So, this case has been around for a while, but the US has been pushing for the release of Brittney Griner, WBNA star, who is being detained for trying to enter Russia with multiple cannisters of cannabis oil, which is illegal there.
Am I missing something here? Why should she be released when she tried to bring illegal drugs into another country? If I'm traveling to Thailand, I know better than to try and sneak in any drugs that are illegal there (see: ALL drugs) and frankly, if I'm ignorant enough to not check before going or gutsy enough to know and try anyway, I'm not sure I'd get any sort of campaign for my release...
But I must be missing something?
