Win the rights to cannabis-themed signs

Coloradans have until 4:20 p.m. Saturday to bid for the rights to cannabis-themed license plates during a state auction.

The annual auction features 10 phrases, including 420, COHEMP, HASHISH, HILIFE, REEFER, among others. Proceeds from the auction will go toward grants and state programs supporting people with disabilities.

Since the auction started in 2021, the state has raised more than $96,000, according to a news release from the governor’s office.

Bidders can acquire the right to own the use of the marijuana phrases on their state license plates, or they can purchase a novelty plate and retain the right to use that phrase in the future. Winners can also choose to resell the license plate phrase through the state’s Disability Funding Committee.

Last year the DANK license plate sold for $600 and MJ for $520. Residents interested in participating in the auction can do so via coloradoplates.org/collections/current-auction.

“The Colorado Disability Funding Committee has been an incredible support to the many nonprofits and community partners statewide working to improve lives and expand opportunities for Coloradans with disabilities. This auction continues to be a meaningful way to celebrate Colorado’s cannabis industry while making an impact on the lives of others,” Lt. Governor Dianne Primavera said in a written statement.
