Why are AAS illegal and cigarettes and booze legal?

Why would the drugs company's or governments for that matter want to cure anybody, there is no money in cure, they want you on their drugs for as long as possible.
Where is their money once your cured.
A friend of mine had severe shoulder problems/joint pain, his treatment consisted of cortisone injections, steroids (not anabolic) and physio for years, with no relief.
He moved to Greece where he was prescribed ASS, in a few months his joint pain had gone never to return.
Enough said.

How would AAS help joint pain exactly? I mean how would it fix the problem so that the pain would be gone forever?

And I'm assuming since you used past tense that he isn't currently using anything.

Many steroids have been proven to be great in improving bone and cartilage strength. Many steroids have been shown to be very effective in fighting osteoporosis. That alone should give even the simplest minded person the ability to say "hmm, that might help with joints."
