Seriously, if you're a celeb over there and caught smoking a joint, your career is basically over.

Even the infamously prudish U.S. is more accepting of it.

I'm guessing it's a leftover of U.S, imperialism, like how all their porn is still censored.

    Because Japan is a nation dream of every little nerd like Ben Shapiro. The norm is socially conservative, everyone has the same dumb hair cut, women are to be gentle and subservient, nationalism and obsession with being modern samurai in a suit. The worst thing you can do is fall out of line, ie taking a drug that someone is not profiting right now from.
