Canadian Steroid Laws

[bigben]

Yup, steroids are definitely illegal to buy, sell, or try to buy.

We're just lucky that most cops see it as a less offence than possessing marijuana and won't drag you through the muds like the U.S. Feds.

I don't see where it says they are illegal to buy.


Copying from the Act:

(2) No person shall seek or obtain

(a) a substance included in Schedule I, II, III or IV, or

(b) an authorization to obtain a substance included in Schedule I, II, III or IV

from a practitioner, unless the person discloses to the practitioner particulars relating to the acquisition by the person of every substance in those Schedules, and of every authorization to obtain such substances, from any other practitioner within the preceding thirty days.


The section refers to acquiring from a "practitioner". Defined as: "practitioner" means a person who is registered and entitled under the laws of a province to practise in that province the profession of medicine, dentistry or veterinary medicine, and includes any other person or class of persons prescribed as a practitioner;

So I don't see an offence for buying in and of itself, unless its from a Doctor or Vet and you fail to disclose prior authorizations within the past 30 days.
