What Is Decriminalization

What is decriminalization?

A) It is the regulated legal use of marijuana for medicinal purposes as prescribed by a medical professional.
B) For past cases found to be extreme in punishment (such as long sentences for possession of a small quantity of marijuana) , this would clear people's records and prompt early prison release.
C) It means technically marijuana use and distribution are still illegal, but law enforcement and court systems avoid addressing the issue entirely.
D) This strategy does not punish offenders for possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use. It is a "soft" policy of increased tolerance instead of a hardline approach that involves aggressive law enforcement and criminal prosecution.
