If every "bad" thing should be illegal, then tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, prostitution, lobbying, protectionism, should be banned. Then again, we have to argue what is "good" or "bad".

Yes, people in the past (and even some currently) thought that marijuana and prostitution were "bad" so they made them illegal.

We are not living in a libertarian society, though I guess you can believe we should if you want.
