Addendum: My question is entirely separate from whether Prop 19 is a good thing or not. By legalization, of course, I mean legalization of both the sale and use (including of more than once). Awaiting your clear, non-evasive, and concise answer to the question.

Alright, rather then adopt your terms, I’ll address the actual poliicies.

What does ‘legalization’ mean?

With alcohol, it means the government control, sale and taxation of the good by the government. I don’t support legalization.

There’s no way you can separate the two. Government control goes hand in hand with legalization.

I also don’t support decriminalization. I think the policy of fining users and enforcing the laws is a good thing for the state, and it seems most CA voters agree with me here. Constitutionally, it is within their rights as states to decide how or whether marijuana will be sold at all.
