Cannabis (Weed) use in Russia

[Trenchcoat]

Well looks like they don't mess around with the Cannabis (Weed) issue in Russia:

Brittney Griner sentenced to nine years in Russian prison

If she appeals/gets time off on bail then she might get out in 5 years approx. Fortunately I don't do Weed but for anyone on here into it looks like Russia isn't the place to go.

Bit of a come down for her, guess she was on good money and had a nice lifestyle/lived in comfort. Now she's off to some 'penal colony' apparently maybe the Russian Version of Midnight Express.

and yet Moscow has at the top of the Cannabis distribution network, Cannabis Product dealers who sell millions of dollars worth of product every week...
weird paradox, huh?

go to ANY big Moscow park late at night and count the number of people with their lit-up cell phone screens, wandering around...
looking to find their "weed drop"

THIS is 21st century bootleggers in Rus-see-ya-later!
that COULD be the fathers of a new kingdom
if they can OVERGROW the Putin government!
