Why do nips portray ganja and other drugs so badly in anime?

Why do nips portray ganja and other drugs so badly in anime?
>Smoking and getting shitfaced is Okay in anime
>Marijuana will kill you in seconds

Literally something written by a 14 years old

I agree, nasu is a hack

because you go to jail at least 1 year if they caught you smoking or with any quantity. drugs are forbidden in asia, and very badly accepted

Because weed is for loser man children

People die when you kill them.

Drugs are for kids and the retarded.

That thing would kill you due to Lio's blood, not because it was deadly by itself.

>I never partied in the college starter pack

DUDE

Sure an adult like you can write better right user?

is right. Nasu literally wrote KnK in high school. He also admitted it was his shittiest work in an interview many years ago. It only took off because Ufotable did a good job at adapting the novels (except with Oblivion Recorder), and because TM was already a successful waifu empire, although it now pales in comparison with THE YEAR OF FATE

1) it was magic
2) Drugs are illegal and are viewed terribly by nip society in general. So there's a lot of myths and shit nips don't bother to investigate about them
Seriously, you fuckers should stop being so triggered because they get drugs wrong

Drugs are super forbidden in Japanese (and most asian in general) society, mostly due to fallout from the Opium Wars. As a result, few people have a really accurate grasp of what's what regarding them, and thus the pop culture presents them wildly inaccurately.

Nasu was 25 when he published it, I have hard time believing that he waited ten years to publish it or that he wrote it over ten years

>Seriously, you fuckers should stop being so triggered because they get drugs wrong
They can't, drugs are a really important part of a degenerate's worthless life.

KnK was rewritten, secondary

Because marijuana is bad and will kill you in seconds

Basically this. Though in my experience they tend to avoid drugs at all or make up fictional ones.

Why make a shit big deal out of drugs when their magic and bullshit powerlevels were far more trippy than any other industrial grade weed ever?

>Marijuana will kill you in seconds
But it's true, what's wrong with portraying it like it is.

japan is only down for meth and a bit of sniff

Government propaganda. It's not really any different from the way drugs are portrayed in a lot of American media, especially older stuff from the 80s and 90s.

>ganja and other drugs so badly
Not just anime but drug is illegal and always been bad stuff here in Asia not just Nips.

10 times more potent than weed... I mean that would still fuck you up pretty good.

I rarely, rarely get high or drink; it's been years. But I still remember when I took a few too many hits & really wanted that ride to end. I couldn't imagine what that x10 would be like, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be fun.

>It's not really any different from the way drugs are portrayed in a lot of American media, especially older stuff from the 80s and 90s

Is that the reason Burgur society went downhill after that? I mean from 3rd person POV, your country is full of degenerate right now, you knows? it's not even someone propaganda either.

I used to work with a japanese girls school when I was at uni, we'd exchange english/japanese practice constantly. I was a dumb kid back then, smoked a lot of pot, occasionally that came up in conversation. their response consistently was "isn't that dangerous?" and usually surprise and discomfort.

also randomly, literally 90% of the time when you ask a japanese girl what her favorite pokemon is she will say "pikachu", and if you tell her that's not allowed she will say "purin"(jigglypuff) or "pippi"(clefairy). one time this chick said wartortle and blew my mind.

japan
>pro-tobacco; anti-weed

US of A
>anti-tobacco; pro-weed
>Same life expectancy as Palestine

Where do you live? Here in New Zealand our trash weed is on par with some of the "high quality" trash they sell in American dispensaries. It is always fun to smoke with Americans as they are never prepared.

I'm surprised they didn't execute you for being the biggest loser in Japan. How'd you escape that?

Stop posting images out of context idiot. The drug is imbued with fucking magic blood

Some are ok and some are just plain bad, like getting a dependency on them to not live your life unimpeded. Those little things portrayed in anime, MJ laced with chemicals, were the kind that screwed you up a little and the other ones fucked you up. OP is just one of those drugfags that believes all drugs should not be banned, not for any real social or political issue, but simply so he can get easy access to it. That kind of thinking for a hollow self satisfaction, makes the drug community worse than those found on /mlp/.

this was in the states. our uni was next door to a japanese girl's english student campus. wasn't as fun as it might sound, non-americanized japanese are a very closed community that don wan no trabble. and if I ever get accused of being a loser in japan all I have to do is slip on an iwo jima flag raising shirt and hop on a skateboard and zip away.

