Decriminalize
To remove a tiny fragment of a statutory problem, while maintaining the majority of the statute(s), and continuing the statute's use as a revenue generator for governments, police, prison guard unions, lawyers, the court system, and "potentially competing industries."
The harassment would still exist. Excuses like when a cop says "I thought I smelled something" would still be "uncontestable evidence usable in court." You'd still have your herb "civilly forfeited." You'll still get "ticketed." You'll still pay fines. "I thought I smelled..." would still entitle "authority figures" to car searches, home raids, body cavity searches, and everything else it currently does. You won't have a "criminal" record...but you'll still have an "offense record." And that "no longer a criminal" record will still be used against you, at every opportunity.

If we were to decriminalize cannabis today, the only thing that would change is that you wouldn't "immediately" be arrested or "immediately" get a "criminal" record. Everything else would remain basically the same.
Decriminalization is little more than a scaled-down version of legalize, used by those who don't understand that they really mean to say "Repeal".
This is because it still doesn't end the problem of cannabis prohibition, but allows it to continue almost completely unchanged while giving the public the mistaken impression that anything of actual substance has been changed.
eg: If you really want to see cannabis prohibition put to an end in your lifetime, we need to REPEAL the statutes that created, expanded, and maintained it over the last century. Then it'll be over.
We've failed to do "what we say we want" for over 50 years.
It's time we just got it done, so we can move on to the next global issue which desperately needs our attention. (Hint: There are at least one or two more of those we can easily tackle next; Banking fraud would be a good "next to fix" item!)

I dont discriminate, I regulate every shade of the ass
More truer words have never been spoken.
Meaning, you find people of all races, cultures, nationalities, backgrounds, etc. attractive. Instead of only being romantically involved with people of your own race/culture, you find people of all races/cultures equally attractive, so you date people of your culture, in addition to people of other cultures.
I don't limit myself romantically with only one group of people or prejudge anyone. I find everyone beautiful no matter where the person comes from, and that's how it should be imo. As long as you have similar interests, the fact that you come from different backgrounds shouldn't matter.

"I love from butter pecan to black berry molass,
I dont discriminate, I regulate every shade of the ass,
Long as you show class and pass my test,
Fat ass and breast, highly intelligent bachelorettes,
Thats the best I won't settle for less,
I wanna ghetto brunette, with unforgettable sex,
I lay your head on my chest, come feel my heartbeat,
We can park the jeep, pump Mobb Deep, and just spark the leaf"
---Lyrics taken from the song "Still not a player" by the rapper Big Pun

To basically handcuff someone so badly that they couldn't score in a Mexican whorehouse if they had a Visa Gold or Black Amex in their mouth.
Man, my buddy degrominated me so much last night at the club by acting like such a clown. Oh, unrelated, DeGrom pitched 2 hit ball again over 7 innings last night. The other guys didn't even sniff home plate.

grebo
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
