Hehehe ...many rules and regulations come along with the legalization (or decriminalization) of marijuana; for instance, there are limits to the amount you can produce, amounts that can be in your possession or person, there are variants that remain banned (depending on active drug content, LD50 (toxicity) etc etc), there are restrictions on where you can smoke it - think places where the intoxication cannot reach someone else, ..there are other tough rules governing sales and distribution (selling mostly remaining criminal - you smoke the pot you produce ..
My point in brief is it is a hassle, many don't bother, and proceed as they did when it was illegal, as opposed to the common perception of streets bathed in a marijuana haze as people smoke all willy-nilly.
Besides, possession of small amounts of marijuana in the US and most of Europe is a minor offense/misdemeanor , not a 10 year jail sentence like in Kenya.
