Turns out TFA lies on his blog:

He's downplaying his crime. It wasn't just Marijuana.

Definitely a manipulative framing on his part. He originally was convicted for MDMA and marijuana, was released on probation and then was convicted for synthetic opioids. He's probably serving time right now for the marijuana for breaking his probation but he's not in prison now because of it.
