I see these terms used all the time within politics but I don’t get it. Surely if it’s de criminalized it’s legal?

When the federal government finally decriminalizes the ownership, distribution and sale of marijuana then it will be fully legal. Decriminalization means certain local governments (state and county) have chosen not to arrest and prosecute. Because of this distinction, marijuana dispensaries are cash only as using a credit card would leave an electronic trail of purchasing and distribution that is still a felony in the eyes of the US government. https://www.mcglinchey.com/insights/federal-legalization-of-marijuana-may-be-closer-than-you-think/
