So the state can get more money by taxing these activities so-called'' vicious''. And lower the taxes imposed on all citizens without distinction. Then if anyone is puritan, may very well,don't fuck with the whores ,don't gamble, don't drink alcohol or coffee.

But what's the point of taking rackets away from crime if we legalize most of them? If we legalize drugs, prostitution and gambling, then what remains apart from murder? Fraud and extortion? I don't think that legalizing things that are immoral and can lead to people's deaths like drugs just to fight financial crimes is worth it.
And cocaine isn't exactly a "soft" drug.

By the way, what's wrong with coffee? I don't drink it, but not because I think it's immoral, I just don't like the taste.
