Why do people use steroids even though they know the harsh consequences?

Because there are a lot of idiots in this world.

because like most lazy people they dont want to work hard and honest for results. they want to cut corners and do it fast and easy.

Why does anyone use anything. They won't listen, they have to learn the hard way...

I could explain that people use steroid to pass the level that not humanly possible, naturally, for everyone there is difference reason for steroid use, for some it is an illness a mental disorder, of always thinking there muscles are to small (megarexia). In this game there is no consideration for the consequences, there is only, getting results; that is to not say we do not know what the side effects to steroids are, yet to be honest there is some that run into steroid use, blindly and do more harm to themselves than good, it these people you see more in media to fuel your distrust or negative view on steroids. Yet some of us body builders spend numerous hours, days and weeks, months, year after year educating ourselves on our body and steroid compounds, hormones and there function. The notion of hash consequences is an weak argument, for a number of reasons, the best one is there NO factual proof of these hash consequences, the media paints it's own picture, most follow

I am asuming you are meaning anabolic steroids to build muscle quicker...and not steroids that are used in the medical field all the time...

Some people want quick fast and effective results. Most people will look down on this, and I by no means agree with it, but how many of us have done things that could very well harm us just because we were lazy.

Sometimes people speed because it is quicker...thats dangerous..very life threatening.....some people cheat on tests....that can be damaging all throughout your life, never really learning and then failing miserably when you get into the real world.

My point is that it is human nature to be stupid and lazy...than to be smart and hard working....or at least thats the way it seems

harsh consequences? Such as?

Is it not about freedom of choice? whose body is it? we dont seem to have a problem with people smoking, that kill billions of people world wide, year after year.

Nor do we have a problem with 18 year old young women, climbing on a table to have breast implants and what ever else she wants, yet is that not cheating? NO / YES????

Then how is it wrong for me to manipulate my hormones to work in my favour, is that not what scientist do when cloning sheep or body parts.

We should be allowed the freedom of choice, we are adults not children.
