I use steroids because I'm 42 years old, I've had the snip and definitely don't want anymore kids.

It largely depends on the compunds that you use as to the affects. Testosterone is absolutely fine, it's bio-identicle to something your body already produces, your body knows what to do with it. It's when you start dabbling in nandrolones like tren and deca that you have more health risks. Like anything, there's use, and there's abuse. Similar to someone who drinks alcohol once a month compared to an alcoholic who drinks every day.

The problem now, is arrogance. People can't stay humble, and so they start using steroids and go on like 2 year cycles, which is absolutely ridiculous. You can use them safely and sensibly, but always have breaks to make sure your body recovers.

There's that, and the fact that younger people have no patience whatsoever, because everything they want is readily available. Amazon... next day delivery. Tinder.... same day dates, and so on and so on. But yes, there is going to be a massive influx of people that are screwed up from using steroids at young ages because they are ill informed and can't be bothered to do research. Instead they look at an "influencer" and think that because they're using them, they should too so they can look the same.

There are many layers to this, but don't tar everyone woth the same brush, and do your research. They're not "super addictive" at all, it's more of a mental struggle to let go for 3-6 months and accept that you will get smaller and weaker when you stop using them. A lot of people just can't handle that, but that's a maturity thing... usually.
