Somebody get Barack and Gil a dictionary!
Legalization (verb): the process of removing a legal prohibition against something which is currently not legal.
Or how about we get you a thesaurus!
admittance, allowance, authorize, charter, code, control, legitimate, license, permit, redress, regulate, rule, sanction, tax, tolerate
You cannot tell me Barack Obama made the Harvard Law Review without having “legalization” in his vocabulary. Director Kerlikowske, this dismissal of legalization as a worthy topic of discussion doesn’t just insult us, but also mocks the very serious state, national, and world leaders who have recently called for decriminalization and legalization as rational options for responding to your office’s 39-year-failure to have any serious effect on reducing the harm from drug use and the 100-years of manufactured harms from the policy of utter prohibition.

I am the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" for my work producing Oregon NORML's TV show, "A Cannabis Community Forum", and for helping to institute Portland's wildly successful medical marijuana cardholders meetings, where we help sick and disabled Oregonians acquire cannabis plant starts, learn gardening, and understand the medical marijuana law. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to be our daily voice.
