The following is the continuation of the previous chapter.
MacArthur also ordered the Japanese government to ‘abandon Animism Shintoism’ and ‘devote to Christianity’, calling 3,000 missionaries, International Christian University also built.
Nanbara Shigeru who flattered to Macarthur also preached Christianity received to the student as president of the University of Tokyo.
In the plan, 70% of Japanese people intend to receive Christianity, but no one believer increased.
In the background of this Christianization campaign there was an American elitism, a prejudice called a clean people chosen by God.
They excluded people from prayers from the beginning of the 20th century. They excluded opium, banned cannabis in 1911, illegal in 1912, and illegal drinking and cocaine in 1920.
They repudiated alcoholic drink, the opium which avoids a person from the prayer from the beginning in the 20th century, in 1911, in the cannabis, in 1912, it made opium illegal to the ban and in 1920, they made liquor and a cocaine illegal.
It is a ‘clean American’ era that is bundled with the age of Prohibition.
They brought that consciousness to Japan, in January 1946, issued a GHQ directive that prohibits all drugs such as cannabis. Drugs were regulated in developed countries in Japan but surprised by regulation of cannabis.
Because the ingredient Cannabis is a clear medicine listed in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, in addition to the healing effect of cataracts, a cleaning effect was also recognized.
In addition to sacred Shinto straw festoon and sumo wrestlers loincloth, Aratae, which the Emperor calls during the first ceremonial offering of rice by newly - enthroned Emperor, was also decided as hemp.
Not only in Japan, for example, in the Zoroastrian scriptures of the seventh century BC, it was also raised as one of medicines, and Egyptian mummies were also enveloped with hemp.
It seems to be due to antiseptic effect.
Also, in the New Testament there is a scene where Mary of Magdalene paints Jesus oil, that St. Oil is also considered cannabis extracted oil.
"Defend the Constitution even if the country is destroyed"
In the nineteenth century Queen Victoria also loved cannabis for the treatment of menstrual pain. GHQ did not know that history either.
And half a century HIV became popular in the United States, suddenly marijuana surfaced on its terminal treatment.
When cannabis was administered to the terminal patient of HIV and cancer who lost the power to live, appetite appeared, and a slight healing effect was observed.
Many provinces are now officially approved for terminal care, and are sold in Colorado, Washington state, until approval until aspiration.
Uruguay has taken over as the state of removal of a ban.
There is a newspaper that wants to keep doing the Constitution made by such stupid GHQ, but even if the country is destroyed, a good Constitution is preserved.
It is troubling.
