Decriminalizing marijuana is a good first step to ending the HW Bush war on drugs. The reason it’s illegal has more to do with the prison industrial complex wanting more and more money for prisons and more people in prison
Trump just signed the justice reform bill, which will give judges greater ability to reduce sentences in drug cases, especially canabis.
Also, legalize and decriminalize is not the same thing. Decriminalize implies its still illegal, just with reduced penalties. That may be a corruption of the word, but in many jurisdictions outside the U.S. and even a few in the U.S., such as NYC, that is how the word is used.
