Marine sentenced to 2 years in Japanese prison for smuggling weed
By Philip Athey
 Feb 22, 2022
 
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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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