I am so proud.

I was bored reading my book for my finals, I started reading
about Japan again.

And I found something quite amazingly beautiful and nice.

"According to the Japanese law ;
[People go to jail for possessing less than one gram of hemp and they face many social penalties too (loss of job, expulsion from schools, etc.). Theoretically you can go to prison for five years for a single joint. Larger quantities, cultivation or smuggling will lead to prison sentences of up to seven years. Smugglers caught with a few hundred grams to a few kg of cannabis are routinely sent to prison for 3-4 years. Discipline in Japanese prisons is extremely strict and conditions are harsh.

All foreigners caught with marijuana will be deported after having served their sentence, with a life-time ban on returning into the country (even someone as famous as Paul McCartney wasn't re-admitted until 11 years later). Japan has a general policy of refusing entry to all foreigners with a criminal record on controlled substance violations." - Taken on Japan-Guide

And also, a witness, or more a "victim" of beign caught in Japan
for having some drugs with him (mari in this case) said this :

"I seved 2 1/2 months before my trail date and then was given a 1 year 6 months
sentence that was suspended for 4 years I am north american and my wife
is japanese i can nolonger go to Japan because of a lifetime ban."

Thank you Japan for making my day brighter with this info <3

*Japan, I am proud of you*
