^ Yes, being involved in illegal drugs, even something as "small" as marijuana, really is a big deal, in my opinion. Not so much because it's extremely bad for your health, even, but because they are illegal. Because of this, really shady and dangerous activity goes on around anything related to illegal drugs. It's not something you want to be involved with, not just for reputation but because you could actually get killed for countless stupid reasons. I completely agree with your post, Impact.

And yes, Japan does have very strict laws on illegal drugs. Not anything too extreme like certain places around the Middle East, where they kill you for having a pinch of cocaine in possession. But they don't simply give you a slap on the wrist like in the US and such. Being caught with a very small amount of marijuana can get you fined what is equal to many thousands of dollars, sentenced to years in prison... And in a lot of the Western world (specifically the US :\), drugs automatically make you really cool. Not Japan.


Anyhow... I really don't believe this. Yeah, part of it is because I don't want it to be true, but really, it just doesn't seem very likely. I mean, Ayumi's so level-headed in the first place... But also, you'd think she'd be a little more stressed out. But she's seemed very normal and pretty much carefree in all her blog entries, right? I dunno... We need to wait for more info...
