Director Kamaya also stated, "In recent years, certain foods and tobacco products sold in the market have been advertised as legal marijuana, when in fact they may contain illegal drug ingredients.
The Japanese parliament amended a law on December 2 to regulate the designated drug HHCH (hexahydrocannabinol), yet no law enforcement actions have been taken to date.
