Crimes related to opium smoking

…[Yanai Hiroyuki] [Yanagi Tomoji]
[Legal regulations]
Legal restrictions on narcotics in Japan began with restrictions on opium. The sale, purchase, and consumption of opium had been prohibited since the early Meiji period, and the "Opium Smoking Crimes" section of the old Criminal Code (promulgated in 1880) and the current Criminal Code (promulgated in 1907) punishes the import, manufacture, sale, and possession with intent to sell opium and opium smoking implements. In addition, the old Opium Law (promulgated in 1897) established a monopoly on opium, limiting its sale to medical personnel only.

*Some of the terminology used in relation to the "crime of opium smoking" is listed below.
