My wife worked for this guy that has since passed away. She was his sous chef at a very posh up and coming restaurant. They had fried chicken specials every so often and it was always their biggest huge hit. Like always selling out.

The secret of his success was his special herbs and spices, which included weed. He figured that nobody would get that high from a serving so he was like IDGAF.

Eddy was one of a kind. Rest in peace friend.

I think it's Hempseed rather than weed itself, but proper Nanami/shichimi togarashi (7 spice blend, roughly translated) has Hempseed. Because of the ban on drugs and such, most exports and US versions exclude it though.

As an example, this site shows and advertises it's usage, then on the same page says:

Hemp seeds match sesame in terms of flavor and aroma. There is an old Japanese saying: "Those able to mill hemp seed are truly mature."

No hemp seeds are used in products for overseas markets.

I didn't know hempseed was illegal in the US. It's a pretty boring ingredient elsewhere.

I think it isn't illegal if it can't grow a plant, so if heated or ground. You can buy ground hempseed, and i think i have some downstairs. Still, imports and such are much trickier, which is probably why they don't use it for exports. Also other countries may have stricter imports, and perhaps the company doesn't want the headache of verifying which market to send which product to.

It's similar to how most companies just conform to Californian restrictions rather than make different products for different states in the US.

Seeds are federally legal as they contain no THC. They have been sold on the open Internet for years, even before the farm bill that got all the "intoxicating hemp" and "alternative cannabinoids" into your local head shop. Post farm bill, even growing those seeds would be legal, because hemp is legally distinct from "marijuana".

I can't speak to import/export but I know a lot about cannabis

We thank the great, valiant protectors for shielding us from the loathsome, horrible, dangerous hempseed. 🙏🙏🙏
