Estimated 350,000 cocaine users, highest ever – MHLW survey reveals the spread of the drug.




It was revealed on the 2nd that according to a 2025 national survey by a Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare research group, 0.4% of people aged 15-64 have used cocaine, which is estimated to be about 350,000 people. This is the highest number since the current survey method was adopted in 2007. The number of cocaine-related cases seized by police in 2025 was also the highest on record, once again highlighting the fact that it is spreading nationwide. Additionally, cannabis had the highest number of abusers, with an estimated 1.41 million (1.6%).

Even if they bring it in, if they aren’t Japanese, they don’t get prosecuted. The penalties are too light.

Drugs are also an immigration risk.

Cannabis: Distorted perception, memory impairment, decline in learning ability.
Cocaine: Strong psychological dependence, hallucinations, risk of acute poisoning causing respiratory failure.

Both drugs have terrifying effects that severely damage brain function and lead to addiction and mental disorders.

It’s ironic that people are hating on tobacco when this is happening.

In Australia, the discovery of “4 tons” of cocaine this week is the front-page story. They are terrified by the massive influx of cocaine beyond their imagination.

I had the image that cocaine was the drug in American movies, while Japan was all about stimulants.

> 5,000 people were randomly selected from the basic resident register, documents were mailed, and 3,156 valid responses were obtained. Use experience is self-reported.

What the hell is this, lol.

I’ve never even seen it because I have zero connections to that world. Where do these people buy it?

They either don’t understand the dangers of drugs or are just self-destructive.

There are too many fools. Anyone who has done it even once should be locked up and forced to spend 2-3 months studying the history of the Opium Wars.

Where do you sell cocaine? There are dealers for meth everywhere, but I’ve never heard of a pusher carrying cocaine.

Japan’s safety is truly broken, and it’s become no different from any other country now.
