Probably wouldn’t.
Probably wouldn’t, mainly because of legal concerns and my wife’s views on steroids.
definitely would
probably would. right now, im still young (20, but still in a young body), and im not even close to finished growing naturally, let alone lifting. once i stop growing and my t levels drop, i plan on using a pro-hormone (mag 10, etc), however if prohormones are banned, i would probably consider a few cycles.
Probably wouldn’t. Going to use Mag-10 beginning of 2003.
Definately would. If my legal options are taken away, I will feel no compunctions at all about goinside the law. Had the products remained legal and OTC, I would happily remained legal myself. I have never used an illegal steroid at this point. The ban, and my choice not to simply “do without,” would both contribute to my decision. Any lawmakers who disrespect my right to make common-sense choices will not, in turn, get my respect for their dumb legal leashes either.
I don’t think would go for the roids, but would deff. try to get te pro hormones in some manner even though they were banned(well I should just go for the steriods actually because they would be o th same level as far as illigalness…)hmmmmm
Thanks to all!
From 48 replies where the answer was clear, here are the results:

(Does not sum to exactly 100% due to rounding error.)
While this may not be closely representative of “prohormone” users in general, it is suggestive that if such products are banned, a substantial percentage will turn to black-market anabolic steroids. It seems clear to me that such a ban would be of benefit to no one: it would be a question of some people “trying to protect others from themselves” yet actually making things worse, and addressing a supposed problem that really is not a problem.
As Wayne said, even sugar for example is far more of a public health problem… as also is aspirin for example.
And if it is a question of “doing it for the children,” it’s not a sound principle to impose a ban on availability to adults on anything because of not wanting children to have access to things. Rather, if appropriate one has laws dealing specifically with providing or making available the thing to minors.
Not that prohormone use by minors is remotely on the top 100 (or whatever) of actual public health problems among minors
caused by consumption of products, anyhow.
I’d have to disagree with that Bill, I don’t buy it. Prohormones are massed marketed in mainstream media and increase the availability of steroid like agents to millions who would have never had access to them before. The sheer volume of the mass marketing not only educates more people to steroids but it also gives them a “preview” of what the real thing is like. Also, I can see people who would have never tried steroids before, but would try prohormones because they are considered “legit.” In the absense of the “legit” roids, some would now look for a substitute, finding only real steroids to be satisfying. Again, I challenge Biotest to come up with revolutionary products that don’t involve quasi-steroids. The writing is on the wall. It’s only a matter of time before these things are gone the way of ephedra. So why not come up with some alternatives?
Bill, As a user of prohormones I definitley wouldn’t pursue the use of illegal drugs as an alternative to prohormones. What makes prohormones attractive is the fact that they are currently legal, safe, and effective. What a government! It supports a tobacco industry that literally poisons thousands of people with its product each day, but persecutes an industry that strives to help average citizens help themselves to healthier and happier lives. When are WE THE PEOPLE finally going to tell them that we’ve had enough? Jefferson was correct, perhaps a little rebellion every now and then is necessary to maintain our liberty. Who better than T-Men to lead it?
I definitely would resort to using illegal pharmaceutical steroids
However, I am not sure how my statement can be interpreted because I have used such anabolics and will continue to use them. For results on my Mag-10 experience, however, you can check to see for yourself on the steroids board in a few days what kind of opinion I have formulated about legal prosteroids, namely Mag-10.
Probably would. I have put on 20 lbs of lbm from pro-hormones and would hate to see them become illegal.
Obviously it’s not as easy as waving your hands around and coming up with a new supplement. There is a reason why steriods work better than just about everything else, it’s called Chemistry. There’s only so much that can be done.
Don’t now, and my mind wouldn’t change because of myopic politicians
Probably would.
Probably would
Definatly would
JUST A THOUGHT AND ANALOGY… well if they ban prohormones then why not just ban alcohol for adults and everyone else just cause teenagers and underagers abuse it in high school and college. I hate the way our government makes exceptions to some things just cause the executives are sucking the politicians dicks, burn all of the politicians at the stake.
probably would
----however, being 35 now, I’d likley wait until I was 40ish, and first try to find a doctor with the balls to presrcibe T as an anti-aging treatment, the whole andro-pause thing–I’m in Arizona, where there seems to be more doctors doing the anti-aging thing
The problem is there are no rational guiding principles that have been established for the government to act consistently with. The same government that targets Ecstasy makes it legal for a person to purchase a tall enough bottle of hard liquor to put anyone short of Andre the Giant into an alcohol-induced coma in one sitting or ruin their liver and negatively effect other organs with excessive use over time. How many times do we hear about people getting arrested for drifting all over the road on E or worse killing someone? How many episodes of Cops do we see them making a domestic violence visit to a house because “everytime he pops one of those E pills he starts getting violent?” And plenty of sleeping pills are sold over the counter that have the ability to kill with excess. We can have enough sweets and sugar to become Diabetics. We can have enough greasy steaks and fast foods to get heart disease and become lethargic lazy fat asses. But we can’t have Ephedrine to lose fat and gain energy. We can’t have pro-steroids/steroids even though a healthy diet and lifestyle is probably more common among moderate users than the general population. The key to it all is practical intelligence and moderation. The government has a responsibility to educate to enable intelligent, adult decisions based upon individual priorities and goals not to assume the role of making those decisions for us.
