Cannabis Refugee Activism

๐Ÿ”ฅ Culture First mentioned: Ep. 161

Activists forced to flee their home countries due to persecution for cannabis advocacy or education. Karao, a Japanese activist, was arrested and detained for 40 days simply for running a cannabis education blog, ultimately fleeing to Mexico City to continue translating cultivation and medicinal information into Japanese.

Karao studied at Oaksterdam University in California, then translated grow guides and medicinal cannabis information into Japanese. Despite having no cannabis in his possession, police kicked down his door and detained him for information sharing alone.
