An estimated half a million men in the UK are addicted to steroids. In fact, the class C drug is the second most used drug after Cannabis. But steroids come with some pretty alarming side effects – from liver and kidney failure as well as mood swings and increased oestrogen which results in men needing breast reduction surgery. In this episode of High Society, we dive into the UK’s steroid epidemic – from the dealers selling it, to the young men getting hooked on it. How dangerous are steroids?

thank you for making this. Very informative for young people thinking about starting on this path.
I look better than the second guy and I’m natty
These dudes taking steroids to look like an average lifter😂
I'll stick to crack thanks
Pathetic men. Its no coincidence that facially most of them look so similar. Poor upbringing and environmental surroundings teach people to pursue external pleasure. Steroids defeat the purpose of working out for me, in that I want to see what I am capable of, not what a modified version of me is capable of. As humans, it displays an embarrassing level of ego to ignore all our natural shortcomings and attempt to compensate with artificial "solutions".
I might just be able to workout where he’s from 😂
8:51 , ma boy😂😂😂😂
Props to the ethical drug dealer
it's crazy, they don't even look like a lift and they take such high doses
Steroids are great I love them. You can do it safely you just have to do research and study it. These shows like this are dishonest because they act like it’s horrible. Testosterone is already in your body lol you’re just taking a little more of it. Lol
Should inject TRT sub Q and not in the muscle…youll get better more even levels of Test in your system and you utilize it better as well
Stay away from Trenbolone! It’s the best but also the WORST!!! 💀
stay natural bros
That surgery 🤢
17:42 – He does't know…
Making drugs in a kichen is not safer than in a more dirty environment! The dealer does not make that in sanitary way, even tho he speaks like he does. I work in lab, and that is not how you want to make sometinh you are going to inject to your self.
It’s hard. Especially in the world of bodybuilding , even bikini athletes.
Lol this is ridiculous
Tons of women are also friends with Miss Ana Var female steroids usage is rampant I know cuz I used to cycle anavar and people don’t usually clock it because they only know what viralized women look and sound like. Most fitness influencer women are very much on steroids too
Respect for the honestly mind.
BRO,
All these people saying "learn the risks" "go on your own journey"
WTFFF???
JUST STAY AWAY FROM IT PERIOD
Not worth it no matter what. You can always achieve great results naturally
