Legalize

e.g: "Legalize weed, man!" To "legalize" means to write a statute which thereby exports a given object, or substance (expanded in recent years to also include concepts, thoughts or actions) from the tangible, real, physical universe--where it can actually be proven to exist--and imports this object or substance into the imaginary realm of statutory control, enforcement and penalty, which only exists inside a courtroom environment, or the prisons they draw their revenue from. This can be used "to make something illegal", or to make something "legal." This can not, however, be used to make something "free", which many people believe means the same thing as legal. It doesn't. To be "legal" requires statutes which specifically limit and restrain your freedoms to those which are preordained by the statute.
