isnt NY a decriminalized state?

A first marijuana offender (under a certain amount), by law, must get what's called an Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal (ACOD). This means that so long as they stay out of trouble for 1 year, the marijuana charge against them is dismissed.

Edit: Also, possession of a small amount of marijuana in NY is a "violation" and not a crime. So that may be what the NORML website means when it states that NY is a "decriminalized" state.
