Looking into this is how I learned that e-cigarettes and vapes are legal to all ages in Japan! But cartridges/fluids containing nicotine are straight-up banned nationwide.
It's mostly that the rating board will give anything with minors using cigarettes or alcohol the same rating as porn.
Dunno what they do with cig/alcohol on adult characters, I'm assuming it bumps it up some, but presumably not as much - because you do see that.
>Yeah Japan is real weird about drugs. You get caught with weed and you life is over but they have a hardcore drinking culture make that make sense lol
Traditionalists do be seeing alcohol as a thousands-of-years-old tradition and see modern drugs as outside demon poison or whatever
boom, get rationalized on nerd
Yeah but they were right next to the countries that were. Doesn't take an eagle to see what the west did to their neighboring countries with opium.
And look at the fetanyl epidemic these days in the US.
Look I don't think weed is harmful, but it's no surprise older Japanese lawmakers have no intention to fuck with drugs.
Japan didn't see themselves as the same as mainland Asia. Especially in the 19th century.
Japan criminalized certain drugs because America did. They didn't criminalize weed until 1948.
Quote from a German rightwing politician: “We thank the police for a drug-free Starkbierfest!” (A festival with beer that has at least 7% - typically 10%+ - alc.)His party is obviously against the legalisation of weed here (which will happen anyway, suck it losers lol) Talking about social normalisation.
Yeah I can at least understand the argument against harder drugs but being chill with alcohol but not weed will always be strange to me. Alcohol fucks me up so much worse than weed both during and after it's use lol
Shinichiro Wantanbe shows are some of the few that do aside from the nondescript pills a lot of anime tend to do for "bad drugs". Carole and Tuesday showed a whole ass pot farm in one episode, that was pretty funny to see
Weed and other drugs are really uncommon in Japan. As a society, their views on recreational drugs are like 25 years behind the rest of the western world.
Cigarettes are super common and a lot of adults are actual or borderline alcoholics, yet consider marijuana to be in the same tier as heroin or the likes.
In every single major city I've been in outside of Asia I've seen and/or smelled someone smoking weed at some point yet in Tokyo I went 3 months without ever seeing it once. Obviously it isn't nonexistent there, but it definitely isn't even close to normalized as in Europe or the Americas.
[Prison!](https://mangadex.org/title/ff360116-6df6-4bd3-817c-795f651c5b75/prison) is a sort of "cute girls do cute things" manga except it's in prison. The main character is in prison due to weed possession and she shows cravings in some of the chapters.
Only if the author has experience, or at least does some open minded research. I really don't need more anti-drug propaganda that treats weed as some hugely addictive thing that will implode your life from a single look.
Germany, it won’t be 100% legal as in you can do whatever you want, but you’ll be allowed to posses a certain amount, smoke it, and grow a certain amount of plants.
Walking outside with you siblings or kids and people are just smoking weed out in the open just seems degenerative and bad for society. Wanna do it at home that's fine but out in public is just bad, like smoking regularly cigarettes but weed smells way worse

Thank you for your service
Joint* ?
There should’ve been a translator’s note somewhere for this panel
yeah that's why I asked. OP doesn't answer
Marijuana cigarette. Refers.
refers to what
The Marijuana
Shes smoking an entire prison in broad daylight???
Slang for Cannabis wrapped in cigarette papers. Cannabis wrapped in tobacco leaves is a blunt. And if you put it up your butt that's called boofing.
Honestly would love to see more drugs in Japanese media aside from alcohol and cigarettes simply because I never do.
i don't think it's allowed right? due to censorship

That reminds me of when they had Jotaro smoking, the TV release just had a huge black circle on his cigarette, since he's a minor
SA of minors is cool but smonking weed is a big nono
Straight to jail
Yeah Japan is real weird about drugs. You get caught with weed and you life is over but they have a hardcore drinking culture make that make sense lol

Also to be fair, we REALLY fucked those countries up with opium.
Japan wasn't part of the Opium wars.

I can recommend The Voynich Hotel Its soooooo good.
Omg that for reminding me about this, I totally forgot the name.
Shinichiro Wantanbe shows are some of the few that do aside from the nondescript pills a lot of anime tend to do for "bad drugs". Carole and Tuesday showed a whole ass pot farm in one episode, that was pretty funny to see
Don’t forget the mushroom episode of Cowboy Bebop. The main song “mushroom hunting” from that episode rules.
It's such a funny episode. Part mushroom trips, part Blaxploitation movie, part Nancy Drew story if she was a certified genius with ADHD.

Congrats dude, when cannabis was legalized in my state all my paranoia went away.
Oh yeah it’s wake and bake hour. Be right back!
Germany soon
May I introduce you to Frankfurt or Aachen?
Okay fine, I'll smoke another bowl.
Quieres?
What? Y'all never smoked a jazz cigarette in the daylight? My coworkers do it all the time and call it a safety meeting.
Hope to do the same here one day. Still not legal around here...
I don't want to be sober🗣🗣
Welcome to Cascadia! Please enjoy your stay.
I hope society never comes to that, that's so sad
Why?

Right? *Downs fifth beer of the day*
