Is Testogel a controlled drug? Answer requested fast please.

[Somewhatfoolish]

Testogel contains as its active ingredient 10mg of testosterone. Testosterone can be considered an anablolic sterioid aiui. Is testogel a controlled drug?

You will probably get a quicker answer in health matters

Anabolic steroids (which testosterone is) are Prescription Only drugs under the Medicines Act. They can only be sold by a pharmacist on the presentation of a doctor's prescription. Anabolic steroids are also class C drugs under the Misuse of Drugs Act. It is not an offence to possess anabolic steroids for personal use as long as they are in a medicinal form and are not counterfeit. It is an offence to supply them.

Cat above is correct, although in answer to your question it is a controlled drug, albeit a schedule 4 part 2 agent which means it is not subject to the same prescribing and storage regulations that other controlled drugs are.

[sodslaw]

Yes it is controlled.

But, you're not going to get smack bum if you use it.. However you will do if you sell it.

Thanks all.

Reason I ask is that tomorrow (well today now) I plan to bring in some of my own legitimately prescribed testogel to court. The reason I will bring it in is because I may be being sent to prison for buying Class A and B substances online for personal use (depends on the sentence I get). Indeed if you do not hear from me in the next month you can assume I am in prison.

Therefore I will be bringing in a dose because if sent to HMP Jurby I'm gonna need it, and better to have it around. I ask here because I wanted to know how much I should declare it.

Let me strongly recommend that anyone domiciled on the isle of man not consider buying drugs online. Otherwise my fate will be yours.

Gulliblemoron was taken

then I tried Soovy, to express how I loved to pretend to understand legal issues but was basically a blowhard, and that didn't work.

But that was taken too. So I went for this

I'm astonished at this, what class A & B did you buy online?

Cheers

[VolvoT5]

surely if it is prescribed by a doctor to treat a medical condition it shouldn't matter whether or not it is a controlled drug? I would have thought even prisoners are entitled to medical care....

[covboy]

Do they still have the Birch on the IOM ?

[sodslaw]

Buying class A/B online - I'm surprised you mess about with testogel.. I'd be injecting test-e straight into my glutes.

Opium and cannabis, from silk road (as well as dihydrocodeine from airmail chemist). Some of the cannabis was actually the strongest hash ever seen by the drugs lab, so while I definitely don't recommend doing this on the Isle of Man, you should totally go for it in the UK.

Oh and I got ten months, suspended for two years. And a £1000 fine, £125 in costs, near as damn it £5000 in legal fees, and £3500 lost from the dawn raid due to work being affected when they seized all my computers for a bit to analyse to check if I were a drug dealer... Fortunately they didn't notice all my driving videos...

The testogel is for legit medical reasons.

Have you got the idea that the rules shouldn't really apply to you?

Now that you've figured out it's illegal on the Isle on Man, what do you think the view is in the UK?

I can't work out if this thread is either a wind-up or if I'm in some sort of bizarre alternate reality.

Out of interest, do you feel it was fair/unfair/etc?

Genuinely curious - aside from 10PS there haven't been many people who have come back on the forum to share their thoughts after a court case.

FYI for when you do get a custodial sentence; having some prescribed medication in possession when you arrive in prison means nowt, they'll bin it and you'll have to be prescribed it by the prison doctor.

I don't think the rules should apply to anybody. I don't claim a special privilege for myself. I certainly won't be breaking the drugs law on the Isle of Man again but that's because it would be a stupid thing to do, not because it is morally wrong.
