Here is my opinion as to why STEROIDS are the target right now:

The government NEEDS topics like steroids to help with their image. What more perfect topic can the govt. use???

1. Not many people are educated on steroids

2. Not many people (% of population) use steroids

3. Not many tax payers will be affected by the control of these substances

4. Not many people will care if someone gets 15 years for using these drugs (due to their ignorance on the matter)

5. There is no money to LOBY against these laws that get brought up. (the majority of the money made off of steroids are in other countries and they will not support our fight due to the fact that by doing so, they will not help themselves in the least bit)

With those facts right there... the government can use the ANABOLIC STEROID topic to show the public that they are doing a major justice to the public by handling it with force. In the eyes of many tax payers, the government is doing an awesome job in controlling this HUGE drug problem. This WINS VOTES people! Not only does it win votes and gains movement in a positive direction for a policitcal campaign, it will not effect the majority. Every time an election comes around, you can bet the farm that the topic of steroids will be close by.

It is all for show. It effects minimal amounts of people when laws are past about AAS and due to the media hype, these drugs "brought on by the devil" will be a perfect target to get voters behind the political parties. As of now, the public thinks that AAS is a growing epidemic due to ignorance and the fantastic media coverage.

I will bet you that this will only get worse and you will see and hear more about steroids as time nears an election.
