Colorado Is Auctioning Off Marijuana-Themed License Plates For Charity

Colorado is auctioning the rights to 14 different pot-themed official state license plates. The plates included phrases such as "BONG," "GOTWAX," "GANJA," "HEMP," and "ISIT420."

Governor Jared Polis' office informed CNN the revenue from these unique license plates will go directly to the Colorado Disability Funding Committee.

This is the committee's first pot-themed license plate auction and it will run, of course, until April 20, the unofficial holiday for marijuana use.

The committee is anticipating high revenues for this year's auction.

Previous auctions which have included license plates with the letter "X" sold for $20,000. Plates that read "5280" and "MCLAREN" sold for $6,800 and $6,000 respectively, according to Polis' office.

One pot-themed license plate that reads "TEGRIDY" has already received over 90 bids as of April 5, reports CNN. The name is a nod to the cannabis farm featured in the cartoon South Park, which is based in Colorado.

Bidding will be open until 4:20 P.M. Mountain time on April 20, 2021.

So far, the license plate that reads "BONG" has received the most attention with 22 bids and is currently going for $2,000.

However, if you don't manage to get one of the pot-themed license plates, the state plans on holding another auction next April 20.
