You’re like the advocate of slavery. You wouldn’t ever want to be a slave or a prostitute, but you don’t mind if others are forced into it. Basically, I’m pointing out the obvious, which that you’re a fraud and a silly pot head.
Who said anything about being forced into prostitution? That's possible only because prostitution is illegal - otherwise there would be the same unfettered recourse to legal protection as someone who was being forced into being, say, a baker (which you'll notice never happens).
Yeah, sure. All the prostitutes in Nevada are doing it as a normal career path. They could be bakers or bankers but they prefer fellatio to finance and fritters. Are you always so inane?
And having been forced into legal prostitution, they don't report it to the authorities because ...
Are you always so inane?
You think, to use the term loosely, most prostitutes are prostitutes because that’s a preferred career choice, apparently. I know it has more to do with poverty, drugs, abuse, and coercion. Look at nations that were once very poor, like South Korea. Korean women were both forced into it and chose it out of economic need. When Korea’s wealth improved, Korean women stopped doing it. Women from other poor countries are imported to Korea to be prostitutes. I guess you see this as maximizing their freedom, like how you want all drugs to be legal. In fact, it exploits their poverty for sexual gratification. It may be the oldest profession, but the Happy Hooker is a rare breed. That’s logically correct.
I know it has more to do with poverty, drugs,
Drugs are one way to lose any other marketable skills, and poverty is a result of not having any other marketable skills. You're not disagreeing with me here.
abuse, and coercion.
We were talking about legal prostitution in Nevada, where there's still no reason to believe coercion is possible: "And having been forced into legal prostitution, they don't report it to the authorities because ..."
I suppose you also believe that gambling and prostitution in Nevada are successfully regulated in ways to keep organized crime out of it. And the poor wretches who provide sexual gratification in this regulated environment are not exploited, I suppose? Hey, no skill, here is a skill you still have. Spread your legs or open your mouth. I know. You’re personally opposed but want people free to chose sex in a market place with strangers.

Irrelevant to anything that's been said on this thread ... but, "Researchers state that organized crime is more of a product of illegal or poorly regulated gambling than well-regulated gambling. [...] Organized crime has been successful infiltrating ancillary businesses such as machine maintenance or those that provide other services." - https://www.library.ca.gov/CRB/97/03/Chapt11.html

Depends what you mean by "exploited" (a favorite term of liberals). There's STILL no reason to believe coercion is possible: "And having been forced into legal prostitution, they don't report it to the authorities because ..."
Do you use prostitutes?

And you’d be willing to work in a whorehouse and provide sex for pay and have men crawling all over you, right?
You think coercion only occurs at the point of a gun?
But you seem so much like a person who would work at a whorehouse, maybe doing it by hand, so you could stay stoned while puffing the with the other hand. I mean you’re really, really are into dope and prostitution. But maybe I’m wrong. I’m sure if it were your mom, daughter, or sister opening her legs or mouth for money, you’d stick with your crackpot libertarian utopianism while you puff a bong.

When a Drug Warrior's arguments fail as they always do, you can count on him to dive into the gutter of personal attacks - just goes to show how factually and morally bankrupt his position is.

That's gun-grabber logic: my mom/daughter/sister got shot so let's ban guns.

Utopianism is thinking the law can eliminate consensual vices.
The law cannot stop all vice. And your promoting vice makes you not a libertarian, but a sophist and a voice of the devil.
Exactly - but it can and has enriched criminals by confining the vice trade to their hands.
And your promoting vice
That never happened ... unless you want to claim that everyone who supports the legality of alcohol and tobacco is thereby "promoting" them.
