Regulating freely consented exchanges _you_ don't like out of existence will not actually make them disappear, just push them underground, out of society's eye and where the REAL exploitation takes place.

That's why adults actually working in those domains militate for legalization and that's why totalitarian societies require so much surveillance just to avoid collapse.

Because people WILL do the deals they need to do to survive or get ahead. Your laws will just provide the reason to catch and incarcerate them afterwards.

See the marijuana legalization mess.
