Do not watch this video. The people running the show condone a lifestyle which is both archaic and unhealthy. The products consumed are also archaic and unhealthy. So why am I putting this video on gaijin-in-japan? Well, I think it is important that Japanese be informed of what the rest of the world is doing. I mean, 52% of the Japanese population smokes tobacco, hell, maybe they’ll catch on to something new. Vending machines…vending machines…vending machines

What struck me straight away is that Craig Coffey (seen at 06:52) is a dead ringer for The Office UK’s Gareth Keenan (the UK version of Dwight Schrute).

Wow. Names names names. Me? I like the smoke.

Does High Times still run the comic “Fast Freddy and the Fabulous Freak Brothers”? I loved the cat. Had a buddy who used to smoke tabacco out of a pipe. He was smoking one evening in a snack, and a 30 something female patron got up and started wailing on him. The mama broke things up and a few minutes later she got up and started smaking my friend again. As it turns out, she thought he was smoking marijuana. Probably never smelled or saw it in her life, but she assumed he was an “evil” pot smoker. Here in Japan they don’t differentiate between hard and soft drugs. Everyone just buys into South Park’s counselor Mackey’s words of wisdom, “Drugs are bad, ok?”

BUD… so what was the point there… killer buds shot.

The pointis here in Japan Marijuana is considered EVIL. You might as well say you do crack or shoot heroin. My wife was pissed at me cause I smoked three years before we met and has said that she’ll divorce me if she ever catches me doing it again, weed that is, never said anything about crack or heroin.

Well… at least you know what to do if you want an ‘out’. Here is Vangroovy? Easy-pleasey. And good stuff, too… apparently, of course.

So how did Japan’s view of Paul McCartney change when he was busted there many years ago?
Zen on June 23rd, 2007 at 12:48 am
I do not know about Paul. But many many years ago the original star of Zatoichi (RIP) was busted for pot. Everyone forgave him because he was so well liked.

When a Japanese star gets busted for drugs (usually speed or some kind of upper), they pull all their records from the shelves. Western rock stars seem to be exempt from this. All time favorite junkie/rock star?….. Nikki Six of Motley crue. Anyone who can wreck their car coming home from the hospital after overdosing and imediately shoot up after getting home is a Rock n’ Roll god in my book.

Exempt? Hell, in the West, drug charges only seem to propel their careers… In fact, it seems only pedophilia can bring down a celebrity here. I mean, look at Michael, um… shit… What’s his name? You know, the guy who looks like a twisted Diana Ross clone… Speaking of which, here’s a sick joke that I’ve never been able to stop laughing at: How do you know when it’s bedtime at Neverland Ranch? When the big hand touches the little hand!

But R & B ’star’ R. Kelly’s career didn’t go straight into the toilet… even after being charged with underage sexual contact when a video surfaced of him having sex with a minor. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/06/06/entertainment/main511394.shtml God, Japan sounds so North-America-circa-1963… . Even MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) are now tackling the issue of driving while stoned on weed (maaaaan). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ_WRWzoB6Q OK… it’s not a particularly good commercial… but the issue is raised.
