Recently the talk of legalising drugs has become a topic of great thought. The newspapers are spoilt for choice at the direction they could take their title, "Drugs, legal! Are you high" would be one that I probably have seen (but if it hasn't been used, then yes, I did create that myself). Another could be the "Marx-esque" view that drug legalisation would solve crime problems and remove the "rebel" element of purchasing illegal items.
To be honest I don't think drugs will ever become legal and the second argument doesn't take into account the influx of people exposed to the substances. Unless there is some ridiculous expansion in a religion that opposes drug use then the likelihood is that drug addict numbers will increase, which I'm pretty sure is not what the theory intended. Anyway this subject gets thrown about every so often and I don't think it would be as financially beneficial to the Government compared to a legalisation of something else, in particular Paedophilia.
Paedophilia was the taboo subject of the past decade, with shows such as "To Catch a Predator" becoming mainstream, paedophilia is now a source of entertainment. As far as I know Paedo's aren't treated as if they have a mental disease and other than some sort of Libido depressor they are not treatable. The rumoured abuse they endure at prisons is infamous and some would say justified, but they could be utilised in a different manner altogether. It could potentially be lucrative for Governments as well.
Hypothetically if this was legalised then our Paedo's would walk the streets at ease no longer fearing the intense scrutiny of others. I'm sure a reality TV show to coincide with their legality could also be produced; something to the effect of "Britain’s got Paedo's", although crude I'm sure it would command a primetime slot on ITV. Careers could be resurrected and advertising opportunities would be vast, Gary Glitter comes to mindas one who would thrive due to the new perception of his particularinclination. A pin up boy could be created, the main idol of the Paedo community, for this I would posthumously select Michael Jack...
The sex trafficking industry is also a possible route, making these public would lead to increased revenue to combat the real crimes. This could also give the endless amounts of orphans in third world countries a practical application, again potentially lucrative as their governments could re-brand the now devoid slave trade. I'm sure the aborting of females in China could also be solved; perhaps an amendment to the one child policy could be made to promote the donation of a child to the sex trafficking industry.
This is of course just a hypothetical but then again so is the legalisation of drugs. If they were to introduce this there is always the highly meritorious and redeeming back up plan:
Paedophila legalised and 'they' are encouraged to become public to their communities, addresses and names registered. Then if it's not working out for the population, government illegalises it back and suddenly the paedo's are in a very tricky situation.
I guess they should save that particular trump card for when we are in a real mess. Maybe when the world is run by drug barons and crack fiends.
