Child pornography by nature victimizes children and hence should not be legal. A child cannot consent to such an act as a child is a child; because a child is a child they need legal protection. Anyone that views child pornography willingly promotes the victimization of a child. Drug use and child pornography are very different sociologically speaking.
It really tests my adherence to the First Amendment to allow myself in the company of some of the most vile creatures on earth, but I still believe no information should by its very existence be contraband. We have laws against information theft, against public indecency, against harrassment, against conspiracy, against fraud, and against sexual assult and rape, which by themselves protect a society from people who would procure or use information to harm us.

We do not need laws that procecute horrible people for looking at horrible things. So long as they have not harmed anyone, I think even terribly sick people deserve a right to privacy.
