It’s easy to find references to the amphetamine epidemic in postwar Japan.
“Postwar Japan was the site of the first epidemic of amphetamine psychosis; thanks to its feverish production of amphetamines for the German Luftwaffe, Japanese munitions factory workers popped uppers at an alarming rate as the war neared its end. Drug companies advertised amphetamines for the “elimination of drowsiness and repletion of the spirit,” enabling them to clean out their stockpiles, thereby creating 500,000 new Japanese addicts.”

That’s the Japanese for ya . . . If they were gonna get hooked on a drug, you know what kind it had to be . . . No opium dens for them!
