In coffee shops around Kabukicho in Shinjuku or on the second floor of restaurants in Musashinokan, you can often see high school students in their uniforms indulging in Hiropon after the last train. In many cases, they are doing this in tandem with playing mahjong and gambling.

Meth is already gnarly, but injecting it is even gnarlier.

Interesting.
Methamphetamine is also called 히로뽕 (hiroppong) in Korean, obviously borrowed from Japanese word ヒロポン.

This is from a Japanese paper on methamphetamine published in 1955:
新宿歌舞伎町付近の喫茶店や武蔵野館 の飲食店の二階などでは、終電後、制服の 高校生が、ヒロポンにたん溺している姿を よく見かける。それらは、麻雀とばくと並 行している場合が少くないようだ。
