while I don't advocate for their use,I think drugs, prostitution etc.,should all be decriminalized and also think the government has no business taxing or regulating morality as it is run by the most amoral degenerates one will ever see.
Well said. Prostitution and weed should absolutely be decriminalized. Hard drugs are more questionable, but clearly the war on drugs is a colossal failure.
I think people turn to drugs like meth for lack of availability to less heinous stuff.
Addiction is addiction. Access to cocaine, crack, etc is going to lead to some bad outcomes, just the nature of life. Like alcohol leads to bad outcomes sometimes.
I would just like to smoke my pipe without fear of getting busted, but I won't tell other adults what they have to do.
We've seen socially progressive strides towards equality in a number of areas. I personally think that prostitution and drug use (not just weed) should be legal. You can make a series of moral arguments to the contrary, but ultimately drug use is by and large less harmful than alcohol dependency and prostituion is nothing more than porn without cameras. If both were regulated...should they be legalized?
Prostitution already is, look at Capital Hill, and I'm thinking there's some weed blowers there too.

Addiction isnt addiction, someone addicted to caffeine isnt likely to transition to meth. But if someone wants to get high bad enough and they cant get pills, booze, powder etc. they will cook something up in the trailer out in the woods, where if that other stuff was around they would turn to it first.
Moonshine cooked in a backwoods stills lost most its allure when prohibition was lifted and booze became commonly availiable for purchase at the corner store.
I tend to have more libertarian views on such matters so yes both prostitution and drugs should be legalized albeit taxed and regulated. Prostitution should be a matter of freedom among consenting adults. Drugs should be a matter of the freedom of an adult to put whatever they want into their own body. I think it is hypocritical to allow alcohol but to ban drugs.
However opposition to legalizing prostitution are one of the few issues where feminists are strange bedfellows with social conservatives and the religious right.

Taxed and regualted by a different set of criminals is all you are advocating for.

In the very first place, the two need to be on two different questions. Of the two, prostitution should be made legal. That would promote health inspections and safety. There are a few more countries in this world where it is legal than where it is not. On the other hand, drugs are a different problem.
