      @@granddaddyofthemall6320 for the benefit of people that read your guano, steroids can absolutely be harmful. They absolutely help build muscle, but to think everyone that takes them will have no side effects is absolutely ridiculous. Some can take large amounts and deal with the side effects. Others can take relatively small amounts and possibly have life changing side effects. If you do, you just don't go to the local doctor and get fixed either. Yeah, if taken responsibly, most will tolerate roids...but not all
