Work Places: The return of jute and hemp
Sumo belts and shrines
For centuries, hemp was a common crop found across Japan that was used in the sacred suzunoo ropes that adorn shrines and in the ceremonial belts of sumo wrestlers. On a more day-to-day basis, fibers from the stalks of hemp plants were used to produce clothing, including shirts, as well as mosquito nets, fishing nets, paper and in traditional medicine, while the seeds of the plant were used as spices in cooking.
The ban on cannabis and related products was introduced after Japan s defeat in World War II, when the primarily American occupation government effectively imposed a new constitution and laws on Japan that reflected US standards of the day.

Drug
checking by KnowYourStuffNZ is revealing that this is the
summer of cathinones. More than half of the samples we have
tested at New Year’s festivals have not been MDMA but
instead more dangerous stimulants from the cathinones
family.
The most common cathinone right now is
eutylone. We saw small amounts last year and now there’s
heaps of it around. This is a big change and bad
news.
We recommend not taking eutylone.
What
does eutylone feel like?

MDMA – euphoria but that fades after an hour or so. You
may think it is weak MDMA and be tempted to take more.
