My short answer is that yes, we should legalize the hell out of it.
I've long been in favor of legalizing both prostitution and marijuana. There are models of each in other countries that work (to varying degrees), and I'm pretty sure they could be adapted to the good ol' US of America.
I bet there'd be a lot of vehement, noisy, ugly opposition. I also bet you could tax the shit out of both and still not quell the demand much. I bet that gigantic spike in tax revenue would shut some people right the fuck up, too.
The adjustment phase would be painful, to put it mildly. However, I think both could be made to work here.
I'll cease discussing the sticky-icky now though, since this thread is about hobangin' and hookers.
