Decriminalizing is horrible for the industry and MMJ movement.

It doesn't recognize MMJ as a medicine and users can still lose their jobs, even in a MMJ state.

It still allows for prosecution of farmers and distributors.

It's letting politicians take the easy way out:
1) They can say they support MMJ and want to stop sending users to jail to appease their liberal voters.
2) As well, they can say they're releasing the police to spend resources on more important issues, that they're saving taxpayers money by not arresting, prosecuting and incarcerating users and make their conservative voters happy.
3) They can please their libertarian voters by showing those reductions and that no new administration organizations are required and are an approach to 'smaller government'.
4) They can also say that they are not legalizing it for their hard core religious voters.

We let the politicians push this political pawn around and avoid the real issues: we need federal rescheduling to open the flood gates and really allow this industry to flourish and take back this flower from the cartels and street gangs.