But Nico was on drugs the whole time

these japs need that gas in their lives. It would help with there 120 hr a week work schedule.

He's literally speaking about magic weed that he was planting with the help of a centuries year old monk wizard

Why on earth would a magus need such kicks?

It literally says ten times more potent than marijuana, not just plain old marijuana.

There is literally nothing wrong with marijuana when it is consumed by an adult.

If you're not addicted to it, it's the addict part that's dangerous not the drug itself.

DUDE

>Tales of Berseria
>Velvet is 19 years old
>she murdered thousand people
>"I can't drink. I'm underage"
This is more annoying.

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE

Alcohol is humanity's friend (and also used in cooking), and tobacco is too big of an industry and not dangerous enough to get rid of. Your stuff is slightly nastier than tobacco, not nearly as widespread and useless for almost everything other than getting stoned.

Be fair, she hasn't murdered thousands yet when she'd said that

Though she had already started a prison riot by then at the very least so she's not quite squeaky clean

Pot heads are degenerate subhumans. Anyone that unironically smokes weed past the age of 16 should be lynched.

>Alcohol is humanity's friend
>tobacco is too big of an industry
That's just our excuse to keep them with us because we're too addicted to it. Is it dangerous? Of fucking course but fuck it because we're in love with it, we're just bunch abusive wives.

>weed is nastier than fucking cigarettes
Fuck outta here. I dont even smoke the stuff but is infinitely better for you than cigs.

...

Yup. Depictions of drug use on TV are, if not forbidden, at least so frowned upon they might as well be. What use of actual drugs you do see is typically in OVAs and movies.

Long answer: China and Japan both have a troubled history with Opium which gave rise to strict drug laws and a culture that wholeheartedly supports those laws. They approach the issue of drug control not as just a 'it's bad for you' but a 'this constitutes a threat to our sovereignty and the continuity of our race and culture,' because historically the trade Opium trade was a weapon imperial european powers used to subvert foreign powers they considered desirable for colonization. The Opium trade in China specifically is one of several factors that gave rise to their peculiar off-brand of communism.

Or, it could be:
USA
>guns everywhere
>low life expectancy

Japan
>no-one has guns
>high life expectancy

>Swiss
>Lax drug laws
>Guns everywhere
>high life expectancy

Elves live long lives.

>get sent to prison for shitposts

Considering how drug-fueled communities in burgerland fare compared to those that is taught by friends and family not to take them, I will said the chinks and nips got it right.

No wonder they overpower everyone.

>Swiss
>universal healthcare
>high life expectancy
>Japs

>Americans
>no universal healthcare

Really makes you think.

I smoked with a guy who'd never done it before, and he asked about overdosing. I replied, "oh, you haven't heard?" and he went white as a sheet until I explained that it wasn't a concern with marijuana.
Same guy asked me about anime once, so I showed him Poemy. That was his 'Nam.
Some people are pretty sheltered, and Japs are pretty damn sheltered about drugs.

To be honest, the talk about opium just reminds me of that small arc in Kenshin

Why would they bother keeping that line in?

That explains why the Phillipinos are so mad that some people would dare enjoy getting high.

>tfw child soldiers in FFVIII were drinking and killing like nobody's business back in 1999
What the fuck happened?

I've read plenty of manga in which weed is depicted just as it would be in western media. The usual "it's far better than smoking cigs" schlock and whatnot, maybe try reading something that is not aimed at literal children and you might come across some more adult-oriented themes.

>:)
I feel like we'd be getting rid of the wrong person.

Where do you think we are, faggot ?

