She was readying quickly for her flight to Russia in February and inadvertently packed the smoking cartridges with the small amounts of hashish oil — less than a single gram, according to prosecutors.

Is one gram of hashish oil enough to get you high?

If not, why do they add it to the smoking cartridges?

Is that stuff legal in the US?

Yeah, I looked it up after posting.

I don’t think she will serve 10 years. She is a stupid person whose arrogance led her into making herself a political pawn. I just don’t see them keeping her for 10 years. It’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out.

I hope the bitch dies in a Russian gulag mouthing off to a prison guard and getting her skull bashed in.

And it’s why Brandon’s handlers will agree at some point to a very unfavorable deal to get her back. The PR campaign to get her back ratcheted up this month. Soon it’ll be, “If you don’t give Russia anything they want to get this freak home, you’re racist and maybe we should riot.”

She wont be there for 10 years. Trump will have her released in 2025

Griner outranks any American Prison Guard, but Griner may find out that Russian Prison Guards outrank Griner.

Anything is legal in the US IF you're a Woke Prog Leftist Democrat.

I have heard the standard sentence for this is 10 years.

And yes, it is a very simple path. Just serve your time, then get released. Simple, but not pleasant.

She could probably get out early, too.

Lady, serve your time.

I would say the same thing if it were a straight white male sports star.

Unlike the U.S., some countries in the world still practice “accountability” for drug crimes.

Barf. And not a mention in the news story on how Griner kneeled during the national anthem played before her basketball games in the USA. So forgive me for not being upset that she is no longer in the USA, and for all I care, she can stay in Russia forever.

Trump should fly to Moscow and secure her release.

The Rats and the media would say that proves Russian collusion

No, her getting arrested is a way for Biden to give Putin someone valuable while making a bad trade look like a humanitarian victory to his idiot voters.. Same crap Obama pulled with the Bergdahl trade, where we traded off dangerous drug trading Haqqani network terrorists in exchange for a deserter.

It can't be illegal for Griner in the US.

The Official US Government and State Department position is "Brittney Griner is "Wrongfully Detained" in Russia, and Russia is always wrong when they don't do what the US Government and State tell them to do.

Would the US Government and State Lie?

I remember that the kid who was caned in Singapore got a reduced sentence. Something like he was sentenced to six strikes but it was reduced to three. Then they sent him home to the US.
