Let's go and ask Japanese people
Recently in Canada, as seen on Japanese news
the law changed
Have you heard anything?
Anything?
I got it!
Marijuana?
I saw it on news
It's ok now. In the bag....
When tourists go there
and bring it back, that's not ok
I saw it on news
What did you think when you heard it
Well
I didn't want it to happen
It's dangerous. With smuggling, it will come in
That's what I think
You are afraid it'll come to Japan?
Scary
And if those people increase,
it will give a bad image
In Japan, marijuana is illegal so
If something illegal here is legal in another country
It's hard to go
So it's harder to go to Canada?
What became legal is Marijuana
Surprise
What did you think?
I'm not sure it's ok
Everybody will do it
More accidents
Right
There are rules there. You have to be 18
No driving
It's like the rules of Alcohol
and people who sell
The laws in Canada changed recently
Didn't know.You?
Marijuana
Correct
Marijuana became legal
Where did you see the news?
When I tried to search on Twitter,
it came on top on trend of Canada
I saw that it said it's legal in Canada
What did you think?
I want to go to Canada
What did you think?
I'm worried that making it legal will make people go crazy
It's all my image but
My image of Marijuana is if you smoke, you will go crazy
so if it becomes legal, the whole city will be crazy
so I'm worried
Cannabis. Ever heard that?
Never
Marijuana?
No
How about Marijuana
I think you've heard that
That became legal in Canada like liquors
Have you heard that?
A country has made it from illegal to legal
What do you think?
That's scary
to be legal
Anybody can use it
It would be trouble in Japan
If everybody is using it, I may use it as well and that's scary
You mean your feeling toward it will be loose like liquor?
Yes
Didn't hear?
Have you heard cannabis has become legal in Canada?
Do you know cannabis?
What is that?
Do you know marijuana?
Marijuana
I know
That is ok now?
Did you hear the news?
Yes I heard it became legal
You didn't know?
Didn't know
-Did you? -I saw it in news
What did you think?
I don't think we need it
I was surprised
What is the image of Marijuana in Japan?
Bad,bad image
It's illegal so...
People who used it were sent to prison until now
They can't get help, or no doctor
and will end up getting worse
With it being legal, they can go to the doctor
could get help
That may happen. What do you think?
If the system is there to help people out
It's good for people who wants to quit
but I don't want to do it in the first place
I don't think you need it
When it becomes legal in Japan, what will happen?
Will go bad
Police will be busy
I believe there will be more crime than now
I don't think anyone will follow
Quite less
If it's not ok, it's better to make it all illegal
It's easier for the side who gives opinions
If you make it partially legal, for people who breaks the rule
It will be hard to handle those people
I don't think a lot of people will follow the rule
So even with rules, people won't follow?
I think it was illegal because people didn't follow rules
or until now
I think with rules, people may follow it at first,
but many people will go out of control
it will become a rule which nobody follows
I think it's not ok
It does say legal age is from 18
the younger kids may use it as well
Even with the rules, I hope they don't use it
Even with the age restriction of 18, people will start at a younger age
Even if it's legal, as long as the government controls it, it must not be widespread
I had said I was preoccupied, but as long as it goes through the government
and doesn't include harmful substance
As a luxury product such as tabacco and liquor, I think now it's ok
Until now it was send them off to prison,
but now they can go see the doctor easily if they want to quit
What do you think?
I think that is good, but with that mentality
I don't think people would do it
If you think you need to go to hospital when things go bad
Those people cannot go because they are hooked
If they need to go to hospital, they should stay away and go to tabacco or alcohol instead
Those that do not think too much about it are ones that end up in the hospital
I'm not sure, but as a Japanese my opinion is,
Try to stay with tabacco or alcohol
and be careful as much as possible
Ah, if there is a rule, within that rule
if they do it
I think it's ok
As an image I had an image that it is not permitted
so I don't know
Do you think it will be legal in Japan some day?
I don't think so
She says it
I hope it doesn't
Tabacco is decreasing, like iCos
I think those things will disappear
What will happen when it becomes legal in Japan?
Bad people will appear
so I don't want it to spread
I cannot imagine in Japan
I have an image of abroad but
no image of Japan
can't imagine
How is marijuana perceived in Japan?
Is not ok, probably
Not Ok
Possession is illegal
You get caught
When you get caught?
Hospital? Police?
I'm not sure but if you are caught holding it you get arrested
If the person is addicted
I think there you are sent to hospital
You go crazy
Image of something bad
Why would a country allow that?
Everybody used it?
Like tabacco
It will be in the same category as liquor as well?
When I checked the rule
Like liquor, you have to be 18 to use it
No driving
The amount of possession is limited
Limitation on growing it
The sales will be done by government who are above
Will that be possible in Japan or not?
Cannot happen
Will it be legal some day in Japan?
Will it be?
Something that was not illegal became illegal so
I think it may stay the same
Canada hasn't become scary, right?
Right. Even with the change of law, people who does it will do it
No matter what
So image of Marijuana is dangerous?
Something not permitted
It has an image since childhood which is not permitted
Police said it's not ok so
the image of not being ok is grown to us
so I was shocked because it became ok
Do you think there is a possibilty of Marijuana becoming legal in Japan?
I don't think so
Why?
Many people are arrested and bad image is spread out so
people don't agree with it
There may be people in Japan right now who does Marijuana,
but the general population will not use it just because it becomes legal
People who smokes will smoke now
so I don't think there is a high possibility of becoming legal
For Canada, if I were to go, I am interested though
of Marijuana. A little
I don't know if I'll smoke or not
If they do a tour, many people will be interested
I don't know if they can sell it but people will go
Go to a tour and get hooked there, come back and wanting it here as well is scary
If you start once, you want to continue in Japan is dangerous?
Some of them will try to find out how they can get it here
That's scary
That was a good story. Thank you very much
So cannabis is legal in Canada now
What a surprise. So what do you actually think about that?
