It’s also not up to me. My opinion is that it’s their country and their laws, and so don’t smuggle drugs in a foreign country.

You must hate most of the world then, and that's kind of bigoted my friend. Truly ironic to be arguing we need to accept people while also ignoring that different groups of people have different laws and methods of crime/punishment.

When I first went overseas, we had all seen Midnight Express, so we had an idea of the risk of breaking drug laws in foreign countries.

As for Griner, i don’t think she was treated differently than anyone else. Yes, Russian prisons are terrible and below the basic standards for human rights. Britney Griner received inhumane treatment and no person deserves that. But she didn’t receive any worse treatment than if she was a nobody in that same situation. In fact, she got better treatment because the US paid the ransom.
