      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.
