Now with prostitution being legal be strict regulation and Government inspections. Looking at brothels having to have armed guards. Workers have to have a Govermment issue ID and tested monthly. Institutions find violating these regulations are shut down for 6 months and a year for a 2nd violation. Third violation permanently shut down. Anyone exploting those under 18 or younger are shut down permanently and face legal charges.
Illegal prostitution is decriminalized with 3 slaps on the wrist and 3rd slap year in jail. Followed by a 6 month job placement program.
With hard drugs sellers receive 3 slaps on the wrist for anything under 15g or less. 2 months in jail for each gram for any hard drugs over 15g in person possession. Automatic 5 years in jail for those selling hard drugs to minors. 10 years in jail if U.S. citizen trafficking drugs from another State.
Minors in possession of selling hard drugs automatically first offense have to attend a month rehab program. After that attend weekly outpatient rehab program with a Guardian. Have weekly urine test. If hard drugs are found increase weekly meetings to 2. Third time 3 month inpatient rehab and then repeat till 18 years of age.
Users can avoid fines if use at a Government sanction safe zone.
After 3 slaps user or seller are sentenced to an inpatient drug rehab program for 6 months and jail for 6 months. After that 3 months of outpatient rehab. During those 3 month rehabs must have a clean urine and not be in possession of hard drugs. Also if no employment after release from jail must sign up for a goverment job placement program.
Legalizing marijuana nationally and regulate like alcohol.
Universal mental health and substance abuse health care.
A Federal Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse.
I look at it more as:
1.) Reduce violence against woman
2.) Reduce spread of sexual diseases
3.) Possibly reduce overdose deaths
4.) Improve mental health in the U.S.
I don't mind decriminalization of behaviors as long as it doesn't disrupt the health of other people's lives.... I don't know how to feel about decriminalization of hard drugs, if the drug users throw their needles where anyone can step on and spread diseases... I don't trust drug users to be the most responsible people... In addition, drug users tend to have employment issues and I am not about to tax other people for their inadequacy... With prostitution, why even get married? I think the female gender will undergo a massive transformation in their role in society when most males are disinterested in any social entanglement with them... It would probably be detrimental in some aspect but unsure of long term consequences...
Decriminalize EVERYTHING if doing or not doing it doesn't encroach upon the rights or property of another. Legalizing things simply allows the government to step in and tax the heck out of the action or inaction.
