In Japan drugs are bad but drinking an entire bottle of sake with 8 beers every night.. that's normal.
Those guys were right when they said cocaine can cause harm and ruin your life, however they just had to include marijuana in the sentence. Cocaine and marijuana don’t belong in the same discussion as far as danger goes.
Sake is just too weak for a beverage, I wish Japan had more of distilled stuff
Try Japanese whiskey... Best whiskey there is and expensive too.
Rafael Mekaro for us its weak but to them it’s normal
Rafael Mekaro also what if they drink four bottles of sake a night?
"whether or not they deserve death is... something people might have an opinion about" is the single most japanese answer to a question ive ever heard in my entire life.

Dude with the backpack that said “Ganja” and “maybe you bake it” and “you wanna jump in a river” watch his face! He knows exactly what it is 😂
Micy Leeway why would you jump in a river though? :D

supamariosoniku bro what? Indica is sleep medicine, sativa gives you stupid ideas
Weed doesn’t make you jump in a river idiots
XD- Backwoods nothing makes anyone do anything, but when ur high u get stupid ideas, and you’re more likely to act on those ideas when ur high because stupid = funny
I cracked up laughing when he said "ganja"
He knows well what it is. I was was laughing too. Thinking he knows..

Japanese people are often stereotyped as being close-minded, but everyone here seems to be treating the issue really fairly. They don't mind hearing the other side of the story and recognize that there's a diversity of opinions. Respect.
it's really the fact that they don't think about it much, eastern asian culture is not in line with substance use like the more southern asian countries such as thailand using kratom and whatnot.
americans on the otherhand, have no real specific "culture", it is a mixture of practically everyone, so they are much more open to the idea of consuming substances, thus i'd argue that is mostly the reason behind a lot of the state legislature making it legal.
Its less of person as it is the society as a whole and their culture is more uniform and close minded.
whoever in your group says japanese people are close minded might just be closed minded themsleves. what a lazy observation to make about another culture ya know?
i dont think them being close-minded is a stereotype,, considering all the philosophical ideas with japanese roots. You may be seeing a more accurate stereotype of them being reserved and less expressive of their opinions, which may make someone appear close-minded.
''maybe you bake it'' he knows things
Linus Bayard exactly what I was thinking ahhaahah
He's definitely a ganja expert.
He was surely just guessing :p

It’s 2019 and we still categorize weed with drugs like cocaine...
Krissir Evolution is slow, unfortunately
There is such a negative stigma behind weed because that’s all we’ve been told as kids but as you grow older you start to have your own thoughts and opinions on stuff.its crazy that they even compared it to cocaine
It’s because both are grow from a plant cocaine is from a coco plant
Its the same schedule of drug as heroin and weed doesnt even kill anyone and it cures cancer.
Dominic James have you ever tried it or just saying out because the brainwashing media says so

