WNBA star Brittney Griner shared her story for the first time about her harrowing months-long detention in Russia in an exclusive 20/20 special that will air on May 1.
1: No she wouldn’t. Federal law enforcement doesn’t pursue weed charges anymore. Thus Biden making a big deal out of pardoning all weed charges and everyone pointing out that there is literally no one in federal prison for weed.
2: They found an empty cartridge in her luggage. That was the law she “admitted to breaking.”
That’s not true. Federal law enforcement does pursue weed charges, as it’s still a scheduled substance. Biden also did not pardon all weed charges, only some simple possession cases. Where are you getting your information from?
If the federal government was actually treating weed sale and possession like a drug crime, half the state governors would be in jail for criminal conspiracy and every dispensary’s accounts would be frozen.
There is no one in federal prison for possession alone. Other charges, sure, and pigs going to pig on charges, but in 2022 when Biden pushed out the last round of pardons and expungements there was literally not one person in federal prison for possession. They also will not arrest growers or farmers (though they will confiscate it under some circumstances)
Now, remind me.
What “crime” were you whining about her, or your hypothetical Dutch tourist, committing again?
You completely misunderstand bringing control substances, even residue, across a federal border. The US CBP absolutely does charge and prosecute for marijuana. CBP is like the TSA of border crossings, part of Homeland Security. They do not F around with drugs, even marijuana. Heck they’ll throw grandma in jail for not having her prescriptions in the proper containers.

Even pot advocacy groups indicate that people are still serving for marijuana offenses

From this source:
People are literally still in federal prison for marijuana. People still get arrested for grow and distribution operations.
I’m not whining about anything and I’m not the original poster of this thread. I’m disputing your claims.
There was no one to release because there was no one in jail.
Cope.
