New Senate bill introduced that would 2x prison time and 10x the fine for steroids

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/112/s3431

Senators Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) just introduced S. 3431 yesterday: "A bill to amend the Controlled Substances Act to more effectively regulate anabolic steroids" which would increase prison time from 5 to 10 years and increase the maximum fine from $250K to $2.5 million for steroid distribution, and it also puts significant additional restrictions on steroid use.

It was just introduced so there's still a bit of a process before it gets out of committee and goes to a vote, but what you can do right now is call Hatch and Whitehouse and let them know you don't support this bill.

Some of the things you could mention if you call are:

The AMA, DEA, and NIH all opposed the inclusion of AAS in the controlled substances act in 1990,
AAS when used properly by adults (and not abused) can have significant health benefits,
There is zero scientific evidence that supports the theory that that AAS are addictive by themselves.

What makes it acceptable to do pot, but not look after your body and do steroids? How come we dont get a pass too?

I believe Hatch to be pure evil. He has to be 113yrs old.

God that would be amazing. I seriously hope we see many more drugs legalized in the near future (Marijuana and steroids primarily). I hope this shit bill doesn't go through...
Zeek could you post #'s for places to call about this? For us lazy bastards?

If you look at it from an economic standpoint, it makes a lot of sense as of why they are so strict about steroids... It not convenient for the economy for you to be healthy... Less doctor visits, makes them no money. Shit you migh not even buy medical insurance if you dont need it. The longer you live the more money the are going to have to give you in retirement, social security, medicare and all that...

Yupp America strikes back...

Damn Zeek. Yeah isn't that the way it always goes? Big government doing whatever they want. America is great and all, but the government really does fuck its citizens in the ass.

Yup, and of all the things they could be working on - the number one priority was Steroids. How about the frickin economy - nah, thats progressing just fine!

That's insane!! What they need to be worrying about is the flood of violence that common street drugs are bringing into the border communities by Mexican Cartels. Cocaine, Meth, Heroin!!!! There isn't any massacre's or mass murdering over steroids like there is with these substances.

And the funny thing is that Barney Frank and Ron Paul tried to pass a marijuana legalization bill. So just say yes to hydro, and just say no to anavar!!

I think WE americans need to let the fucking Gov know about how tired we are about the stupids laws they are trying to put out and not tacking care or the real problems with real needs. Stop the Bull shit from the Gov starts from who you vote for...

Lulu nailed it. Big pharma doesn't like this because steroids are generic and cheap.

It's the ol' military industrial complex, guys.

Besides, the more people in prison, the more money moves from the 99% to the 1%. It's as simple as that.

this is true pikiki but what do you do when the only choices you have to vote for are between a few piles of shit? I hate having to pick the best pile of shit to vote for. Its like a multiple choice question where all the available answers are completely fuckin wrong but you still have to pick the best wrong answer out of the answers that are given to you...its all fuckin bullshit and thats a completely different conversation.
