Decriminalization refers to the legislative process of removing or reducing criminal penalties associated with certain acts, rendering them non-criminal offenses. While the behavior remains illegal, it is typically addressed through civil fines or other non-criminal sanctions rather than criminal prosecution. This approach aims to alleviate the burden on the criminal justice system and reduce the negative societal impacts of criminal records for minor offenses.

Scheduling of drugs is a government problem, not our problem. They want to schedule something, that's their problem. My feeling of creation is to make new drugs. They're new drugs, so they're unscheduled. They've never been made before. - Alexander Shulgin

"Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models "of behavior and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everythingyou know is wrong." - Terence McKenna
