      Tbh, I don’t expect any culture that considers tattoos to be taboo to be cool with weed.

        Yeah, they have some nice things going for them but Japanese culture still very patriarchal and conservative overall

            That plus a massive amount of inherent isolationism plus an extreme birth shortage and an already very aged population.

            The writing is on the wall in many ways unless major, unprecedented changes were to be made. Japan in a hundred years will be unrecognizable without them.

      They are some of the most repressed puritans. I would always try to get my friend to leave work early (in reality on time) so we could do something but they will not stand up for themselves. Have to put in the minimal 10hrs per day in a 40hr workweek or you are a slacker.

      They’re preoccupied trying to figure out how to get their population to stop disappearing.
