Attest:

JEFF TRANDAHL,

Clerk.

Wish I could find a link, but I am pretty sure that senator Ted Kennedy wants dehydroepiandrosterone(DHEA) added to the banned list.

I don't understand, why should we not believe the hype of buy now because they will be banned soon?

not sure why you think the "hurry up and buy" thing is off base? the key point (from what i read) is that when it passes prohormones will be immediately classified as steroids under the law. i don't see any grace period or anything like that.

There's been a lot of lobbying from manufacturers of DHEA and it looks as though it won't be affected by the ban.

Sadly, there hasnt been enough lobbying by the companies we use.




I could be wrong, but looking at the list, I think there is one I do not see..... and its not DHEA.

what is the one you do not see, can i get a pm about it? the person that runs customnutrition seems pretty concerned he made a post about it on anabolicminds so something must have happened and i think they said they were was a post on designer supplements

I dont think there is a need to stock up big time now, but i would say to be ready for it about a month after the election. Bush has more to worry about right now than PH's/PS's so this bill is just sitting until later I bet within 2 months of the election this bill will be finalized and enforced. Sadly it's no marketing tactic.

Personally, I am stocking up. Id rather do it a little at a time than all at once. That way, it doesnt hit my wallet as hard.

I agree with you on timing but I hear this is a high priority for the Whitehouse. I know a lobbyist in the dietary supplement area and she was saying a lot of mainstream supplement companies have given this bill alot of support as they "don't think steroids belong in the supplement industry". They are basically scared of bad publicity and negative amendments to DSHEA. IMO it's a good time to start stocking up.

I think there is more on the the ban posted on the internet saying that any new "designer" supplement like THG will be immediately added to the banned list as soon as they discover it...

There will most definitely be more designer drugs like THG but there will probably be no commercial market as a supplement (sellers would risk felony drug charges)..it will be an undergroud thing that only elite profession athletes can afford.

After the bill passes if someone wants to use an androgen as a performance/appearence enhancer with out a prescription they will be forced to commit a crime .

That will be my defense. I was forced to do it.

With everything going on today... doesnt Congress have more important things to argue than supplements?

Just bothers the hell outta me.



O/T - By the way, Pirate, thanks for responding to the PM a while back, I never did thank you. Everything worked out great with CNW. BTW, you have a PM.
