Japan has probably some of the strictest drug laws in the world. I understand what you are saying about smuggling, but what Japan doesn't have is the underground drug culture that exists in many parts of the world.

Yes, athletes and rock stars do get caught with drugs, and it is often a career-ending scandal.

Your statement "EVERYONE smokes weed" is simply not the case in Japan. Marijuana is considered a hard drug, and culturally it is very taboo. It is considered dangerous and risky behavior.

My point is, if you go to Japan looking for an underground marijuana culture you will likely be disappointed. Most Japanese looking for the desire to smoke weed do so overseas. You can find weed in Japan, but don't expect reasonable prices or the quality, quantity or variety you can find in many other parts of the world.
