Legalize definition

Legalize means “[t]o make lawful; to authorize or justify by legal sanction.” Black’s Law Dictionary 977 (9th ed. 2009); accord Webster’s Third New International Dictionary 1290 (2002) (defining “legalize” to mean “to make legal: give legal validity or sanction to”). Accordingly, in my view, the medical marijuana amendment was intended not merely to create a defense to a charge of marijuana possession or use, but rather to make medical marijuana possession and use legal under the conditions identified in the amendment.
