Thread: DEA Wants to Classify Superdrol and Prostanozol as Schedule III Anabolic Steroids

time to take advantage of the cyber-monday deals.

thank you for the update, this is crazy

One day whey is going to get banned lol

Stock up time

Thanks guys.

Super DMZ rx is on my shopping list...

time to load the stockpile.

Already stocked on SD, will certainly be trying to add as much more as I can. It is by far my favorite oral I've tried. DEA can fuck off with their bullshit, don't they have more important things to deal with, you know like the meth problem?

Ironically the DEA and FDA were never in favor of classifying AAS as a Schedule III drug.

The Congressional Hearings
In the mid 1980's, media reports of two problems came to the attention of Congress: the increasing use of anabolic steroids in professional and amateur sports, and a "silent epidemic" of high school steroid use. Between 1988 and 1990, Congressional hearings were held to determine the extent of these problems and whether the Controlled Substances Act should be amended to include anabolic steroids along with more serious drugs such as cocaine and heroin.1 It is sometimes overlooked that the reported adverse medical effects of steroid use, such as potential liver damage and endocrinological problems, were completely irrelevant to the criteria for scheduling under the Controlled Substances Act.2

Many witnesses who testified at the hearings, including medical professionals and representatives of regulatory agencies -- including the FDA, the DEA and the National Institute on Drug Abuse -- recommended against the proposed amendment to the law. Even the American Medical Association repeatedly and vehemently opposed it, maintaining that abuse of these hormones does not lead to the physical or psychological dependence required for scheduling under the Controlled Substances Act. However, the records from the hearings suggest that any "psychologically addictive" properties of steroids were secondary considerations to Congress. The majority of witnesses called to testify at the hearings were representatives from competitive athletics. Their testimony, and apparently Congress' main concern, focused on legislative action far less to protect the public than to solve an athletic "cheating" problem.3 Congress wanted steroids out of sports and classified steroids as Schedule III controlled substances. As a result, these sex hormones stand out as a strange anomaly among the codeine derivatives, central nervous system depressants, and stimulants that form the rest of Schedule III.4

The Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 1990 and the New York State Legislation

The Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 19905 added anabolic steroids to the federal schedule of controlled substances, thereby criminalizing their non-medical use by those seeking muscle growth for athletic or cosmetic enhancement. It places steroids in the same legal class as amphetamines, methamphetamines, opium and morphine. Those caught illegally possessing anabolic steroids even for purely personal use face arrest and prosecution. Under the Control Act, it is unlawful for any person knowingly or intentionally to possess an anabolic steroid unless it was obtained directly, or pursuant to a valid prescription or order, from a practitioner, while acting in the course of his professional practice (or except as otherwise authorized). A simple possession conviction is punishable by a term of imprisonment of up to one year and/or a minimum fine of $1,000.6 Simple possession by a person with a previous conviction for certain offenses, including any drug or narcotic crimes, must get imprisonment of at least 15 days and up to two years, and a minimum fine of $2,500, and individuals with two or more such previous convictions face imprisonment of not less than 90 days but not more than three years, and a minimum fine of $5,000.7 Distributing anabolic steroids, or possessing them with intent to distribute, is a federal felony.8 An individual who distributes or dispenses steroids, or possesses with intent to distribute or dispense, is punishable by up to five years in prison (with at least two additional years of supervised release) and/or a $250,000 fine ($1,000,000 if the defendant is other than an individual).9 Penalties are higher for repeat offenders.10
In New York State, anabolic steroids are classified as Schedule II controlled substances,11 and their possession can be prosecuted as a class "A" misdemeanor criminal offense,12 punishable by up to a year in jail.13 Sale of anabolic steroids is a class "D" felony in New York,14 regardless of the quantity sold, punishable by up to seven years in prison.15

Damn shame...

since it's really the media (you know guys who couldn't make their sports teams and decided to live their dreams thru writing about sports instead) that is the stumbling block, I move that writers aren't allowed to use electronic typing devices....it's an unfair performance advantage and not natural......even playing field for those who only have pencil and paper

FYI ~ if you like Superdrol I suggest that you start stocking up now, we may be done with it after next month! IronMagLabs Super-DMZ Rx

Not really sad to see Sdrol leave......that shit is more toxic than most original scheduled drugs....

Poor little Pstanz though.....It meant no harm man....that stuff mega dosed did work.

Our products are somewhat naturally occurring but even if they can be claimed DSHEA compliant...the fact that everyone is gaining 10-15 lbs on average.....DHEA and isomers may hit the fan too....

Hopefully not though..

and do u really think that is the reason that its being banned?
the FDA/DEA does not ban anything based on how toxic it is, if that were the case the majority of "FDA approved drugs" would not be on the market.

So is Tylenol.

Acetaminophen and NSAID Toxicity - Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Acetaminophen Poisoning - Life Extension Health Concern

Tylenol aka Acetaminophen is an..."Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs are a significant source of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Although the shelves of every major drug store and grocery store are heavily stocked with these common medications—and they are used millions of times every day—few people are aware of the dangers posed by common OTC medications, especially acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and naproxen. Acetaminophen and NSAIDs commonly cause serious liver and gastrointestinal side effects, yet most people have no idea how dangerous they can be."

SUMMARY: This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proposes to classify the following two steroids as "anabolic steroids" under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA): prostanozol (17[beta]-hydroxy- 5[alpha]-androstano[3,2-c]pyrazole) and methasterone (2[alpha],17[alpha]-dimethyl-5[alpha]-androstan-17[beta]-ol-3-one). The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) believes that this action is necessary to prevent the abuse and trafficking of

these steroids. If the regulations are amended, these steroids will be listed as Schedule III controlled substances subject to the regulatory control provisions of the CSA.
