Who said they are healthy for goodness sake.
But we all do things that are not healthy. Living in a smog filled city isn't healthy either, but some people don't like the country.

Guess it depends on the groups you hang out with and where you live.
The idea that Japanese might have about Marijuana you paint here is probably right in most areas. That is just from lack of knowledge on the plant. The same ideas Jpaanese have that caffine, tobacco and alcohol, taking in moderation is also very acceptable on the same hand.
I think if the US legalizes it in some fashion I think Japan would soon follow. I get back to you about it in 10 years.
