Or, in other words, yeah, it's be great to just "talk about" legalizing it, but the "back door" is how social change actually happens.

Can you give me an example of a controlled substance becoming generally legal after a few years of being available for medical use? If that's "how social change actually happens," you should be able to. Assuming you can't point to any such thing, then what other example of "social change" do you think is analogous to this?
Social change often happens incrementally, but there is a difference between incrementalism and false pretext. Medical pot has largely been the latter.
