How is it a victim if someone willingly buys drugs? Isn't selling alcohol to a minor a crime? Drugs would be treated the same way. There are victims in prostitution but there are no victims between consenting parties. The crimes are forced prostitution but when you legalize prostitution, more victims will be willing to come forward because they will not fear going to jail once they are found out to be a prostitute. Drugs and prostitution both should be 100% legal. Your body. You should be able to do whatever you want with it.

If you are in jail for prostitution, you are not in jail for human trafficking. And if you make prostitution legal, those forced in prostitution would be more likely to come forward because there would be no penalty for being a prostitute.

Ok, but most drugs are still illegal and inevitably, it will be sold to kids or kids will be involved. It is disingenuous to say selling drugs is a victimless crime. Plus, buying street drugs, YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. They can put whatever they want and they do put whatever they want into it. More people die from illegal drug use than covid even came close to killing. What you are advocating is the legalization and regulation of drug use. But you will still have a criminal element involved. So, just stop saying "victimless crime" because you are wrong.
