“Marijuana use and possession WERE crimes at the time of their conviction. Let them complete their sentences.”...........
Just a question to you....... if the law has been changed, should those jailed by the old laws be allowed to judged by the new laws?
It all hinges on what the law was at the time of the offense. If that’s what the law was at the time, then that’s what they are judged by.

Should "educators" be allowed to villainize heroic people of history because of changed social values over time? Of course not but try they do.
In this case Tyson has a point beyond the obvious hypocrisy happening - Biden's masters giving free reign to the drug/human smuggling cartels.
In some cases where "old laws" are twisted around to devise life-destroying draconian punishments for misdemeanors (J6ers!) we absolutely require re-trials for those poor kangarooed people.
Frankly we have the largest amount of prisoners on the planet for the sole purpose of feeding a combined government/privately run incarceration system that profits while stupid people scooped up into it's clutches learn to be better criminals - when they would have continued being regular citizens.
Between one end and the other 'the House always wins'.
