     Decriminalizing it doesn't mean legalising it.  It would be
treated similar to a traffic infraction (i.e. you would get a ticket
and have to pay a fine, and that would be the end of it; in otherwords
no criminal record, etc.).  Also, only possession of small amounts is
being decriminalized.  A large grow op obviously intended for
distribution would still be a crime.
