Hmmm. US basketball player Brittney Griner is sentenced to 9 years in Russia for smuggling marijuana into the country. (Not just possession)
I haven’t seen any media reports about US drug smuggling penalties.
Marijuana is a Schedule I drug – I believe with a guideline minimum 5 year sentence for smuggling it into the country and up to 20 years.
FYI – Even Cocaine and Meth are NOT Schedule I drugs.
FYI Again – California has a shorter prison sentence for rape.
I’m not saying Griner should be in prison, but President Biden is talking about a trade releasing the Merchant of Death who killed people – for someone subject to prison for the same crime in the US.
As for simple drug possession, for that hundreds of thousands of Americans have been jailed, lost their jobs, lost their homes, and seen dreams and their lives ruined. Something Biden voted for and has wanted.
Let me know when Biden and the government put people ahead of politics.
