Legalization of marijuana use is just the same as the illegalization of the substance. Both measures give the State a complete control over it.
In contrast, the decriminalization of the same substance means that the State doesn’t want to have something to do with it.
But of course, not everyone would want to share that interpretation, and would rather want the legalization of the substance which would mean regulation of its use.
Marijuana is one of the most useful plants we have on this planet and the criminalization of its use reflects how uncivilized our society really is.
