For those who are Japanese/Speak Japanese, here is a pro-Hemp group from Japan
CANNABIST Internet - -- We are CANNABIST, a non-profit citizen activist organization located here in Tokyo, calling for decriminalization of personal use of cannabis in Japan. The recent worldwide public debates over the policies related to cannabis has been gaining momentum in support of decriminalization, backed by scientific evidence and viewpoints of human rights. CANNABIST consists of 3000 members unified by a shared desire to bring an end to the widespread general misunderstanding among the Japanese public regarding the risks of personal use of cannabis. This general misunderstanding has retarded rational reconsideration of the current policy that prohibits the personal use of cannabis. The current policy has caused what we consider to be wrongful violations of human rights. There have been over one thousand arrests each year, and those who have been arrested have been subjects to often severely strict punishments completely disproportional, and uncalled for, considering the fact that personal use of cannabis only poses more or less equivalent risks as compared to tobacco and alcohol in terms of personal health and overall safety of the general public. We have been active since the year 1999, and through our efforts to decriminalize personal use of cannabis, we aim to make our own society freer and better. CANNABIST [email protected] Address: 2-6-19-101 Sakurashinmachi Setagaya-ku Tokyo 154-0015 Japan ---

I don't know if I believe about this group. When I went there to try to organize the THC Ministry too many people were afraid of getting arrested. I don't see why this group would be any different, but I hope they are.

2,700 year old marijuana found in central Asia -
08-29-2009, 11:01 PM
Phytochemical and genetic analyses of ancient cannabis from Central Asia -- Russo et al. 59 (15): 4171 -- Journal of Experimental Botany
The Yanghai Tombs near Turpan, Xinjiang-Uighur Autonomous Region, China have recently been excavated to reveal the 2700-year-old grave of a Caucasoid shaman whose accoutrements included a large cache of cannabis, superbly preserved by climatic and burial conditions.  Microscopic botanical analysis Gross examination of the 11 g sample of cannabis provided by the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed loose dry vegetative material. The impression that the vegetative material had been lightly pounded was supported by examination of the wooden bowl, whose internal surface was worn smooth, apparently from use as a mortar. The cannabis retained a surprisingly green colour in its leafy parts and displayed visible glandular trichomes (Fig. 2B), the phytochemical factory of the plant and site of manufacture of cannabinoids and terpenoids (Potter, 2004; McPartland and Russo, 2001; Kim and Mahlberg, 2003).

hemp used to be legal and japanese farmers planted hemp everywhere in japan before WW2. and hemp has a lot to do with Shinto, and Syugendou. Shinto oracles used to use Oonusa which is written 大麻 (大幣 for present days) when they say prayers( 祝詞 ). Yamabushi burned marijuana when they chant. Japanese even smoked marijuana as medicine of asthma. Japanese parents made crying kids bite marijuana leaves to subside. I want that marijuana culture back. hemp is necessary aspect of our culture.
