PitBull I think your annaylis is wrong. The fact that Marijuana and prostitution are illegal in the United States causes the prices to go way up for engaging in these two "indecencies" and puts it in the hands of the criminals.
A man who solicits prositution in the United States and gets caught will lose his career and spend time in jail. If there was wide access to prostitution a man could selectivly pick a good time to keep it "hush hush." He wouldn't have to go all the way to Vegas which will hit his pockets hard and also make it more likely to be found out by your spouse etc. Because of this, crimes are committed to cover it up.
In fact the fact that minor indecencies like these are illegal is a big reason for the high crime rate in the United States. It's a known fact that at least 80 million Americans have tried Marijuana. So why criminalize a behavior that is so common. Many politicians have even admitted using it after Clinton's famous political blunder "I smoked but did not inhale." As far as prostitution; regulating it by making sure condoms are used and that the hookers are tested would make it safer for the prositute and also for the buyer.
Legalize them regulate them and tax them. It is different than legalizing things like Heroin or LSD. With the hardcore drugs, give better access for treatment for addictions and go hard after the dealers. With Marijuana legal and tax money coming in, the U.S would have more resources to go after the dealers of the truely dangerous drugs like Crystal Meth, Heroin, PCP etc. that are more likely to cause violence.
I also presume that many men in the United States who have no sex life become sexually frusterated. I presume a small number of these men are the ones that commit sex crimes and would be less likely to do so if prostitution were legal and they had an outlet other than looking at the Paris Hilton Sex Tape for the hundreth time.
I am all for legalizing these two. People over moralize them. Marijuana probably destroys less lives then alcohol. It is not physically addicting the way alcohol can be. It is easier to grow out of a pot-head phase that many partying youths go through then to grow out of being an alcoholic. And getting can't stand up/black out drunk everyday of your life like some alcholics do does less damage than getting stoned every night IMO anyways. Edited by: ToughJ.Riggins
