pretty fucked, can’t wait to see if Sleepy Joe can pull off a prisoner swap while tens of thousands of Black Americans rot in prison for weed possession

Have to wonder who pushed for Russia to adopt these draconian laws on marijuana

Tbh this was definitely a political prisoner type situation. Under their own laws she gets like a month in prison for this. She obviously wasn’t looking to distribute with less than a gram of oil. It’s absurd on its face. It’s a shame she is caught in the political crossfire.

Yeah I read somewhere that the sentencing judge straight out said that the sentence was partially retaliation for America trying to politicize the trial.

Stalinist

Opinion discarded.

Also, how the fuck is this victim blaming? Omega didn’t even mention Griner in that comment. Placing Russia’s reactionary attitudes within a larger context that the US pushed them towards those attitudes is just historical materialism.

I want every Russian to become a homosexual. That’s why Khrushchev murdered me, he was jealous of my ideas.

Thinking Queer Rights are somehow a luxury product is western decadence. There are many native LGBTQIA orgs and groups in Russia.

Repeating the myth that queerness is all CIA funded is doing the job of the Russian Orthodox church for them.

Russia is a conservative country

Bah, insulting. After the next revolution, just purge the Russian Orthodox church and gulag biggots again. Countries become socially liberated when you re-educate and/or execute anyone hateful that gets in the way.

Uh hello? I’m referring to the war on drugs which the US started and forced many MANY countries into participating in despite a local and historical apathy towards drug usage, particularly marijuana. Instead you think that I’m asserting that bc the west has adopted a more (and only somewhat better view, lmao) lackadaisical approach to marijuana legalization, that the Russians were somehow in their right to oppose it now? Huh?

Not having gay rights is western decadence.

Mighty big if on that prisoner exchange

Chuds are already getting mad that we’d trade “Mad Ivan the Butcher” for a WNBA player

Unironically sounding like a chud and y’all are agreeing with them. Sad.

:I-was-saying: I think that Russia (likely thousands of miles away) should change its drug laws to best suit my Western weed-smoking lifestyle

I’m actually going to say that any country that thinks it’s okay to lock people up for marijuana should change its drug laws. It’s a needlessly cruel punishment for a victimless crime and even if you want to argue that drugs are bad for society, it’s not like people aren’t still getting legally drunk.

I don’t know what to tell you. A lot of people here like weed, there’s nothing particularly western about it. Or at least western in a sense Russia isn’t western.

People obviously shouldn’t be imprisoned for marijuana regardless of anyone’s “western weed-smoking lifestyle”.

So you support these types of draconian anti-drug laws? I can understand why they exist, but it doesn’t make them right.
