アメリカでは近年、「大麻はアルコールほど危険ではない」と公言 したオバマ米大統領を*筆頭に、大麻の社会的受け入れ体制が強ま っている。2013年にはコロラド州・ワシン*トン州で嗜好品と して合法化され、そのほか多くの州で嗜好／医療目的の大麻規制を 許容*する動きが。その一方、ここ日本では今なお「ダメ、絶対！ 」のスローガンの下、厳罰の*括りにある大麻。

これまで大麻の主成分として認知されていたのは精神面に影響を与 えるとされる「THC*」（テトラヒドロカンナビノール）だが、 近年注目を集め始めたのが別の成分「CBD」*（カンナビジオー ル）だ。「CBD」は「THC」と異なり、精神を活性化させる効 果（*いわゆる〝ハイ〟）が一切なく、医療分野での活躍が期待さ れている。

日本の厳しい大麻取締法においても「CBD」を規制する項目はな く、そのため個人輸入*が少しずつ始まっている。VICEは今回 、CBDオイルを摂取し始めてから症状が劇的*に回復した末期が ん患者の女性、そして生後10週間から難知性てんかんに苦しみ、 ３歳*という若さにして脳外科手術を経験した少女を 密着取材。

日本史における医療大麻の１ページが、今ここに刻ま れる——。


While the West carrys on its steady course towards legalisation, piggy backing on the ever-increasing awareness of marijuana's medicinal properties, Japan's cannabis laws remain steadfastly harsh. However, a recently discovered loophole allows for the non psychoactive compound, CBD, to be imported and consumed within Japan. CBD which has numerous health benefits is extracted from the stalk of the plant, whereas Japanese law only forbids use of the plant's leaves and flowers.

Shirasaka, head member of Taima Houdou Center, a legalisation group and advocate for medicinal cannabis, and the man who discovered the CBD loophole is currently awaiting trial for marijuana possession but plans to fight his case on the basis of cannabis's remarkable therapeutic properties. We went to visit Shirasaka as he prepares for his trial. We also visit terminally ill cancer patient, POP, a woman to claims CBD has helped her live years beyond her prognosis, and witness a family with a severely epileptic child try CBD for the first time with incredible results.

jj... is it really persecuted there? its been 20yrs since last visiting, but i remember a guy was selling what appeared to be shrooms & weed... from a fold out briefcase/stand on the street corner. cant recall the district specifically, but one of the heavily trafficked areas. just seemed the police were truly public servants/good relations officers... they helped people, not policing them/hunting em down. this is all from impression... but would've thought that as long as u keep it to yourself, no one would come looking for you (growing). curious as to what the weed scene is really like in japan...? is it popular even?
