When it comes down to HGH it's definitely a gray area in the law. I'm not suggesting someone openly say they are using it or carrying it or have it on them. However as former military and law-enforcement I would like to think I'm educated in control substance laws. That being said if you check the DEA website HGH is still not listed as a controlled substance. I have never heard of or seen anyone actually got arrested for it. Every time I asked family members that are still in law-enforcement about this compound, they just kind of shrug and say it's in the gray area. No one is going to say it's legal, but no one can prove that it is addictive, does harm to you, causes you to do illegal activity, or make you violent. So it's considered a victimless crime. Again, I'm not telling you to walk around and say that you have it on you or that you use it because there are technicalities and the law and I'm sure they can find a way to get someone in trouble for it. But as of right now it is still not listed as a controlled substance.

I'm all for it legalized weed is just going to get alot of kids on drugs if people want weed they will still get it .. i grew up around it been there done that no need to go through life high all the time... my state is full of hippie yuppies since it was legalized.
I dont know much about sessions but if Trump appointed him i trust his judgement.

I totally agree no need to go thru life high all the time and I totally trust in trumps judgment I just think sessions could cost us taxpayers an undue burden in his zeal to be our drug czar there are alot more drugs alot worse than weed we should spend our time and resources on let the hippies be go after the cartels instead in my opinion and I live in a legalized state full of hippies myself and ya just dont see news stories about hippies rob 7 11 for a dab lol

True good point im going to have to look more into this.

BigWA67's picture

Sessions is defiantly the right man for the job I just hope finally someone will go after the cartels they are a much bigger threat to the U.S. and all it's citizen's than a bunch of potheads it just never amazes me how we can go and stomp a mudhole in the middle East terrorist asses but we can't bring down the problem right next door

Anabolic growth hormones are being found in the state’s mail with police now specifically targeting the drug

PATRICK BILLINGS, Police reporter, Mercury

GYM junkie is taking on a new meaning in Tasmania after a spike in the amount of steroids seized by police.

Due to the levels of steroids coming into Tasmania, often by mail, police are now treating it as its own drug category to monitor the problem.

Police seized 2758mL of steroids in 2016-17 with more than 75 per cent of that being intercepted in the state’s south.

Detective Inspector Jason Elmer, who ran the drug squad when the problem emerged, said most of the steroids were being bought in small amounts for personal use.

“Because we are monitoring the mail more closely we were certainly seizing more of it as that was where it was coming through,” he told the Mercury.

“It’s a mixed profile but a lot of it does come back to young gym goers who use the internet to order it.

“We don’t believe there’s large scale trafficking of steroids but it’s a concern in terms of safety because these people don’t know what they are putting into their body, particularly when they are ordering it [from] outside of the country.”

Anabolic steroids are synthetic variations of the male sex hormone testosterone.

They are prevalent in bodybuilding and sports because they boost athletic performance.

Insp Elmer said some offenders were claiming ignorance when busted by police.

“People quite often say they didn’t realise it was illegal … they were getting on the internet in the majority of cases and ordering it in,” he said.

“We are certainly monitoring it very closely and people need to be aware that it’s an offence to bring it into the state and to use it.”

This statement Irks me. People shouldnt need big brother to protect us from ourselves. Granted a large percentage of our population probably needs the guidance, but not this gym goer.
