I think the trick is to just not confess to anything and they let you go, but you probably won't have a job after missing 30 days of work.

So weed isn't legal (and a gram is like $60) but I went to multiple head shops in Tokyo. See, all the weird herbal alternatives aren't illegal, and they all have rad as gently caress names like OG-GrenadeThunder or Skullblaze420 FLAME. These get you super baked but wear off after like an hour, and cost about what weed costs in the states. Two places I tried in Harajuku had try-before-you bars where the clerk just packs you a bowl and you chill. I do not know how I navigated back to my hostel, none of my friends can remember either.

So they can get stoned legally but even the raunchiest MASTERKeefBlasterBUD just isn't the same as regular weed.

That's a story I have about drugs in a faraway place.

that stuff is dangerous as gently caress i'm surprised it got you "stoned", usually spice has really weird unpredictable effects

It's comparable in the way that a dry handie is comparable to getting laid, and it leaves you wicked hung-over within a. Hour or two but nothing that was, like, salvia bad.

This is also a culture where you only really drink to black out, so getting housed isn't exactly uncommon

"let's take some average retards and ask them to judge someone based solely on how they feel about it"

You know you can wave your right to trial by jury? The reason no one does that is because it's loving retarded and highly likely to get you convicted. You would have to understand absolutely nothing about how the legal system works to believe otherwise.

"Years ago when this reporter asked a functionary in the Chiba Prosecutor’s office about its refusal to accept evidence that could have potentially exonerated a foreigner accused of drug smuggling--even though the Belgian police wanted them to have it--the response was a look of dumbfound surprise.

“Why would we want new evidence that might weaken our case, when we already have to enough to convict him?” asked the functionary.

This is prosecutorial thinking in Japan: it’s not about justice, it’s about winning and saving face."

while we're talking about grandpas and the japanese let me point out that my grandpa captured a japanese guy in world war 2 all by himself. no idea what ever happened to that guy. hope he had an ok life after the war :shobon:

weirdly enough my boyfriend is half-japanese and their family tree allows for the possibility that he might actually be that guy's descendant, maybe, who knows. so thanks for not killing that guy, dead grandpa, so i can have gay sex with my boyfriend 70 years later.

they should make it like a dunk tank where one person is sitting high up with their rear end in a top hat fully exposed (with multiple camera angles projecting to large screens that a crowd can watch via) and another person (the player) operates a joystick that moves this mechanical hand thing to decide the fingering speed and styles of choice

I mean I certainly can't think of more accurate representation of Japanese society, can you? I once got into an argument with a woman in Japan insisting I couldn't smoke on the train. If I had my 3rd volume of GetBackers on my personage I could have proven her wrong, but eh, pick your battles.

Last night, I discovered that preloading w just a single 5-htp pill an hour before smoking makes the high even more intense. Best Xmas I could have gotten was to discover that.

One pill was 100 mg. I also tried it with 2 pills, and it was even better. Reading around the net, it seems to work for some people, not so much for others, I guess I am one of the lucky ones.

It' some chemical that your body can synthesize into serotonin but it can't really cross the blood brain barrier effectively so it doesn't really work for that; it does however effectively suppress your appetite.
