As far as a hemp 'movement', I've seen several videos of marijuana marches in Tokyo.

But the question is: Is this just a fad, or is it a legitimate concern towards prohibition?


Bottom line... Smoking cannabis is one of the most victimless crimes around, and is surely no more harmful than a beer.

And without the cannabis plant itself, it would be unlikely that modern Japan would be the way it is... Most rope/cloth/food for the past two thousand years has been made of durable cannabis fibers/seeds... Not to mention it was the first, second, and third most prescribed drug in the world up until its prohibition. (Which was caused by DuPont and the lumber industry.)

Though void of intoxicating THC, hemp still grows wild in Hokkaido.
