Marine sentenced to 2 years in Japanese prison for smuggling weed

A young corporal based on Okinawa, Japan, was sentenced to two years in a Japanese prison for attempting to smuggle cannabis products into the country.

Marine Cpl. Nicholas Garner was sentenced to two years in prison with hard labor and fined $4,344 after pleading guilty to two counts of violating Japan’s Cannabis Control and Customs laws, according to Stars and Stripes.


Authorities launched an investigation into Garner after a half gallon of cannabis liquid and nearly a quarter pound of cannabis flower arrive in the mail at Camp Foster, Okinawa, on June 7, 2021. When authorities arrested the Marine, he had a small amount of cannabis and liquid on him, according to Stars and Stripes.

You don't suppose he is one of those "ex-junkies" they allow to be recruited these days, do you? :thud:

Being deployed there, i am guessing he knew the laws and the risks.

See you in 2 years dude.
