Foreigners to Japan. Be Careful!

the christiania dealings are not exactly "legal" XD

they're just sort of accepted and almost legal... like an odd stalemate between the inhabitants of christiania and the cops =P

hehe, yeah, but us people (inhabitants of Copenhagen) consider it legal, as the police just stands by...
however, the current government wants to make it completely ILLEGAL, that is why inhabitants of Copenhagen (and people interested in the unique life of Christiania have demonstrated "bevar Christiania")....

I drive by Christiania almost everyday, (not to buy, but it is right next to my workplace almost), and see "spooky people" selling pot and all sorts.... hehe. I think if the Government makes it illegal to sell pot in christiania, the sellers would just move to another part of copenhagen....
 
sorry

hmm so my govrnment banned you from my country,well thats bad but thats how our justice system is,and before you go anywhere else you should study another countrys laws and customs before you go cause you can get in alot of trouble,you didnt study our law before you came,and well even tho
ignorance of the law isnt an excuse,you should of asked some one what our laws was and you wouldnt have been banned,and depending on how serve your crime was the highest bann pennalty is 10 years,but if it was a capital offense you would have been permanetly banned.sorry bout what happaned to you tho, :sorry:

Yes, but I don't think anybody has managed to get two red balls and survive.
 
the stuff is practicly legal in Toronto I see people smokin the stuff in public, the cops wont bother you if you have small amounts of it with you, because they have better things to do like fighting the Triad. Well Koch it is your fault for not knowing the countries laws, you should have been more smart about things and sorry to say you are an F'n idiot! LOL you actually had the sh-it mailed to you? What did you think would happen? That the Japanese government wouldn't know? You deserved what happened to you and I have no remourse for you what so ever. Oh well to bad you wont be feeling the touch of a sweet, beautiful girl in Japan for the rest of your life Ok now that I'm done flamming ya we all make dumb mistakes God knows I've made stupid ones to we are all human so don't get down on yourself. It seems to me you learned your lesson, hey there is always Thailand which I think is lots better then Japan. Take care.

i've seen a documentary on the japanese prison system and the death row they run up there. it doesn't seem too good... sometimes not even very democratic. well i've learnt my lesson - don't get put into jail.
 
At the airport in Lahore Pakistan there is a sign behind the ticketing counter that says "IF YOU ARE CAUGHT WITH ILLEGAL DRUGS YOU WILL BE EXICUTED"

I wonder what happens if you see this sign when you arrive, remember that you have a bit of marijuana in one of your suitcases & turn that in directly. Will the custom officers be happy?
 
Just don't pack any drugs with you on flights period!!! It's just plain stupid.
 
I say Koshiso brought it upon himself. The first thing my "Law and Governance" professor told us the first time we met was "Ignorantia legis no excusar" or "Ignorance of the law excuses no one". I was wondering why he resorted to pot in the first place aren't there drugstores in Japan or couldn't he see a doctor if he needed something with prescription?

Who would imagine that they would have the drug dogs sniffing mail from The Netherlands?
 
Alchohol consumption only renders those who drink it stupider than they were when sober. Marijuana has the potential to open your mind to new ways of thinking. Which do you think is more dangerous to government?

Also, I try not to mistake what the law says for morallity. Just because the it's illegal to do something, doesn't make it "wrong." I'm not, though, condoning the general use of drugs - I just don't think that prohibition is consistent with freedom.

Pakistani customs will have AK47's pointed at you faster then you can say Samosa. You will be sent to jail to await your execution date. I know because my uncle is a lawer in Pakistan.

That's what I expected.

Then it's pretty useless to set up these signs where people arrive. Tooooo late!

I guess the Pakistani's like warning you before you die LOL! I compare it to the customs officer at Narrita showing you those pictures of guns and other obviously illegal things and asking you if you have any in your baggage LOL

Yet at any hobby/electronics store, any number of ridiculously realistic replica air rifles can be purchased without any type of hesitation. Ironic.

So it just baffles my mind how a country with an obvious fear of firearms can have no trouble buying replicas of those fears.

Ah well.

Presence of fear doesn't equal a lack of fascination.

Having grown up in a house full of various firearms, I've always taken them for granted. So it always amazes me how many Japanese I meet have an amazing fascination with them.
 
I think the point may be that if you control firearm sales you should also control realistic replica sales. After all I doubt that while your bank is being held up it would be a very good idea to say "Er, would you mind firing a shot so we can be sure that's a real gun?"

The thing is, though, that real firearm control has been such an overwhelming success in Japan that they don't get their panties in their crack over replicas.

You think everybody would just assume they're replicas because they couldn't have got hold of the real thing?

Actually a decade or so ago I was walking back from Surrey University when someone I think was 'lacking in accomodation while benefiting from care in the community'* confronted me waving around something that looked like a submachine gun and threatening to 'shoot me dead'.

[EDIT - back]
As it happened he'd been 'firing' it before and the very plastic-fake sound didn't leave me inclined to dive behind cars for cover (not that I suppose that really works too well outside of films ...)

* e.g. Chucked out on the streets and not taking the meds.