I live in Japan, and have seen a documentary about the historical significance of cannabis here. Hemp was the primary fiber used for clothing before the introduction of cotton. It’s fibers were the main ones used for shimenawa, or the special ropes used at Shinto shrines. There are tons of traditional uses of the stalks or fibers locally around Japan, from torches as festivals to tying off a baby’s umbilical cord.
It’s sad that the stigma around weed has effaced the place of honor that hemp had. Now it’s only grown with a permit and heavily policed.
You’d think with all of the health problems faced by alcohol users that a more gentle euphoric could become popular. Here’s hoping that weed’s legalization in some many countries around the world sways Japan in the same direction.
its a really sad irony, weed was super ingrained in the culture of japan for many centuries. shun chan made a really good video about it actually.
Thailand legalizes it. Hopefully other asian countries too
@@slaveobra8648 thai sold their people for money lol
I find it funny that the US actually pushed for the Cannabis Control Act in Japan during their occupation in 1948 after the war. Now a majority of states have legalized cannabis in some capacity, whether that be medical or recreational.
If Japan were to theoretically legalize it that would help with high levels of depression and probably help lower the suicide rates in the big city area (I'm not sure if that's gotten any better or worse).
Great video as always. The one other thing I would have liked to been included is a comparison to alcohol. Japan has a well established drinking culture and like many countries don't really think much of it, but yet weed has this stigma attached.
I think it is pretty sad that drinking large quantities of alcohol is not seen as a dangerous things.
+Life tobelived same for America and many other places really... It's one of the biggest contributor to low life expectancy in Russia
Japanese people are almost forced to go drinking with their boss after work :P
yeah, like saying drinking is your hobby is a pretty accepted thing.
A ton of them do it voluntary. But yes, some are forced and some will face consequences by not joining their company. However, clubbing and going out with friends is still huge in Japan. At least where I live(d) in Tokyo.
Japanese people are so polite and composed I LOVE IT!
yeah and they are also very xenophobic and judgmental I LOVE IT!
yes they got enough of human experiments and mutilation lul
Japan is nearly Muslim free, its great.
Asians are definitely the best minority here in America. I wonder what it is like in a land and culture full of them. respect.
Seeming as this is an objective fact, I would have to agree.
2:28 “My friend told me”, yes we totally trust you girl hahahahaha
"My dawg told me..." is also a good one in these circumstances.
yoi yeah I didn’t believe her until she was explaining it and saying it makes you crazy. After hearing that then I knew that she never have actually smoked weed
well, sometimes it's true. I've never tried marijuana but i have friends that have. Some of us are just not interested in smoking either this or tobacco.
You know what I find so interesting about this is that alcohol consumption (alcohol is also a drug) is pretty normalized in Japan and would even borderline on alcoholism for a lot of citizens but the thought of smoking a herb that also alters your mental state is almost heinous.
isn't that why the alcohol lobbyists used channels to ban Ganja around the world.The state would lose a ton of royalty if people dropped alcohol
absolutely no one:
Japanese people: mmmm mmmmm
I searched for this comment XDDD
It’s so cute when they all do it together
I searched for this comment²
It’s sort of how they say “woww” “interestinggg” & for thr more subtle ones its just to let you know they’re listening to what you’re saying (or agreeing with your statement). It’s like if you’re calling someone and they say “yes yes” “ahh I see” when you’re explaining something to them. just verbal feedback. I do think in some cases it can be a bit much though. I don’t think it’s a problem with any of my Japanese friends though lol
@@thomaskennedy9669 Girls sound too sweet haha
The effects of weed really depend on your mindset and lifestyle choices.
Yea. Tried weed at least 5 times and every single time I had horible nausea and puked. If it would hapend once, ok it was a bad day, but everytime... I'll rather stick to good old friend alcohol
Yep, not for everybody
You probably had a bad strain (for you personally)! Not really pressuring you, but Ive had a similar experience and so have a couple of my friends. There are two types of strains and there are some that are hybrids of the two. Google has some good info about the different types :)
And the weed itself.
Gotta say, it got incredibly strong in the last few decade up to the point where you can trip balls like crazy.
