Taima, Afghani and Lambsbread
The growing in Japan is quite stealth. As you probably
know, Japan is very tiny, with very little arable land. So outside growing
is rather difficult unless you are FAR out in the country. My friend planted
some on the island where his grandfather and only 5 other families live,
left it, and went back to get it at harvest. It was pretty good, but he had
to harvest it a bit early because the area where the island is is quite far
away and he can only fly there, and then go to the island by boat. ( It
probably takes 6 hours door to door.
It's kind of hard to grow indoors,
unless you can lock your growing cabinet or room up, because landlords can
pretty much come in when you're not there (even thought they shouldn't and
discover your garden. Many buildings have an area on the rooftop for
excercise, gardening, and storage...so I know a few people that hide their
plants amongst other plants, such as tomatoes. Most Japanese (especially
older ones) aren't familiar with MJ, so they wouldn't know it if they saw
it. It is very illegal, but there are worse problems like 'kakuseizai' (I
guess you would call this Japanese speed that is injected) that threaten
society, so the police don't actively look for MJ (but if they find you with
it you're in trouble!) and unless you're dumb (or a dealer or even more
conspicuous, a foreign dealer) it's hard to get caught. My friends and I
would usually go to the rooftop or in a big park at night, or around an
outside grill restaurant to smoke (because the smell blends in!) If we do in
public, we have to remove tobacco from cigarretes and insert the MJ, so it
doesn't look suspicious.
MJ has become quite popular in the last few years in Japan, because Reggae
music, dreadlocks, and the 'Rasta style' has become very popular among the
youths. One of my friends says 'mon' at the end of all his sentences, even
in Japanese! Most of the stuff that you can buy is smuggled in by Iranian
immigrants, and what they bring is mostly indica's like Afghani or hash. I
don't really like either because they make me tired. My friend came back
from Jamaica and had brought about 250 grams back by vacuum-sealing it and
then sticking it in a dark-colored duty-free liquor bottle! It was the best
I've ever had.
