Nothing but newsreports from Japanese TV about Paul McCartney and his 
cancelled 1980 tour.

"I think we should decriminalize marijuana and I would like to see a really 
unbiased medical report on it," said pop singer Paul McCartney after being 
deported from Japan for bringing almost half a pound of marijuana into 
Tokyo for an 11-concert Wings tour that had to be cancelled.
"I spent my time [in the Tokyo jail] making a mental list of all those 
drugs which are legal but dangerous. We're all on drugs -cigarettes, 
whiskey and wild, wild women. Society thinks alcohol is terrific, yet it 
kills. Cigarettes can kill. They are worse than marijuana. It's just not 
true that marijuana can kill. What about the little old ladies on Valium? 
Think of aspirin's danger to the stomach."
McCartney was finally released and deported on January 25, 1980. When asked 
why he was turned loose, McCartney balked, "Don't ask me, ask them. They 
just told me I could get out." Japanese authorities said they decided 
against the jail sentence because of his ignorance of their strict laws. 
"We always give some weight to clear signs of repentance," one official 
added.
The Incarceration cost McCartney the revenues from the cancelled Wings 
dates, plus an additional 200,000 pounds to cover losses incurred by Udo 
Music, as well as 10,000 pounds a day expenses for his lawyers and family.
This was McCartneys second deportation. The first occurred nearly 20 years 
earlier, when he and Beatles' then-drummer Pete Best were expelled from 
West Germany after allegedly starting a fire in a Hamburg rock club by 
igniting a condom.
