I’ve never understood these half legalization laws. “Legal” consumption, illegal production. The same thing with prostitution laws were it’s legal to sell sex, but illegal to buy it.
Whatever.
It's called compromise - kind of base of this whole democraticy thing we have going.
Oh what a great 'compromise', "you can take a bite of this cake but if you swallow I will punch you in the face". This has nothing to do with democracy, democracy means you do what the majority of people want, not a half-assed, kinda-doing-it-but-also-kinda-not thing.
Konservatives want all drugs illegal and progressives want a more sensible approach - to keep peace in society democracy is able to find a compromise between those groups. After some time when acceptance rises, the compromise can be negotiated.
