Pot a long way from legalization
Local Japanese News In English

Despite easing of regulations elsewhere in the world, Japan's laws remain draconian. Unlike some countries, including the Netherlands where possession of up to 5 grams of marijuana would be considered a negligible amount and overlooked, Japanese police made about 2,000 pot-related arrests a year in the four-year period from 2005 to 2008. Some of those who possessed 0.5 gram of the drug have received suspended prison sentences of 10 months, while possession of more than 5 grams commonly results in a suspended sentence of one year at the least.
