Pot holes and idiocy on pot laws

My car is in the shop today because I was driving on a random street and my front tire was sucked into one of the regions massive pot holes, caused in no part by Climate Change. The problem with my local streets has little to do with the weather and everything to do with the state/county/city not having the funds to keep roads in decent shape.

So I was wondering, where could my stupid state find money to pay for road repairs? Look no further than Colorado you moronic imbeciles who are elected to find ways to fund necessary projects, like roads. This from the Denver Post:
"DENVER—Colorado's legal marijuana market is far exceeding tax expectations, according to a budget proposal released Wednesday by Gov. John Hickenlooper that gives the first official estimate of how much the state expects to make from pot taxes.
The proposal outlines plans to spend some $99 million next fiscal year on substance abuse prevention, youth marijuana use prevention and other priorities. The money would come from a statewide 12.9 percent sales tax on recreational pot. Colorado's total pot sales next fiscal year were estimated to be about $610 million."
