Whilst Japan has a zero tolerance approach in regards to drug use, it doesn’t mean that people are lacking in knowledge when it comes to illegal substances.
Far from it in fact. This ‘My Little Syringe’ and syrup set* for example giving youngsters an early chance to get acquainted with intravenous drug paraphernalia.

*Strap sold separately.
They inject the syrup in!? or they like just drop it in their mouths?
Love the Blog!
Added it to my feed list. I haven’t had time to check out all your links to blogs the side but look forward to doing so soon.
You strike a great ballance between “that’s beautiful” and WTF?!!! Just like life must be like in Japan (Texas is very similar that way!)
Haven’t decided if your site is “safe-enough” for some of my regular readers to be added to my side list, but I think I might just have to add it in anyway!
Keep up the musings! I can’t wait for more.
Ooh, talk about evil…
It’s just like in Mexico. But in Tokyo instead.
Wait…more explanation needed on this one. A NEEDLE to apply the syrup to the “pancake”? WTF?
Um… no. The plastic syringe thingy is just so the kids can draw on the pancake thingy with cola-flavor syrup. They sell these in the kids’ penny-candy section, there is no actual needle.
Sometimes it’s like Japan’s a giant Transmetropolitan reference.
