Trial Focuses On Cannabis As Legal In Other Countries

WNBA star Brittney Griner’s Russian trial focused Tuesday on testimony that while cannabis is illegal in Russia, it’s viewed as having legitimate medicinal use in other countries.

Griner’s defense team had previously submitted a U.S. doctor’s letter recommending she use cannabis to treat pain.

Griner pled guilty to drug possession charges earlier this month after she was found at a Moscow airport in February to be carrying vape canisters containing cannabis oil and was arrested. But she also said she had no criminal intent, and that the canisters were in her luggage inadvertently because she has quickly packed.
