Brittney Griner, wearing a Nirvana T-shirt, was back in court Friday, where the WNBA star's attorney told the judge BG, who's being tried on a drug charge, was prescribed cannabis for medical use ... the same substance she was caught carrying.
Griner's lawyer, Maria Blagovolina, told the court on Friday, "The attending physician gave Brittney recommendations for the use of medical cannabis."
"The permission was issued on behalf of the Arizona Department of Health," she added.
Blagovolina also submitted tests to the court ... showing 31-year-old Griner underwent testing to ensure she complied with anti-doping regulations, and the results revealed the hooper didn't have any prohibited substances in her system.

I don’t think Russia cares.
She’s a hideous freak, and a sexual deviant. You’d think the Russians would be glad to boot her out of their country.
No doubt Vlad will have her released momentarily. Or not!
Russian laws forbid possession of the stuff. She possessed the stuff. Doesn’t matter what some doctor back home said was OK. Off to the gulag.
Yes. Kick her out. I use topical cannabis for arthritic knees. Medical marijuana is fine but be wary of where you go. Not everywhere is Canada or Netherlands
The Stupid think it’s good all over the world ,LOL
Yeah, sorry. No “medical use” in Russia. In many international countries Marijuana remains an illegal substance. Moreover, how limited in mental capacity do you have to be to, you know, CHECK the laws of foreign countries before you enter prior to pre-planned travel carrying such a substance.
They always complained about the USA being a bully, but it avoided problems exactly like this.
Tough $hit.
This woman is an idiot to think that sh*t would fly in Russia.
“This woman is an idiot....” You could have stopped there. 😁👍
Can you believe anyone would be so stupid as to think American law would apply in Russia?
Drug users really do incredibly stupid things from time to time.
Very careless of her to not realize it might be a problem traveling with it to a totalitarian country.
Just stupid .
Even crossing state lines she should be careful.
But Russia?
Cmon man
Put the period after think, no need for the qualifier.
That’s what I meant.
