    Did Brit have a legit RX for her shit? If so then that changes things. But I don't think she did.

    She did have a legit prescription , and she showed proof in court and it was uncontested that she did. They claimed she was smuggling it in for sale which is all the more ridiculous because she had less than a gram. An Israeli woman who got caught bringing in over 10 grams just got sent home after being held for just a few months. They have several American “prisoners” that they have done this to. Fortunately for those other folks they finally arrested someone the news gives a shit about so maybe they will get some help too.
    Let those who are fond of blaming and finding fault, while they sit safely at home, ask, ‘Why did you not do thus and so?’I wish they were on this voyage; I well believe that another voyage of a different kind awaits them.”

    I get your point about her being an American, but is she really? I mean yeah, she is technically an American citizen by birth but she is a racist/"special" POS who smack-talks this country. I put her in the category with Bergdahl and Bobby Garwood. Keep 'em.

    We aren't going to agree on this but I can see your point, I just ain't onboard with it. YMMV, no hard feelings.

    Tens of thousands of US citizens die from Fentanyl brought into the US. Drug smugglers recently caught by US authorities with 150,000 Fentanyl pills then released on no cash bail.

    The notion that the US is in a position to lecture other countries about drug laws and enforcement is ludicrous.

    I’ll have to do some checking, but I was not aware that you could easily get a “legit prescription” for cannabinoids other than marinol. I live in a non-medical state so I may be showing my ignorance, but my understanding is that docs in medical states write recommendations, not prescriptions, due to the Schedule 1 nature of cannabis which is defined by having “no legitimate medical use”..

    I’ll have to remedy my ignorance.

    Federally you still can't, various states you can, so her script likely from her state of residence. Don't think matters anyway if one has a script for a drug that's not legal in another country. It may help in terms of evidence that she had no intent of distribution, but the amount she had makes that rather obvious. It's all moot as we know, she is caught up in current pissing match between powers, and the legals details are not relevant.

    Brings up another point. If I'm traveling to Germany I have to make sure my legal prescriptions are legal THERE. Why was that not done?

    And if it is my intention to go someplace "not friendly" with the US, like Iran, before I arrive with my prescriptions, I want something in writing FROM THEM that everything I'm bringing into the country is ok.

    She was unaware she had it in her bag. She is from Arizona where it is legal and she was prescribed it for pain management in lieu of opioids. She normally travels with it without issue and had a small amount remaining in a very slim device skinnier than a surefire tactical pen.

    Fortunately, I don't take any medications. But I did accidentally carry a speed strip into the airport and got all the way to the security checkpoint area before I realized it. Because I use the same bag for domestic travel, I had used it on my last trip to Orlando where I had carried my J-frame. Fortunately I had time to bail the hell out and ditch the ammo. I'll leave it to your imagination where the ammo went.

    And if YOU missed it, nobody would cry for you. But let a quasi sports celebrity make the same mistake.

    I have a Michigan carry permit, I live 20 miles from the ambassador bridge to Windsor. If I decide to go into Canada I better not have a gun in my possession, if I forget that I have a gun, I get to go to jail, it really is that simple.

    Follow the damn laws of the location you are going to or go to jail.
