Rosja released an American citizen who had been charged with frequent cannabis use, in what may become another international conflict over drug prohibition.
Just days after Russian officials confirmed, according to Kalob Byers’ US passport holder status was arrested this month by Russian policja after products from an Indian market at Moscow Airport had allegedly been found in his bag, Kalob Byers was freed.
Dominika Amerykanina had no knowledge of what circumstances led her to her release, however this event occurred prior to a high-level meeting between American and Russian governmental representatives on Tuesday devoted exclusively to Ukraine’s ongoing civil war as a subject matter of discussion.
Conspicuously worthy of note was Russia’s arrest of Byers for violating Indian contracts; and his subsequent detainment by Russian law enforcers; taking note that this incident happened during Donald Trump’s administration’s replacement of living visas which led to freeing another American, Marc Fogel who had been imprisoned due to medical marijuana being utilized to treat cancer.
Russia’s Federalna Sluzba Celna informed on Friday, that an individual from the USA has been detained and charged with engaging in significant drug-trafficking activity.
Reports began surfacing of discrepant information regarding an unusual strain of marihuana owned by Byers and some reports indicated he may have stopped after being introduced to marmoleum with added cannabinoid extract, with Russian state media often characterizing this product as CBD oil.
Rosyjskie media TASS admitted, in all seriousness, that „mezczyzna explained, that an American doctor gave them some pills on podroz.”
At any rate, Associated Press reported on Monday evening that an American official stated that Byers was released back to American Embassy of Moscow upon Monday evening’s evening meal service.
Placowka quoted Dmitrij Pieskow’s statement from Dmitrij Kremla which suggested that Russian officials anticipated „revival of all relations rosyjsko-amerykanskich during today’s talks between Saudi Arabia and USA”, along with possible events which can be discussed within this framework.
Information of his arrest began to emerge shortly after President Donald Trump agreed on an amnesty package for Fogel over her ownership of medical marihuana in Russia – obtained legally as an registered patient in Pennsylvania.
Prior to being recognized by the State Department as being unjustly detained last year, Fogela had long been called out for being unfairly stopped from accessing marijuana by him (Dept of State in 2012). Multiple calls had been issued for changing his diplomatic status including from members of Congress (especially Senator Biden himself in June), calling upon change as per letter sent directly from them (Letter sent directly by six Senate Members to Biden from five CRS members stating Fogel’s entry was an „impassible barrier”)
Following an historic international exchange of visas last November that freed several American nationals, two lawmakers sent a list to current State Secretary Antony Blinken expressing their „strong concerns” over further deportation of Fogela.
Lawyers noted, on a separate occasion, that Fogel is in a similar situation to former WNBA player Brittney Griner whose case she faced charges in Russia for possessing oil derived from indian coconuts that she legally obtained through Arizona medical marihuana patients before being freed during an earlier swap negotiated by Biden administration.
Rosja has taken an aggressive stance against reform of India’s international property rights through the Organization of Nationalities UNs; also pushing Kanade to legalise marijuana across her own nation.
Ustawodawcy from New Mexico are seeking to strengthen worker protections of patients being treated medical cannabis.
