as you get very stern telling off from your body the next morning.
Pain and pleasure in very clear terms of cause and effect.

Just because we have a thousand year tradition of getting pissed dosn't mean it's a good thing.
*Looks conspiratorially about the place*

Seriously though, it really is quite bad for you and If I was the King of the World it WOULD be illegal... nah, rationed. Yeah. Rationed. And you no obey the king, you no get the beer. Or entry into the state-sponsered breeding program. *plots*

because it's been in use since the dawn of civilisation.
And also because there is such a thing as moderate drinking. I never heard of anyone doing just a little bit of heroin with their Sunday dinner, for instance.

It's quite difficult to over-do it on weed, and if you do, you're just a bit sick then go to bed...

you sit awake all night on the edge of your bed, clutching a butcher knife, staring in terror at the wardrobe doors you've tied shut with the washing line, because you're convinced something is coming out of there to get you.

and yet one is more vilified than the other?
I just think if people can't feel the side-effects instantaneously they get paranoid...
or is that the drugs talking? Shit, I need to go lie down.

There is also a shockingly large difference between Heroin (EVIL) and other drugs. One of the biggest mistakes of the anti-drugs strategy in this country is to try and tar, say, cannabis and ecstacy (actually statistically two of the safest recreational drugs around) with the same brush as Crack Cocaine and Heroin (er, pretty fucking nasty).
Im fairly sure this leads to more Heroin and Crack use - after all, if the govornment made out like Pot was seriously bad and it wasnt, then surely they lied about Smack? Er, no.
Seriously, everyone should have to do science to A level BY LAW, especially MPs. How can you run a country with only a vaugest inkling of the scientific method and no idea about the dangers of so called "common sense". Gah.
I SAID STOP IT, BAD ORKRAN

it's had its uses in religious rituals, probably its association with paganism has put it in the bad books.
I don't know about cannabis, but smoking was never that much of a European thing as far as I know, except amongst the social elites who were into the more exotic stuff, so it's associated with decadence.
Booze, on the other hand, is the everyman's chemical escape, even the Bible attributes its invention to Noah, the ancestor of everyone living.

no ill effects whatsoever? Bollocks.
Also, your claims that heroin is simply evil are not necessarily founded. Abuse of it, yes. But that is the same of any drug be it alcohol, weed, crack or Meth.
By the way, have you ever read Sherlock Holmes? or been to the Science Museum? Or The Natural History Museum?

You don't get much more than a big appetite with the old school Lebanese hash and the like ( I'd kill for a good chunk of gold seal right now ) but you just don't see that any more.
Meanwhile everybody is getting off their face with super skink and there are some early studies that suggest there may be a link with mental health problems later in life for heavy abusers but the motives and funding behind many of the studies make their results questionable.
Oh and I've not smoked weed in about 5 years in case you thought I might be a pot-head.
Charlie and E on the other hand....
