Petition for the Repeal of the Cannabis Control Law and the Offense of Use
1. Introduction
We strongly urge the repeal of the Cannabis Control Law and the offense of use. It has become evident that these laws are not primarily based on the danger of the substance but rather serve as tools of governance and possibly benefit specific interests. Particularly, the offense of use functions as a means to reinforce these benefits, which not only contradicts social justice but also continues to unjustly restrict the freedoms and rights of Japanese citizens. This situation is significantly out of step with modern values and international trends, and swift legal reform is needed.
2. Historical Background of the Cannabis Control Law
The Cannabis Control Law was introduced to Japan after World War II under the influence of the United States. Prior to the war, cannabis was widely used in Japan for various purposes, including religious rituals and agriculture, playing an important cultural role. However, under U.S. policy during the occupation, cannabis became strictly regulated, with the underlying purpose being governance based on U.S. domestic industry and international interests. As a result, Japan’s historical and cultural background was ignored, and the Cannabis Control Law began to function as a tool for governing the populace.
3. Current Issues
In contemporary Japan, medical cannabis has started to be approved, and there is a growing recognition that the components of cannabis are not necessarily dangerous to society. However, strict regulations, including the offense of use, still remain, and this is seen as benefiting specific interest groups or parties, which is a significant issue.
• The Irrationality of Health Risks and Penalties: The health risks associated with cannabis are not particularly higher than those of other legal substances (e.g., alcohol and tobacco). Nevertheless, imposing penalties through the offense of use is irrational and may, in fact, be used to protect certain interests.
• Law as a Tool of Governance: The Cannabis Control Law and the offense of use were established as means of governing the populace, with the structure of interest-based governance still maintained today. The continued existence of these laws in modern times indicates that the government or certain interest groups are using them as tools of control.
• Discrepancy with International Trends: As many countries are reevaluating cannabis regulations, moving towards legalization or relaxation of controls, Japan’s continued strict regulations not only lead to international isolation but also preserve domestic interest-driven governance.
4. Current Status and Challenges of Medical Cannabis Approval
The approval of medical cannabis indicates a shift in societal evaluation of cannabis. However, the continued existence of the Cannabis Control Law and the offense of use, along with strict regulations on non-medical use, reflects an underlying intent of governance and interest-based manipulation. This leads to the unjust punishment of ordinary citizens, while specific parties benefit from the situation, perpetuating an unfair scenario.
5. Reasons for Repeal
For the above reasons, we demand the repeal of the Cannabis Control Law and the offense of use for the following reasons:
1. Unjust Focus on Components and Interest-Driven Structure: The Cannabis Control Law was not enacted based on the danger of the components but rather for governance and interest-driven purposes, and thus, its legitimacy has been entirely lost.
2. Contradiction with Medical Cannabis Approval: Given that medical cannabis is now approved, the strict regulations on non-medical use are contradictory and can only be explained as interest-driven manipulation benefiting specific groups.
3. Disregard for Cultural and Historical Background: Cannabis has played an important role in Japan’s culture and history, but current laws ignore this, being used instead for governance and interest-driven purposes.
4. Discrepancy with International Trends and Strengthening of Interest-Driven Governance: As countries worldwide reassess cannabis regulations, Japan’s continued strict regulation leads not only to international isolation but also strengthens interest-driven governance domestically.

現状大麻取締りは利益誘導にしかなっていません
CBDの純度の規制が厳しくなった事が要因です
成分制限や取り扱い規制は薬にの範囲の事です
大麻草はハーブですから成分のみで判断は矛盾しか無いのです、大麻草自体に規制や実刑を課す危険な成分はありません。
全て現状は利益誘導の理由となっています
使用罪を作る事で!
政府は作り話しにオヒレをつけ過ぎて
過剰な法律を作ってしまいました。酷い有り様です。
