Obviously not enough! They're still poor! I don't think you're applying yourself! |

The articles say 覚醒剤 (stimulants), but don't seem to be any more specific than that. |

How about you not tell other people how to spend their hard earned money. That has nothing to do with you. |

This thread just reinforces my notion that stoners are some of the most annoying people out there. They can't just toke up in peace, they have to remind you they're stoners and they are going to go get high. And be proud of it.
Media reflects the culture. Japan's not a drug-infested rat's nest like some other countries are so I don't see why they'd focus on drugs so much in their series. Same with alcohol. Despite the fact alcohol is easily obtained by minors they also don't have an underage drinking problem. It's just not an issue in Japan. |

You guys dont know dick about drugs. dont talk about it unless you've done it yourself otherwise your opinion mean shit. You grow up your entire lived and having society or the government preach to you about how bad it is theres always a negative stigma associated with drugs. Learn to think for yourselves. In short all the crackheads in the spotlight ruin it for the casual users

This isn't about smoking your joint in peace. This is about someone who is kidnapped and caged for something they ingest.
The issue of drugs and alcohol does come up frequently enough, though not focused on. For illegal drugs all the anime and most manga I presume just give the usual spiel rationalizing use of force. If what you say is true about alcohol, then there is an inconsistency or hypocrisy in the sentiment "media reflects culture" when in fact, every single show disclaims or warns against minors -- which include 18 and 19 year olds in college (see Steins;Gate and more so Moyashimon) -- drinking alcohol. |

It's training. Once they get into the workforce, they'd be forced to go drinking nomikai, after work hours, unpaid, out of their own pocket, whether they like to or not, away from their families, filling the last train with drunken salarymen. |

OK, I just listened to NHK World News today, and I just heard the drug has been confirmed to be the designer drug MDMA. I'll quote the article (since NHK World news article don't stay there for long):

"What's the big deal man? It's just X man, legalize it maaaaaaannnnn."
Yeah, I don't think most places are quite on board for brain-melting raver drugs just yet. Well, at least it makes people who automatically assumed it to be pot become the fool. |