No comparison to what you got like ~15 years ago.
thats actually a myth dark Thoughts, the reason the diffrence is so high is because 20 years ago they measured the THC content of the whole plant and now they just measure the bud`s content.
some of them are pretending to hear some of this shit for the first time.
thats their culture
FActs!
Right or they get punishment after the gov sees the video
@@therockstarbarber68 lol its not like its north korea.
Marijuana saved my life, but if I was living in Japan I would've been just another statistic in their high suicide rate.
It's real sad that they don't know the health benefits of marijuana consumption.
I feel you, man, I'm a Japanese stoner also surviving mentally thanks to weed. I hope you're in a better place now and life improves for you.
@@iyankku Thanx man, your concern means a lot to me, but luckily I grow my own Laughing Buddha and White Widow strains for my epilepsy and yes that means I'm classified as disable thus I'm living off of a social security benefit because finding a job as a "disabled" person is near impossible, that being said, I would still want to move to Japan one day. There's just something about the customs and culture that agrees with me in a very profound way. But I doubt that Japan would welcome a "disabled" person as a citizen which they would have to provide for with a social security benefit.
@@Artorian_Tempest Hey, don't give up on that dream, there are ways if you look, especially given time or working freelance online or something. Once you get that down, take some seeds with you and work your way to a personal supply. Keep it hush hush and out of the way and do you and you'll never look back, man. Good luck out there
@@iyankku Hey, I'm really curious about your situation. How do you manage to get your stuff in a place with such weed restrictions as Japan? Is it hard? Where I live, it's not that hard to get it at all, so I'm curious about how is it in other countries.
@@atsumindesu By not doing more than I need to. A couple carefully picked strains for a couple of plants that I manage carefully. I keep to myself, don't talk about it to anyone, don't really take it anywhere or ever risk it. As far as the world knows I'm not even here so I can carefully keep myself happy and that's enough for me.
I like how they think. I noticed their opinions go beyond just pleasure. They answer thinking about their whole community.
They have that empathy thing I've heard so much about
They also seem to present their opinions in a very polite and non confrontational way. Not like we do here in the US.
Yeah they seem afraid to really speak their mind it's all about collective more so than individual opinion...smdh people want America like that
I get the feeling that they grow up being told not to speak your own opinion.
Yeah I thought the answers would be a lot more harsh and old school. It seems like a lot were saying, "one might have the opinion..." instead of saying they thought this or that. Definitely seems like the taboo is still strong but people realize the hypocrisy once you start logically comparing it to tobacco.
Theyre all so polite that's awesome. I have a friend in the marines that was stationed in Japan and he said if you drop your wallet, people would chase you down just to give it back to you.
That's normal, isn't it?
@Jeff Baker Maybe since Europe was a very chaotic place(plague, war, thieves) our ancestory gave us those traits through time?
This is true. I would move back to Japan in a heartbeat if the opportunity ever presented itself. I miss it. Lived there for 6 years.
its because they are believing in karma that hard.
During the samurai days if you were rude katanas tended to cut people's heads off. politeness is a survival trait in Japan.
I’ve been stoned everyday for 45 years.
Women in muslim countries also get stoned a lot, but I heard in a different way.
hahaha
Hahaha, this comment made my day!
how is it?
Master Roshi Everything’s good.
In my opinion if there's ever a country that should legalize weed it's Japan. With the highest suicide rate due to the extremely stressful corporate life, weed could be a great way to destress and find more clarity at the end of a day.
It is a much better option than drinking heavy and waking up the next day with a hangover, where tomorrow you feel worse than the day before.
true it would be nice to replace drinking with your boss and co workers every week with passing around a joint. probably would create a much kinder understanding work environment. that said I think corporate japan would hate it because it would probably reduce the break neck productivity that is expected. I guess they could try strains that are stimulants tho.
I don't think anyone outside of Japan should be saying they need to legalize weed. Drugs and alcohol seriously will not do anything for you in the long run, they should never be used as a coping mechanism

