What do you consider to be the difference(s) between decriminalization and full legalization?

1> With decrim, it will still not be legal (any more legal than speeding is) to possess marijuana. It would be reduced to a civil infraction.

2> With decrim, there will still be no age limit on possessing marijuana (which I believe will turn off some people riding the fence on the legalization issue.

3> With decrim, people will still have to go to illegal dealers and pay jacked up black market prices for good marijuana. (I know I sure as hell can’t grow it worth shit....of course I could learn if it was "legal" to do so)

While I'd be more than happy to have marijuana decriminalized, I definitely don't stop there when it comes to continuing "our cause" for legal marijuana. Full legalization and regulation is what
marijuana deserves.
