    Seems like a lot of Asian countries really hate weed. Why is that?

    America. During occupation we forced Japan to make marijuana, hemp and every other drug illegal. Partially its said to force our own ideas of morality on Japan. Part of it was specifically to destroy the Japanese hemp industry which was quite large at the time, to the point were Hokkaido has a large wild hemp/marijuana population that is actively watched and destroyed still.

    I was quite shocked when my neighbor here once offered me a joint. And it's Osaka's central area, and it wasn't that late! Though I sometimes can smell it in the air, and occasionally see teenagers (on the older side) smoking weed, it's usually somewhere far from the crowds and popular places.