In response to the closing remarks:
Smoking pot almost never leads to addiction unless you become a Chronic Chronic user (see what I did there), as someone who has smoke pot on and off for about 12 years now I can say I never really get a craving for pot, but rather if my RLS or back issues act up, I smoke a bowl. Then a few days, weeks, or even months later I repeat the process as needed. I am however addicted to nicotine, but that's another story.
And that's the point Alcohol, Tobacco, sugar there's a lot of thing that are legal and you still can get an adiction from it. Weed is not a strong drug and should be legal because wasting time and money for something like that is more harmfull. Espacially for someone who has a strong addiction to pot, We could help them better if the usage is not illegal, there will no shame of the usage if it's become more accepted. Also Legalize weed can protect users from bad influence from dealer and give them a product with some reglementation
Cannabis is only addictive in the same way as gambling, gaming, and jogging. It's a psychological addiction. Meaning, it's all in the mind of a person with an addictive personality. That doesn't mean there's anything addictive about weed, the plant in and of itself is no more addictive than jogging. And an addictive personality who doesn't have access to weed will just find something exponentially more harmful to be addicted to instead. Like cigarettes or beer.
The craving is more psychological and the more problems you have psychologically the more you crave it.
I noticed fresh weed leaves grounded up in a fruit smoothie takes away all my craving, but i dont have that strong of a craving to begin with
@@BigBodyBiggolo Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my weed (Relax officer I'm Canadian eh) but I don't crave it as such. I smoke a heavy blueberry indica daily to help me sleep at night or else I'm up all night wondering why Tarzan didn't have a beard (and now so will you). But when I don't have it, I don't miss it.

Why are Japanese people so reticent to have an opinion? The only one who wasn't afraid to say how she felt is the girl in blue.
Theo I think the Japanese withheld themselves because of the previous dictatorships. Publicly speaking about such topics is seen as a taboo.
It is heavily ingrained in Japanese culture to seek balance and compromise, even in normal conversations. It is a collectivistic culture as opposed to the American individualistic culture. And also when something is illegal or looked down upon, it is taboo and you simply don't talk about it as they really care about saving face. The more you know 😊

