  • [LMAO!] Marijuana is Japan. A long history of the herb.

    “Most Japanese people see cannabis as a subculture of Japan but they’re wrong. For thousands of years cannabis has been at the very heart of Japanese culture,” explains Takayasu Junichi, one of the country’s leading experts.

    According to Takayasu, the earliest traces of cannabis in Japan are seeds and woven fibers discovered in the west of the country dating back to the Jomon Period (10,000 BC - 300 BC). Archaeologists suggest that cannabis fibers were used for clothes - as well as for bow strings and fishing lines. These plants were likely cannabis sativa - prized for its strong fibers - a thesis supported by a Japanese prehistoric cave painting which appears to show a tall spindly plant with cannabis’s tell-tale leaves.

    “Cannabis was the most important substance for prehistoric people in Japan. But today many Japanese people have a very negative image of the plant,” says Takayasu.

    In order to put Japanese people back in touch with their cannabis roots, in 2001 Takayasu founded Taima Hakubutsukan (The Cannabis Museum) - the only museum in Japan dedicated to the much-maligned weed.2

    Herb is native to China and Asia.

    Christian missionaries came to Japan and ****ed up game. On hot summer days, 100 plus years ago, women would pull the upper half of their kimono or yukata down to release the t1ts and cool down. Great times.

    But, these Christians told them that showing **** and azz was bad, smoking weed was bad, the ****ed up game for everyone.

    Now, many people become crazy here cuz there are signs, written & unwritten rules, and twisted sexual practices.

                That's really cool. I didn't know Japan had such a deep history with the plant. Whenever I finally get to Japan, I'm putting this museum on my to do list!
