OK people, time for a vocabulary lesson: decriminalized does NOT mean legalized! If pot is decriminalized (which is sure to happen shortly), it will still be illegal, but people caught with small quantities that doesn't make them a dealer will receive fines (if any) instead of jail time. It will certainly not become like cigarettes! It will not become available in packs at the corner store and taxed up the ass by the government! Decriminalization's primary aim is to ease the workload for cops and the courts on what amounts to being a minor threat on society at large, when compared to harder drugs and crimes.