5:38 She got the point : "If you say it can be used for medical reasons, I think such punishment might be too harsh"
Japanese people are so circumspect and subtle. I understand the subtext of everything they're saying, but they dance around their real meaning so much, someone not familiar with the culture might mistake them as naive or slow of thought. Then again, Americans have a reputation for being brash and outspoken, so I suppose it's just a matter of perspective.
that's an awesome observation.
i completely get what you're saying. They are very respectful of others opinions and ideas it seems.
they listen and try to understand, they save their own opinions and talk about evidences and not feelings (I assume), in the western world people hate to listen different ideas to their own, only speak opinions and rely little on evidence, it's all about feelings and biases... i find japanese behavior (at least in this video) smarter

"Anything that gets you addicted shouldnt be consumed" So coffee, sugar, candy, meat or even anything else. Not a good argument
Don't forget porn
You can literally get addicted to anything. But that is extremely rare and drugs have much higher chances and also have side effects that depending on the drug may only take a few times or less to create serious health problems. Drugs are not good, and even people that use them can usually recognize are harming them.
@@egg494 that's true why do we have drugs legal like sugar, caffeine, nicotine and alkohol
@@RubbishRebel Nicotine and alcohol are also bad. Smoking undeniable kills you and alcohol isn't that great either. The others aren't comparable, caffeine is non-addictive and doesn't have serious health implications

Japanese people are great but damn you need to shake that emperor imperialism stuff. Government doesn't always have your best interests.
??
Imperialism has nothing to do with it, conservatism has nothing to do with it, it's the lack of information on the subject that causes nations to ban substances like weed or even alcohol in some cases.
They have been protesting vehemently that the government is raising a (small) military power for the first time since ww2
I don't know a lot about their government , but their government has at least learned to avoid war.
Kopitio Bozynski yeah most of the country’s that legalize drugs do it for rehabilitation purposes
I hope the man who said that we shouldn't consume anything that affect our body or gets us addicted doesn't drink any coffee or alcohol
Regardless of his hypocrisy, he still makes a valid point.
It's a true point, but in our lives, we have a certain amount of time and recreational drugs may be behind some of many things we consume today, regardless of food or education or media. People know things are bad for them, and I'm not just talking about drugs and alcohol, but anything else from negative attitudes, to over drinking, to over eating, to eating most things that have preservatives and other chemicals in them and more. People still consume them. You could live the healthiest life in the world down to the anatomical level and walk out the house and get hit by a car, whilst someone smoking and drinking everyday could live to an age older than the average person. It's in this where people decided to live their life how they want. Ideally you'd think not in taking anything 'bad' will be the 'right' way of life, but life is so much more dynamic I guess and people do whatever they want. It's up to us to know the dangers of what's involved and to take things into moderation and control. I know most people around me that smoke cannabis and do it in moderation (still a few joints a week or a joint/vape a day) and they are all fine. I think if we got rid of everything that is bad for us, we'd end up with barely any choice and in this day and age, we are well beyond life with small choice.
tcjwth Humans have been altering our minds since pre-history, some even think that's how we transcended to where we are now. So I don't think the points valid.
Well said. This is exactly how I see life.

vladiinsky I never said they're opinions where anywhere close to correct, I just said they were interesting
Yeah i fully agree, I'm just sad now because when I go there, I'm hoping it won't be too hard to find a guy who sells weed :(
CreoleRep7 from what I can tell, it will be nearly impossible
Jose Lopez Got a few months to hook something up. Let's see how I go 😂
I smoke a lot of weed and am very high watching this just love the Japanese language wow
Hi, i'm just hear to remind you of this comment so you can laugh back at yourself when you were high.
Hi, i'm also here to remind you of this comment so you can laugh at yourself when you were high.
Hi, i'm also here to remind me of this comment so i can laugh at you when im high.
Hi, i'm high

