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?

I’ll use the example of drugs. When cannabis is de-criminalized, it typically means that people won’t be arrested for possessing or using it, but since it is still illegal, selling it is illegal and you can be arrested for that. Legalization would be the next step down that road and often comes with setting up legal distribution sites (dispensaries) and taxing the sale of the product.
