Give them one month of jail time, then put them into a drug rehabilitation program. Jail time dosen't cure the drug problems, usually drug rehab dose.

they should just let her go so J-cops would be less embarrassed. There are more serious stories out there.

send her to the gallows! and she claimed to have bought the drugs from a gaijin..yes, let's always use gaijins as the scapegoat.

nobody really cares what happens to Noriko Sakai.

Nigerians are gaijins, Philipinos are gaijins, Chinese are gaijins, and the citizens of the other countries are also gaijins. If you check the link I gave earlier you can understand exactly how the drugs are supplied. She was right. Where she was hanging out with her husband is a where soe of these gaijins supply the drug. Sakai's suppliers should also be duly punished if the cops like it. But they will not do that because it is an arrangement.

Perhaps Japan should look back on its history. I remember reading somewhere of a daimyo that used to tattoo the kanji for dog into the forehead of those who traded/used opium. The possibility of having such a tattoo would scare a lot of people straight. It would also negatively impact Noripi's photogenic face. Indeed, she could reposition herself in the public's mind as a sort of Japanese Charlie Manson.

Most probably she became a star with the help of the Yakuza. So most probably she will return to stardom again with the help of the Yakuza.

I think she should appear in an anti-drug poster together with her gaijin pusher. Let's see what he looks like, since there's so much talk about him.

A free trip to Amsterdam so she can smoke all the herb she wants and then a flight to Portugal so she can shoot up all the heroin she wants.

Should she take her 10 year old son along with her when she goes to Amsterdam and Portugal? Or maybe just leave him with the mistress of the husband.

Probation and some rehab if she needs it. I don't see the point in crucifying the woman.

She should get house arrest at my place for a time yet to be determined.

Let her out now and apologize for the brutal treatment and all the pain and suffering they have caused her!!
Law was invented to stop people from doing wrong to each other. Who did she hurt? or caused inconvenience? I'm ashamed to be ruled with stupid laws like this. If there's no victim, there's no problem. She has been doing fine until police and media ruined her life. Drugs are not powerful enough to do that.

People know how to take care of themselves. Most people will quit drugs if they realize their lives are going down the drain. Only 1% ends up ruining their lives with drugs. And they probably didn't think it was precious from the beginning.

Because she's a celebrity she should have some sort of "batsu game" on tv ; like

(1) fall into a big tank of iced water, to really loud cyber-trance background music and canned laughter. (2) have to eat a chou cream with lots of wasabi in it, to really loud cyber-trance background music and canned laughter. (3) be locked in a glass box with a huge balloon that slowly fills up with water unless she can write some difficult kanji, to really loud cyber-trance background music and canned laughter. (4) have a painful Japanese foot massage, to really loud cyber-trance background music and canned laughter. (5) have loads of clothes pegs pegged to her face, to really loud cyber-trance background music and canned laughter.

They should also ensure that every word she says comes up in massive kanji on the screen.

This televised on every channel, non-stop for 24-hours.
