Those Japanese - what jokers!
Japan Probe: Customs gives passenger free hashish
It seems that Narita Airport Customs is in the habit of slipping drugs into unsuspecting travelers' suitcases in order to train their drug-sniffing dogs. It's officially banned - for what should be painfully obvious reasons - but they still do it. And this time, the dog couldn't find it, and the customs official who put it there couldn't remember which bag he'd put it in. So some lucky tourist got to take 142 grams of cannabis. Of course, this being Japan, he discovered the drugs that he didn't know he had, called the police and returned the drugs.
So, if you head through Narita airport, check your luggage very carefully before you go to your hotel....
