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.
Can we send Lebron James over there to be in prison with her?
Not like any kind of exchange or anything. We dont want him so can we send him to prison over there? Pot smoking race baiting traitors are prime choice for Putin to put on display behind bars to keep his serfs in line.
You don’t think Griner’s detention is related to Russian athletes being blacklisted? Perhaps a coloring book would help you figure it out.
I do not trust Russia, especially now. If she “confessed,” I would not be shocked if that was under duress or due to lawyer’s advice. I care about her politics (me no like), but she is an American. All that said, she is screwed unless Steven Seagal (or whomever) can do his magic.
What is the evidence for that "fact"?
It used to be that that “resume” would render you a shameful outcast anywhere in the world.
Today, especially here, it is swept under the rug, and the perpetrators are elevated to sainthood status for getting caught.
Saint Floyd George is a perfect example.
I keep saying, when the Chinese, or the Russians or the Muslims finally take over this insane asylum, bad as they are, it will be an improvement.
Griner needs a complete chromozone test in Russia so ‘it’ can be properly placed in the correct prison.
ZERO sympathy here.
I don’t see you having any proof and I figure you must be getting your “Facts” from a coloring book in Biden’s basement.
NOT Planted——arrogance on wheels.
There is no “proof” that Covid originated from a lab in Wuhan either. Some things you just trust to your eyes and ears.
Do you think it’s from the spring spraying ?
It’s MA’AM!
She got arrested one week before the Ukraine invasion.
Hopefully she’ll learn all about her beloved country Russia while she sits in a prison for fifteen years.
wonder how many times he’s taken a knee in prayer during his reeducation...
Putin should say he’ll release Griner when the January 6th hostages are released.
Look, I might agree with you if this Griner person hadn’t broken the law in someone else’s country and she was being held for no reason at all. She knew the rules, she had been there before.
Griner quite frankly operates in an arrogant, resentful, and entitled manner. Proof of that is on this thread. She has learned she isn’t anything special in Russia. If you see that as political, fine.
This person certainly isn’t beloved here or anywhere else it seems. Making a trade for a common thug who was being held responsible for her own actions makes us look like the fools. Maybe Griner will learn a valuable lesson about life from this.
Both the US and Russia have far more valuable people they could trade. This Whiner Griner isn’t one of them.
Me, too. After the Russians take Rapinoe as prisoner, I'd double-cross them and refuse to take Griner, and let the Russians keep both.
No did you read what I wrote?
She brought them, but it you think this isn’t a politically motivated action for publicly speaking our against Putin you are foolish.
If she hadn’t spoke out you think this would have become what it was? Hell no, like ya confiscation of the contraband and little more… not a months long incarceration and international affair.
You think she’s the first person who’s traveled with CBD oil products into or out of Russia? Of course not… and how many of them got locked up for it?!?
She made herself a target when she popped off, it was stupid of her.. and she’s paying the price for it.
Exactly.
Lol...hopefully we’ll still be able to fight back!