this is a shame, japan had a really advanced culture for growing pot during the edo period, which it seems they have forgotten completely:
Japan was growing for cord and medicine & were growing unique landrace strains which (according to records) were 13-15ft monsters which were sought after
it is a plant the meshes well with the garden culture that permeates the Japanese
America really brainwashed Japan 、
I wish Japan saw weed differently 。
fascinating history! you got a source on this? would love to read more about it.
@@lonersins yeah its actually america ghq that banned weed...pre war no drugs were banned
@@エンエイネイ They banned weed because some business purpose not because health purpose
In the Edo periods, it was also pretty common to have tattoos. But, as always, the government officials of the Meiji era didn't like that
Japan: Goes out and gets shitfaced every night after work with the boss because it's expected and legal.
Also Japan: Japanese people would just abuse marijuana, so it shouldn't be legal.
Maybe they're onto something.
Jabarkas Mayonnaise You don’t have to abuse it. But there’s always a good percentage that do like alcoholics 😂
Alcohol & Tobacco is worse than marijuana. Alcohol & Tobacco could be and are a lot more addictive than weed. U don't get physically dependent on weed imo.
imo? You either do, or you don't.
Perhaps not physically, but you can certainly get psychologically addicted. I have had several friends who really wrecked their lives from becoming complete stoners.
Its not a matter of opinion, it´s a fact.
You can become dependent. Especially if you’re a heavy smoker. Like if you smoke everyday multiple times.
Weed can be really bad when you over do it also...personal experience, so it really depends on how you use it.
Everything in moderation I say and saying Alcohol and Cigarettes are more addictive? It really depends on the person.
I like how they’re stating opinions without stating their own opinion
TgTfProductions how can you have an opinion on something u never tried
TgTfProductions
exactly my thought. they're speaking safe..
That's a cultural thing in japan. They kind of feel like imposing/even just saying your own opinion without being asked is rudeish
Sadly in japan they teach you to put society first and suppress individualism
You're takeing it a bit too far there dude. They put society first but they still give importance to individuals and i think it's a nice thing, i mean, haven't you seen how clean and crimeless that country is?
"my friend told me.."
That sounds like a very detailed explanation from someone that just heard it from a friend lmao
the purpose is more for legal coverage rather than actually lying to the interviewer most likely
why are Japanese people so careful about giving their opinion? they just say someone can have an opinion about it, or say from a Japanese or mine perspective
I kinda like it though, seems like a peaceful place with not a lot of people screaming useless opinions.. but I wonder how this came to be
It's just a cultural thing. Japanese society isn't very confrontational and they usually keep things like this to themselves.
This kind of behavior also is a huge problem in Japan. Many people who struggle in life wouldn't dare to speak out about it and as a result would get worse and worse. I mean yeah, it's a cultural thing, but it'd be good if more japanese people learned to express their personal problems or feelings so they can actually solve these problems.
JoBikotch Oh, I totally agree with you. There are tons of people in Japan who are going through depression, stress, and a lot of other shit but they aren't saying it because of the social stigma in the culture. I'm definitely in agreement that it can be problematic.
N. E It is also ingrained in the language! There is always a clear distinction between things concerning yourself or things concerning someone else. In Japanese you would for example never say: "He is sad" but rather "He looks sad" or "I think he is sad", because you can't say for sure how someone else is feeling so rather than stating it as a fact you make clear that it's your own assessment. Even if the person told you he is sad you would still not state it as "factual".
Andy Yang I am just saying that if you translate it into English it sounds even more indirect and polite than it actually is. Japanese do voice their opinions, the way they say it is just different.
''Anything that messes with your brain or gets you addicted shouldn't be consumed.'' Jup, let's just ban sugar, sex, alcohol .... and lastly, life.
Matija alcohol ban wouldnt be so bad, imagine the drug dealing opportunitied
ProjectNL alcohol ban wouldn't be bad? 18th amendment says other wise.
These people are so well spoken and respectful, wow!
first, the people you interviewed are wonderful, extremely intuitive and smart. I was surprised by the thought process instead of thinking personally, they looked at it from all standpoints, be it medically, harmful or safe, and its applications in society. Great video and I'm glad I took time to watch this!
If you're anything like I was, you'd smoke it daily if you could. The high fades, but it's okay. Just light another bowl and the magic will come back, even if short lived, even if just to sleep. Until the next day when the pain of reality hit hard.
I wish someone told me sooner, but there's a balance and it's worth achieving. You're probably not balanced if you're smoking weed every day. I mean, no one should feel bad for doing this, but I think you should be aware that you're not living to your fullest potential. Get your shit together in sobriety. Go get therapy if you must. We all have mental scars, we're all in pain in one way or another. Don't kid yourself. If you're relying on the drug to silence these thoughts/voices, it's holding you back. If you work your way to finding peace in the absence of marijuana, it will not only get it's magic back, you will find you don't "need" it anymore. You will have a choice. You'll be a much more fun person to be high around, and you'll enjoy the highs more.
Japan seems to understand peace in sobriety (at least better than America). But they shouldn't scold people from using it. I don't think they'd get as addicted as us. We could learn from each other.
Sounds like you have messed your mind with shit pot and expecting it to sort the shit out for you,you can smoke it everyday the propa weed always get you stoned the same.Smoking weed its not only for getting high.Experienced weed user know how to achieve the balance.Why wait for someone to tell you if so maybe you shouldn't use it in first place you gone make everyday smoker look like looser who escapes the reality where truth use makes you connected!
David M lighten up the guy had a heartful comment and it was in no way offensive. He.s just putting himself out there it happened to him it could be happening to someone else.
In my opinion, (after smoking every day for a few years) the absence of weed is a part of this balance. Who knows, maybe your balance is smoking every day. Not my place to judge or make assumptions. Weed can open your mind to other paths in the mind you hadn't thought of before, but your mind is actually sharper when you're not stoned. Why are you worried about your image collectively? I'm an ex-toker, I don't represent anymore but I certainly will partake once every few months. That's my balance now, and I'm definitely looser than before. ;)
You just dropped some deep shyt...you should write a book about this shyt or something...it was very enlightening
Just get some different strains, man... you sound burnt out. God is good.
"It looks dangerous!", Omg that was hilarious! 🤣
@@jclouds2257 what are you, like 12? remember: don't inject marijuanas kids
@@jclouds2257 oh really you're against weed? I would've never guessed. Wow, that totally blows my mind!
@@jclouds2257 lol dude I'm just messing with you. We just have different opinions on the subject of weed that's all. I hope you have a wonderful day!
@@jclouds2257 there's no reason for being against weed unless you think the earth is flat or deny evolution
Well yeah, using maruijana is a death sentence in some countries. So yes, dangerous.
“It probably feels similar to getting drunk but you probably get greater pleasure?”
Yep, hit the nail on the head with that one.
I'm sorry but it's nothing like getting drunk except a general sense of euphoria.
@@josonic I disagre a half shot of whisky in a tall glass with lemonade does give a weed hit feeling for me
bruh its nothing like getting drunk whatre you talking about lmao
Whats the Name of you Profile pic
I, as a stoner and also occasional drinker cannot agree with this statement because being high and being drunk have almost NOTHING in common.
Been watching Asian Boss since it started and I can tell you that Japanese people and other Asian countries talk really smart, without any tone of boasting or talking like they were '' Woke People'' in the society. They are humble and cute and the way they talk always has a sense of calculation. This was a really nice video. Keep up the good work guys!!!
he said ganja lmao

