There are many Japanese and foreign growers living in Japan. Overgrow has an overgrow asia forum which is frequented by many Japanese growers and growers from other parts of asia.

Indoor equipment is hard to find but there are a few specialist suppliers around and seeds are legal in Japan because of Hemps connection with the Shinto religion. It is used in many shinto ceremonies.

check out overgrow for all the details.
you can find information of wild plants growing in Hokkaido.

i did have some japanese strains untill my house got bumrushed by the cops last year but most of the grass in the area that i live in are all prety good. i doubt that you would be able to buy anything lately though. even the top dealers have started selling joints instead of by the gram. and the prices would make any gaijin want to go back to his/her home country.

im not sure how much they injected the mouse with but from what i could tell the mouse looked realy blazed. it lost all controll of balance and had little to no sense of direction. then the mouse started panicing and attacking its own tail and spinning around in circles. about half an hour later it flipped over on its back and died.

peace

read about japanese marijuana here, taima.org
marijuana in japan has most always been used for making hemp so the native strains are mostly sativa i think. i have yet to find any native indica.
if you need weed in japan all that you have to do is make the right connections and win some trust here and there. i am smoking pot about every day and i have never realy expirenced any sort of drought yet.
and us hip hop kids usually carry but we dont just go advertising that we do. if you want to make a connection, offer to roll a joint with the person and then start talking business. works every time :chin:

and it's not just Shinto religion that uses hemp.......I was told the big thick rope that surrounds the sumo "mat" is hemp too...

and next time you are in a Japanese restaurant, open the top off the bottle of dry red chilli powder and you will see big fat hemp seeds in there too as well as sesame seeds ( well, at least in the J-restaurants around here)..I guess the seeds help prevents the powder lumping?...I've tried germinating those seeds from the chilli powder for a laugh and none popped.

btw does anyone have the email address or web page of some head shops in Tokyo? please post or pm me! thanks

here is all the tokyo grow shop info i have garnered so far from the last two years

http://www.afterhours25.com/

cool shop with cute girls in ueno called spacecake. carry HESI (not so good) nutes and is the only place in japan i've ever found FLORA NOVA nutes...was put off by the price at first, but used it for my last grow for a marked difference in quality and yield. also sell seeds but WAY too pricey.

best place for seeds is a grow shop about two blocks east of the entrace to shinjuku gyoen. i cannot remember the name, but it has a prominent display of CHich and chong and is quite obviously a grow shop. i think they do tatoos in the basement if you feel like combining errands for the day. they are often sold out, but they will order whatever seeds you need and have reasonable prices for ten feminized seeds.

There is a proper grow shop in shibuya about a 15 minute walk from the south exit...it's called Shaman grow shop or something...carry entire HESI line and have cool tube growlights for sale. I was given a map from the lady at the second shop i mentioned.

all rather general, i realize, but i am stoned so forgive me. I hope it helps. ganbaremasu growers of japan...if you dream it, green will come :joint:

Click to expand...

im pretty sure there isnt a native strain of either indica or sativa from what im lead to believe is that now all strains have atleast 25percent (damnit wheres the percent sign on japanese keyboards?!?) of the other strain. on a side note, if u happen to live near the osaka area, lets blaze a fatty! im gettin bored of being the only smoker here.. not even the dude i get it from smokes herb only shabu? (i think its meth, looks lyk lil crystals) which seems to be the most popular drug of choice newayz gluck with ur grow n stay low!
ps. did they throw u in jail after u got raided? wut would happen to a foreigner getting caught?

happy smokin

No, it's not legal to import seeds. You can do it, and they'll likely get through, but it ain't on the up and up.

you can possess seeds, sell seeds.

as soon as you germinate them, though, you're breaking the law.

(it might have said this earlier in the thread) you can buy them at head shops in tokyo and a few other places for way too much money, also.
