Great set, Taipei impressed me hugely the only time I've been in 2009. Taipei is just below Seoul is the biggest outbound tourist destination in Japan these days, even moreso than Hawaii. I went to Taipei on business with Japanese coworkers, and they all concluded that Taipei is "the most Japanese-friendly city outside of Japan besides Honolulu".

You can leave Japan off that list too in regards to weed and coke. Both are a breeze to get (at least in Tokyo), and as long as you're buying from a yakuza-approved dealer and you don't do anything stupid, cops don't even care - they're in on it with the yaks. The Japanese finance and media industries wouldn't function without coke.
