Russia can release these guys all day long because it is so easy to falsely arrest another American tomorrow to be a bargaining chip.
A Moscow court has ordered a U.S. citizen suspected of drug smuggling held in pre-trial detention for 30 days, the Moscow courts press service said Saturday, days after a Moscow-Washington prisoner swap that the White House called a diplomatic thaw and a step toward ending the fighting in Ukraine.
The U.S. citizen, whom Saturday’s statement named as Kalob Wayne Byers, was detained after airport customs officials found cannabis-laced marmalade in his baggage.
Bringing in marijuana gummies into Russia.
If I were a customs officer I’d certainly check his bags for drugs just by his looks alone.
Wish we were as diligent with the people bringing in drugs.
The guy and his Russian fiancee were arrested Feb. 7 at Moscow airport. According to Russian government, they both had cannabis gummies and some kind of marijuana-laced jam-product.
I nearly brought my CBD oil with me when I moved to Russia, but fortunately, I remembered I had it in my bag before boarding the plane.
Not worth the risk.
Honestly, how stupid do you have to be to travel ANYWHERE with ANYTHING mind-altering??? It’s not like these things are difficult to find when you’re traveling. Just buy locally, and toss what you don’t use before flying home. Sheesh. You’re going to prison, in a foreign country, all for $30 worth of gummies??? You almost have to want to get caught at that point.
