I am still utterly WTF at the use of "Hemp Poison."
It's a trope that isn't as common any longer, but still a ridiculous one; Japan has a "Zero Tolerance" policy regarding cannabis, and the Japanese Government STILL claims that it can make you crazy, citing yellow journalism from the USA in the 1920s... like making claims that Marijuana Crazed foreigners (mostly the dark-skinned ones) will be driven to rape and murder from one puff of the Devils Lettuce...
It'sstupid an outdated trope, with massively racist historically questionable roots...
(... kinda like Japan, actually... 🤔)
I just felt that people should know; I'm DEFINITELY not asking passive-aggressively for some poor TL to change it, cos that's stupid.
But it's worth knowing, I think.
