I wonder how you'd do alone in a Russian prison with no meds, no care and no English, Bob.
You are human. Compassion was part of the basic kit; try it out sometime.

@Graylight you people on here talk about corporate greed what about the so called professional sports players. She's a millionaire as it is and needs more money so chooses to play and do drugs in russia. Because she is above the law.
Personally i have no problem with a prisoner swap as long as she completes her full sentence in the USA

@MarineBob She's young and alone. She swims in a sea of regret for what's happened. And she's an unwitting political pawn of two nations now. She wakes alone, eats alone, lives alone and lays her head down at night alone.
She brought CBD oil on a flight. Stupid beyond measure, yes, but it's a harmless (useless) compound in no way whatsoever within the realm of drugs. Think of the times you've been fortunate enough to be with a loved one or have one there when it was needed, when things were dicey, frightening, uncertain.
It's possible to watch someone pay for their misdeeds and still have human compassion. If not, what's the whole point of being here? Owning the HOA?

@MarineBob You don't need a cannabis card to buy CBD oil. I can pick it up at my local drug store because it's not a drug.
A 9-year prison term for a substance that doesn't fall under the correct category is abusive. The length of the sentence is absurd. It would be like letting you die in prison, Bob, for bringing exotic fruit into the country.

@MarineBob I walked onto a cruise ship once with non-declared alcohol. I could still be in prison. A productive, educated, contributing member of society who made an impetuous juvenile decision based on bad information. So I guess now we execute every hit and run, behead those caught drinking underage and, of course, let's start swimming those witches just as soon as we can.
Some fun facts, Bob: Cannabis in Russia is illegal, true. Possession of up to 6 grams (or two grams of hashish) is an administrative offense, punishable by a fine or detention of 15 days. Possession of larger amounts is a criminal offense.*
Marijuana is different from CBD. CBD is a single compound in the cannabis plant, and marijuana is a type of cannabis plant or plant material that contains many naturally occurring compounds, including CBD and THC.
Now, the substance brought in has been referred to as hashish oil, cannabis infused vape cartridge and CBD oil. Only one of those can be true, but let's assume the worst. Let's assume she has straight Hash on her possession, all .75 grams she was charged with carrying, well below the 2 gram / 15-day term law that exists on the books. She was given 9 years. 219 times the strongest sentence allowed by law.
Now, if that's good law to you Bob, then I hope for your sake you're more clear and cogent on health care.
