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.
