You may be aware an American basketball star was recently sentenced to nine years in prison for breaking Russia's marijuana law.
She uses it for medical purposes. That's legal in Arizona, where her team plays, but not Russia.
Did you know a man from Butler is in the same predicament?
Marc Fogle is serving a 14-year sentence for having 17 grams of pot he uses to relieve pain, but his case hasn't drawn nearly the same media coverage.
His friends and family protested Monday outside the White House, calling on the Biden administration to change Fogel's status to "wrongfully detained."
We say that's a good first step.
His name should also be added to any list of Americans who could be exchanged for Russians being held in the U.S.
We call on the White House to bring home and Americans serving extreme sentences for minor drug violations in Russia.
