NO DECRIMINALIZATION
Evidence shows marijuana is addictive and can lead to other illegal drug
use. It is more harmful than tobacco and has cancer-causing capacity. It
retards normal growth of brain cells and harms reproductive eggs in women.
It damages the immune system, impairs judgment, and causes risk of accident
e.g. death on the road. It also often causes social, psychological,
academic and family problems. Decriminalization of marijuana will
inevitably lead to more access and use.

(Decriminalization doesn't mean the government is encouraging use.)
