[h=2]Paper Anabolics[/h]
Simply put, paper anabolic steroids are most commonly sheets of highly absorbent edible rice paper soaked and saturated with the steroid drug of choice. These sheets of rice paper containing the steroid drugs are then printed over with an intersecting square grid, and steroid drug users then cut off the individual squares to ingest the desired quantity of the drug. Paper anabolic steroids are similar to old-fashioned blotter acid LSD from the late 1960's.
For example, a bodybuilding steroid user in the U.S. might order a paper anabolic steroid sheet of dianabol or stanozolol, with 250 to 500 individual squares of 10 mg.+ of the drug contained per square. If the user wanted to take 20 mg of stanozolol, he would simply take scissors or a knife, cut off two squares, and then ingest two squares of a 10 mg. per square stanozolol product currently widely available on the internet.
The user typically places the paper square tabs underneath the tongue for a period of 15 to 20 minutes in order to ehance absorption and bio-availablity of the steroid drug. Other users simply swallow the paper squares whole.
One of the biggest problems steroid drug users in countries where steroids are illegal without a prescription face when buying anabolic steroids over the internet is that shipments of anabolic steroids are frequently intercepted by Customs.
U.S. Customs, for example, has dramatically stepped up its efforts to intercept steroid drugs being smuggled into the U.S. from overseas. Congress, in the light of the continued scandals surrounding steroid use in professional baseball and other sports, has urged the DEA and Customs to more aggressively target anabolic steroids for seizure.
Paper anabolic steroids as they are currently being marketed to bodybuilders in the U.S., Canada, and Australia. The overseas pharmacies re-assure buyers in these countries (where steroids are illegal without a prescription) that their shipment of paper anabolic steroids will get past heightened Customs security and arrive on their doorstep.
The problem for smugglers has been that oral steroids in tablet form have a tendency to make a lot of noise by rattling around in the package in transit. And blister packed anabolic steroids have the same problems with making a lot of noise, and this noise makes it easy for Customs to identify potential problem packages. Pills rattling around is a red flag that almost guarantees that Customs will further investigate the package by opening it.
While injectable steroids in oil or water base don't rattle around like pills do, there is still the problem of bulk size and overall weight of the package when it comes to getting the steroid drugs past Customs.
This is why smugglers have begun heavily marketing and distributing paper anabolic steroids: they are easy to get through Customs.
It is already virtually impossible for Customs to intercept paper anabolic steroids. For example, even if Customs intercepts a package containing a piece of paper with square grids printed on it, it still looks like a harmless piece of paper.
The only way that Customs could determine if the paper had been soaked in steroid drugs would be to lab test the paper.
Is Customs going to lab test millions of pieces of paper a day coming into the U.S. for steroid drugs? No, they aren't because that would shut down the flow of ordinary commerce completely.
Some smugglers are reportedly experimenting with shipping other kinds of paper anabolic steroids to avoid detection. Now, overseas pharmacies don't print any squares on the paper, or take it even further.
The overseas pharmacies simply soak ordinary plain paper in steroid drugs, and then write a personal note like "Hi Jimmy, thanks for visiting..." on that piece of paper. Or the overseas pharmacies soak an ordinary greeting card in steroid drugs to make their own unique paper anabolic steroids product.
There are literally a million ways to smuggle paper anabolic steroids past Customs. It would be impossible to lab test every single piece of paper in the mail going into a given country. For this reason, those overseas pharmacies selling paper anabolic steroids have very little chance of being caught.
