What's interesting about people who are willing to do anything to get ahead is they usually end up burning out like a flame that burned up too fast.

I used to work out pretty heavily for years. Putting on real muscle in the gym is hard work and strength and muscle takes years to build up. There was always people that wanted the easy way or "an edge" there. In the professional world, where you would think people are smarter, you see the same mentality. Most of the people that used steroids on the gym ended up destroying the chemical make up of their bodies. They never produced the same amount of testosterone on their own anymore, there were all kinds of other side effects. Some had such terrible chemical imbalances they were never the same person anymore. I don't think this sort of thing is any different, these people are lying to themselves if they believe these things won't have any lasting effects.

The kind of career you build all natural will last, just like the real muscle would in the gym. The muscle out on with roids would disappear soon after the roids are gone plus the side effects. The same will happen here believe me. Anyway, just my two cents.

LSD is one of the safest drugs around, in terms of health effects, at recreational doses (let alone at microdoses).

Unless there are some mystery side effects I'm not aware of, I'm not sure how your analogy makes any sense.

A single dose of LSD may be able to permanently change your personality [1], which is, as the abstract points out, essentially unheard of. This is perhaps one of the most psychoactive chemicals known to humankind, which certainly has long-lasting effects.

That would be the mystery side effect you aren't aware of.

Even without steroids your body loses a lot of mass after you stop lifting heavy weights.
