Today Precious covers a headline out of Marijuana Moment: White House Condemns ‘Sham’ Russian Court After Brittney Griner’s Cannabis Appeal Denied, While Another American Marijuana Prisoner Cut Off From Family
Here's the breakdown: The U.S. government has strongly condemned a Russian court’s decision to reject an appeal for WNBA player Brittney Griner, who was sentenced to nine years in prison for possessing vape cartridges containing cannabis oil. Griner is a registered medical cannabis patient in Arizona, and the U.S. State Department has assigned her case as a wrongful detention. There’s some expectation that a prisoner swap may be on the table once the judicial appeals process is exhausted. “President Biden has been very clear that Brittney should be released immediately,” said White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.
