Impossible.. sadly... they can cover up easy... 40 billion buck investment in a country of a proud 1.3 billion... never.. as much as I know the cradle was rocked and they cheated. Hard proof sometimes sucks. I have been on this one for the last week.. Up in arms!

It was a bit harsh and saw the final drama on the news. Having been in Roppongi a thousand times and living here...now married and settled. Its easy to get caught up in, that Roppongi scene. I myself knew tons of pot smoking Japanese in 11 years, you see the pot leaf on tons of t-shirts here too or earings. I knew of K1 guys doing the white stuff, all sorts, Iranian and Nigerian dealers dont help the gaijin image either. Moreover if he was Japanese, I think it would been squashed and the stable would of got a call, slap on the bum. I had a buddy who tried to send himself a few joints from Thailand in 2005. Dog sniffed it out from a a commercial flight (the regular airmail). Anyway they showed up at his place at 9am with camera dudes, interpreter, 5 cops but no cuffs. Like a hardened murder scene. Thats for 2 joints in a DVD. They drilled him with questions for 5 days and he literally went home and came back every day (customs office) to tell his life story every day at 10am. In the end it was a 170000 yen fine, fingerprints, mug shots and no blacklist. Guess the top Osaka customs cop liked him and gave him a stick of gum his last day of interview and made jokes, laughing with him. Guess it was old school, the chainsmoking, the 1970 green rotary phone on the steel desk and they reaked of booze from the night before. Even the greentea chick at 330pm. On another note, the US military has a zero tolerance and those cats get kicked out and disgraced over a joint too. Anyway boys this is an opinion thing and to each his own. But mary jane...Yea I know its Japan.. but on the lighter side can you imagine this country and how cool it would be if it was taken off that evil shelf, and other things were sorted. I think they should of fined this kid/man, gave him probation and a suspension. But thats my 2 cents. Not a fan of hard drugs (hate them) but also had a good buddy use medical THC in his last days with lymphoma. Was the sumo dude in pain, bored or just partying laidback at 400 lbs in Roppongi, or just a 20 yr old dude who made a mistake. Lost his career and now back to the grind in Russia, ouch. Honestly think the stuff is seen as pure evil here. I kinda think about the 60 million heavy smokers in Japan... and does that kill? Kinda a 1970ish thing still goes on. anyway...Im the New England Yankee Democrat guy, just my 2 cents. Guess it could be worse if in Singapore but then again they dont smoke anywhere they want, read 711 smut mags and piss on the street.
