Where can I Buy Steroids??

Why?

• Others buy out of necessity. They may have HIV/AID's or some other deadly, muscle decreasing disease.

MY PERSONAL OPINION
I believe, it all really depends on the circumstances. Such as, when the USA goes to the Olympics and almost every other country is using steroids and other enhancements. It wouldn't be fair if they use hormones and chemicals to better themselves, yet we can't. Another circumstance that I'm 100% all for using steroids for are for those that are suffering from HIV/AID's. People with HIV/AID's that use steroids can build up the much-needed muscles that they are losing due to their disease. It all just really depends on the circumstances!
