I guess you blame the pusher and not the user because the user is the weaker party. In the sex trade, the pimp and the user are the strong parties and the sex worker is the weak party.

Interesting take, that's rare to see it that way, thanks for changing a bit my perspective. If choosing one party to arrest, I'd go with the client now.

Wow so much misinformation in that statement. I purchase drugs routinely. What a condescending attitude to state that my dealers have more power than I. I’m an adult who is fully capable of making my own decisions. There is zero power imbalance. No different than buying a candy bar.
Similarly why do you presume a pimp must necessarily exist? The prostitutes I patron are simply grown self-employed autonomous workers. There is no coercion involved. They actually enjoy their work. Not everyone has the same hang ups about sex.

Why not punish both?
