Japan started criminalizing the use of cannabis and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a psychoactive chemical found in the plant, as revised laws took effect Thursday amid growing concerns over drug abuse by young people.

While the possession, transfer and cultivation of cannabis and THC were already banned in Japan, the new laws will designate them as narcotics and prohibit their use as well, setting a prison sentence of up to seven years for violation.

The revised laws also legalize medical products using substances derived from cannabis that have been proven effective and safe.

In 2023, a record 6,703 people were investigated in criminal cases involving cannabis in Japan, surpassing the number of methamphetamine cases for the first time, the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry said. Seventy percent of cases involved those under the age of 30.

A nationwide survey conducted the same year by a research group of the ministry estimated that some 200,000 people had used marijuana in the past year.

Japan previously did not penalize cannabis use, possibly taking into consideration farmers who may accidentally absorb the drug while growing cannabis plants for use in hemp products.

The changes will also remove a ban on the use of medicines derived from cannabis, controlling them under a licensing system similar to other drugs used for pain relief and other purposes.

Drugs made from cannabis plants were only permitted in clinical trials in Japan, but patient groups have been calling for access to cannabis-derived cannabidiol medicines already approved in Europe and the United States for conditions such as severe epilepsy.

The previous cannabis law will be renamed and focus specifically on regulations concerning cultivation.

Breh...I had to think and plead the fifth on that comment.

You can buy schoolgirl panties out of a vending machine and watch tentacle rape cartoons but you can't smoke a joint.

Ass backwards weird ass country full of pillow fukkers.

"Can" is doing a lot of lifting here. There's no reason to believe weed would help with their birthrate. I'd bet they'd feel differently about it if it would.

I'm okay with different countries having/banning different drugs.

Moving backwards.

This is why the country is dying and the young population see leaving for foreign nations.

I always see people drinking outside of a Lawson or 7/11 thinking…

Who drinks outside of a minimart?

Japanese. Overworked and just need some time before going to their apartment alone.

Places like Japan and Korea don’t really match with weed culture frfr. If weed was a super stimulant that helps you focus and get work done that shyt woulda been legal.

The right micro dose of shrooms does that. Could be a thing if they thought about it
