Crack cocaine is smoked.... generally by po blacks.

Powdered cocaine for whites and those with more disposable income.

I think the people who produced the video had little actual drug experience ( as it’s the gaijin , niggers, crackers , chinks, gooks, pakis, spics, cameljockeys and other flotsam who be doing all da drugs and having all of da AIDS) ... and should have instead titled their song “do you want to snort some cocaine?”

Tokyo police: Drug trafficking involving foreigners in Roppongi ‘spreading like an infestation’
October 4, 2017 Tokyo Reporter Staff Breaking News, Crime, Japan, News, Roppongi, Tokyo

TOKYO (TR) – In July, Tokyo Metropolitan Police raided the Minami Azabu residence of Edward James Montague Reid, a 43-year-old British national. Located near the Roppongi nightlife quarter, the residence contained what can be best described as what might appear at an illegal drug fair.

Officers seized 239 grams of cocaine, 92 grams of kakuseizai, or stimulant drugs, 467 grams of marijuana and 750 tablets of MDMA, which is also known as Ecstasy.

The contraband has combined street value of about 20 million yen. Reid was later arrested and prosecuted on suspicion of possession of illegal drugs for the purpose of trafficking.

According to the Sankei Shimbun (Oct. 3), the case highlights the worsening problem of illegal drugs — particularly cocaine — circulating in the foreign community in Roppongi.

“We are seeing signs that it is spreading like an infestation,” an investigator says.

This guy is a truly fucked gaijin. What's he going to get for this? Fifteen years or so? More? I hear Abashiri is pretty cold outside August as well ...What an idiot.

“With the Olympic Games three years away, the influx of foreigners will surge in the coming years,” the representative says. “Therefore, it is necessary to further strengthen our crackdown efforts.”

If they legalized weed they might get more visitors for the olympics!

I don't get it..they say "spreading like an infestation" while at the same time basically claiming they have traced most of the drug purchased back to one guy? Drama much?

Notice how the number of "busts" is far larger than arrests? Coke has been super trendy with young rich people in Tokyo for years. Coke is seen as somewhat glamorous while meth (shabu) is seen as a working man's thing. These are the kind of people that are under 40 and collect supercars. The cops won't fuck with these guys because the entire legal system is designed to allow the side with the most money to win. They arrest an entertainer from time to time but those people aren't really that rich.


This British guy is not the entire market, his arrest probably won't make prices go up at all. From what I herd that guy that got his head smashed in with pipes a few years ago was selling by the kilo.



The thing I find strange is the BitCoin thing. Now that Japan officially recognizes it how much can they trace it? People were probably using those combini cards to pay him.

you really sensitively react to drug things.
where do you cultivate your weeds and mushrooms? inside stinky oshiires in your rural shabby second-hand house?

Hey man, I'm not sensitive. I was just pointing out that the rest of the world has moved on. While we are here, the #1 drug in Japan is fucking meth so Japan must be superior. Right?

P.S. I used to work for a guy that did shows at a small club in an industrial park.

Not sure they can...and if it is possible, the skill level of the boys in bruu here may not yield what they want.
