If you want to take out the criminal element, legalizing and regulating production and personal growing is the best way to do it. No profits for criminals that way. Otherwise, by keeping production illegal you incentivise the crime.
The best way to look at it is what are the goals? Then you tailor the solution to that. If removing gangs from the equation is the goal, you have to do more than simple decriminalization.
