The law also doesn't say fornication with a prostitute or getting head from a prostitute is illegal. It uses language like "obtaining the sexual services of a prostitute". I'm not sure what you're getting at. Criminal laws related to possession and consumption of < 2.5 grams of hard drugs were essentially paused in British Columbia. In essence, consumption was permitted.
If there is no law on "obtaining the sexual services of a prostitute", you are decriminalizing the act, even without a "positive" law saying "you can go and purchase sex".
The criminal code is not a religious text. It will not be giving you guidance on positive actions. It talks about prohibited conduct. I'm not sure what you mean when you say law does not say "consumption is permitted". Laws are by their nature restrictive.
