Not to defend the author, but I think a more generous reading of this section from the blogpost:

> A brief summary is that I'm currently serving prison time for poor decisions and lifestyle choices I made in my twenties, all related to drugs.

Is that their poor decisions were related to drugs.

In his earlier blog post that this one links, he says:

> I've spent just under 10 years of my life in Prison (all for non-violent drug crimes.)

Him claiming he's in prison for non-violent crimes (like he's your local herb dealer) takes gumption...Authorities linked his Carfentanil escapades to several deaths.

Indirectly causing a death doesn't make a crime violent. A doctor guilty of fatal negligence isn't a violent criminal either.
