Prostitution is one of these alleged victimless crimes. What makes (or made) America great, is the family or basic unit, which was the thing that curtailed more social problems than it created.
Now transpose that into someones house. The number of raids would increase, and hearsay would become a functioning factor in obtaining a search warrent. We would need to increase survalence (sp) and the likes.
But let's be honest, if personal respocibility was on the top of everyones list, we wouldn't even be discussing this at all.
Should we allow this, drug use will skyrocket in this instant gratification country
Sure, nicotine is addictive, but it has not been known to affect ones perceptions etc.

I guess to me the bottom line is its your life to do with as you please as long as you are not DIRECTLY harming someone else its just not anyone elses business.
I fear the loss of freedom more than I do the loss of a few junkies.
Ok, look at the drunk driving situation in this country. Alcohol is the only legal substance that impairs your perception (for the basis of this arguement).
Now why are we going to allow other dangerous, addictive, reality altering substances on the open market.
There is no way that hard core drugs is only a victimless crime.
