[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it’s Turks & Caicos, not Russia. It is against the law to have firearms or ammunition there. [/quote]

But the vape cartridge was against the law in Russia. Why respect one country’s laws but not another?

Oh are we taking Russia’s word for it? [/quote]
Griner herself admitted she had marijuana on her. [/quote]

She had a CBD vape pen. [/quote]

No it was regular THC cannabis not CBD. Get the basic facts straight maybe?[/quote]

It was doctor prescribed cannabis oil.

Maybe stop trying to paint her as some kind of junkie. [/quote]

It’s hard to argue with stupid. Please try to follow along:

- pp said “CBD vape pen” in an attempt to minimize/excuse her stupid actions
- I corrected that inaccuracy with the fact that the oil was plain old THC that gets you high not just CBD 
- then you confirmed my posted facts but don’t seem to comprehend what you are talking about

I fully support cannabis legalization and use but to pretend that she was carrying anything less than a full potency cape cart is disingenuous at best. I have been a user for decades so this isn’t about “painting her as a junkie” wtf.[/quote]

This whole thread is trying to make Griner seem unworthy of the help she recieved. You tried to paint her as a unworthy because she had "drugs" on her. I had originally read that it was a cbd pen for pain management. I corrected it upon learning it was regular cannabis, but I think the important thing here is that it was medicine prescribed by a doctor.

People talk about her case dismissively as though she's some kind of degenerate who deserved what she got, when we're talking about someone who was held in a Russian prison, charged with drug smuggling, because of some medicine her doctor prescribed.

To compare that to a couple of yahoos getting into trouble for illegally carrying a bunch of bullets in their luggage is kind of ridiculous.

The real issue here is you all resent a Black woman being treated like she matters. [/quote]
I’m sure Griner never touch the stuff until she received that prescription.  :roll:[/quote]
