RE: Anarcho-Japan: Thoughts on Booze, Nakedness, and Plants in the Land of the Rising Sun
I'd go so far as to say it's tragic that Japan has that view of hemp, especially given it's ubiquity prior to the US' enforcement of law and order after World War II.
However, the fact they're not deathly afraid of their bodies or of people with alcohol in public is a plus. These are cultural things, and as it's been said before, culture always precedes politics.
That is very true. I find hope in that, though, because it's proof for me that a culture of peace would completely incapacitate political attempts at actions to the contrary.
