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.

Blog post said majority of sentence was for marijuana. Where do you find this other stuff?

I mean it would be sad if he was lying - but i don’t see any of that.

Saying that he got his time for marijuana seems to be a big stretch.
