Decriminalize can also mean that possession of small amounts is no longer illegal. For example if you have 7g that's not bad, if you have 7lbs though? That's a problem.
That's not what it means. Think about the word. De-criminalize. To make non criminal, still controlled by gov and fines can be imposed for violating. Like a parking ticket, you dont go to jail but you still get a smack on the back of the hand
