Honolulu Star-Advertiser, 09 Apr 2013 – Your story on the "death" of the marijuana decriminalization bill reveals continuing confusion about decriminalization versus legalization ("House abandons bill to decriminalize pot," StarAdvertiser, April 4). The latter has been enacted (via voter initiative) in only two states, Washington and Colorado. It will include state taxation, regulation and control. Decriminalization would replace the criminal penalty for possessing small amounts of marijuana with a citation and fine.
