I DO believe that a woman has the choice to do whatever she wants with her own body. I may not agree with her choice of action, but if I disapprove and have the ability to impact what and how she does her body, then that creates a slippery slope to where she would be able to determine what I do with mine. I do know that there is clearly a market for this sort of service, and there always has been. The same thing with Mary Jane. If these people aren't harming anyone but themselves then I will not pose as the moral authority.

I agree, as long as they do it like in Nevada, legal and the girls use condoms. and go to the doc once a week. I'll be surprised if it ever happens. Marijuana probably will be legal.
-
I completely agree. Nevada has a great system for prostitution and Colorado has made a killing in tax dollars on legalized marijauna.

marijuana is legal to those that have a permanent dessese (ex-specially those that are in there old age such as advanced arthritis) but its not legal to the general public. As for prostitution its still very much illegal but in some countries beyond the USA both are legal. My thoughts are both are no good and should be gotten rid of but i was raised in that sort of time when that was the way of thinking. As knowledge grows i still see prostitution will still be somewhat illegal because of the dangers that come with it (as for the somewhat i can see it being legal as cybersex as it would became cyberprostitution). Now for marijuana it might became totally legal for public use (of course in certain areas because of its smell and it really stinks) but this is all just in thought tho it could happen or not happen at all. :cat:

I believe prostitution should be legalized. It has been around since the beginning of time and will always be here. Let's get the girls off the streets and get rid of the pimps. Have them checked weekly by a doctor and condoms must be used. This would save countless girls lives by either being beat up by her pimp or never getting out of that car alive. Also, look at the money it would generate the state. As far as marijuana goes, I think it's just a matter of time before that is legal.
-
I believe BOTH of those decisions should be made by each Sovereign State. The government needs to stay out of everybody's business.

if it was that simple you froget that condoms can break and in a private room can be as dangerous as a car + even if they put cams in a room it can lead to complications of privacy (its very dangerous ether way you slice it) but with technology its far far less of a risk. Also the ridicule that gose along with the job (watch the movie called The Gamer & look @ the main char. wife its not a pretty picture)

I agree. In fact I do believe that prostitution is legal according to the federal government, but it just is illegal in most states. This is why Nevada can have legal prostitution "shops".
As for marijuana, we still have rules / laws that the DEA enforces even though there are 2 states that have made it completely legal, even for non-medical, recreational use. Right now, the DEA's power is mostly in the trafficking of marijuana esp. across state lines. But I think that as more states legalize its use (even for medicinal purposes) the federal government should rethink their stance on certain laws and allow it to be transported anywhere within the country (and allow individual states or local agencies to set their own laws).
I think both really should be legislated at a more local level, as other "moral" laws have been done: gambling, *bleep* / strip clubs, alcohol, etc. And if there is some connection to the federal government (eg taxable income, benefits for married couples working in the public sector, etc.) then it should base its decision based on the local laws; so if it is legal where the person currently resides, then it should be deemed legal in the federal government's eyes too.
-
I don't think neither should be legal. Just think of all the little girls that will turn into prositution and their lives will never be the same.
-
Prohibition does NOT WORK in human society. It just makes criminals of people. Marijuana should never have been prohibited and there is far more research now proving its medical benefits. As for the oldest profession, whether it is legal or not really has very little to do with little girls becoming prostitutes.
-
It's already legalized in some states and countries since some people are going to do and use it, they might as well pay taxes on it.
-
Prostitution would be a problem to be if the girls are there customers got checked weekly cause they both took care of themselves

Good points on both sides
-
I will have to agree with this as well. Prostitution has been around longer than drugs. And pot is not big deal. So, yes, they should be legal.
-
I don't know if I agree or disagree this this statement. I work for a court and see a lot woman selling themselves and even men too! You have gay people and transvestites that sell themselves as well. I personally think it's degrading, but who am I to say what you can or cannot do with your body except for the law! As for marijuana, medicinal use would be the only exception. I don't think just anyone should get their hands on it because of how it totally makes one incoherent. What's the difference between driving while intoxicated with liquor in your system than driving with marijuana in your system? Drinking is legal and if marijuana becomes legal, more people will think it's ok to drive while doing it. Just my opinion...
-
I do believe that both will go on weather they are legal or not so it might be safer to legalize them with controls.

agree but disagree by legalising its not about control its a safety concern
-
I am not a smoker, but marijuana should be legalized.

I agree. It's a man's decision to do what he wants to do with his own body (yes, there are male prostitutes) and it's a woman's decision on what she wants to do with her body. If a man or woman chooses to provide a "bodily service" they should be free to do so with legal repercussions just as a "customer" should be free to make the "purchase" without legal repercussions. Although I do think some sort of regulatory entity should be involved to help ensure the safety of 'buyers' and 'sellers.' If they can do that in the *bleep* industry, it can be done the same for prostitution because really the two are very similar. I also agree with the legalization of the marijuana (and hemp) industry. There is no acceptable, justifiable, solid, unbiased reason for the vilification and illegality of cannabis. None. Period. No exceptions.
-
Although prostitution is immoral it should be legalized because you cant stop it. Marijuana is a herb so figure it out.
-
..."if marijuana is dangerous, the law must reflect this fact. The subcommittee’s report wisely suggests that both use and sale should remain criminal offenses, although punishable by reduced penalties, especially in the case of first-time offenders and experimenters."

