“I can`t believe I can get so high in Japan, and I don`t break the law,” the 24-year-old man in Tokyo said of smoking THC-O, a hemp derivative that contains a chemical similar to the weed`s highly inducing substance. He requested the use of a pseudonym because he was concerned about the legal implications of using the unregulated substance. The Japan Times reported in 2021 that “the political momentum for the legalization of cannabis” in Japan “is essentially non-existent.” [42] While several developed countries have taken steps in recent decades to relax cannabis laws, Japan has maintained and tightened laws prohibiting the use, possession and cultivation of cannabis. [21] The Cannabis Control Act was upheld in a challenge by Japan`s Supreme Court in 1985, while the Japan Center for Drug Prevention (an organization under the supervision of the Ministry of Health and the National Police Department) pursues a directive that cannabis is harmful to the immune and respiratory systems and can cause manic depression. [14] Done. A rat in a cage with nothing but two bottles to drink. One contained water and sugar. The other sugar cane and water. The rat drink formed only the laced soil with kokanin and died. Drugs Kills was the result of the experiment.
Another test carried out by a group of scientists from Portugal. Makes a cage with an amusement park, cheese and a partner. In addition, they provided the same two bottles (one tip with sugar cane and the other only water). both rats rarely use the Kocana vial and both live for the duration of the test. They submitted this evidence to the Portuguese Government with a suggestion. The most supported proposal was the full legalization of drugs in all areas. At that time, Portugal had a 1% share of the population dependent on heroin alone. So the government legalized all drugs.
After 12 months, drug use decreased by 50%, crime by 50%. Employment is increasing. Portugal has been able to free itself from its debt in euros and is one of the most preforming countries in Europe Under the Cannabis Control Act (promulgated in 1948), possession of cannabis is punishable by up to five years in prison, while growing, importing and exporting cannabis can be punished with 10 years in prison. While many countries around the world have legalized or decriminalized cannabis or relaxed law enforcement in recent years, there has been a sharp increase in cannabis-related arrests in Japan in 2018 – and 80% of them were possession charges. CBD, which is legal in Japan, has been sold in the country since 2013 and is expected to become an $800 million industry by 2024. [21] CBD-infused products such as edible fruit oils, beverages and gummies are available in specialty stores and major retailers. [21] [41] Many Japanese CBD manufacturers deliberately move their products away from marijuana, for example by avoiding packaging with marijuana leaf patterns. The New York Times reported in 2021 that while Japanese authorities “haven`t really encouraged the CBD industry, they largely consider it benign.” [21] Big Pharma, Big Alcohol and Big Tobacco want to stop legalization. They see this as a threat to their respective oligarchies. Tolerance to smoking [1 = very illegal 5 = practically legal]: 1 Perhaps Japanese alcohol and jidaiokurs are actually a blessing in disguise. This whole matter of pot legalization in Japan is not a problem. Just another excuse for some to be wasted.
This also applies to prescription drugs, which may be legal in the person`s home country. In 2019, an Oregon woman was arrested in Japan on suspicion of amphetamine smuggling after she shipped her prescribed Adderall from South Korea to Japan, where she was to take a job as an English teacher. If all the proponents of legalization are serious, you should be interested in stimulants, not weed. Stimulants are the real problem drug in Japan, and yet they are still not what they are in the West. Stigma is a major issue facing cannabis fans, patients and all those who support legalization in Japan. The Tokyo Marijuana March has been held since 2001, although it is a much smaller and smoke-free event than its counterparts in many other countries. Organizers described that participants were more likely to have lived abroad, where the laws are more permissive. No reason to legalize something that is not a problem. There are always a few people who want to go to the limits, no matter how or what is legal. I can`t do without it for a long time now, because we don`t have a practical replacement.
As I am legally allowed to grow from my condition, I decide not to do so due to family concerns. I buy from legal breeders who pay taxes. The newly discovered popularity of CBD in Japan and the approval of clinical trials for cannabis-derived drugs give legalization advocates some optimism about what the coming years could mean for cannabis law reform in Japan. In addition, the fact that such a disproportionate percentage of those arrested for cannabis possession are young people could mean that differences in generational attitudes could bode well for reform in the future. What many people may not know is that it was the Americans who made cannabis illegal in Japan during the occupation. As long as it`s illegal in the United States, it will be illegal here. Japan wants to be seen as acting in the war on drugs against the United States. Marijuana was not illegal in Japan until McArthur became king of Japan. He illegalized it because his men were so enthusiastic about it.
Just like in Korea and Vietnam afterwards. Men at war, if they do not want to rape and loot, must find another escape. I prefer Japan to remain unarmed, without pots and without all the other drugs that Westerners take. McArthur was good for Japan, which made it all illegal. Industrial hemp is legal under Japanese law, although its cultivation is strictly regulated (see Modern Use below). Mafia gangs thrive around the world thanks to prohibition, which results in the deaths of tens of thousands of people. Drug use is a by-product of life in modern society and the almost universal human need for some kind of intoxication to carry the burden of existence. Only legalization, combined with enlightened social policies and medical treatment for drug addicts, can eradicate cartels and bring society to its senses.
Socially, it is much safer than alcohol. The problem is that governments can`t tax it, which is pretty much the only reason it`s illegal.
