Sorry to go back in the thread but to clarify, the girl I saw was Japanese. If she was a sex worker she certainly did not look or dress like one. Having seen my share of meth abusers in the US, she stood out in an obvious manner. To people who have never seen this type of addict before she could have blended in as someone who is on the go, very stressed out and way over-caffeinated.

I don't have the experience of living in Japan but I do get tired of reading that it must be a criminal foreigner's doing when there is something illegal going on. From whet I have read, meth/shabu is the most consumed illegal drug in Japan and I don't think it's all being consumed by illegal sex workers. Realistically it's probably students cramming for tests, overworked office workers, people with multiple jobs, bored teens or teen girls who think it will keep them extra slim and awake for the next party. And truck drivers.
