[Sir Kenyth]

Drug use for euphoria is generally bad. It's obvious that too many are unable to control their habits. If you're talking about drugs that should be made available as treatments, the only drugs I think that should be considered are anabolic steroids. Only under a competent doctors supervision with a presciption for people who are not involved in competetive sports. They have benefits when used correctly and are not abused. Newer time released injectables would help physicians control the treatment. Most of the steroid horror stories you hear are from SEVERE overdosing for many years. Properly controlled therapy provides proven benefits for people who are underweight/overweight, people with wasting diseases or eating disorders, depression and/or chronic tiredness, sexual dysfunction in some cases, etc. Side effects are almost non-existent in theraputic doses. There are also numerous other drugs that were classified as steroids even though they weren't simply because they were found being used with steroid abusers. Some of these drugs also have theraputic effects on certain hormonal imbalaces and their symptoms. One of the drugs made illegal is actually an effective bronchiodialator that has no anabolic effects at all. It was simply used as a stimulant much like ephedrine is now. Ignorance ruled at the time these drugs were made illegal and things were handled rashly because the professional sports arena and olympics were being skewed. Time was of the essence in passing legislation to pacify everyone. Testosterone suppliments are slowly being introduced as legal pharmecuticals in the form of the patch. These seem to be only prescribed as a last resort if the natural testosterone level is considered abnormally low. Perhaps these drugs should be a little less stringently controlled and their use broadened.
