I don't think prostitution should be illegal. Given problems such as trafficking and the abuse of minors created by it's illegality, legalising it would be a net good for society.
But drugs are a different matter. They're addictive and harmful and taxpayers end up footing the medical costs and the costs of policing the crimes addicts commit to pay for them, none of which would decrease were they legalised. It's not at all inappropriate for the government to prohibit/regulate them on our behalf.
