“While three grams is the smallest amount of any state that has decriminalized simple possession, removing criminal penalties and possible jail time is still an improvement,” the Marijuana Policy Project said on Twitter.

Marijuana decriminalization is different from marijuana legalization. Under decriminalization, possession of marijuana will no longer carry a jail sentence, however will continue to carry a fine. Under legalization, there are no penalties for marijuana possession, while sales are also usually allowed. In the U.S., eleven states and Washington, D.C., have legalized marijuana. However, Washington D.C. and Vermont have not allowed sales for recreational purposes. While fifteen additional states have only decriminalized marijuana. Hawaii doesn’t seem ready for legalization, but it has now embraced decriminalization.

Closing

The concern for legalization advocates is that decriminalization keeps the ban on selling marijuana, which means criminal organizations would still have customers. The fines can also cause problems, since they’re often applied in a racially disparate manner.
