In which country's is it legal to posess steroids for personal use?

In the UK it is legal to posess steroids for personal use but illegal to sell them.
In Thailand it is legal to posess steroids for personal use and it is legal to sell them.
I believe posession and sale is illegal in the US, but I might be wrong?

Where do you live and what are the laws?

Thanks for the feedback, why do you say not a chance.................I thought France, Italy and Germany would have similar laws to the UK.
All being one European common market and all that!

Do you have practical experience, friends in these regions or links to the laws for these regions?
I go back to Samui next week (I'm currently in London) and have Italian and German mates where I should be able to get it confirmed one way or the other.

I used the search but couldn't believe I could not locate a thread on this subject.
All feedback is warmly welcommed.

European countries(not eastern european) may have similar possession laws but you cant buy them over the counter, only available on the black market.

I have personal experience with the S.American,European(they are no longer available in Greece), eastern European and middle eastern markets where they are widely available. In addition, where you find these 'over the counter' countries you also find that 'over the counter fakes' are common, caution should be excercised, its easy to get carried away and buy,buy,buy!!!

In my experience the less developed the country the more likley you are to find AAS in pharmacies, this generally excludes Africa where I have never come accross them, except in Morrocco and Egypt.

If you're heading back to Thailand then why dont you just wait till you get there?

[mesoman]

turkey is easy to access AS but the range of pharmacy supplied steroids is very limited ( deca, sust primo are available) problem is getting them into the country you are flying back to not getting them out of turkey) .

[x_moe]

middle eastern countries are the best imo, when i went to the Emirates(U.A.E) steroids were "illegal" but no one ever got arrested for using it or selling it you can buy them from any gym owner and all they have is legit brands, they dont have ugl's and the pharmacies there sell nolva,clomid,hcg etc. all with out prescriptions, Also in Lebanon steroids are legal

[Andy Thai]

Xtralarge, I've only ever done gear in Thailand and will wait till I get there.......................On Monday HOORAY! Sun, sea, sand, steroids etc.....

I think you are completly right re the less developed countries.
As a country becomes more developed it generally becomes more anal (IMO) and hence tries to legislate about everything.

Great feedback re the legalities of steroids guy's.

WRITTEN BY HITCH
CURRENT LAW IN THE UK ON STEROIDS.

Two main statutory controls exsist in relation to drug use in the uk:
the medicines act 1968 and the misuse of drugs act 1971 ('MDA').
The former essentially regulates , through a licsensing system on how drugs are marketed and sold.The latter is targeted against the criminal production, supply and possesion of various compounds.Schedualed within it, and is concerned to limit to defined group and legitamate purposes, the availability of a range of drugs which been determined to pose a significant threat to society.

A wide selection of performance enhancing drugs were schedualed to be regulated under the MDA act of 1996. Up until this time the only controls that exsisted were those in place under the medicines act 1968 common with most other drugs. At the time of the law change it was difficult to understand the direction to which the law being directed. Home office press releases at the time were kept very much to place the war on drugs mantra in mind declaring a battle to stamp out abuse of steroids.
The introduction of the law has led to uncertain and uneasy position for the user, and a less than clear mandate for intervntion for the enforcement of the authorities. In seeking to deal with a percieved social harm related to drug taking , The law change in fact means actual harm is inflicted upon users.

The advisory coucil on misuse of drugs (' ACMD')
Its duty is to keep under review the situation in the uk with respect to drugs which are being or appear to be likely to be misused and of which the misuse is having or appears to be having harmful effects sufficent to constitute a social problem.

The ACDM first examined AS in the late 1980"s, but concluded at that time the social harm test was unfulfilled. The issue was revisited in 1993 after publication of department of health sponsered a review investigating use-patterns and potential public health concerns. On this occasion the ACDM felt compelled to reccomend that AS be brought under the misuse of drugs act 1971 and should be noted that the report itself explicitly stated that it did not consider the social implications of use and remained confined to medical concerns.In particular the risk of hiv through unsafe injecting procedours.
Greater education and health promotion was decided the best way forward.
The council then advised that mere possesion of AS should not be an offence under the act and the government seemed to legisalte accordingly.

CONCLUSION.
IT is illegal to import or export anabolic steroids with the intent to supply, Anabolic steroids in accordance with the ACDM recommendation it woul;d not , however be an offence simply to possess these drugs in the united kingdom.



so their you go guys that is the law as it stands on steroids in the uk.
