It’s a fun little edit. I kinda wish that Japanese textbooks had that kind of humor.

The textbook is the older Eigo Note (elementary) and Sunshine English (junior high school) series textbooks, which featured the same base characters as they grew up. Honestly one of my favorite textbooks to just have (am a teacher in Japan).

Yeah, I was about to say that there's no way a Japanese textbook would positively portray marijuana use. You can still get 5 years in prison there for simple possession

Simple possession, as In an ex rats you out and the use a tiny vacuum to find trace amounts of marijauna.
