      I actually think it would be detrimental to Japanese demographics.

      They are already having a hard time trying to convince young people to give up their freedom and pop out more babies. Weed would only make them think more clearly, not blindly.

        I know you’re joking but… People say that about cannabis, but there are plenty of right-wing people who love getting high. Doesn’t make them think more clearly.

          I am very, very pro cannabis and I was not joking.

          In my experience, cannabis does make you question authority and being told what to do (to be fair, that might just be how it affects me).

          I’ve been to Japan, there is a huge culture of respect and following authority and just trusting the authority has honour. Psychoactive substances encourage you to think twice instead of trusting authority based on tradition.

          Just my two cents.
