This post is full of my own opinions and anecdotal observations, your own may differ.
The magical picture show is just... this reality TV show that we're stuck in. Red vs. Blue is full of sound and fury signifying much and meaning nothing, because all 3 branches of government grow out of the same tree: the CIA, which, in conjunction with a private co called the Federal Reserve prints all the Monopoly money which keeps the Ponzi scheme chugging along.
I mean, who's writing the content of the teleprompter for our Weekend at Bernie's presidency?
What is the highest level of organized crime? Government. What is the USA? We've drifted a bit from the original republic, currently we're the largest terrorist nation on Earth, our main export is violence and war, which is extremely profitable.
I’m not sure many big government organizations are left that aren’t anti whatever they were originally funded to do.
If they want a civil war, try taking away testosterone and guns from guys addicted to both. See how that ends.
The interesting part of this puzzle is, yes, of course the government prefers low testosterone sheeple... but having said that, if you're a 20 year old male, your 300 testosterone level is the new "normal" and best of luck finding a regular clinician to write you a script for test.
But... rearrange the optics a bit. "Hi! I'm a 14 year old girl who was feeling a little confused and depressed today, so I saw my counselor at school, and I realize that I'm trans! Write me a script for a bunch of test!" Okay... no problem.
The whole 27 genders and infinite personal pronouns collective is currently firmly wedged into the heart of the zeitgeist/current narrative, which makes it a bit difficult to ban hormones, because you can't have the 27 different genders without a lot of molecular and surgical assistance.
I think companies like Pfizer is in bed with the gov, esp the Democrats who then control the FBI, DOJ etc etc. Pfizer wants compounded testosterone gone so they then dominate the market with testosterone depot
Well, Pfizer seems to have become the state. I mean, who needs clinical trials, let's dose the planet with whatever s--t we drop kick out there!
A great example in recent history (outside of Covid) can be seen in the documentary The Crime of the Century:

And, the book and series on Hulu, Dopesick:

About that "war on drugs" ... Approx cost to provide pain relief medication morphine to everyone in the world who needs it for palliative care, addiction, or recreational use: $145 million per annum.
Approx cost of enforcing global prohibition: $100 billion per annum (UN estimate).
Three quarters of the world’s population lack adequate access to opioid pain relief.

Hmmm...
Whether under Dems or Republicans, the FDA, for decades, has been, IMO, in the pocket of Big Pharma. It took them 20 years to approve Glucophage(metformin). Lithium, 10 years, I believe. Nebido has been used throughout Europe for a couple of decades? Though the FDA greenlighted it, doctors have to keep records if they're prescribing. AIDS patients had to fight the FDA to get EUA to use drugs that weren't yet approved. Yet, for whatever reasons, the FDA is slowly advancing authorization for the the use of psychedelics in the treatment of PTSD and perhaps other mental illnesses. I have treatment resistant bipolar. I hope it comes sooner and faster.
But the bottom line is that the FDA isn't on our side. Objective science seems to take a back seat to pharma lobbyists who make big contributions to both parties to influence they're votes.
Just... being objective. It's not possible to make a blanket statement, such as "the FDA is good" or "the FDA is bad." The FDA is a gargantuan dinosaur sinking in a tarpit which is made up of so many different sub-divisions and agencies within itself, that its a bit mind-boggling. It has regulatory power over roughly .27 cents out of every dollar spent in the US.
For instance, the Pilot Drug Evaluation Unit, used to have its lips super-glued to the DEA's ass, which is how everything got lumped into schedule 1, including molecules that absolutely do not belong there. The entire unit was rebooted, everybody was let go, and they had a reset in the 1990s, which is how we've arrived at clinical trials with psychedelic drugs.
Does the FDA care about human beings? Not that I can tell.
Is the FDA corrupt? Absolutely, take a look at what's happened to vaping. In the UK the Royal College of Physicians release a position paper that at worst vaping represents a 95% reduction of harm over combustible tobacco. Meanwhile, the US and FDA are busy pumping out junk science saying the exact opposite. Why? Because an entire generation of kids grew up, saw the sexy Juul ads, realized vaping was cool, cigarettes was that thing your parents or grandparents did, and this caused a huge problem with... tobacco bonds and their value going down the toilet. For the first time in history smoking rates were way down. So, the FDA has fixed that problem, and individual states have added even higher levels of extortion money -- I meant to say sin taxes -- on top of what was a relatively inexpensive, harm reduction alternative to smoking.
Somewhere, within the FDA, are there human being who actually care about what they're supposed to be doing in theory? I absolutely believe that YES, at least I certainly hope so. But, I'm not too optimistic.
At the end of the day, every molecule you want, will remain available. GMP quality will suffer, patients will suffer due to quality control issues and prices increasing, but life goes on.
As Nelson mentioned, deca, anavar, etc, aren't on that "Difficult to Compound" list.
In closing... why is HGH schedule 3 and on the AAS list? It's not even an anabolic steroid. Answer: because Big Pharma lobbied to get it there and price fix it. Total cost of 72IU of Humatrope in Turkey? $165 USD. Now go look that up in the US, you're looking at over $5K for the same thing.
Excuse me, I was just clearing my throat and all that came out. I'll shut up now and wish everybody a happy weekend.
