Isekai Kenkokuki - Ch. 67

[HDMI1]

Narcotics are OPIOIDS, hemp is NOT a narcotic. I get it, mommy and daddy always told you all drugs are bad... but your ignorace is YOUR problem

In Japan weed is classed as a heavy narcotic like cocaine, and even taking a single hit and getting caught will ruin your life there.

Since this is written by a Japanese author you should understand why they can't promote it in a series read by other Japanese people.

HDMI1 coming in and "telling him without telling him" that his ignorance is HIS problem...

 

[AlphaFlow]

While "okay", the mistakes and weird choices for words in the translation really devalued the chapter.

 

[TheGodEmperor]

Fool of a Took, there's nothing wrong with hemp and it being legal. Stupid Japanese mindset towards drugs... same with the American mindset towards it lol

for addition it isn't that difficult to setup a system for dealing with addicts, but sadly in the modern world the costs for land and building the facilities are expensive, and regulations would require experts as well as difficult actions. Politicians currently prefer to just sabotage those sort of programs and instead just demonize drug addicts.
Also different groups like to infiltrate rehab centers because that is where people are vulnerable. They use that as an opportunity to convert them to their religion and/or to scam them.

Hang them,cut their head off, boil them, draw and quarter them, whip them, force/slave labour the druggies, put them in stocks, made their bodies as fertilizer, etc. So many ways.

Thanks for the new chapter!

Well you know, from how it looks like Almus (you can say he is the parallel of Romus, from whom Rome was named after) and his kingdom is technically on part of a continent which also looks like a boot (like Italy in our world). Almus is essentially recreating the Roman Empire in their world, and Kirisha is taken from the japanese word "Girisha" which is Greece and like in our history, Greece was a more advanced civilization made of independent city-states (like Kirisha is now in Almus' world).
But we all know that Rome eventually annexed Greece and adopted (eventually propagated) the Hellenistic culture in the Roman territories, so I guess Kirisha will sooner or later will be taken by Almus when he eventually establishes his empire.
To think that Yuria wanting seafood everyday is like a foreshadowing of what things will become in the future.

It's hilarious Japanese will binge drink and chainsmoke without any restraint, but they treat marijuana like it's a death sentence.

NGL, I just figured the Japanese were following America's lead where pot was concerned amd would have lightened up on its restrictions at about the same time. Especially since it's not nearly as destructive as coccine or opium. Hells, tobacco isn't much different and they suck that down by the pack without batting an eye.

While it is a joke. In such old age, what else can you do that is not waste of time?
Look them up for a month and if they still want the drugs just put them to slave labour or something.

Also, very funny seeing the princess who was once the king daughter say such thing. Makes you wonder if she always dropped international incidents when she meet foreigners during father reign

yall going on about drugs here, but you don't even get linen from hemp. You get linen from linseed/flax, and hemp from... hemp. Maybe tetra is high on hemp.
And yeah, salt pans were a thing, even in Britain, which is not a summer resort.

Gotta love it when an off the cuff remark by someone in power can cause a whole country to go into a panic. Lol worthy really.

Maybe author/translator used linen as a shorthand for plant-based textile.

The term linen is also used to categorize cloth by the type of weave.
Not all linen (textile) is made from linen (fibre), it can also be made from hemp or cotton.

"Like the Library of Alexandria"

Not sure if you want to copy that, my dude.

Seriously you have a kingdom, hurry up nad advance to the iron age already. Rush for eletricity and industrial era is a must.

bro needs to not squander the steam engine...

imagine if the romans actually took their steam engine seriously

 

[Grikath]

There's a huge difference between the cannabis cultivars used as recreational drugs and the "industrial" cultivars grown for hemp and seeds.
People trying to smoke the latter are a neverending source of amusement. Pretty high on the "fuck around, find out" scale.

An interesting idea, but unfortunately the Romans didn't have the necessary knowledge to make enough of them to matter. Even in the pre-industrial era there were steam engines pumping water out of mines, but they leaked horribly and needed to be large.

It wasn't until the guy trying to improve guns for hunting figured out how to machine cylinders perfectly that kicked off the industrial era. And they already had precision lathes by then due to hundreds of years of watchmaking. No real standard, but still capable of making high end watches quickly.

I know people call it the dark ages because great civilizations and empires stopped existing in Europe for a while, but the knowledge was never lost, contrary to popular belief. There just wasn't a government big enough to keep doing what Rome did at the height of its legacy.

Oh, also, it's most likely that the great library at Alexandria was mostly empty when it caught fire. Turns out Egypt was in decline before then and had been giving away large portions of the works for political favors. Among other ways to lose "books".

this is comedically false

the romans did have the knowledge to do a lot more than they did, and a lot of theory on stuff created around the age of exploration was thought of during the roman times but their society was far more philosophically dogmatic and did not ever endorse "disruptive invention" that may destabilize the population by adding more poverty by removing a educated class

Tiberius killing the man who "invented unbreakable glass" is a prime example, it's not a story the romans treated as a slight against him but a moral virtue of keeping the needs of the many roman glassmakers over the single inventor
