intro

[psyc22]

Marine Corps veteran, currently doing some security contracting in the middle east. I have my undergrad in psyc, with a concentration in substance use disorder. I am an advocate for substance use for personal enhancement yet interested in how it can potentially cross the fine line into misuse. I plan on going to grad school after I am done with the contracting world. This forum is a great source of information. I am excited to learn and potentially pass on the knowledge I gain.

Great intro!
Are you lifting or abusing any substances yourself?

Welcome. The best data is empirical. Have you run any experiments?

^Thank you, and hahah. Been weight training for 12 years. Played college football. I started taking pro-hormones way too early. Didn't hop on real gear till I was 24. I won't run more then 2 cycles a year. My natural test is in the 700 range, I make sure I recover as far as blood-work before I cycle again. I wouldn't call it abusing unless it had a negative impact on my life, as long as it brings more positive then negative. Just like any substance it depends on the manner in which it is utilized.

I have not run any experiments, I have worked with patients at rehab facilities/methadone clinics that were diagnosed with substance use disorder, a lot of them had used anabolic steroids to the point of misuse. Yet the primary reason they were there was due to other substances, no one was admitted solely because they misused gear. There is a fine line between use and abuse. I do plan on running experiments in the future, most definitely.

Welcome aboard. Just an FYI, don't believe 1/2 the shit these guys say; most don't even lift.
