Hash oil was fun in the day

“Your papers are not in order.”

 

[TheBigUglies]

I feel sorry for her that she is in the situation but I mean c'mon in light of current events don't be stupid and follow the rules. Hopefully she can get out of there sooner rather than later.

Or, it wouldn’t be the first time a pro athlete did something stupid.

 

[RockyMtnLion]

Or Russian authorities did something authoritarian and declared cbd oil, hash oil.

That would never happen here

 

[RockyMtnLion]

Certainly not in Colorado, where I happen to live.

 

[91Joe95]

Or maybe Russia is just making **** up to remind people that they can take hostages and cause harm to US citizens.

It happened in February.

 

[EPC FAN]

It happened in February.

It’s March 6.

 

[PSUJam]

It’s March 6.

Indeed.

 

[Auxgym]

File this under things that happen when you are dumb enough to go to a communist country........

 

[Nitt1300]

I won't believe anything the Russians say until they put a bullet in Putin's head

 

[Aquapong]

Very outspoken anti-American. I’ll bet she’s quite pro American now that she needs help.

I fear she will never be seen again.

 

[Lmdm]

I am not familiar with her and her views or whatever. However, I’ve travelled all over the world and you should be familiar with a countries laws and restrictions. You can get in serious trouble real quick.

Why do you say she’s anti American? I am not familiar with her activism.

 

[Midnighter]

I read that she makes more than $1mm a year playing basketball in Russia - which is more than 4x what she makes in the US. How does that work?

smh, man, I wouldn't give the Russians any excuse to detain me. I read a little about hash oil and it sounds way too complicated to use. Plus it looks and sounds way too unhealthy.

Some of the Russian teams are playthings for rich, often mobbed up, businessmen. The owner of one of the Moscow teams was shot and killed in what was reported to be a professional hit about ten years ago.

I think kids today think they can bullshiit their way out of everything and expect to get a medal for it....

And this is why I choose not to travel all over the world.

 

[Waaaaaaaany]

I fear she will never be seen again.

So not much different than if she played a full WNBA season?

 

[91Joe95]

Other than a couple of her teammates saying they were told not to say much I haven't heard a peep about her in the news. Nice to see the State Department reclassified her case.

Funny how that works out! Many Europeans fall into that trap!

 

[MacNit]

Your loss.

 

[91Joe95]

Well this probably explains why her case was finally reclassified by the state department.

This is also why she pleaded guilty. Moves the exchange along faster…

So the trade is on for the "Merchant of Death?"
