Under the theme of the impact of law enforcement efforts on Methamphetamine epidemic in Japan, "Philopon age" (1945〜1955) - Philopon is one of the brand names of methamphetamine in that period - and "Shabu age" (1970〜today) - Shabu is a slang for stimulants - were analysed. On the analysis of "Philopon age", Law enforcement efforts, which became stricter gradually with the impositions of the Drug, Cosmetics and Medical Instrument Law (1948), the Stimulant Drug Control Law (1951) and partially amended Stimulant Drug Control Law (1954, 1955), were traced and those impacts on users were considered. After this, Brill, H. and Hirose, T. (1971)'s hypotheses on drug epidemic were discussed on the basis of plesent data. On the today's "Shabu epidemic", this paper analysed illicit stimulant distribution systems and discussed the dealer's responses to the threat of arrest and imprisonment under the strong police pressure. The structure of the systems and the dealers' behavior in Japan were very similar to those of New York described by Moore, M. H. (1977) with the exception of some indications, that were centralization at high levels in the distribution system, preferences for socially disorganized areas and corruption of enforcement agencies to purchase indulgence for acts.
