So Trump had basically two things going for him in this regard, 1) momentary halt of new federal regulations and 2) a policy for general deregulation.

No offense, but looking at your stated criteria and the examples, there seems to be some disconnect. If I think about "legalizing things between consenting adults" the first things that spring to mind are human rights, specifically for sexual minorities. When I think about the economic side of this, the first things would be consumer protections. Maybe I just see things differently, but I wouldn't think my perception here is unique or unorthodox.
You're not crazy. I thought the same thing. Then when wuf countered that increasing rights for sexual minorities was somehow decreasing the freedom of consenting adults, I just tapped out.
