A 70-year-old Japanese local politician has been arrested in China on drugs charges in a case that could draw the death penalty, officials said yesterday.
The man, who was detained on October 31 as he was about to fly home from Guangzhou, was found with 3kg of suspected illegal stimulants, the Japanese foreign ministry said...
...But officials in the central Japanese city of Inazawa identified the man as Takuma Sakuragi, a city councillor who was in China for his private trading business...
...Japanese media quoted a long-time associate of Sakuragi as saying the five-term city politician may have been framed due to his hard-line stance on diplomacy with neighbours China and South Korea....more...

Does it even make sense to risk carrying 3kg of meth when every other tv show teach you how to cook it and even inbred moonshiners are successful in the process ?

I think you're right. Used it to keep the soldiers sharp.
There was a product called　ヒロポン (Philopon) that was based on it too.

That crap was still available when I first got there, I think. A Cdn friend swore by it or its ilk. I though it was just straight speed, though.

At any rate, while this whole case does sound like it could easily be a cook up by the Chinese or even domestic enemies, it could just as easily be "a favour for a friend" of the white shoed variety. AT any rate, whadda maroon.

PS Rob Ford probably takes the belt simply for achieving his current status all on his own merit. Whatever head start he had in life as a spoiled rich kid given anything he wanted has been more than equalled by his natural abilities as a comically fat emotional spastic, in MYHOMO.

Yes -- it was fist synthesized by a Japanese.

I moved here in 1998... or the way some refer to it, the last 3 years of legal mushrooms on the streets.

Aaaaah, yes. Some very psychedelic days they were. I was on the Jpn gov't gravy train, so I always had to pass on the 'Shrooms. BTW, you guys were really annoying once you got drunk..............
