Japan is crazy strict about drug possession.Isn't one year for weed possession really strict?
I bet the last one is because of tax evasion.
except if you google "weed possession penalty" the first result show that in many states in the US "Possession of marijuana is punishable by up to one year in jail and a minimum fine of $1,000 for a first conviction. For a second conviction, the penalties increase to a 15-day mandatory minimum sentence with a maximum of two years in prison and a fine of up to $2,500"Japan is crazy strict about drug possession.
My question is how did she even manage to get weed in the first place?
It's not simply weed possession. She was caught by a police buying her weed, so at the very least she was possessing weeds for the purpose of trafficking, which has a maximum of penalty of up to 7 yrs and a 2 mil yen fine. Even a simple weed possession is already up to 5 yrs. 1 year in prison is already a very lenient punishment for her.Isn't one year for weed possession really strict?

so for repeat offender like her, 1 year seem light.
Repeat offender? Trafficking? Where the fuck are you even getting this cause none of that is even implied here.It's not simply weed possession.

she was caught by a cop pretending to buy her weed, which means she was selling them. That's pretty much the definition of trafficking.Repeat offender? Trafficking? Where the fuck are you even getting this cause none of that is even implied here.
The panel where she got caught literally say that she's a repeat offenderRepeat offender? Trafficking? Where the fuck are you even getting this cause none of that is even implied here.
So, checked this a bit and it's actually she got caught by cops WHILE buying her weed. The cop was in full uniform and all. She wasn't trafficking, but this is indeed a repeat offense. She actually got a slap on the wrist. The max sentence for first time offenders is 5 years and for repeat offenders 10 years. She can't be a trafficker because the MINIMUM sentence for those is five years (max is 20). Japan is kinda hardcore because you can get up to one year just for owning an excessive quantity of paint thinner. Then again, here in Indonesia we execute drug traffickers.she was caught by a cop pretending to buy her weed, which means she was selling them. That's pretty much the definition of trafficking.
