Browsing: decriminalize

I often get asked about what I mean when I say that our Sensible BC campaign wants to "decriminalize" cannabis in BC. Some people tell me they don't like the idea of decriminalizing, and that we must legalize cannabis instead.

Some people think that "decriminalization" means that people in possession of cannabis will still get a punishment, like a ticket or fine.