Japanese people are great! So polite and smart and clean and organized ; they just look so fresh plus thier skin is sooo nice ❤ Thier language is so pretty.
It’s funny the way the Japanese people speak, is almost like they’re representing their country. Like if it was a really big school.
Well Ofcourse they a cautious citizens
I doubt japan will legalize weed this century. if ever.
It will start in the USA, spread across Europe, and end in Japan. When they realize they can make a lot of money from it.
lol what do you mean "spread across europe" quite a few european countries are already legalized...
genaxide decriminalized, not legalized.
Elandil5 basically the same thing.. You made it sound like europe is light years away from the US when in reality EU has been making moves against the "drug war"
I dont think they need it jk give it to the suicidal people
"have it Finely chopped" hahah
"jump in a river"......
I don’t even feel like jumping in the shower much less a river.
I jump in the river next to my house all the time, the water is too cold but its ton of fun
SlayinSaiyan 94 🤣🤣🤣
what about the drinking culture in Japan tho
Rape culture
Thank you. That's the hypocritical part about it
What about the YAKUZA??? lol
erdo erdo Like Japanese mafia
They will always refill the drink when its empty. It up to you when to stop haha.

The real question is.....Do the Japanese get Chinese eyed after smoking pot?🤔
Dean Welch What do you mean?
- A Chinese
@Koen Foo He's talking about an effect that happens when some people smoke weed. It just means a person would squint more after smoking, almost like they are reading something small, or trying to look closely at a picture. However, getting 'Chinese eyed' does not happen to all people. When I have smoked weed, it made my eyes red and glossy, and my pupils were dilated.
I assume you know of the stereotype that Asians have eyes that squint all of the time? (We call it 'Chinese eyes' simply because it sounds better than saying something like Japanese or Korean eyes.) Anyway, Dean is making a joke that since Japanese people already have Chinese eyes, would they get Chinese eyed if they smoked weed? It is a joke about redundancy, and is pretty clever, in my opinion, if you do not take offence to the stereotype that all Asians have Chinese eyes.
I love all people who are moral and who hold good feelings for others, despite how they look or act. However, I think jokes about a certain race or gender's appearance, if the intent is not malicious (Which I do not think it is in Dean's case,) will allow people to laugh about something that could have been used in an offensive way, thus making it less powerful, and making people who say things like that, with malicious intent, into a joke.
Osaka-san 👍👍
Osaka-San wow in 2018 we really gotta write all that out lol
Jimmy Sannhetsverd lmao you got triggered hard
It's worth noting that the answer to "If you smoke weed, what do you think will happen" can change drastically depending on the strain of weed. Indica, or Kush, will have a much heavier sedative effect. This is the weed that people get "couch-locked" and "body-stoned" from, and is often used to treat insomnia and chronic pain. But a Sativa strain has a lighter, more cerebral, less sedative effect. Its influence "lives in the head" rather than spreading through the whole body. It's often used to treat conditions such as PTSD, general anxiety, even Parkinson's and Epilepsy.
The effects of smoking weed differs from person to person, in my country where people use it for recreational usage due to depression and anxiety are more likely to overcome depression and anxiety. Never in my entire life have i ever heard of someone wanting to commit suicide due to smoking weed. There are negative aspects though. Some peoples depression can get worse from smoking weed. This is due to the person in my opinion. then again if you think weed is a dangerous substance and have no issues with alcohol, then you are probably an idiot.

Not necessarily. Weed made me LESS lazy! I love trying new things when high. My hyper-sensitivity to certain lights and sounds lessens when high, so I go out more. I'm miles more creative when I'm high. I love taking hikes and exercising when I'm high. I'm miles more sociable too. I avoid driving while high, so I end up walking if I want to get somewhere often.
My only negatives to weed? Harder to take serious things seriously as in I laugh at random things -- which is really only bad because I gotta deal with someone else getting offended. There is some slight paranoia like hearing people talk around me when no one said anything, but that's pretty rare and I can always recognize it about a second later that is just because I'm high. The worst things are the occasional coughing and some short term memory loss, but those two things only happens when I'm REALLY fucking high. I rarely do that though. I just take about 1 hit about every other day, and that's plenty for me. I only take more than that if it's a very special occasion -- kinda like how some people get really drunk on New Year's Eve.
weed make me less lazy 2
I can't smoke any strain of it or use cbd oil at all doesn't matter what I try or how much. Some people are just negatively or adversely affected or allergic. Believe it or not. I can use hemp lotion but only sometimes. Maybe its psychosomatic maybe its not. Not everyone wants to partake and so people do want to partake. Its about respect on both ends
Lindsey Lewis safer than water. Right...
Wow, they really dont know anything about weed or cbd oil, it can cure people with seizures, help reduce inflammation and all sorts of other things and I don't even smoke.
ndshreddermn Xanax is great as well
I live in one of the first 2 rec states to make it legal and let me tell you most people even here don't know about CBD or helping with seizures.
@@josonic I am so jelly. It is sadly illegal where we are. Wanting to move, big time.
My wife has siezures and it literally stops her siezures within minutes. CBD oil is the greatest thing in the world to us. I used to worry so much as she shook uncontrollable while all I could do was watch and wait.
You can really tell these people tune in and really listen to the interviewer, process and analyze the questions and possibilities. Different than your typical american interview.
Japanese are saikyou. にほん❤
I am kind of sick of people thinking we are stupid. What does our birth of origin have anything to do with our intellect?
Your accent dissapears and reappears throughout your speaking, I love it!
I have never wanted to learn Japanese more in my life
Did you do it 😳
Japanese women are so damn beautiful tbh.

Go there and be healed from your delusional ideas. lmfao!!
nah they need more plastic surgery.
@@taunteratwill1787 Been there many times and I agree with Sir ravix of fourhorn
why do they all look like they're guilty?
Because it's taboo to talk about. Heck, talking about your own opinions in public is uncommon in general, so imagine how uncomfortable it'd be in that situation to be asked about drugs.
What? That's crazy! If you can't say what you think then what is there to talk about?
nandorblue They just don't do it in public. A lot of them are pretty much habitual liars, and I mean that in the nicest way possible. Their culture more or less force them to lie, otherwise they might be shunned.
Of course, this is only when in public or if you aren't very close.
Alien culture. Thanks for explaining.
nandorblue No worries.
