Absolutely. But not in order to save the economy. Rather in order to save people from being victims of criminal gangs. If prostitution were legal, better health care, protection from abusive pimps, etc. would all help keep those who do choose to be sex professional safer. Marijuana is bad for you, but no worse than alcohol or tobacco. And legalized marijuana takes control of the trade away from gun wielding, acid vat using, psychotic thugs, and puts the business in the hands of suit wearing, financial institutions abusing wall street thugs; definitely a better class o' thugs.