I agree! People should be able to make decisions about what they want to do with their OWN bodies.

Exactly!
-
At one time I likely would have disagreed with prostitution being legal but I am much less conservative than I was at one time. As far as marijuana I have never had a problem with that and feel it is a natural substance and can be very assistive medically. :peace:
-
Yes I believe prostitution should be legalized because it will make it safer for all men and women. Also it will help because they will have to pay taxes on the money they make. So as long as it has to be around why not care about the people who are involved and make it legal. As far as marijuana as long as it is by prescription for medical reasons it should be legal.
-
I doubt it will happen anytime soon... someone is making money with it not being legalized even if it is our own government
-
I don't think it should be legalized.Good gracious,how depraved has our society become that we have to make such a repugnant thing legal?And the "people are gonna do it anyway" defense is a terrible excuse.
-
I agree, Jedi Johnnie. And if both were made legal, more and more people are going to get involved, including those who don't now because it is illegal in their state. It seems we are not so gradually sliding back into the era of the depravity of societies like ancient Rome and others. Next we will be throwing Christians to the lions. No, wait, I think some people already do that.
-
Marijuana is now legal in Colorado and they have a total mess on their hands but the people selling it are making money hand over fist so it's good for them and their employees. I think marijuana should probably be for medicinal use only. Another problem with it is that is so much stronger than it used to be and it's destroying people's brains.
Prostitution should probably be legalized as it is never going to go away but legalizing it may do away with a lot of the pimps which would be good.
-
Well for selling your body to make it legal....hmmm wonder how that will work out. Too many fetishes around for that to be legal. Having sex for profit is a wide range because people could sell their feet for sex because of a fetish and call it selling a part of their body. Learn from the Hobby Lobby scenario there is more things to that ruling that will rise for the sake of religion. Too many loop holes in law that the law makers or say Justices do not see the future implications of ruling on such things. If you think I am just saying this then take a look at Roe v Wade. They have taken apart that law and fought on things of it that religious people need to mind their own business when it comes to a woman's body. So imagine how Christians would feel about selling your own body. ??? ??? ??? ??? ???hmmm

This quote says it in part about my quote. Too many Christian folks in other's business. I do think that some Christians would sell their bodies or get abortions. If only they knew how many of them are actually doing these things and yet are bigots.
-
I can not go against God laws. The Lord did not create woman to do that the command was to marry or burn in hell for eternally. Sorry that is my belief
-
why not, half way they are legal, in colorado marijuana is legal and in las vegas prostitution is legal, whats a couple of more states
-
i totally diagree :bad:
-
I agree. Both could bring a lot of revenue from tax dollars.
-
Yea, prostitution. We would have more faithful men and women. There would be accidents now and then, but it's ok that's why we have abortions ::) :notworthy:
NOT ! People need to learn how to use their BIG head to make money, the one on top of their shoulders, not the little head !
Marijuana for sick people ONLY !
-
I agree with you......
-
You don't even have to be deeply religious to see what kind of slippery slope we're on as a society where everything and anything goes.I think Loulizlee said it best,we're approaching the level of decadence to rival ancient Rome. Sobriety,Marriage and even Life itself is no longer respected or the least bit sacred. :sad1:

I am a Christian. I can't answer for other Christians, but I am not a bigot.

I respect your right to hold that opinion, but I disagree. I think both of those "victimless vices" cause great harm to the individual and then to society as well. Spend 30 years working in a community mental health clinic and you can see the generations of victims.
-
I can't see people engaging in that kind of behavior having very much self esteem.What kind of skeevy individual pays a stranger to do something like that?I find the very concept repulsive. :silly:
-
The older I get the more I can see how this side of the argument makes sense.The choices people make in their personal lives should really be their own business.
-
I thought they already were ;). But seriously why shouldn't they be. Both are here and not going anywhere.
-
Wow this is some topic..lol and since I will ever do either thing, I am staying out of it :-X
-
That Would Be Fine But There Would Be A Lot Of prostitutes Smoking pot and Forgetting To Pay Their Taxes :D
-
I do not agree with this idea. I do not want children to grow up thinking of this dangerous practice as a possible career choice. No way! :bad:
-
The question is where is the line? With weed, the same could be said for cocaine, heroin, and every other drug known to man. If they aren't harming anyone, whats the harm? And doing what you wish with your body...where's the line? Slavery should be reinstated. If someone wants to sell their self into slavery for the betterment of their family then they should be allowed to. Just saying...wheres the line?
-
If the shoe fits! I mean I don't agree with someone selling their bodies, spreading diseases, and getting pregnant for that matter, However, it is their body. If it helps it helps and I totally agree with legalizing marijuana.
