House passes bill to crack down on anabolic steroids

By Cristina Marcos

The House on Monday passed legislation that would expand the types of muscle-enhancing anabolic steroids subject to federal regulation.

Passed by voice vote, the measure would add 25 new substances to the list of anabolic steroids regulated by the Drug Enforcement Administration. Additionally, false labeling of anabolic steroids would be subject to a penalty of up to $500,000 per violation.

The bill, titled the Designer Anabolic Steroid Control Act (DASCA), would further authorize the attorney general to issue a permanent order to add a substance to its definition of anabolic steroids.Rep. Joe Pitts (R-Pa.), the bill's sponsor, said it would prevent manufacturers from selling supposed all-natural muscle enhancers that are actually just modified chemical versions of existing steroids.

"DASCA will protect consumers from these harmful products by giving the DEA the tools and authority to classify designer steroids as controlled substances," Pitts said.

Del. Donna Christensen (D-Virgin Islands) said the measure would help keep unsafe drugs out of public consumption.

"H.R. 4771 will go a long way to removing dangerous steroids from the market," Christensen said.

It is inevitable unfortunately. I have a huge problem with people who sit on their asses and make decisions about what I can or cannot put into my own body. Especially when it doesn't effect my ability to function properly, make rationale decisions or operate a motor vehicle, etc.
The most dangerous drugs, that threaten our society, health and well being of our children are being handed out like candy by legal drug pushers. The amount of drugs or nation takes (along with small children) are staggering. Many SSRI's are being given to children as young as 2 years old to treat "symptoms" of anxiety and depression. Seriously? At the age of 2 they can determine this?
What a fucked up world we live in that this is a acceptable but we can't take "drugs" to enhance our physiques and performance? And this to "keep us safe"? What a Crock of shit. And all of the fucking sheep out there who go along with it. Of course they are against it, these drugs obviously negatively effect not only the user but everyone that user comes into contact.
Bunch of hypocrites! That should all be locked up.

This is another example of a govt given way way too much leeway over peoples personal behaviors regardless if they hurt or inconvenience anyone else. They now believe, due in part to the passage of the affordable care act, that they have the right to limit or ban anything believed to be dangerous to those who they now provide "health care" for. All those who wanted govt run health insurance should be comforted to know that they're being watched out for...that is unless they enjoy having the freedom to buy what they choose or eat things with fat and sugar in them or drink coffee with caffeine in it. The fact they're after designer roids is nothing compared to all the other areas in our personal lives they now feel perfectly entitled to control. Stock up now on any of these you like, and maybe buy up all the sugar and no doze you can while you're at it.

It all comes down to sports. They are so hell bent on making sports "fair" that they write these laws and hold congressional hearings about them. How many hearings did they have regarding baseball vs hearings about that stupid nigger Holder giving guns to cartels?

 

[TripleOvertime]

It's ok though guys. In my state I can go to one of hundreds of dispensaries and buy weed and get fucked up on that while I drive to the store and buy a bottle of booze. God forbid though I swallow a pill to gain some muscle all the while being sober and minding my own business.
Logic, not even once.

[Mafiaballer7]

This is crazy

 

[heady muscle]

We might not be able to push the vote from the legislative end of this, but a petition/boycott of the all the companies such as NOW that is backing (and surely "sponsoring") this bill would definitely cause some heads to turn.

This would need to hit every forum and blog and all too sign. It would have too be a UNITED WE STAND from within our community and of course from all manufactures of PH's.

 

[OTG85]

Just keep making them and become a "source" bootleg dmz

 

[DUB73]

there is a 2% chance that this goes to senate? Don't think it is to much to worry about this round.
