Legalize it?

California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger says we should have a debate about legalizing and taxing marijuana. And Nicholas Kristof's terrifying op-ed about teen prostitution in the U.S. comes to the conclusion that we should "stop treating these teenagers as criminals and [focus] instead on arresting the pimps and the customers — and the corrupt cops." He's not advocating legalized prostitution (and neither am I), but he does seem to be arguing that the current laws against prostitution are not helping vulnerable teens. That's priority #1.
