Rational benefits of using steroids?
I am a grad student doing a research project on anabloic steroids. I need to come up with some legitimate benefits of using steroids (fro argumentative purposes). I am looking for information from valid sources (MDs, PhDs, organizations, etc) that steroids may not be that bad after all and should not be out-lawed.
Also, if any of you have an opinion about legalizing steroid use again and why, I would greatly appreciate it. Please help.
Thanks,
Amanda

Amanda, I'm currently working on PhD in exercise science. Not to piss on your parade but your research topic will be very difficult due to negative mass media on steroids. I precaution you on "legitimate resources" you find. Be aware of who funds the research that will ultimately decide the outcome of the experiment (too much bias in science today). Your best bet is to satrt with controlled/prescribed use in HIV patients.

1. why should steroids be legalized? There is no link to its use or distribution leading to the break down of society (gangs, drug sales perpetuating violence etc.)
2. it is not addictive, and so there are no juicer's robbing and stealing for a "fix" like addicts on crack or heroin.
3. no one has ever overdosed from steroids- even after many people use them for over a decade, they are still in good health.
4. it does not impair judgement, so if a juicer gets behind the wheel while on a cycle, he is not endangering himself or those around him.
5. and to those that say roid rage exists: your wrong. it does not. people who have propencities for violence may become violent while on steroids only because they feel "strong" and they can not handle their new found strength. solution: have it used as a percription drug where only doctors can prescribe and administer it, so that it can not be used in unsafe doseages.
so why is it illegal: politicians feel that if it was legalized that steroids would run rampid through sports, in high school, college, and professional. not to mention the olympics
what i say: they are all niave fools. anyone with moderate intelligence can get them, why not have them use them with supervision.
at the very least it should be decriminalized, meaning that punishment for getting caught with them is a fine for a few hundred bucks, but never jail time.
bottom line: alcohol is more dangerous than steroids, not to mention other illegal drugs such as crack or heroin. alcohol and tobacco are responsible for more deaths, both of the innocent and those who use them, than are steroids.
