This is why exactly you want to legalize it. Prostitutes tend to accumulate stds which they pass to their clients, which then pass those to other prostitutes. Upon legalization, they would be asked to take tests and those that failed would not be allowed to work so you basically start with a pool of healthy prostitutes.
On client side, they can also have the clients first present papers before availing service. Even if this is not strictly implemented, the diseased clients would be eventually weeded out. If any of the prostitutes caught something from a client, they can eventually narrow down to the possible culprit because of records and have those clients banned.
The biggest benefit will be the prevention of the human trafficking of minor girls. If the prostitutes are available legally, then the poor and rural girls will no longer be forced in to the flesh trade.
Oh yes, that's one more reason! Women fetch a high price for traffickers exactly because prostitution is illegal. Worse, the women are treated no better than slaves and gain nothing from their work. Legalization would end that.
Of course, this wouldn't stop pedophiles from going after girls but that's a different problem in itself. And just in case anyone would accuse me of wanting to legalize everything, no, pedophilia should be illegal. Children are too young to be asked to consent to sensitive issues like sex.
So guys, on everything you said, do you really think that legalization of drugs would help that people. Would it be better if every one had easy access to drugs and could do what ever they want with it? I know i would not want that. That would make some people life easier, and that people are bad for society. And i do not want to start on children, and how it would effect them...
Legalization of anything isn't what you think. What does legalization do? If Government legalizes one of the moons of Pluto, what does it do? It doesn't do anything. Not to the moon, and not to people.
If Government legalizes the comb in your pocket, the comb could care less. Legalization really controls and limits people. Depending on what Government says in their legalization of your comb, it regulates you and how you use the comb. It takes away your freedom.
When Government legalizes (or illegalizes) drugs, it takes away your freedom to use drugs. The drugs, themselves, could care less about legalization. Legalization doesn't hurt the drugs at all. It only serves to take freedom away from the people.
Get Government out of everything. Don't make anything legal or illegal. Neither legal or illegal stops people from doing what they want. It only gives Government people the duty of messing with people's freedom. And that is what Government really wants, so that they have an excuse to tax people and make money.
So if i understood right, what you just said right now, you want Anarchy to rule over the world. To be every person for him self or something like that. Governments are necessary evil in our life's. And if you take law and society boundary away, people would be end to them self. People need someone to watch over them. In core humans are animals, and if there is nothing to stop people from committing a crime, imagine what would happen... your anarchy.
Of course government is necessary in you life. Your brain governs how your body acts. You govern your children until they grow up. There isn't any anarchy. There is only government in the world.
Of course people need somebody to watch over them. And who would that be? Government is just people. Who watches over them? Government is the most anarchist group of people in the world.
Humans are not animals. The animals closest to humans in IQ and reasoning ability - chimps and dolphins - are so far beneath humans that humans can barely teach them to reason at all, even only a little.
There is nothing stopping people from committing crimes when governments are around. That's why there are crimes listed in the news. And that is why government people are often listed in the news as the criminals.
Medical drugs are way more dangerous than any the people would have found if there were no drug laws. As it is, you can get most medical drugs in Mexico that are forbidden in the US. So, you can take as much or as little as you want. Why don't people generally go get Mexican drugs? Because they are not drug oriented in the first place, except for a few.
The drug laws are designed to make money for Government and the medical in a backwards, underhanded way.
