Why Japan deserves legalized cannabis—SOON

[nikto]

2. Thanks for the info...

I didn't know the exact date.

But do you really think US Gov't and US Corporate influence was ended, or even weakened by that deadline?

I don't.

Case-in-point:

Even as late as the 1960s-70s, General Electric pressured The Japanese to place the
then-planned new Fukushima Reactors #1 thru #4 OFF an existing 100-ft berm/hill and right down next to the sea.

Guess which 4 reactors were destroyed on 3-11? You guessed it--Reactors #1, #2,#3 and #4--Hit broadside
by the tsunami.

The Japanese wisely (not under the influence of General Electric this time) later built Reactors #5 and #6
on top of a high berm, and farther back from the water.

Guess which Reactors weren't damaged?
Yup----#5 and #6.

It's all here:

So actually, I don't think it matters very much that the official occupation had ended
the year prior to the illegalization of cannabis.

It is very clear that high-level influence/pressure was still exerted by the US on Japan
in important political/economic areas, as late as the 1960s-70s.
And so, even bad advice was able to be forced upon the Japanese with Fukushima's construction,
as years earlier was done with the cannabis issue.

So, in actuality, the US is significantly to blame for both Fukushima and illegal cannabis in Japan.
