    Yeah, correct. But you can’t implement that framework on anything until it is legalized. It can be your very next action. But the lawful government cannot, by definition regulate illegal activity, so first you pass one legal motion and then you do the next. That doesn’t mean you can’t have a plan for move 2 before you make move 1.

      Per my understanding it’s all usually part of the same legislative action

        You’re again correct, they use a lovely little modifier we call in English “And”. It lets you do two things as one thing. So you can legalize something, and regulate it, in one legislative action. But you couldn’t regulate something, and then legalize it, because if the government is regulating something they’ve defacto legalized it. If it’s illegal it can’t be regulated because the only regulation allowed for illegal things is “none at all ever”.
