Man arrested for stabbing two minors over cannabis trafficking

They all violated the true spirit of cannabis

“Trafficking” lol.

Police said Tanaka is believed to be a cannabis trafficker. The minors attempted to steal marijuana from him by connecting with him over a social networking site and lured him to the scene for a drug deal. However, a fight ensued and Tanaka pulled out a knife and stabbed the two victims.

That's a painful lesson to learn.

Should also charge the other two with attempted robbery...

We live in strange times. I'm noticing a trend of kids hunting in packs nowadays, a previous one that I can remember was a papakatsu in his 30's being assaulted. I hope this doesn't continue.

They weren't fighting over trafficking. They were fighting over the weed which they were trying to steal.

Just legalize it (the weed, not the stabbing)! Sorted, innit?

Subtitle: Things that could be solved in an instant by legalization if there was the political will and financial incentive to do so.

Of course people will focus on the cannabis but the focus should be on the 3 deviants in the confrontation.

Nope. Regulat teen cannabis users are more than FIVE times as likely to have psychotic-like symptoms as non-users, even after adjusting for other factors.

Leave this garbage out of Japan. Let other countries poison their youth if they want to.

No country on the world poisons its youth mate. They either have laws against drugs, or laws against selling drugs to minors.

This is what happens when you deal with that overglorified drug. I never understood the culture surrounding that plant. It makes you feel terrible, makes you stupid, smoking it is bad for your health and places that made it legal stink of that thing. Nothing would make yours truly happier than a universal 40-year mandatory sentence for simple possession.

It makes you feel terrible, makes you stupid

Then why do people smoke it?

it is bad for your health

Then why is it prescribed medically?

Wanna be cool, fit in a group, they're sheep, became what I described in my previous post, etcetera.

Then why is it prescribed medically?

Tobacco, heroin, cocaine and countless other dangerous substances where once prescribed or at least recommended by physicians until studies showed they were detrimental for human health. I'm sure it will happen to cannabis too, specially the smoked form. Oils may be helpful, though.

So the people who say it feels good, they're all lying? Every last one of them? And why did people smoke it before there was peer pressure?

If I didn't respect you so much, I'd think that your thinking was a reductionist logical fallacy, but you're so smart, you must have some sort of evidence that all these people are bold faced liars.

Cannabis has been studied more than any other drug in human history. So you feel these were all wrong?

classic !

They should have visited a local kombini and bought a cheap bottle or whiskey.

Legalise it & tax it.

A twofold effect - it cuts out the criminal aspect & increases the government coffers

Cannabis "trafficking". Lol. Leave it to Japan to be so dramatic. Studies have implied that smoking or using weed is no more detrimental or addictive than drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco. Considering the number of functioning alcoholics in Japan and how alcohol is used as a crutch there, they could do with a substance that helps them chill out a little. Maybe put a smile on their face.

Legalise it, and this sort of thing goes away.

I think you are talking about a drug called alcohol, most weed smokers just want to be left alone to lie down on their couch and watch a bad movie.

Just legalize it

Typical knee-jerk Japanese reaction: Sure, but then you would have people trying to rob the weed stores.

Just legalize it , maaaaaaaan. Then it'll all be totally raaaaaaaaad, man.
