Cannabis in Japan

That includes marijuana growers and researchers with a permit. Other marijuana-related actions have been forbidden, which includes the export, import, smoke and supply of marijuana. People found unlawfully cultivating cannabis may be subject to penal servitude of up to seven years. Individuals found to unlawfully possess, receive or transfer cannabis may receive a five-year prison sentence with hard labour for good measure. Japanese cannabis laws are among some of the strictest in the world.

The cops will not let you go easily. If you smoke in a park or outside, be exceptionally cautious because if a person sees you, they will notify the police immediately. However, police have to ask to search you, and if you tell them no, they cannot search you. Do not drive because they can stop your vehicle and get your licence number. Walking, taking a taxi or the subway is the best measurement. Never let the police search you or look at your passport. Simply say no and walk away. In some cases, they might try to strong arm you, but you do not have to let them search you.

However, Japanese law is worse than said. You are guilty until proven innocent. The police are always looking to bust people who look white.

The Price of Cannabis in Japan

Law enforcement in Tokyo keeps a tight grip on marijuana, so you have to exercise exceptional caution with street purchases. However, those set on making a purchase can go to Shibuya, the Tokyo shopping and entertainment district, and speak with the Middle Eastern people standing at the corner of Jewelry shop across from Sakuraya.

Despite Shibuya being a great place to score weed, the area grows more dangerous every day. People continue to get caught. Do not always trust the Arabs because the police are watching their every move. However, if you decide to purchase from an Arab, the weed and hashish can be bought for 4,000 to 5,000 yen. Usually, they take your cell phone number to call you with a meeting place.

Also, you can buy weed from Roppongi, which is slightly safer than the Shibuya dealers. However, weed usually costs between 5,000 to 6,000 yen, which is pretty expensive. Good hydro costs 4,000 to 7,000 yen per gram, but it depends on the connection. Average weed costs 3,000 to 5,500 yen per gram. Hash costs 5,000 yen, which is a stable price.

The Quality of Cannabis in Japan

The cannabis in Japan is decent, but it is not reliable. One day you get the golden Buddha bud, and the next time, you get weed that your stoner uncle wouldn't give away.

Cannabis Strains from Japan

Blue Mystic is an indica strain that has the flavour of wild raspberries. It is a branchy variety that develops calyxes and purple leaves when it matures. The buds are dense and come with pink hairs when finished. The high is a mellow body stone that is great for a late-night evening. Critical Kush is an amazing one-of-a-kind bud and has never left Japanese shores. It is a great medicinal variety and flowers within eight to nine weeks. The extraordinarily potent and insanely relaxing high of the Shiatsu Kush comes with powerful and pungent buds. It has a dark purple hue with an exotic flavour.
