Yeh go to a bbs with dedicated steroid rooms and get a totally unbiased opinion on roids, not lol!!

You may get a more 'educated' opinion, if you call being educated reading up on the net what various roids do+using them, but it will be biased as a much larger proportion of those people will have/do use gear.

Whats wrong with people posting observations on what they've seen? Do you have to have actually taken roids ureself to have an opinion on them?

I have taken alot of gear and will use in the future. I have seen in myself and others the negative side effects. Luckily, my negatives have not been as bad as some i've seen but i've had them. I've been a total twat on gear, lost gf's and mates through it, had acne like you wouldn't believe in my MID 20's, awful stretch marks etc, plus i dont know what damage i may have done to my insides i.e. my heart.

I've seen one mate who had to go to casualty with an infection/abcess (sp?) in his ass cheek, lovely scar that left, also another mate with a fucking liver tumour in his mid 20's. Now ok you can't 100% say it was the gear (or growth hormone he was on too) that caused his tumour....but hey alls i know is thats not normal, and he wouldn't take anything now even if you paid him.

Of course like any drug it's bad effects can be negated to a large extent, but there's always a risk with these drugs imo, and people often start out taking very little and end up doing/taking things they thought they never would.

If it's that bad then why do I say I'll use them again? I've been training for 15 years and believe i'm past my natural sticking point. I'd never use like i have done in the past though.
