Cannabis-themed license plates in Colorado are being auctioned off to the highest bidder in a fundraiser for the Colorado Disability Funding Committee.

The state is selling the rights to 14 plates with cannabis-themed phrases, including "BONG," "GANJA," "TEGRIDY" and "HASH," KUSA-TV reported.

A license plate with "ISIT420," a reference to slang for smoking pot, has so far garnered bids of more than $6,500, making it the highest in demand. Bids are being collected until 4:20 p.m. on April 20, a day considered the unofficial " pot holiday."

The Colorado Disability Funding Committee said it would use the money to support new and innovative programs for the state's disability community. No further information on those initiatives was immediately available.

1. Not sure those whould be the plates I'd want in any routine traffic stop...

Yeah, it is legal here, and supporting it does not mean you are DUI or even that you use, but...

Especially when you drive into another state.

3. Would most people even get "TEGRIDY"?

I would because I'm a stoner that watched South Park.

But who is going to advertise that they smoke on their vehicle.
