How Much Do Japanese Know About Weed?

- Cannabis ownership is illegal in Japan, whether for medical or recreational use, with penalties that might end up in five years in prison. Given Japan's strict cannabis laws, do the Japanese even know much about it? Would they even be able to identify the plant based on a photo? We hit the streets of Tokyo to find out.

No. If you can speak (and know) Japanese, you can definitely tell it wasn’t her.
@@SaschaEderernah she looked at the camera like she knew she lying
@@man.itz.ashton When she recalls it, you can see her eyes pointing up several times - she’s trying to come up with a mental image. She’d only do it this way if she didn’t know how it is.
The look into the camera isn’t telling of anything - any mental association can incite that. She doesn’t even look insecure when she does it.
@@SaschaEderer if you’re claiming her looking up is her thinking and imagining then i have ever right to claim her looking into the camera is a sign of deceit. you just said i’m wrong because i’m assuming but then you literally made an assumption
Last girl definitely has a good "friend" it's almost like she's speaking from personal experience that's how vividly they described it lmao

“Either you feel good or you feel sleepy.”
Pretty much nailed it. Although the third option is “immediately feel overwhelming paranoia.”
weirdly enough, one of my uncles gets hyper from it, like his body ingests it differently.
@@Loltroll8I would say all 4 sometimes happen with me, depends on the type of cush and my mood
@@Loltroll8 my weed rant: it depends on what kind of weed you smoke. While a lot of strains are just really flavor differences, many have very different effects on your body. The most simple way is Indica, Sativa, and Hybrids. indicas will be more relaxing, with a heavy body high which makes you feel more sleepy and sluggish. Sativas focus more on a head high, which mainly improves mood and can actually increase your productivity or make you hyper like you said. Hybrids are somewhere in the middle and vary from indica dominant to sativa dominant or 50/50. In my experience though hybrids feel pretty much the same as indicas.
If you’re actually at all interested you could look into terpenes. Those are what are responsible for the differences in feelings and tastes. For example Myrcene is one of the many terpenes and tastes like citrus or cloves and is described as having a relaxing, sedating effect and is used to treat things like inflammation and insomnia. Each strain has a different combination of terpenes and therefore have different effects :)

@@SkorpzOfficial THC can have paradoxical effect on the brains of some people. Granted, I was TCH naive, when I took two droppers of 3CHI delta8. I had a severe anxiety reaction with depersonalization/ derealisation, tachycardia, etc. However I can see looking back, how, if I was in a situation to relax and let it take control, it could be pleasant. At the time it was a normal afternoon at home where I needed to be busy, taking care of family, and engaged in conversation. When I tried to do that, it was like I was outside of my body but still in my head thinking, “what’s happening to me? Can she tell that I’m not acting normal?” My wife would start a conversation with me and I could follow along for a minute but then I began over analyzing the situation and I would forget what we were talking about even just one sentence into the conversation. So I had lasting effects from that from many months. Several times I’ve taken high potency CBD from Lazurus Naturals, and even though they are below the regulated limit of Delta9 THC (0.3%), they push it right up to that number. In which case, taking 1-2 ml droppers dosed me with 3-6 mg natural delta9TCH. I just could never handle it, and the high amount of CBD that came along in the dose, did not blunt the anxiety response for me. It’s all unfortunate, but I’m just not wired for it. I wish I was.
That last one really nailed it. Gotta love those anonymous "friends" lol
I fed "my cat" with It we used to Say back in the day😅😂
"My cat" smoked it and felt so and so
I love how she looked at the camera right then...
The last girl has a very good friend - they told her the truth
When the lady with sunglasses said “either you feel good or sleepy”, i knew she was a lady of culture
It isn't culture. It ruins life.

@Leave Children Alone 🏳️🌈⃠ Chronically online💀🤣
@LeaveChildrenAlone1776 Dude... you're getting high, so it's a drug.
@LeaveChildrenAlone1776ya know, caffiene is a drug too. Just like alcohol abd nicotine. Naturally occuring or not theses substances are drugs.
The definition of a drug is a substance that has a psychological effect when consumed. Pot is definitely a drug, just like caffeine, nicotine, and cocaine.
@LeaveChildrenAlone1776wait, you're not getting high when you drink caffeine? I wouldn't exactly call it getting high, but there's definitely a psychological effect, is there not? Your physiology is being affected. Nobody really considers a caffeine buzz a high, but a high is really just your brain chemistry being altered. Trust me, enough caffiene will make you feel something. Call it a high, call it buzz, call it whatever, but there's no arguing caffeine does not produce a psychological effect.
@LeaveChildrenAlone1776 Yeah bud just because it's socially acceptable to use doesn't mean it's not a drug. That's why kids get addicted to energy drinks and the like.
Listening to people speaking the Japanese language is so calming for some reason

@@ssjaken I can’t be mad at this comment because I’m guilty as well
@@ssjaken I think it's just the language. I didn't watch porn as a youth and I still find the language super calming. I also don't watch much anime, mostly Studio Ghibli movies. It's just simply a nice sounding language.

