7/14 @ricolamitte #SOTD from this morning’s @thestateofcannabis NewsHour on @Clubhouse & @twitter Spaces: “American Israeli woman jailed in Russia over cannabis speaks out in support of Brittney Griner“ by Cydney Henderson via @usatoday As more details emerge on the ongoing Brittney Griner Russia saga, one question many have about the basketball star’s case is what her living conditions might really look like beyond what Russian state television’s been showing 🤔🤔 In an eerily similar case from 2019, an American Israeli woman who grew up in New Jersey spent 10 months in Russian prison & spoke out in an interview with NBC News’ Kate Snow recounting how her situation played out and what might be expected of Griner’s conditions as a political pawn under Putin’s control. Much like WNBA Star, Naama Issachar did time for traveling with a small amount of cannabis and she says she knows what the Brittney G is going through 🧐🧐 Both women have different backgrounds & the global circumstances are incredibly different; but if Issachar’s words are to be believed, it’s not hard to believe Griner’s status as a high profile, 6’10, Black, queer political prisoner would just make things worse. But hey- maybe if she smiles a bit more for the cameras, they’ll be lenient on sentencing… 🤦 Brittney Griner’s court appearance today ended without a verdict. Another hearing is scheduled for Friday 🐸🍵 #SOCNH #canivisionglobal #freebrittneyg #politicalprisoner #usatoday #nbcnews #russia #lockedupabroad #industryheadlines Miss The State of Cannabis NewHour’s LIVE recording today?

Via @3newsnow - In a roomful of veterans after announcing Nebraska joining 35 states in "Governor’s Challenge to Prevent Suicide" Republican @govricketts said when speaking on evidence medical cannabis works for PTSD, “There’s no data to support that” 🤔 Unlike Dem predecessor Bob Kerrey who in 2010 w/media personality & vet @montel_williams called for med cannabis to treat PTSD & dispensed at VA hospitals, Ricketts has taken cannabis as PTSD & suicide treatment off the table 2021 National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report: 6,261 US vets committed suicide In 2019, averaging 17/day; 2x higher than civilians Countless studies show PTSD diagnosed vets seeking alternative treatments find cannabis both popular & effective Citing conflicting studies w/opposing conclusions on safety/usage, Ricketts says Nebraska vets will pass 🧐 Per @benzinga - despite remaining federally illegal, recent VA website post read “veteran participation in state marijuana programs does not affect eligibility for VA care and services” Bill sponsored by Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) allows VA physicians to discuss cannabis treatment w/vets, offering protection against past consumption scrutiny You’d think Ricketts'd be open to non-opioid solutions, but yeah...

Should you STFU? Nah The gut says, “keep speaking that ‘TRUTH’ bruh... it ain’t right!” Don’t matter it's lies to everyone else Science & data says you have the chance to champion an economic boon to create thousands of jobs in a state flanked each side by others making ACTUAL million$ in tax revenue from YOUR citizens hopping over the border to take advantage Science & data obviously don’t speak gut 🧐🧐 So what do you do? Hop on the “news” network most fluent in gut reporting... @newsmax The gut speaks through you saying legalization makes states administer free pot giveaways leading to joblessness, an emotional dependency of “taking joints” to get outta bed, & self-prescribing yourself 4/day before operating heavy machinery You crushed that interview, bro Or was it the gut?
