this is getting away from the stupid teacher topic, but a big part of japan's anti pot thing and its whole pot being a gateway drug thing is very similar to the west's attitudes in say the 50's. its not just about pot etc, but about quite a few things.

but then that might be because people who grew up in the 50's are now such a big part of the community that every thing caters to, that the attitudes still exist. but had this story taken place elsewhere, like say america, i believe the outrage would have been the same.

having said that, drugs are more widespread here than the media would have you believe, theyre much more expensive, but theyre there,..... and as they say, the more the old people make something wrong, the more fun it is to do.
