A very simple 'The advocating of sexual activity between a minor and adult is illegal' would cover this and yet leave "High Times" free and clear.
Actually, it's more complex than that. As I understand it, NAMBLA advocates that the laws regarding sex with minors are wrong and should be changed. They, technically, don't advocate any directly illegal activity.

The link I put up about RICO laws being used against anti-abortion groups is probably the biggest example I can show of a well-meaning law being abused. Ultimately, the supreme court did the right thing and shot down the overextension of the law, so perhaps it isn't a perfect example.
