"Damn n----, iz 40 beans (dollars) a queezy (quad)?", says my uncle.
"Yea, s--- n----- be taxin", I respond.
"Man I should've brought yo ass back home wit me", he responds, "s--- would've been cheaper and at least iz decriminalized".
Up until this conversation, I didn't totally understand what it meant for something to be decriminalized and for this matter marijuana being decriminalized. Decriminalization, for those of us out there that may be unfamiliar with the term means that a certain crime or criminal offense has reduced penalties. Decriminalization of marijuana started way back in the 70's in the U.S. and has changed, as peoples' views on medicinal and non-medicinal uses, over time since then. Such marijuana offenses, whether it be sale or cultivation, have affected the decriminalizing process of marijuana. Pictured above, one can see the areas in which the poessesion and or distribution of marijuana have affected the decriminalizing process. All these issues with decriminalizing marijuana lead up to society's real question: Should the non-medicinal use of marijuana be officially legal in the United States?
