I find it very upsetting that you can just point a finger and do whatever you want. I dont do any illicet drugs or buy from black market sources. However, I do enjoy taking dietary supplements . When you can go to any store and buy alcohol and destroy your body, life and those around you it makes banning these supplements seem kind of silly. Basically you are forcing people like me who dont want to break any laws want to go to black market sources and buy things that are not regulated or safe. Why is it that women can buy hormonal products all day long which allows them to have sex unresponsibly but yet , a guy like me who is older cant help his body be healthy. Dont use teenagers as an excuse to help your ban. just regulate it and I.D. them. I shouldnt have my freedoms taken away because some people are ignorant and irresponsible with how they use certain products. Kids are getting high on nutmeg for gods sake and you can overdose on it and die. ...just saying. please consider the freedoms we the people love and hold dear before waving your big magic wand .Warmest Regards, A concerned Taxpayer I support the Drug Enforcement Administrations proposed rule that would classify two steroids, rostanozol and methasterone, as anabolic steroids under Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).  If these two drugs became classified as Schedule III controlled substances they would be added to the list of anabolic steroids that must have regulated provisions of control according to the CSA. Tests have been done to show that these two drugs fit the four criteria that classifies a steroid as an anabolic steroid as defined by the Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004.  Adding rostanozol and methasterone to this list would make these drugs illegal to use or possess for anyone who is not following the regulation provisions of the Controlled Substance Act.  This could prevent the use, sell, and trafficking of these drugs to people who are not using them correctly and do not really need them.  Anabolic steroids are very dangerous when not used correctly.  They cause both physical and emotional problems, such as severe mood swings.  They are also very addictive and if anything can be done to keep these drugs out of the hands of people who will be negatively affected by them, it should be done.  This regulation would provide that help.  Therefore, I support this rule.  The classification of these two substances as Schedule III Anabolic Steroids Under the Controlled Substances Act should be a no brainer. No opposition should be in place or have any merit. The damage these two types of steroids can ,and have done while not under proper supervision is great. One person has already lost their live and I hope we dont lose anymore. The longtime affects of misusing steroids is clearly known, but with no harsh penalties in place people will continue to abuse them. The immediate removal of all supplements containing  these two drugs should become top priority once the law allows. I look forward to reading in the future about how this proposed rule has been passed.
