Kalob Wayne

Kalob Wayne is a 28-year-old American citizen who was arrested in Moscow in February 2023 for attempting to smuggle candies containing cannabis. His parents reported that he is currently at the U.S. embassy in Russia, awaiting a flight back to the United States after his release. Wayne has a long history of severe epilepsy, which has led him to use legally permissible CBD-infused products for relief. His family has emphasized that he is not a drug user or trafficker, but rather a law-abiding citizen preparing for his upcoming wedding.
