decriminalized cannabis can still be treated with dangerous pesticides or contain high levels of heavy metals or bacteria that cause serious illness. i used to be of the mind that decrim was preferable to legalization but testing is a pretty important part of making sure you're getting the safest products. a lot of people in favor of decrim are either bad actors or are under the mistaken belief that all their flower is coming from some nice hippies who only use organic fertilizer and good vibes. the legacy market was pretty much exactly the same as any other black market: full of people who were in it for the money and didn't care what it took to produce the highest yield at the greatest margin. now we have legacy actors gone "legit" AND opportunists who got into the market post-legalization who still have the same profit motive above all else.
