The Netherlands never decriminalized any drugs, not even marijuana. Rather, it adopted an official policy of non-prosecution under certain conditions.

"Non-prosecution under certain conditions" is what decriminalization is generally understood to mean.

Sufficiently advanced non-prosecution is indistinguishable from legality.
