Japan News: FUKUOKA -- Fourteen people, mostly students from Kyushu Sangyo University here, have been arrested for cultivating marijuana in Japan's biggest dope-growing find, officials said Tuesday. Those arrested include three current students of the university, nine graduates, another youth who dropped out of a college and a high school boy. "They committed a terribly anti-social crime, so we are discussing the matter seriously," said a written statement from Kyushu Sangyo University president, which was read out by a top official. The students allegedly cultivated marijuana in the mountains of Oita Prefecture and in their homes for their own consumption and to sell from November 2001 through to July this year. Three of the university graduates developed a 30-meter-square field to grow hemp in the mountains. Officials of the Health Ministry, who announced the arrest, said this was the largest attempt ever to grow hemp in Japan. During questioning, some of the students confessed that they bought hemp seeds over the Internet or when they went overseas. "We began growing it out of curiosity, and made money by selling it to our classmates," officials quoted one student as saying. A joint of marijuana was sold for 5,000 yen, the officials said.
