I've always been curious.
Why do the Japanese have such an extremely negative view of drug use?
It seems like something which is deeply ingrained in their culture, but they wouldn't have had things like marijuana in their country until after World War 2, would they?

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 17 01:33:33 2009 No.3560447 It's like alcohol isn't considered a drug!

>>	Ahikafag !z6QVN8kheU Sat Oct 17 01:33:33 2009 No.3560448 In a broader sense the Japanese don't seem to mind drug use too much, what with all the drinking.

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 17 01:33:33 2009 No.3560449 >>3560443 Not particularly, just surprised that it's such a severe "YOU BRING SHAME TO OUR COUNTY" offense.

>>	CINERIA !DoLLFaGERs Sat Oct 17 01:37:33 2009 No.3560460 >>3560454 There was a pro-drug piece on medicinal marijuana here a few weeks back, can't remember the program, but it was sort of interesting. Think it was on either the ABC or SBS too, which was nice.

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 17 01:37:33 2009 No.3560461 >>3560454 Not that rarely. Even news sometimes spins attempts to get it legalized as good. Marijuana I mean >>3560448 Hadn't thought of that, but you bring up a point.

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 17 01:38:33 2009 No.3560464 they censor their porn. do you really think they're going to openly embrace drugs?

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 17 01:43:33 2009 No.3560483 >>3560464 But they lifted that band. Although, when you consider the fact that companies still censor their material ANYWAYS out of cultural courtesy, I suppose that only furthers your point
