In another thread I posed the question asking if there is a formal lobbying entity for AAS.
I’d like to know the REAL reason for the avalanche of anti-AAS legislation. I’m not sure we have it from the horse’s mouth that it’s the drug companies, or the cheating-in-sports hysteria, or effects on youth or any of the other theories bandied about here. These are just plausible theories. We need to find former congressmen (who have nothing to lose) and ask them what forces made them to vote to make the stuff sched III.
The benefits to male health are unquestionable.
One place to start is AARP. They are a powerful lobby in Washington, and AAS could benefit older men significantly. Few of us are old enough to be AARP members. But, AARP is a lobbying group with clout that could make some in-roads in Washington’s steroid policy. They need to be persuaded to take up the cause.
Also, it could be approached at the state level. Many state laws have been crafted to mimic the federal laws. If, instead, a state has NO laws punishing AAS use (thus leaving it to the Feds only to prosecute) the state makes a statement that AAS isn’t even on their radar. Local police won’t enforce federal laws. I know this doesn’t legalize AAS at the state level. But, in having no laws banning the stuff, the state positions itself as an indifferent actor on the issue. If all states did this, then the burden would be completely on the federal government for enforcement.
I vote TC to be our chief lobbyist.
