On the individual level, it will be business as usual, only even simpler. In Montreal, we (my friends and I) used to carry two small stashes on us if and when we decided to carry some weed around (to a party or the Tams festival on Mount Royal, the only way to fly). If we got busted, which happened only a couple times, we would just hand the smaller stash (usually half an ounce) to the cops, who would then toss it in a storm drain. No fine, no hassle, and we still had a backup stash. The average Montreal beat cop did not want to fuck around with paperwork before and they sure as hell won't be inclined to do so upon decriminalization. If anything, people will get a bit bolder and carry more.
Still, as was mentioned before, decriminalization is a good thing. Less clogging of the courts and more mellowed out people that don't fuck with anyone. To paraphrase Bill Hicks, you never see people on pot start trouble because it is fucking impossible.
