We have thousands of Americans in American jails because they violated out drug laws. Why should we care any more about someone in a Russian jail for violating Russian drug laws?

Then you can’t dispute the idiocy of traveling to Russia during a state of war.

What do you think has more affect on her prison sentence? Bringing in weed as a prominent foreigner or Biden engaging in a proxy war against Russia and the west calling Putin Hitler? I’d say it’s the latter not the former.

Ridiculous -to charge smuggling drug less than 4 paper clips, but possession is all I heard.

On August 4, a Russian court found WNBA star Brittney Griner guilty of “”drug possession””. And sentenced her to nine years in a penal colony. The expected verdict came nearly six months after officials arrested Griner at a Moscow airport on cannabis possession charges.Aug 4, 2022

She was convicted with both smuggling and possession. Don’t see anywhere the minimum amount that constitutes a smuggling charge in Russia.

Except amount doesn’t matter. She knew it was wrong, Pat the consequences.

Regardless as to how people feel about the situation, it is looking more likely a deal will be made and Griner will go free.

If and when she does come 'home,' I hope she keeps her big fat pie hole shut.

She can't be that bright if she 'forgot' to take her hash vapes out of her luggage.

Point is she possessed it because she smuggled it.