Well, if her friend gets arrested because of this video, her friend will not consider her as a friend anymore!
But trust me, it is really rare case to find any marijuana users in your friends in Japan. It is far easier to find your friend who committed suicide successfully. Only marijuana users whom you will find are the arrested people in TV news.
I guess some people here seem suspecting that the last girl in this video had actually tried marijuana before. But I don't think she would take such a risk of describing the details of marijuana trip in front of the camera if she really had used it.
Because if the police recognizea her in this video, and arrests her, she will be put in a jail up to 7 years, and she will lose her family and ordinary job opportunities in the future etc.
"Stop worrying about things" is probably the most off the mark thing they said here
Right, not the auditory and visual allucinations bc those are normal...
Can we just talk about that japanese sounds so nice.. i mean it sound beautiful and so relaxing.
"You feel good, or you fall asleep,"

Bake it in brownies, bro.
I concur, and for the sake of the joke I am willing to forget about edibles for a moment
@@SnailHatan sounds like your “friend” knows a lot about weed 🤣
@@caitthecatyou can't just bake it in, the high heat will actually destroy the thc. I just made an infused banana bread the other day. You first have to geind it up to a medium coarseness then decarboxylate it in the oven for about half an hour at 200°f. You then take the decarboxylated flower and put it in a slow cooker with your medium. I use coconut oil, I'm lactose intolerant and the higher saturated fat content allows for nore thc/cbd to bind to the lipids. You have to ensure that it doesnt get too hot, I like to use the "keep warm" setting on the slow cooker to make sure it doesnt degrade it. After a good 6-8 hours of occasional stirring, it's ready to be used for baked goods. When doing the baking, it's extremely important to keep the temp under 230°f.
Imagine bro just has grinded weed in the brownies thatd be funny lol im sure he knows better, in theory though brownies also bake at around 250 for 20-30 mins so if the bud was only sprinkled on top, possibly it would drcarb ontop the brownies? And if you’re man enough to eat I think youd get high ?
In Japan, possession of marijuana is a very serious criminal offense.
If a person is found to be using marijuana in Japan, he or she will be labeled as a socially useless person and may not be able to return to some work or normal life.
It is not something that can be casually touched. Marijuana as a recreational drug is not at all common in Japan.
So if she were to actually use it, I think she would respond, "Don't shoot me, I don't know anything about it" I think😂
From Canada here. Recreational weed is legal, but there are restrictions : you can't take it 12 hours before going to work, you can't take it at all if your an nurse/doctor/EMT, you can only buy it in small amounts, you shouldn't take it if you are watching over an child alone. After an few months its "newness" wore off it wasn't that popular.
Last lady gave the most accurate description. Of course it was her "friend".
Don’t be fooled they know lmao. The ones that smoke it can’t take even the slightest risk of being suspected for a crime that could give them 3-5 years

nah a gram of weed can get you hung out there they've prolly never even seen bud
@@andreworourke3908Yet they sold psilocybin mushrooms in vending machines for aphrodisiac purposes, Japan is so hypocritical.
Japanese don't know about it and in Japan it's almost taboo to even mention it. Japanese not only don't want to get familiar with it but they don't want others to think they are familiar with it. Meanwhile getting drunk at parties is totally fine, if not almost recommended (maybe not to get drunk but to not refuse alcohol too much).
they are familiar with it, it's been there for sometime now, if not for that species it's family is there. It's just that Japanese people want to appear law abiding.
Lol they’re gonna be so little of them in 50 years
I see no problem with this.
@@patrickbueno3279 I've lived in Japan for 20 years and I swear they're not familiar with it. They do know a bit about it but 99% haven't tried a single time. And if you get caught you're in big trouble.
@@TokyoQuaSaR Familiar doesn't necessarily mean that you need to try it, and weed isn't the drug of choice by the Japanese they usually go on the hard stuff.

It's a hard thing to explain even for a regular user, I'd describe it mostly as a "thought-loop" or "thought-echo". Everyone often trying to explain the feelings instead of thinking when it comes to weed.

The last girl has it exactly right. You feel good for no reason, you smile for no reason. A different, more mellow side of you comes out. Most people who use weed use if for this reason, cause most of them are stressed and just the times we’re in now are tough for everyone, and people just need to relax and feel good

This is so strange to me because smoking weed was relatively common in the Edo period I think, and Hokkaido is one of the only places where weed grows naturalky in abundance. When living there I met a man who's job it was to just burn all it down. I told him I found this ironic given that Japan is a country of such modern technilogical advances, and cannabis has many medical uses, as does hemp in general, yet the traditional mindset sees any potential medical breakthroughs that could come from cannabis literally gone up in smoke. And what a waste of alot of smoke anyway 😂
Blablabla duuude even them samurai smoked it! Blablabla xD
It's not ironic at all if you actually understand Japanese culture. Japan is one of the most conservative East Asian countries, and you're also wrong to think Japan is technologically advanced. If you ever spent any amount of meaningful time in Japan, you'll know that almost all offices still use fax machines, public wifi is very limited especially compared to neighbouring countries where wifi is literally everywhere even on the most rural and smallest bus routes, most restaurants and shops don't havr paywave let alone phone pay, and most banks still require customers to go in person to make transactions.
Japan might make fancy looking gadgets that impress gullible tourists who don't know any better, but these are just that - gadgets, like dancing robots or whatever, that don't actually bring any usefulness or purpose in everyday life.
Japan is at least 10 or possibly 20 years behind South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and major Chinese cities in terms of actual applicable technology.
I believe alot of the illnesses that might can be healed by weed doesn’t affect the Japanese because of being healthier on average then many in the west. The Japanese definitely do get sick toke to tile but they are not plagued with the big amount of health issues we our in the US.
Marijuana was legal in Japan until before World War II, but Japan lost the war and the U.S. made laws against it.
@@deis.w no, the reason there is so few public wifi is just japanese prefer their own phone.

What's funny is before WW2 wild hemp and cannabis for medicine in Japan was very common and it's even in the book of traditional Japanese medicines then after the Americans came in to rebuild one of the first things they did was ban hemp and cannabis.
It's sad really because hemp is a very versatile textile and it can provide food, clothing and building materials and cannabis aswell would be perfect for Japan seeing how stressful the Japanese workplace can be if anyone deserves to have some cannabis after work it's Japanese office workers.
