there's no time to wait now
Rebuilding from Tokyo
As stated in the “Future Tokyo” Strategy 2024 issued by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in January 2024, the issues that have been postponed are “no longer awaited. However, these are not only issues that have been postponed by the national government, but also issues that the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has been putting off for years. The strength of the capital city of Tokyo is its ability to make the most of its potential, to take the initiative without placing the responsibility on the national government, and to move the nation and the world in the opposite direction. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has approximately 25,000 general administrative employees and 13,000 employees in the public enterprise sector. The Tokyo Fire Department, the Metropolitan Police Department, and public schools make up a total of approximately 168,000 employees who support the Tokyo Metropolitan Government from the administrative side.
A truly national level
One of the world's leading cities
And the population of Tokyo is 14,170,275 as of May 1, 2024. The inflow population will be several million, and the related population will be several tens of millions. According to the “Survey of the Number of Tourists to Tokyo in 2022” compiled by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the number of tourists who visited Tokyo in 2022 was 545.98 million, consisting of approximately 542.67 million Japanese tourists and 3.31 million foreign tourists. The total amount of tourism consumption in 2022 was approximately 5,032.7 billion yen for both Japanese and foreign visitors. In addition, there are 143 universities, 638 hospitals, and approximately 255,000 companies with their headquarters in the city, making it a truly national-level city.
Realization of Tokyo Medical Marijuana Special Zone
The new law, scheduled to come into force on October 1, 2024, will be divided into a “Type 1 cannabis harvester license” approved by the prefectural governor and a “Type 1 cannabis harvester license” approved by the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare. By utilizing the “Type 1 cannabis harvester license” approved by the prefectural governor, it will be possible to realize Tokyo as one of the world’s healthiest and greenest environmental cities. In addition, by utilizing the “Type 2 cannabis harvester license”, not only can we rebuild Japan from Tokyo, but we can also change the world from Japan, and create a world-leading standard city. If the “Type 2 cannabis harvester license” approved by the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare is issued by Tokyo or through industry-academia collaboration centered on Tokyo, it will support Japan, which is promoting a drug discovery nation. In addition, cannabis, which enriches the medical, food, clothing, shelter and spirit and even creates new industries, has a high affinity with Japan. The realization of the Tokyo Hemp Special Zone + Tokyo Medical Cannabis Special Zone = Tokyo Cannabis Special Zone starting from Tokyo will be a great symbol of rebuilding Tokyo and rebuilding Japan.
