The End of Prohormones FOREVER! - Several Days Until Laws are Signed

[system admin]

In just a few days, ALL prohormones and designer steroids will be classified as a schedule III controlled substance. Both the House and the Senate has unanimously signed the amendment to the steroid controlled act and ALL loop holes will be closed forever.

The bill is on President Obamas desk to be signed and the moment it does, these prohormones are gone.

Anyone manufacturing these supplements will get fined $500,000 (per bottle) and be arrested for manufacture and distribution of controlled substances.

Anyone selling these supplements will get fined $1,000 (per bottle) and be arrested for sales and distribution.

I can NOT believe this day has come and I feel almost blindsided by it even though its been discussed for over 10 years. I wonder what this does to the supplement industry?

BTW - The MOST interesting thing about this new law is that the FDA will no longer be enforcing this issue, it will now be handled by the DEA. This means that local law enforcement will be busting into stores and arresting people for selling these supplements. WOW

Here is the BILL passed by Congress:

Shown Here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/113th-...ouse-bill/4771


Designer Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2014 - Amends the Controlled Substances Act to add specified substances to the list of those included within the definition of "anabolic steroid." Provides that a drug or hormonal substance (other than estrogens, progestins, corticosteroids, and dehydroepiandrosterone) that is not listed and that is derived from, or has a chemical structure substantially similar to, an anabolic steroid that is listed, shall be considered to be an anabolic steroid for purposes of such Act if it: (1) has been created or manufactured with the intent of producing a substance that either promotes muscle growth or otherwise causes a pharmacological effect similar to that of testosterone; or (2) has been, or is intended to be, promoted in any manner suggesting that consuming it will promote any pharmacological effect similar to that of testosterone.

Prohibits a substance from being considered to be a drug or hormonal substance for purposes of such Act if it is: (1) an herb or other botanical, a concentrate, metabolite, or extract of, or a constituent isolated directly from, an herb or other botanical, or a combination of two or more such substances; or (2) a dietary ingredient for purposes of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and is not anabolic or androgenic . Requires any person claiming the benefit of such an exception to bear the burden of providing the appropriate evidence.

Authorizes the Attorney General to issue an order adding a drug or other substance to the definition of "anabolic steroid" upon finding that: (1) the substance satisfies the criteria for being considered an anabolic steroid, and (2) such addition will assist in preventing abuse or misuse of the substance.

Prohibits importing, exporting, manufacturing, distributing, dispensing, or possessing with intent to manufacture, distribute, or dispense any anabolic steroid, or any product containing an anabolic steroid, unless it bears a label clearly identifying the anabolic steroid by the nomenclature used by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Prescribes penalties. Sets forth an exemption from such IUPAC nomenclature requirement if such product is labeled in the manner required under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as described in this Act.

Authorizes the Attorney General to: (1) collect data and analyze products to determine whether they contain anabolic steroids and are properly labeled, and (2) publish a list of products containing an anabolic steroid that are not properly labeled.

But smoking Pot is ok......... Unbelievable!

[mod1-4]

Smoking pot is much safer for a 18 yr old then a cycle of superdrol cause the guy at GNC told him it will make him jacked

I agree with that 1000%

When I started my first supplement store, I sold a lot of prohormones (Andro-6) and I saw more horrible side effects than ANYTHING I have ever seen with anabolic steroids . In fact, I personally had severe prostate issues and had to get medical attention. Kids have no idea how powerful prohormones can be and should be warned of the dangers. Making money should never be put first over a young persons health.

I agree it's safer, once your home for the night. Just shaking my head at what our "administration" decides to put its energy into.

AMEN!!!! We have NOTHING better to deal with in our perfect UTOPEA of a country other than anabolic steroid related drugs that are used by people who desire to better themselves. Ridiculous.

[chris_columbia]

So i've never gotteN any before, do you recommend i order some this instant? , or do you think they will find ways around this BaN as well? If there really gonna be gone for good i want to at least get a bottle of H-Drol or something to have laying around, ya know , jus cause ill never be able to get it again.

[tdoe11]

This is complete nonsense. Our government is just simply going too far........

I wonder what effect this will have on black market steroids . One can only assume there will be a huge boost of aas customers over time, resulting in more UGLs and more powder manufacturing from China. It seems over the last 4-5 years pro hormones have gotten gnarlier in nature. Used to be one compound in them, I have recently seen many with 4 or 5 compounds per capsule. I wonder what effect the companies had on their own demise?

[derekkpapa1]

Take if off the shelves and sell it to the Russians right before the Olympics

[system admin]

These prohormone companies did this to themselves and their recklessness by adding these illegal and harmful substances and pushing the limit more and more every day. If they would have kept it simple and not so arrogant with their product write ups, we would still have prohormones.

[XxAndreaxX]

wow finally!! Now the question is: will supplement stores make millions by selling the last legal prohormones shit... or will they have to throw everything into the toilet??

[system admin]

They will have to throw it in trash. Get it NOW while you can if you want them. Today or tomorrow (5 days max) they will be gone forever and if a company sells them they can get arrested.

I agree 100%

[jimmyinkedup]

Good riddance...

[king6 II]

My guess is there will be a huge sell off of all remaining PH products. Probably could go for a couple hundred bucks a bottle. The irony is you can get good quality gear that is cheaper and safer. It's funny how people reacts to such events. Kinda like when Hostess went bankrupt, all of the sudden people were paying $50 for a twinkee on ebay.

Everything is cheap as hell, I was looking at some last night and site after site were completly out of stock.

[tice1212]

Now that all prohormouns are illegal are they still junk.. Know they are considered the real thing because you can't buy them OTC... Haha

[SUPERNATURAL]

Wow.. GMO's are legal and safe yet they want to ban supplements… You have people dying from Kidney Failure in India and Kauai from the pesticides and they will not do a damn thing about it.. Unreal!

[king6 II]

Hopefully something good will come from this law. Maybe the threads created by 18 year olds wanting to run a PH cycle will now decrease.

Yeah man that's what I hope for.. These young guys don't know what the hell there doing with this sh*t. And the as*hole behind the counter doesn't care if this kid is fvcked for life. Just caring about the money. Sickening if u think about it..

[davidtheman100]

[Cody95]

[bass]

as much as I hate government intrusion this I am in agreement with, but who's going to classify what's pro-hormone and what's not?! . pro-hormones can really damage a person if they don't know what they're doing, simply put they are dangerous drugs if misused. what scares me is where would they stop, what next, vitamins?!

Next is probably going to be testostrone boosters.

Do you know when it will go in effect?

[Venom]

Hmm I'm not certain on the time frame it becomes official. I do know there is no grace period for the 25 or so compounds that were on the list. So as of today, the 25 compounds are now considered illegal substances. The bill does say the attorney general is allowed to add more compounds to the list and those newly added compounds will get a grace period.

So it's illegal for me to order anymore from eBay today? Damn I only spent $150 2 days ago should have gotten more.

Lmao there are some online retailers that are still selling them on their websites. They are probably going to push sales until midnight.

If you have the money, why not? The government isn't going to care about the couple of hundred bucks you spend last minute on newly illegal compounds. They are going after the retailers and suppliers first.

Damn it, now I'm broke.

[system admin]

This bill is in effect RIGHT NOW. HUGE RISKS GUYS.... HUGE

[system admin]

You guys watch... The biggest and the loudest of these retailers/manufactures is going to be made an example of. I would be scared shitless if I where them.
