          America. During occupation we forced Japan to make marijuana, hemp and every other drug illegal. Partially its said to force our own ideas of morality on Japan. Part of it was specifically to destroy the Japanese hemp industry which was quite large at the time, to the point were Hokkaido has a large wild hemp/marijuana population that is actively watched and destroyed still.
