Well yes... Like before if you got caught with a quarter and were over 18, bang... you now have a criminal record which could hamper your ability to get a good job or get into the school you want...
With decriminalization what happens is you basically get asessed fines that you pay like a speeding ticket but it doesn't go on your record... Hence the de[criminal]ization... You are nolonger seen as a criminal in the eyes of the law...
