What's the most compelling anti-steroid argument you've heard?

I'm curious what people are actually using to combat the concept that we should all be freely allowed to inject this shit into ourselves. I have seen people mention health risks, but steroids have zero deaths attributed to them in all recorded history and the 'health concern' types aren't exactly removing tobacco, alcohol, fast food/processed foods and other dangerous things from their lives that have actually caused deaths and/or very serious medical conditions. There's the elitists who act like using gear is evil and won't touch it because they only want 'natural' progress and think their gains are 'real' gains, but if you take away their knee sleeves, turn the music off, remove caffeine or other stim products suddenly they cannot perform the same way as they do with these things (to name a few), which would mean their performance is unnaturally enhanced while using them.

We are disregarding competition where testing exists, as this is only 'bad' because it violates known rules and that's the hill they'll all fuckin die on. So, beyond that shit. I wanna see if there's any real, worthwhile argument against what we do.

A friend of mine got chronic kidney failure at 29. He always ran the safest cycles from the most trusted sources, and always supplemented properly. That's just about the most compelling anti-steroid argument I can make. No matter how safe you play it, you are putting your body under a lot of stress. There's no way around it.

You're not thinking straight or just being insincere, as none of your arguments are constructed logically. You dismiss health risks by saying a) steroids have not been attributed as cause of death - that's because they don't kill you directly like a gunshot to the head or injecting poison, so you won't find this on medical records for various reasons, and b) because other drugs are considered worse - that's the definition of 'whataboutism' and has nothing to do with the potential health risks of steroid use.

You'll probably change your mind only when you fuck yourself up via steroid abuse, hopefully in time to fix the problem.

"What-about-ism" . I've never heard that term but it just shot to the top of my useful vocabulary. THANKS

NOTHING I've ever heard is compelling. The only sensical argument is still mediocre, the health concerns. We do so many things that have a small chance of killing us every single day, that I just can't take anyone seriously who is "scared" of getting whatever in 10 or 20 years from non-excessive use of Anabolics, yet goes out and drives a car every fucking day.

People drive because it's useful in helping them achieve their goals, and if they drive safely, the risks are small enough that they more than likely won't die. People still do die of course, everyday, b/c that's the way statistics work. For some reason when it applies to substances in your body, people get all retarded and it DuZ NoT ComPooT for them anymore.

Notable exception being alcohol. No one cares how much you drink, until your drinking starts to affect them LMAO.
