WNBA star Brittney Griner recalled her arrest in Russia over cartridges which contained oils derived from cannabis in an interview on 'Good Morning America.'
Brittney Griner was arrested at a Russian airport in 2022, when it was discovered she had cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage as she returned to the country to play basketball. Griner blamed a 'mental lapse' for having the cartridges in her luggage and flying to a country where marijuana and medical cannabis are still against the law. She was imprisoned from February to December before she was a part of a prisoner swap for arms dealer Viktor Bout.
The WNBA star talked to Robin Roberts about her detention on ABC’s 'Good Morning America.' A snippet of the interview aired Monday, with the full segment being released Wednesday. Roberts asked Griner what she had to say to the skeptics who could not believe she had simply forgotten she had the cartridges on her.
