    Well… Why not? How is it different? Deregulation generally refers to smaller loosenings(and smaller legalizations) rather than outright legalization- but that’s a kinda arbitrary distinction

      Legalization:- whether or not it’s legal to do something.

      Deregulation:- removing rules and enforcement around something that’s already legal.

      Like I said, it’s subtle.
