If New Jersey is desperate for tax revenue, "let's legalize prostitution” and don't legalize marijuana, former Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno said in a radio interview, although she later made it clear that she wasn't in favor of prostitution.

Legalizing the world's oldest profession would be better than "losing an entire generation of children with pot," Guadagno said in an interview Tuesday on NJ 101.5 as reported by More Monmouth Musings. Guadagno, who lives in Monmouth Beach, was Monmouth County's sheriff before joining Chris Christie's gubernatorial ticket in 2009.

In a later interview with Musings, Guadagno said she is not advocating legalizing prostitution but wanted to point out problems with the arguments put forth pro-recreational marijuana advocates.

Prostitution "at least it is a victimless crime and it will help women in terms of medical care and regulation," she said in the radio interview, according to the report.
