There seem to be (at least) three groups here - those who believe she is guilty and deserves the punishment; those who believe she is guilty but think the sentence is harsh; and those who think she is innocent and was framed.
The problem with the third group is that there does not seem to be any evidence that she was framed. She admitted that she brought the drugs into the country but it was inadvertent. I don't believe that she has ever even suggested that she was framed. In fact, it came out during the trial that she had a prescription for medical cannabis. (I am not sure if a prescription for medical cannabis is the same as cannabis oil.) But again, she “inadvertently” forgot to bring the two-year-old medical marijuana prescription when she traveled to Russia.
So if she was framed, it seems to be a remarkable coincidence that they framed her with the one drug that she apparently uses. I have not heard anyone - Griner, or any of her supporters - say that she did not use marijuana. I agree it is possible that they framed her but, at this point, there seems to be no evidence that it was done.
