Reply to comment by ultralane in Brittney Griner Awarded "Arizonian of the Year" by Clean_Sheets_69

How the hell does she not know she has it. And I was bringing up domestic flights for two reasons

  1. she was probably on a domestic flight at some point (Arizona to NY perhaps?) with the THC. This is illegal. Or did she procure the THC while in Russia? That is illegal as well and then would nullify the “I really didn’t know I had THC on me.” argument.
  2. international flights rules are usually stricter. I don’t know what they were for her flight but it is on her for finding out.

I agree it was a big front and politicized. Her stupidity did not warrant the punishment. But her stupidity should also not warrant the award.

Iirc, he was an extremely small amount that would so its possible she just missed it. Also, she benefited from her employer being real powerful that gave her more leniency for some rules that she may not have known existed. If you don't know Russian, then it would be damn near impossible to know the regulations by the letter of the word. I would imagine that her having THC was previously allowed for flights in Russian because of her employer said so.

Edit: Some of the post is a bit speculative, but I don't think its farfetched and gives some benefit of the doubt when people are hellbent on running her over with a bus.
