   I tried to portray an image of pot as less scary 15 years ago – so it’s great to see some small changes in attitudes.
   I was fortunate to be invited to the first ‘Cannabis Cup’ type Growing event in Japan, it was good to put up videos of girls saying that they love cannabis.

   人間の無知は、果物を飲酒が許可されたアルコール飲料に変えたときに始まります、私はあなたに尋ねます。神は水を創造し、それを飲みました。神は地球を創造し、それを踏みました。植物は神によって創造されたということに同意しますか? 間違いなく、そうです!!!!それでは、オレガノはコショウであり、植物であると言えますか? 誰もがそうだと同意するなら、間違いなく、神はイタリアンパセリと競合するためにマリファナを作成したわけではありません

   Ooo, really good topic👍🏾. I think people who have extremely high levels of stress, depression, and anxiety in their life may benefit from the use of cannabis to help reduce these issues. Example: You leave a long stressful day at work; go home & smoke a blunt, (wow…now you are feeling Snoop Dogg good), you eat and laugh at a totally stupid TV movie; then have a good night’s sleep. Thank you for sharing this interview 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

    I’m all for legalization in any country. But I will say if Japan does legalize it they should do so quietly. With their image of it and their culture I would hate to see it’s use looked down upon further when people start showing up for weed tourism purposes and many start to disrespect the whole country.

    There are many studies that prove Marijuana helps with muscle and bone injuries, but if you use it recreationally every day, it can be a difficult thing to use around people who aren’t comfortable with it. But in general, it’s much less addictive than alcohol and causes less problems socially than other drugs. I smoked weed every day for about 10 years and I stopped for financial reasons, but I’m trying to stop drinking alcohol now and that is much more difficult. Alcohol is much more addictive and destructive than weed. I think a better question is, should we legalize it for medical reasons? Smoking weed for fun is nice but the medical uses are very important.

    In Japan the education system is very good at turning people into "sheeple". Critical thinking or being different is not encouraged at all. Probably no one interviewed in this video even knows that America forced the cannabis control act on Japan in 1948. And then you have NHK, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police, etc. spreading false-info saying cannabis is more dangerous than amphetamines or inhaling paint thinner. They claim you can even die from using cannabis. It is similar to what white people in America were led to believe back in the Reefer Madness days of the 1930s. What is needed is more and more true info being promoted in the Japanese language on social media as well as an apology from America giving the idiot politicians the go-ahead to trash the "taima tori-shimari-ho." Putting young potential baby-makers in prison for up to 7 years obviously will not help the nation’s declining population problem at all. Share and like videos like this one!

    I’m born and raised in California, and we dont use it for ‘medicinal use" haha. But good on some Japanese for not wanting to legalise it. Because as you already see that crime has risen in Thailand from doing so. Along with the ‘Freedom" of weed comes consequences to society. California has become as progressive cesspool over the last 30 Years from this and other major factors. Cali was better when it was illegal and the real weed dealers made more money. Now its become to ‘hip" with trash weed and Tech millionaires getting into the space. Video was fun~

    Some would say an alien from a perfect civilization would describe us as a fallen state of consciousness that can’t see its own extent, weed is, and always was safer than alcohol 🤔🐈🕊️✌️

    I think Japanese have tendencies to overthink, withdraw from society, and make unbelievable complicated recipes etc, do they really NEED it? Also it may attract negative tourism as Amsterdam has found out.

    I have asked a lot of Japanese people this question, but it feels like there is a lot fear mongering going on. "It’s dangerous!" more dangerous than alcohol or smoking cigarettes? "You become crazy person" like people getting drunk?

    It’s a nice topic but it kind of lacks something. I think they should have mentioned some positive/negative effects of cannabis to make them think deeper into it and probably even change their opinion.

    
    
    
32. @Cleosz on March 13, 2024 at 7:19 am

    In the japanese scenario I don’t see many reasons to legalise it (I could be wrong), but I also don’t see why to keep it illegal. It is a completely different reality in my country, Brazil, where the marijuana plays a important role in the black culture even though it is illegal. A portion of the men population in social vulnerability goes to prison just for carrying a few grams. Not to mention the racist war on drugs and police violence that kills people every day in here. That’s why we fight for drugs decreminalization, this is fighting for black rights. Nice video! 💕
