Cannabis In Japan

Hey Ry,

remember you posted about that teacher getting fired for smoking weed so I though you might be interested in this one:

Again it is wrong to conflate hemp uses with marijuana. They are two separate arguments.

Yep it's wrong to conflate the two . Clearly that's been pushed forward by those with an agenda. Hemp is a wonderfully useful plant.

Not that it should matter much because marijuana can do very little harm and has some genuine benfits outwith recreational use. it's sad that so much is wasted on keeping it illegal. People's perceptions and knowledge of it is often completely wrong and its why drug laws continue.

However, I have genuine belief that it could be increasingly decriminalised or legalised throughout the west. Attitudes are changing. One day it won't be so politically advantageous to be anti drugs (or anti-hemp!) as demographics change.

I know I just feel like it would be more productive and realistic to push for industrial hemp first and solo without bringing up Marijuana. The MJ stigma has been holding back hemp.
