Japan Approves Its First CBD Advertisement, Softening Its Harsh Stance On Cannabis
Recently, Japan has approved a large billboard in Omotesando Station in Tokyo/ The billboard will display an advertisement for one of Elixinol’s CBD products, Hemp Oil Drops.
It’s not well publicized, but Japan is tough on cannabis First-time offenders can receive five-year jail time sentences and busts of as little as 11 grams make the evening news. But despite all of this, CBD products are currently legal to sell in the country and should be especially helpful for the aging population. Locals may have never known because CBD producers are not to advertise their wares, a policy that has changed as of last week.
Most notable was in 2015 when First Lady Akie Abe expressed a love for hemp, saying she’d love to farm some of her own if permitted. “ While it is not yet permitted in Japan,” said Abe, “I think it can be put into great practical use for medical purposes as well.”
CBD oil was legalized in 2016, not long after Abe’s endorsement. Elixinol, an Australian company, began selling CBD oils in Japan. While certain producers have been granted permission to sell products in Japan, not many know about them because of a ban on advertisements.
“Japan has a very strong cultural connection with hemp, and its use by our people dates back to ancient times,” said Elixinol Japan CEO Makoto Matsumaru. “Approval to commercially advertise our Hemp Oil Drops is a major win for the hemp industry and comes after many months of working with the relevant authorities to gain authorization.” 0024ニライカナイφ ★2018/06/10(日) 06:52:53.96ID:CAP_USER9>>23 【大麻】日本初の大麻の有効成分、CBD(カンナビジオール)の宣伝広告が承認 大麻への厳しい姿勢が軟化 https://asahi.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/newsplus/1528581150/0025名無しさん@1周年2018/06/10(日) 07:03:38.04ID:KkZKobc70>>24 おはようございます そしてスレ立てどうもありがとうございます。 0026名無しさん@1周年2018/06/10(日) 18:34:10.51ID:+YuLCsYn0 【新幹線3人殺傷】容疑者の親族の女性「引きこもっていて、靖国神社や出雲大社などの神社の本をよく読んでいた」★8 https://asahi.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/newsplus/1528615467/0027ニライカナイφ ★2018/06/10(日) 18:52:59.45ID:CAP_USER9>>26 すでに立っていました。
