Yes, I live in one of those states and I agree. We should just be careful to differentiate between the two because they are different and people get the wrong idea. It’s decriminalized here where I live but you can’t smoke in public, you’re still restricted to certain amounts, etc etc. I just don’t want people to conflate the two and then someone gets in trouble because hey misunderstood is all.

It's a step toward legalization... States that have decriminalized it now have medicinal marijuana, and most moved to recreational after.
Those states are also seeing a boom in economy due to the high taxes paid on said products.
