LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA
Legalization vs. Decriminalization
• Legalization: the product would be sold legally and taxed in a well-regulated
market (like buying alcohol at the liquor store which is controlled by the state)
• Decriminalization: it would no longer be considered a punishable crime to possess,
but sale would still be a punishable offense.
