Home Brew: Illegal Steroids - Mark Allen Johnson/ZUMA Press

Home Brewing is the newest rage in steroid production and supply for professional athletes and bodybuilders alike both in the United States and abroad. The lucrative business is attracting amateurs, who transform their kitchens into home-based labs capable of producing large amounts of illegal Anabolic and Androgenic (injectable and oral) steroids. Using instructions taken straight off the Internet, the "chemists" are guided step-by-step on everything from how to handle the raw materials to proper cooking techniques that ensure a stable and sterile product. Johnson's sources claim that an initial purchase of $1,200 in raw materials can produce up to $20,000 of completed product in only one afternoon! Click to here view Home Brew: Illegal Steroids.
