Raw cannabis cannot be used in Russia, including for medical purposes. Among the narcotics and psychoactive substances, cannabis is on Russia’s “List I.” There is strict government control over the circulation of substances on List I.
According to the Russian Criminal Code, narcotic and psychotropic substances, their analogs, and plants containing them (including cannabis) are prohibited if manufactured, sold, or delivered without authorization.
It couldn’t have come as a surprise to her that Marijuana is a class 1 drug in Russia. You can’t play for a foreign team without being told the do’s and don’ts by the team for each particular country you will be playing in. She knew better but chose to ignore it. Bad choice, especially as international tensions increased at the same time.
But...but, she says she has a doctor’s note!! To even make that claim when you’ve violated the laws of another country, tells me that Brittany grew up with some of that “white privilege” she inherited from her mother. She’s of the assumption that the laws are for everyone else, not her. If she wasn’t from a mixed-race family, wasn’t a lesbian, and was full Caucasian, the left-wing media would be ignoring her incarceration.
I would trade the pink haired freak Rapinoe for Griner. I say we give Russia Rapinoe and that arms dealer Yaroshenko in exchange for Griner. But they MUST take Rapinoe to do with whatever they want. /spit
Just like the J6 "insurrectionists" who were arrested with "weapons" like nail-clippers and Swiss Army knives.
She’s just getting what she would do to her political enemies in the U.S if given the chance. I feel no sympathy for her.
You know, I don’t like it when foreigners (illegal and legal) come to our country, break our laws and act like they can do whatever they want. I don’t blame the Russians on this one. She broke the law. Everyone knows that the Russian legal system and laws are different than the United States. Griner went anyways for the chance to earn a lot of money. Even though she benefited from the opportunity Russia gave her, she flippantly broke their laws anyways. It is no different than the people who come here and do the same thing. I feel no sympathy. She needs to grow up.
“She actually makes me miss Imus.”
That’s funny. The word “nappy” comes to mind.
If Griner were a Patriot, I would hope that a president like Trump could close a pretty good deal for the confused young man and he could come back home (which he spits on every chance he gets) following a relatively short prison term.
Because he’s (Griner) not a Patriot though, and is in fact a typical AMERICA hater, I really don’t give a damn how many years he rots in a Russian prison. Simple as that. I imagine millions agree with me.
Really,I didn’t know that.
“she was targeted for her behavior and it is politics not criminal Justice at play here”
Sort of like getting Al Capone on tax charges, whatever works is fair.
LOL!
I've just spent 20 minutes reading multiple crap articles on Google i still have no definitive answer on if Brittney Griner is a man or a woman.
Welcome to 2022 America.
And that is significant... why?
I don't think her supporters think she should be released because they're unhappy about Russian propaganda.
They think she should be released because of left-wing propaganda in this country. What's the difference?
It's just a big media show, anyway.
You think if Joe Blow average American guy was caught bringing drugs into Russia he wouldn't be arrested, tried, and convicted, even though the event wouldn't get much attention here because Joe Blow isn't a sports celebrity?
Who can blame Russia? We have the stooges and Marx brothers running this country! I’d press these idiots in many different ways, and take em for everything they got just for being stupid, indecisive, bumbling, incompetent, and weak, to name a few!
I’ve seen flat-chested females before but Griner straight-up has a male torso.
How long before they claim that Russia is tormenting him/her at the request of Donald Trump.
Griner is Fair Game, she actually committed the crime, and it was a crime where the act was committed, a condition not necessary for a US Arrest and Imprisonment, as proved by the January 6th Political Persecutions.
Quite the role model. Trash doesn’t do justice to her characters. The Russians are doing us a huge favor.
From Wikipedia...
“Marriages and domestic violence case
On August 14, 2014, Griner got engaged to fellow WNBA player Glory Johnson.[84][85] On April 22, 2015, they were both arrested on charges of assault and disorderly conduct after police responded to a fight between the two in their suburban home in Phoenix, Arizona.

Griner was also required to complete 26 weeks of domestic violence counseling.[90]
On June 4, 2015, Griner and Johnson revealed that Johnson was pregnant with twins,[91] conceived with Johnson’s eggs through in vitro fertilization.[92] The following day, and after less than a month of marriage, Griner filed for an annulment of the marriage citing fraud and duress;[93] the annulment was denied.[94] Johnson gave birth to twin girls on October 12, 2015, 16 weeks premature.[95] Griner was ordered to pay child support to Johnson.[95] The couple’s divorce was finalized in June 2016.[96]
Griner became engaged to Cherelle Watson in August 2018,[97] and they married in June 2019.[96] Watson later changed her name to Cherelle Griner.[96] “
Awwww. Her scissor partner is (maybe) most effected. Other peoples rules do apply. Siberia?
You have no way of proving what you say. Lets see the proof.
