YOKOHAMA -- Twelve members of Kanto Gakuin University's rugby club inhaled marijuana in addition to two players who are under indictment for growing dope plants at the club dormitory here, police said.

The 12, including a regular member of the team, admitted to the allegations during questioning. The two who are under indictment have already been expelled from the club.

"If it's true, it'd be indeed regrettable, as we told students to follow the law," a university spokesman said.

Kanagawa Prefectural Police are set to send investigation reports to prosecutors, accusing the 12 of possessing or receiving marijuana, as the Cannabis Control Law has no specific clause providing for punishment of those who use marijuana.

The 12 inhaled marijuana at the club dormitory in Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama, and at a hotel in Nagano Prefecture where they stayed during the club's summer camp between July and August, investigators said.

The marijuana they smoked was grown by Keiji Umeno, 21, and Taiki Nakamura, 21, under indictment for violating the Cannabis Control Law.
