    It's not something I'm an expert in but as of a few years ago there was no study suggesting cbd does anything other than a placebo effect.

    Maybe something has come out since then. I ignore testimonials because of the possibility of a placebo effect. There needs to be a clinical study and a controlled group. Not seen one myself...

    How is that?
    I statd was said in court. Doesn’t matter if u believe it. You have no problems believing Trump and DeSantis and those MFs lie every other word. Who’s the idiot?

    Lol. You must be drunk again. I don't support Trump but you know that already unless you have dementia (which would explain a lot). I will vote for DeSantis if he runs. See how easy it is to actually tell you truth. How's your hero Kamala Harris working out lol

    Not sure what either of them have to do with each other. One is a high profile athlete that Russia is going to try use as a political pawn.

    The other is a random girl, that has no “value” to the masses.

    A bunch of American basketball players have signed contracts with Russian teams in the last few months. They're clearly not worried about the Griner situation. Why? I think the answer is clear.

    They are directly related when Griner's sentence is described as typical for her offense. Clearly, it is not. Why it isn't is obvious.

    Why isn’t it obvious that the sentence has nothing to do with the offense?
    One girl has no value, the other has value to Russia.
    It’s not that hard.

    Edit*
    It’s the same reason US military over there gets long sentences.
    You can say it’s unfair all you want, it’s not our country.

    In fact it works the exact opposite in the US, Griner is famous and wouldn’t have gotten anything but a slap on the wrist here. A normal person gets much harsher sentences than a famous person.

    The sentencing guideline is 8 to 20 years.

    Sounds like the other girl got lucky....

    FYP. In Russia that's a much more damning trait.

    That's not the guidelines. 10 years was the max that Griner could get.
    @Deckard proved to you that this has nothing to do with guidelines, so your point is totally mute.

    In Russia, judicial branch is same as executive branch - there is no separation. That's the only important thing imo.

    Russia does what Russia wants to do. We may not like it, but it's the way it is and the way it's going to be. I just hope they don't trade her for an arms dealer.

    It's seems counter intuitive to smoke anything and claim medical benefits of smoking.

    It's been used for thousands of years for medicinal reasons all over the world. It isn't counter intuitive at all. You're assuming that it's only use is for pleasure or to make rope. That's not the only thing hemp, in it's varieties, is good for. Also, smoking it isn't the only way to ingest it.

    Its
    Griner was prescribed Cannabis oil... to smoke. The medical thing she'll get from that is Emphysema.
    Sure, maybe it was used for many years. Oil and gas has been used for many years as well. Don't you wanna switch to green energy now?
