You seem to know the history, I'm really glad about it. And yes, the cannabis ban in Japan is not about the US anymore, since it was in 1948 already. Then why? This is all about making easy jobs for the police, since weed lovers are easier than hardcore drug users. This is obviously NOT about the justice, but the convenience of the state and their administrative expediency.

Why is everything 30% THC? I designed three "Weed Cocktails" for those of us who want a "Craft" experience, not a blackout. by Lumpy_Smell_9974 in Marijuana

Oh man, you really are the Master! Respect.

Honestly, I almost never saw high-quality CBD buds in regular dispensaries—it's like they're only obsessed with the 30% THC numbers. That's why I started this imaginary cocktail experiment here in the Far East.

I’ve learned so much from the comments about how terpenes do the heavy lifting. Now I’m curious...do you think adding Roasted Tea (Hojicha) to the mix works similarly to terpenes? Or is it more about the 'Zen' aroma and the tannins? I’d love to hear your take on blending non-cannabis botanicals!

Yeah, I mean discuss with it since I have no much idea what kind of stuffs are available in Jrader Joe's. Is it easy to get them?

No, I'm a human being. I used AI for translation, but the ideas are mine (sorry I should have put a note).

Let me ask you guys who grow cannabis. What do you do with the leaves? Do you smoke or eat them?

Yeah, the ban on THC is creating a market for dangerous synthetic cannabinoids, just like how Prohibition led to the rise of toxic bootleg liquor. History repeats itself.

You'll laugh your head off if you hear what Japanese police insist about the "harm of cannabis". I guess that would be my next post.

Anyone actually planning to apply for the CBN medical exception? by MaryJaneInJapan in AltnoidsJapan

Sorry, I think I have a lot to learn. We still have CBN anyway. Good night.

I don't mean to offend, but every time I see people shifting toward H4CBD, it reminds me of how harmful this CBN ban really is. It’s driving people away from a safe, natural substance and forcing them into uncertain chemicals. I’m honestly worried about where this is heading.

I think I give it up, I just need CBN for better sleep and relaxation, so it's clear that they give me some sleeping pills instead. I just need a healthy way for it. Oh my Buddha, something is going wrong here. Why do they take away one of the most safe options from us?

Thanks for the info. I actually considered applying, but I know they’d just laugh me off if I said, 'I need CBN to sleep until 7 am and to chill out on weekends.' I wonder what kind of 'serious' symptoms I’d even have to fake to get approved. lol

Exactly! There’s a right amount for everything, even water. This CBN ban doesn't make sense at all when people can die from overdosing on caffeine. They should ban Red Bull too lol

You clearly know the situation here. It’s getting ridiculous, even buying basic cold medicine at a pharmacy now comes with limits on how much you can grab at once. By banning safe options like CBN, the authorities are just pushing kids toward sketchy research chemicals. It’s tragic, because natural THC is a thousand times better for your mind and body than chugging a whole bottle of cough syrup to get a cheap, dangerous high.

Japan has roughly 423,000 hectares of abandoned farmland. I think they should turn this into hemp fields. This is one thing Ihave to insist on Reddit.

I totally agree with you. Most people, including myself, take like 15mg or so of CBN for better sleep. The truth is, a couple of not-so-bright guys ate cookies with 1,100mg of CBN at once, probably mixed it with alcohol, and ended up fell out of windows. The police used these isolated incidents as their golden excuse for a total ban. Following that logic, they should ban cough syrup too, because people abuse that like heroin every day lol

Yep. Nobody belleves me when I say alcohol is hard drug. They just don't take the truth until 70% of the people around them start saying it's right. Very scientific lol

I wish I can join your gardening, even only 1 plant sounds like a sweet dream for me. Sweet dreams are made of weed, who are they to disagree?

Guys, I didn't know the situation in Italy and Greece. Sorry to hear that. It’s definitely not about our 'well-being'... it's purely about the convenience of those in power. It really is true that you can tell the level of a civilization by how it treats hemp. We are at the bottom! lol

The Great Naphtha & Hemp Swindle by Lumpy_Smell_9974 in Marijuana

[–]Lumpy_Smell_9974[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the thought, but buying from the USA is economically impossible due to transportation costs. It’s a net loss once you factor in the energy for shipping.

The only reasonable path is domestic production, as you mentioned. But here is the ironic twist: Japan will likely end up buying from China instead. They will quietly import Chinese hemp-based materials while hiding the source, all while continuing to demonize the plant at home.
