And then adults being drugged and forced into prostitution?
And then adults feeding a drug addiction?
At which point of this ladder do you start to say "no, this is where we need to make it illegal"?
That's already illegal. You've just made discovering it harder.

Also already illegal. You've made discovering it harder.
> And then adults feeding a drug addiction?
That's actually none of your business.

There's no need since you don't actually solve coerced prostitution by making it illegal.
Maybe we should just make one singular law that says "be nice".
Hey, I bet you could make a religion out of that!

Saying there is already a law that covers something is disconnected from reality, or at least disconnected form language and the way that humans communicate.
For instance: "drugging people is illegal". You haven't defined "drugging" or "people" in that case. Is it drugging a person when a school nurse gives a child a acetaminophen? You're definitely changing both their physical and psychological state, and are in some way establishing a relationship of dependence.
This is why we have more than one law, and why we don't base our laws on religion.
A lot of adults work jobs for a wage to feed their drug habit. Should we make that illegal too?
Kidnapping is already a serious crime.

Say it with me, kidnapping is already a crime.
>And then adults feeding a drug addiction?
A legal and regulated sex industry will no longer provide the 'safe haven' for addicts that the illegal one does today. Note - I'm not claiming it will eliminate it.

We need not start. By your logic, we should outlaw cars for all the deaths they cause.
