Biden mad when Russians convict person for marijuana possession. Biden seemingly unaware that the US has imposed far harsher sentences for the same crime.

“It’s unacceptable, and I call on Russia to release her immediately,” Biden said in a statement.

Numerous people are rotting in federal prison with life sentences for possession of marijuana. Biden could use his authority to release thousands of detainees today. Instead, he wants to criticize Russia for imposing a more lenient sentence than the same person would have gotten in the US.
