Most of the employess at my workplace use stimulants every day. In fact, we have these devices in our office that actually make stimulants. They're called coffee machines.
I'm still waiting to find out what 'stimulant' this guy was actually busted for possessing.

I wouldn't suggest holding your breath for a response! I for one am rather surprised that there was an actual follow up here this time.
Must be because of the syringes being found in his desk!

Syringes and a stimulant . . . Meth?

A trade ministry official? LOL. Well he is engaging in trade..

Oh, I know you are absolutely right. It just seems so odd to me for law enforcement to continue to dance around saying the name of the drug.
And honestly, I just really wanted to make a coffee joke again. ;-)

If it makes do his job faster and more efficiently and come home stress free, I can’t see what the problem is.

Why not. It must be damn hard work rewriting history, shredding documents and faking numbers.

I'm with the posters above - why are drugs never identified in the news?

because in Japanese official documents there is no clear difference between cocaine, meth ,mdma or similar ( there are actually many substances ) , they are named and referred to in criminal code similarly.
very simple

Yowza! I wonder how much he actually paid for those 22g.

So why don't Japanese journalists make a phone call and find out, instead of regurgitating the police's press handouts.
Realization
@Alex Einz
You might be correct?
However, without clear definition and/or description of substances , it is very desirous to implement any law in force.
Any one could be victim too.
Realization
Dangerous ( not desirous), sorry.

Again- same question - why not? What's to be gained by not differentiating? A university graduate I know, professional chap asked me if heroin and cocaine were the same thing. There seems to be a deliberate strategy of just keeping the locals chanting the mantra "Drug is bad" without any kind of education about the problem.
