Pot for Potholes

Did you guys know that pot (well, medical marijuana) is now legal in 21 states in the U.S.? Pretty cool. However, some conservatives are already thinking of ways to take as much fun as possible out of the exciting acceptance of weed sweeping across the nation. 

A Michigan news website quoted Rep. Mike Callton last month: "You can tax the heck out of marijuana,” Callton says, “put it into a separate fund for Michigan roads - because it doesn’t seem like that money is going to come from anywhere else at this point in time - and it’s a cute name, 'pot for potholes.'"

On his show Wednesday night, Stephen Colbert warned that this was a dangerous idea because "you know what they'll be legalizing next to fix every crack."
