Cannabis used to be the second most-grown plant in Japan, after rice. Today most Japanese people don’t know that the plant is a key part of Shinto rituals. We tell the secret history of how the USA led Japan to have some of the strictest weed laws on earth, with the help of Japanese activist Naoko Miki. Plus, if cannabis is illegal but sacred in Japan. in Canada, it’s legal and big business. Our producer Karen Habashi goes to the Vancouver Lift Expo to explore the bleeding edge of the pot market.
