Anyone have info about steroids for a paper?
Our neighbor is here.she's writing an end-of-summer-course school paper...I'd offered to help but I have NO idea about this stuff, nor are we having a lot of luck searching the Web.
Her paper is about steroid use in America and she's using the death of that wrestler as a foundation but basing it on other people who use the same things and all the different ways they get the steroids. So here's what we need to find out: If someone buys steroids on the Internet obviously they can be arrested and we found Web sites that detail all the laws in that regard, so that was really useful and good. But we can't find anything more about how it happens. What if they order products and then do not accept them or refuse to accept them or say they did not know it was illegal? Or what if they ordered them to lose weight and didn't know they were illegal? Anyone know about these kinds of things? Thanks much.
Answers:
First of all, steroids had nothing to do with the imbecile who killed his family and self. Get that straight right off the start. Steroids do not MAKE people kill. Just like there is no such thing as 'roid rage'. Understand? There is NO medical proof that steroid use causes 'roid rage'. Period. Her paper is already flawed if she is using that as the 'foundation'.
Now, if a buyer is presented a steroid package from a postal worker and refuses it, he/she is safe. Steroids are purchased without needing to be signed for. Otherwise, by signing or physically taking them from a postal worker, (otherwise known as a 'controlled delivery'), is grounds for taking possession of the drugs. An educated steroid purchaser knows that if the package is presented to them, then postal investigators know what is inside and should refuse it.
Saying they didn't know they were illegal and they are caught with them is not a defense. Ignorance can not be accepted. Kinda like saying using or buying coke was an unknown illegal act, know what I mean?
I think that answers your questions.
