Reading this, I think it's a crime that this guy is not out on early release. The majority of his sentence was for marijuana, which is now widely decriminalized and in some places legalized.

I do not believe this is true. Looking at the record, marijuana is one of a few drugs. The specific incident that led to his current sentence is related to a powerful opioid. This is corroborated by Preston's own personal website.

He received a suspended sentence for the marijuana. But then he breached his probation, and there were later charges including one for carfentanil.

      Why would you take him at his word when he's a self-admitted bad actor and therefore likely to be an unreliable narrator?

I agree he should be released but using the mail to transport marijuana across state lines is definitely not legalized or decriminalized anywhere.

    No but in my mind on principle because it’s legalized and decriminalized, this should not be a 10 year sentence.
