    It really makes no sense to me that it is regulated strongly in the first place. Why should T be illegal because of a few body builders? Just have steroid use be illegal in sports the way it already is. It being “dangerous” when misused is hardly a good reason, when we allow so many other more dangerous substances and won’t even question their availability.

      US drug laws are extremely irrational, and it’s not really surprising given they were designed to punish and criminalize undesirable elements in society, like racial minorities and political enemies. Medical and scientifically justified concerns about safety were never really a motivation for the laws.
