Decriminalize, replace with regulation (regulation is not the same as criminalization, and prevents drugs from being sold to underage kids, etc while not having criminal penalties that put people in jail); and put regulation back into the hands of the State governments.

That isn't as far as some advocate, but it's the best way to go no matter how little government you think there should be. It's also in line with how it historically was and the constitution.
