#brittneygriner The nine-year prison sentence that Brittany Griner got in Moscow yesterday is a warning for many of you. She was caught with a tiny amount of marijuana that she claimed was medical marijuana. In many American states and some foreign countries, this is legal. Here in the US, a traveler must be very careful about marijuana that could be legal in one state and illegal in other states.
When we start to talk about travel to foreign countries, marijuana is not the only problem that you have to worry about. If you go to some Middle East countries, your prescription drugs that are legal in most of the world may not be legal there. For example, you might have Valium to help you with mental health issues. Even if it is properly prescribed, you could find yourself under arrest and facing harsh penalties. Some countries like China, Iran, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia have the death penalty on the books for any drug infraction.
Elena made the comment that one should check with the airline you have a ticket booked about drug laws and regulations in the country where you are traveling to.
My advice is to talk to the embassy of the country that you are traveling to make sure that you are following all their drug laws and regulations. Iran does not have embassies in many countries. You need to do careful online research.

Say, what would Griner's sentence be if she had done the same thing, but bringing it into the US?

US Customs and TSA are morons. Might be different if a Russian was coming in, but a US citizen could easily bring in cocaine or heroin from a foreign country. They wouldn't even care about weed.

Any US citizen arriving in Russia is amazingly scrutinized. Had a friend go pre-covid. It was a pain in the ass. Griner was retard level stupid trying to bring pot to another country and that being Russia. There's not much else to it.

considering we are in a proxy war with them, I would expect them to treat us like shit. We are literally funding weapons to kill their soldiers. Griner is fucking retarded if she thinks Russians will like her.
