>Police reported that Taniuchi was taken into custody from his Yokohama home at about 10:45 a.m. on Tuesday. He was allegedly concealing a pipe and 1.5 grams (about 0.053 ounces) of marijuana valued at about 9,000 yen (about US$110) in his second-floor living room.
Jesuschrist I'd get a life sentence if I lived in Japan
That was in 2012 though wouldn't he be getting out this year? In any case he's gonna be regarded as an absolute pariah for the rest of his life and no one will bother hiring him
What a shithole country

The prison sentence certainly seems to be quite excessive, and if the industry does blacklist people because of recreational drug crimes that certainly would be unfair and a little reminiscent of how sex scandals that offend otaku's purity demands can cause celebrities to get canceled.
But for many nonwhite or non-imperial-core countries, the societal suspicions of drug abuse and the stigma on profligate recreational drug usage are not very unjustified, due to the legacy of the weaponization of drug usage by Western imperialists. When it is just a little marijuana at upscale campus raves there is not so much of a big deal, but if someone's neighborhood has gotten flooded by cocaine because the glowies had to covertly fund random counterrevolutionaries and consequentially many of the youth have suffered from the deletrious effects of addiction, it doesn't come off so fun. So perhaps there are fair reasons for the strict legislation.
However imprisonment for personal drug usage is quite unwarranted, and rehabilitation or financial penalty should've sufficed if the prohibitions must be kept. The reform of laws should be the issue for themselves to solve, though, and not just copied from more liberal European policies.

>>14164You could experiment some different teas. You could fast for 3 days. There's billion of things to do in the world. Medication is a scam and does more harm than good. You'd be stupid to take aspirin for instance.
Japan is a shithole though. But we are here only discussing the willingness to commit a crime carrying such a sentence, which by all means is just stupid. I don't care if it's not a bad drug. It's a completly inessential part of life easily replaced by other things. It's not worth going to jail for.

Also. Is add medictation not simply a scam? Forcing kids to sit still for hours seems so counter to our natural instincts to hug trees. There's plenty of other methods you can use to increase concentration. Just let kids play soccer all day. Truly problem solved.

>>14196adhd is caused by structural brain differences, it is a actually hypothesized to be an advantage in hunter gatherer societies, it's just hard to function properly in a capitalist one, lifestyle changes and diet and therapy are important but adhd stimulant medication can help a lot of people to function better, myself included. It is kind of a double edges sword though and needs to be used responsibly.

>>14198>t. doesn't realize the likelihood of ever getting caught for drugs is next to none unless you act recklessIn Japan there's a high chance of getting caught because cops have literally nothing to do, so they go against one of the easiest targets in the country: guys who just want to smoke a joint. I remember reading an article about how a special force composed of like 25 detectives went against 4 o 5 adults who smoked in peace in an abandoned building.

What's crazy is Japanese traditionally smoked weed. Cannabis is considered sacred in shintoism and hemp still is used in some shinto rituals. Japan used to grow lots of cannabis. Apparently the general public is so ignorant they dont know cannabis and hemp are same thing. May be one of those cases reactionary policy would be okay to return Japan to it's pre Western imperialist influence.

I'm not bootlicking. Weed simply has way less impact than alcohol, fasting, or a caveat of other experiences. It's not worth the jail time. I wouldn't drink alcohol if it had a prison sentence of 10 years and was a career suicide. The fact you think there's only a small chance of getting caught is because the police in your country doesn't care about these types of offenses (if they even are, otherwise you have no reason to be talking of getting caught, then you'd have no basis). How inept do you have to be to not understand my point? If you want to hallucinate all you have to do is stop eating.
