The Law With Regards To HGH Use

HGH injections are prescribed drugs that are not listed under the
Federal State's Controlled Substances. The US Congress actually
considered listing it along with other steroids, but decided not to.
Even though hgh is legal in all states of the United States, there are
still laws that one must consider. Violation of the laws concerning HGH
include the 21 USC section 333 statement that prohibits the possession
or distribution [of HGH] with the intent to distribute it to anyone for
a reason other than medical. Violators of this will be punished with
imprisonment of 5 years and a $2,050,000 fine or 10 years imprisonment
if the transgressor is a minor.

FDA has declared that doctors
should prescribe HGH supplements to adults only for treating a disease
and/or for an HGH deficiency. Individual states can pass their own law
with regards to HGH use. States like Idaho, Rhode Island, Oregon, and
West Virginia have already made their own law controlling HGH
supplements. In Colorado, HGH is considered an anabolic steroid.
