Well it's as safe as doing something illegal can be .
It's as safe as scammers make it .

Good luck .

A lot of those site don't operate in the US. Besides, do you really think the government is going to spend thousands of dollars to investigate you and then send agents to your house to arrest you only to catch you with a personal stash? They're looking for distributors and dealers, not so much users. But that's not to say there is no risk.

^^^^^Agreed.. they got bigger fish to fry.. plus once every few years they do a big steroid bust and it is in the papers for about a day and then they move on.. i have read articles interviewing cops about this and they just said that they do not get the pat on the back that they would get for major drugs.. like stopping 1kg of cocaine would be a bigger deal then stopping about 2000 bottles of test.. even though the test is worth a lot more on the black market.. no one cares if a few healthy guys in the gym are juicing, we aren't causing any problems..

i used the internet a few times back in the day and never had any problems when i was living in cali.. the sites know how to get things in and some sites even get them into the country in large quantities and then mail domestically so it never goes through customs.

^^^ This is the whole thing. If the average roid user was knocking off liquor stores to get the money to pay for their cycles or if there were that many bodies going to the morgue from roid use, the media would put more focus on it and thus you'd hear of more busts. But the average steroid user is typically holding down a full-time job, not out getting trashed at the late hours of the night. Usually it's the squeeky wheel that gets the grease.

At that point, you're not just using gear, you're selling it.

**redz** · 03-23-2011, 07:33 AM

Buying gear online is always a crap shoot however having said that I have never been ripped off and in fact actually received more than I ordered before. I have had the customs letter before so now I stick to domestic.

**07santafe** · 03-23-2011, 02:28 PM

That makes sense i never thought about the money it would take to watch shit like that just to bust someone for possession but it still seems risky mainly just for scammers trying to get your money more so than the law being involved

**bjpennnn** · 03-23-2011, 02:45 PM

Just find domestic bro even it it costs more money its worth it not to worry about anything.

**bjpennnn** · 03-23-2011, 02:46 PM

If you got hate in your heart let it out **** yo mama

lol what?

and OP i used to get gear for me and my friends online, usually the worst that happens is if customs seizes your order, and sends you a letter saying they've seized a shipment of controlled substance that was destined to your house. Your address will then be flagged and future orders are more likely to be seized. This is just my experience though.

While I try to stay away from these threads as a general rule I gotta comment on why the police don't seem to care about juice that much, you ever notice how many cops are jacked?
