Guess it depends on the groups you hang out with and where you live.
The idea that Japanese might have about Marijuana you paint here is probably right in most areas. That is just from lack of knowledge on the plant. The same ideas Jpaanese have that caffine, tobacco and alcohol, taking in moderation is also very acceptable on the same hand.
I think if the US legalizes it in some fashion I think Japan would soon follow. I get back to you about it in 10 years.

I am saying cigarettes have ZERO benefits. You can't say that about the other things. That's why I say smoking is different from "Internet" or "living in city". There are other benefits to those things, despite possible health issues. Cigarettes don't have other benefits.
America legalizing mariijuana will have as much affect on Japanese feelings about dope as America legalizing handguns does. Sure there will be a handful of people that will develop and interest, but that is very different from the national government reversing what is probably one of the most popular laws in Japan.
