They claimed they received instructions from a man they met on social media but never met in person, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nikkei.com\/article\/DGXZQOUD097NE0Z00C26A9000000\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">local media<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> The pair were arrested &#8220;on suspicion of violating the drugs and psychotropics control law, or, smuggling to gain profit,&#8221; the spokesman said.<\/p>\n<p> They also breached two other unnamed laws, he added.<\/p>\n<p> Smuggling cannabis for the purpose of making profit carries up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to 3 million yen ($19,500).<\/p>\n<p> Last December, prominent American playwright Jeremy O.
