No one in any country should be in a cage over weed.

Any former nba guy playing in China right now should take notice: this could be you if war breaks out over Taiwan. If it isn’t weed, they’ll find another excuse.

Serious question: do you have a mental illness?

So out of curiosity, if this was a random guy caught on a vacation with no luster to his name, what would the sentence be in that situation?

So does she expect the country she's consistently badmouthed to come to her rescue now? How about don't do illegal activity if you don't want to be punished for it.

It's terrible, but it was incredibly foolish on her part.

What a disaster. I feel so bad for Griner and her friends and family. It was a mistake. I make mistakes all the time.
Going to add this to my list of things I tell myself to feel a little better when I'm having a bad day. Like, yeah I have a headache but at least I'm not spending 9 years in a Russian prison because of a friggin vape cartridge.

For the past 11 months, Fogel has languished in Russian detention centers following his August 2021 arrest for trying to enter the country with about half an ounce of medical marijuana he’d been prescribed in the United States for chronic pain after numerous injuries and surgeries. First he endlessly awaited trial, often in crowded, smoke-choked cells. More recently, he has been serving the first weeks of an incomprehensible 14-year sentence handed down by a Russian judge in June.

Do you really think Russia arrested/convicted/sentenced Griner to nine years of hard labor because she allegedly had .702 grams of cannabis oil in her luggage (less than the weight of a pen cap or a stick of gum)? If you do, I have a bridge to sell you...in my native Brooklyn.
Griner is a pawn, being used by a country with a long history of arresting/convicting innocents.
This thread will (justifiably) be locked soon, but I wanted to add that I fault Griner more for agreeing to return to/work in a country which has been historically anti-LGBTQ (including recent laws passed against this population) as well as historically discriminatory against non-white and/or non-Christian races. Not to mention, she returned to Moscow weeks after Biden had announced that war was imminent and that US citizens should leave. (She arrived in Moscow, and was arrested, on February 17...six days before the Ukraine invasion.) How naive could a person possibly be?
