Time to do the right thing, legalize sex work and give hard working people in the industry the rights, respect and fair market opportunities they deserve

I know a kid who smokes weed and his dad says "Well, it's legal now". Completely ignorant to the fact of effects it has on a young developing brain.
I know a woman who is on social assistance and has lost thousands of dollars due to a gambling addiction. She even went so far as to self ban herself at the casino, but was still able to slip past security.
I've had to help a friend of mine buy food because cerb was late this month and her kitchen was bare. She spends $500 a month on cigarettes.
My aunt died young of liver disease. She was an alcoholic.
John says yes to a woman offering him a blowjob for $80 so she can feed her children. He is arrested and treated like a piece of trash for having basic human biological needs encoded into the DNA of every living organism on the planet earth.
The police department puts 7 heavily armed vice cops in a hotel room waiting for some old guy with a boner to knock on the door. Meanwhile, Jane dies of a drug overdose because of a fentanyl patch she bought from her drug dealer of 10 years.
The only reason laws are like this is because those involved in the sex industry can't speak out for fear of being labeled abnormal. Ironic since those involved in it include politicians, teachers, lawyers, doctors and police officers. As one cop put it, "cops need lovin' too".
Current laws are wrong, do harm, and punish good people.
