Overall: Neutral and well-cited article that was 5x-expanded on December 4. Earwig's copyvio tool result rules out copyvio. I checked every cited source individually. One of the sources is offline and the links within are for Wikipedia articles ("この人 このテーマ)高安淳一さん 大麻の生産、栃木が全国一だったんですね". Asahi Shimbun Morning Edition, Tochigi Prefecture. 4 December 2016.). All three hooks are interesting; I'd stick however with AlT0 and AlT1. Consider linking to the founder's article in ALT1 hook. I had to run translation for the rest of the sources. I cannot vouch for the neutrality of some but I am accepting them in good faith. ~ Elias Z. (talkallam) 07:23, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
