I'm assuming you mean legal in the sports world in which I would disagree. People would maximize the short term boosting effects to get the wins and disregard long term detriment.

No. I meant legal to purchase and use for everyone. Steroids are still classified as narcotics virtually everywhere and are only dangerous because there is no incentive to make better and safer steroids because of their limited marketability and prescription.

Rockets have been legal for a while, and they’re still quite risky.

When talking about a complex system we don’t fully understand - that is, the human body - the belief that if only we tweaked the incentives of pharmaceutical companies a teeny bit then we’d have side effect free drugs is ludicrous.

Rockets? Red rockets? If you're talking about the same thing I'm talking about, they're not steroids. Red rockets are a cutting drug and are only legal in some countries, Canada not being one of them. Not sure about American legality.
