Whatever the law makers define as undesirable for society.

Notice parent comment uses "perceived" evil.

Law makers perceive drugs as harmful for the users and society, they perceive drugs as evil. The accuracy of their perceptions are not discussed in parent comment.

Right. In my opinion some of drugs can be called evil but prostitution is something natural and not evil at all
