Almost I guess. Since we have no land routes everything comes by plane so that jacks up the prices. Coke and H are around ~600AUD gram but thats for lab tested uncut stuff. average grade is about $300 gram. Weed is $10 to 20 a gram. But also keep in mind the min wage is $17
But brothels are taxed... its like any other business. Happens all over the world.

I thought 40 was pretty ridiculous considering how fast a couple of people can blow through a gram..

Each 30 seconds of being high on Australian coke costs you 20 dollars.

That's just fucking absurd. I know supply and demand is what dictates price, but really people? Hundreds of dollars per gram? Coke is so not worth that.

Corrected for literacy.
Firstly, there's not one level of government. There are multiple levels. Federal, State and local ordinances/codes/etc.
Prostitution is illegal on the Federal level, but the States, under our Constitution, have the ability to override the Federal and many states do. Marijuana, as an example, is a Schedule 1 drug. One of the most illegal types of drugs. The States don't care and will make laws as they see fit. That's why many states are starting the legalize it. The Federal government can't defeat the States when multiple states stand against it. The way we do politics is intended to balance the power the Federal government can wield. The Federal government's primary responsibility is to make sure the Constitution is being followed. Outside of that, they can't do much about what states choose to do.
That said, there are a couple states where controlled prostitution is legal. Nevada being a primary example. These girls are protected under the law as long as they practice their "activities" within the proper boundaries and using the proper etiquette.

He can't see my post, but someone ask Maka about how legal prostitution would mean that no woman would have sex with a guy without him paying for it. Because "why would they sleep with their husband when they can get paid for it by someone else".

"Hookers are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may get AIDS. Hookers are illegal because they dissolve horniness and culturally laid down models of behaviour and rape. They open you up to the possibility that everything you jack off to is pathetic."

(Stepping over your weird initial remark) No, the stigma doesn't necessarily go away. In The Netherlands, prostitution has been legal for quite a while. However, it turns out that a great many (some argue even the vast majority) don't do this voluntarily, but are victims of human trafficking and are lured into this field and then forced to stick with it. It seems like a pretty ugly industry to me, and even if it's legal, it proves to be difficult to control the illegal and immoral practices associated with it.

Because the government doesn't want you to get your dick sucked by two chicks at a time. That luxury is strictly for politican and crooked Wall Street people.

but you realize their are homo hookers too right?
its prolly just so they can arrest people for shit to create jobs and steal wealth, and hookers are like garage sales. its really hard to collect tax's. Plus prisons create permanent jobs, whereas hookers have a shelf life. A few might fill a fetish but mostly once you hit a certain age or baggy skin look you've basically lost the appeal.
also prisons help create jobs by limiting the population. Not only did you create a job you took a person out of the general population so they couldn't get one. Truth be told if our prisons and jails didn't exist our society would have most likely already collapsed or the real depression hit already. The top 1% make so much money by replacing people with machines and technology which does nothing but suck wealth from the nation. The only way to take the nation back is to boycott all things not made in the USA, and to only shop at small mom and pop stores, whatever ones still exist that is. Once the 1% are cut out of the profit loop shit will change

Nice post.
Im just confused about something.
I always here people saying that jails feed whole towns and they make so much money and blah blah blah
Then i hear that it costs so much money to keep people in jail..
So which one is it?

its kinda both because its corrupt. They get paid, create jobs, keep a large % of people out of job market, and then use them for slave labor and that money goes god knows where prolly into someones back pocket.
In the end prisons and jails clearly help because we are over populated and/or so corrupted by the 1% that they won't allow us enough jobs, either way it basically boils down to over population.
So further what it boils down to is that these people in prison, had they not been in prison, would be on welfare collecting checks (costing taxpayers MORE) and using food stamps eating (MUCH BETTER FOOD THAT COSTS MUCH MUCH MORE)
end of the day prison its pretty simple:
shit food vs good food
shit pay/slave labor vs welfare checks/foodstamps/housing/Obama phones/healthcare
1 large building housing thousands of people out in the boon docks vs thousands of houses in major citys
oh and not only do you have the prison employee's but you have judges, lawyers, ect
I mean god knows how much a fucking license plate would cost if it wasn't made by serial killer labor
but yah id say its pretty clear prisons are good for the economy at least the one we are in right now, after WW3 we can let them out
