Cannabis Use Among Young People Increases in Japan, Particularly in Tokyo

3 Haziran 2026Japan Times

Cannabis use among young people in Japan, particularly in Tokyo, has seen a significant increase. In 2025, Tokyo reported the highest number of cannabis-related cases, with 1,139 individuals processed by the Metropolitan Police Department.
This trend raises concerns about substance use and its implications for public health and safety.
Japan has historically maintained stringent laws against drug use, including cannabis. However, the increasing number of cases suggests a possible shift in public perception and behavior, particularly among younger demographics.
The rise in cannabis use among the youth in Tokyo may reflect broader societal changes and shifting attitudes towards drug use. As legalization debates continue globally, Japan's strict drug laws may be facing challenges from younger generations who are more open to alternative lifestyles.