>US
>Low life expectancy
What? Unless you live in thrash places like California, Detroit, New York, Miami, Flordia, any of the coast places really except Washington. Your life expectancy in the US average is around 80 years and with the way medicine is going past that.

That's four years less than the top countries.

>forbidden in japanese

Asians fucking hate drugs. It's basically smoking and alcohol only. Everything else is purge tier.

If you actually think that America's annual ~10,000 firearm homicides have even the slightest effect on the life expectancy statistics of a nation of 320,000,000 people, you're a complete and utter moron.

Japan's annual suicides absolutely dwarf our suicides and homicicides (of all types) combined.

silly japs...

This

nanny state and all the illegal stuff is controlled by the yakuza, can you thing about a more cucked country than japan? because they can't even watch uncensored porn

I could maybe believe you if you provided a source other than Anonymous poster.

weed can also be used for cooking and is way healthier than alcohol and tobacco. Just try it with your body.

>just because two poisons are legal we should have another!
What kind of shitty argument is this supposed to be.

The more we learn about cannabis and the effects of drugs in general on the human brain (neuroscience is still laughably infantile compared to other medical fields), the more dangerous it becomes. There is now a casual link between brain damage and cannabis abuse.

Almost every single recent mass killing, "islamic" or "neo-nazi" or "general" has a link to a mind-altering drugs whether it's cannabis abuse (Nice truck), steroids abuse (Anders) or "anti-depressants" (Charlestown)/(Japan mental patient stabbings). I cannot possibly imagine why this link isn't being investigated while the billionaire drug lobbies regularly meet with members of various governments.

>EOPs take a bad translation at face value

Lio is talking about HIS marijuana, which is a special, magically enhanced strain that was given to him by Souren.

For the firearm homicides? FBI Uniform Crime Report. They publish one every year, it compiles all manner of crime statistics. It's free on their .gov site in HTML or .pdf

Nailed it. There has never in the history of a nation been a drug fueled community that did anything right except for alcohol because god bless drunks.

America is actually more dangerous than even some third world countries. You would be safer in some south american countries than in america, hell even north korea is safer than america.

...

> Cannabis is dangerous
that's just like, your opinion, man. Now close down your fascist borders because immigrants are people too regardless of who they are and what they have done and they make our great nation great

Drugs are bad, m'kay

Let me just link you a traffic accidents under alcohol infuence.

> Unironically building a nation on personal vehicle transit systems
The number of hours wasted on the road which can not be put to more functional use such as education or work or leisure account for more wasted lives than actual deaths caused by all accidents put together.

How is that relevant to my post? And public transportation takes time anyway.

Weed destroys productivity. Work is all Japman need and make babies.

>universal healthcare
I am pretty sure that Japan has shitty healthcare in comparison to most european nations.
The gun violence is also overestimated, the largest ammount of gun deaths are suicides.
Secondary smoke from cigarettes is more deadly than guns.

Japan is so healthy because they aren't fat fucks.

You're crying about eggs breaking in a world where the primary means of moving eggs is throwing them from A to B.

>DUI is ok, people die anyway

Consider those violence statistics on a per capita basis instead of being a fucking idiot.

> Solve the problem by attacking the symptoms
DUI isn't an issue of UI. It's an issue of the only viable option being D.

Tell me a recipe that uses weed not as a gimmick but as a legit ingredient. Now look in your recipe book and see how every fifth meal is cooked with wine or other type of alcohol. Uncomparable, especially considering all weed can be used as is as a spice (a trash spice at that, it's kinda gross), whereas booze is often used to make certain conditions and alcoholic content of it is often left in trace amounts in the final product.

Unless there's a legit recipe other than weed brownies and shit, it's a waste of weed.

What did Elevens think of Breaking Bad?

Can't wait to make a weed sauce!

>weed can also be used for cooking
C'mon, user. When weed is used for cooking it's for making edibles.

cannabis seed milk, 0% THC just like almond milk and as spice it work mostly in fish and chicken but the types with low THC

> Enjoying the flavor of grass
Sheeple not welcome

>He actually believes it's hard to get any kind of drugs in China
