An increasing number of youths are being hospitalized in Tokyo after inhaling herbs for their stimulatory or hallucinatory effects.
An investigation by the Tokyo metropolitan government has found that the number of stores in the city selling these types of herbs has increased to 93.
The herbs contain dried pieces of plant that are mixed with drugs designed to generate hallucinatory or stimulatory effects. The herbs are sold as incense in many cases. (Yomiuri)
