Lu Bu Karma on Japan’s marijuana ban: “It’s too unfair,” “Lots of talent is going overseas,” “It’s normal overseas.” Rapper Lu Bu Karma updated his x (formerly Twitter) on the 4th. Regarding the ban on marijuana use in Japan, he wrote that it is “too unfair” compared to other countries where it is legal. Lu Bu said, “In other countries, the arts, including music, as well as martial arts and sports, are all commonly performed under the positive influence of marijuana, but in Japan, this is prohibited. ” he began, “That’s just too unfair. It is we, the citizens, who are the ones who lose out when so much talent gives up on Japan and goes overseas. ” He expressed his own opinion. The Cannabis Control Act, enacted in 1948 under the direction of GHQ, prohibits the possession, cultivation, transfer, etc. of cannabis. In December of last year, the House of Councilors passed a revised Cannabis Control Act, which allows the use of cannabis-derived medicines while including a prohibition on its use to prevent abuse. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare’s website explains that with the enforcement of the revised law, “the illegal use of cannabis and other substances will be subject to the prohibitions and penalties (crimes of use) as ’narcotics’ under the Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances Control Act.” In response to Lu Bu’s post, followers responded with comments such as, “It’s the height of stupidity to think that your talents can’t be expressed without relying on the leaf,” and “Marijuana has been legalized in Thailand and the country is in a state of upheaval…but I don’t think marijuana is suitable for Asian people.” On the other hand, there were also voices of agreement, such as, “Even though there is a global trend toward relaxing cannabis regulations, Japan will introduce a new crime of cannabis use and impose stricter penalties from December this year. This shows too little flexibility.” In a post dated September 22nd, Lu Bu caused controversy by tweeting, “It’s gross…” about the pink-painted station building at the Chizu Express Koiyamagata Station in Tottori Prefecture.

Countries and regions that have legalized marijuana have done so for unavoidable reasons, such as “to prevent distribution by criminal organizations” and “legalization makes it easier to control.” In other words, marijuana entered the country through international smuggling routes and before we knew it, it had spread beyond control, becoming so widespread that it could not be regulated. It is a mistake to misinterpret this as “developed countries have taken the lead in legalizing marijuana, but Japan is lagging behind.”
>>6 No, it’s not. If it’s dangerous, the main thing is to crack down on it lol. It’s dangerous, but it’s legal so money doesn’t flow to criminal organizations. There’s no way that’s possible lol. There are states where the decision was made by referendum. If it’s dangerous, there’s no way anyone would support it. The Japanese government is spreading this around too, but it’s a big lie.
Talent is going to leak out overseas. There aren’t that many artists or artists who are famous overseas, so I think it’s fine if it leaks out. I’m sure 80% of Japanese people don’t even know a single Japanese rapper (lol).
Thailand, which lifted the ban in a big way, is overflowing with foreign junkies, so it looks like they’ll have to regulate it again. The recent change in the law means it’s OK in Japan if it’s prescribed as a medicine (is it already?), so that should be enough.
