Arguably, Oregon did two things here.

1) they decriminalized
2) they stopped enforcing a bunch of other laws regardless vagrancy, public decency, and the like.

You don't necessarily have to do #2 after allowing #1. There's no reason for that to be a package deal.

Consider smoking.

It's allowed legally
It's not allowed everywhere you go. The drug users had more leeway than smokers
