I hope the local police do more about the people on tbe streets in Roppongi when we visit once or twice per year. Every single time they're trying to sell us drugs. It scares me because it is so open and aggressive that I think it is a trap. While I think marijuana, magic mushrooms, Ayahuasca, MDMA have their medical and spiritual and therapeutic benefits (Japan might see an increase in birth rate and empathy and happiness and decrease in suicide rates if legalized or just decriminalized), what's being offered is cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin... All of those are very dangerous drugs that destroy societies. Japan is one of the best countries in the world, when you visit, obey their laws. But they should relax on a few things, especially since at-home printing / manufacturing of both legal and illegal drugs is just a few years away... They're just compounds.
