Decriminalization refers to a policy of reduced penalties for cannabis offenses,typically involving a civil penalty for possessing small amounts,instead of criminal prosecution or the threat of arrest. In jurisdictions without penalty the policy is referred to as legalization,although the term decriminalization is sometimes used for this purpose as well.
The Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults Act of 2008 was a bill in the United States House of Representatives introduced by Barney Frank (D-MA) in the 110th congress on April 17,2008 as H.R. 5843. The bill had a total of 8 cosponsors. Its passage would have eliminated federal criminal penalties for possession of up to 100 grams (3.5 oz) and nonprofit transfer of up to an ounce of cannabis under the Controlled Substances Act. It does not change the regulation on the manufacturing or the sale of cannabis. It is the first bill of its kind to be introduced at the federal level in the U.S. since 1984.

In 1996,California became the first state to legalize medical cannabis,sparking a trend that spread to a majority of states by 2016.
