I have a high-school friend in prison for 20+ years for marijuana-related charges.
I now live in a recreationally legal state, the irony is not lost on me.

Many of them are truly good people.
No they aren't. Only 20% of inmates are in jail for drug offenses and only a tiny fraction (if there's even one) is on a life time sentence for dealing weed.
If prison hasn't fucked them up. I really hope these people will find their way in society if there's ever a pardon, because it might be really had to adapt to normal life, even if you ended up in jail for something as stupidly innocuous as smoking weed.
Just not at all true.
