It's called compromise - kind of base of this whole democraticy thing we have going.

Oh what a great 'compromise', "you can take a bite of this cake but if you swallow I will punch you in the face". This has nothing to do with democracy, democracy means you do what the majority of people want, not a half-assed, kinda-doing-it-but-also-kinda-not thing.

Konservatives want all drugs illegal and progressives want a more sensible approach - to keep peace in society democracy is able to find a compromise between those groups. After some time when acceptance rises, the compromise can be negotiated.
