Let's start with: I don't want that weightlifting forum to be in the press under the headline "Internet forum poisons our kids" or to be closed down as an accessory to illegal sales. Which both have already happened to competing forums.
I understand your point about trying to keep your site up, but understand my point that the only perpetrator of a crime in your example is the state, it's mouthpieces, and it's enforcers, and the victim is the forums and freedoms of individuals. I'll pass no judgment against anyone that wishes to abide by the status quo, but will use the opportunity when the situation warrants to state my opinion. I do not recommend anyone indulge in illegal acts in an open forum, but we can use these forums to discuss the injustice of illegal laws.
I see your point and concur. Personally I find the whole anti-doping-agenda an exercise in futility, lobbyism and retardedness. Decriminalizing access to and use of steroids would vastly improve the quality of available product and empower users to receive advice from their physician, both of which would drastically lower adverse side effects.
