Pot For Potholes & Driving High

Jake, Sima, and Jessie zoom in on Tennessee’s latest round of cannabis chatter, including the headline-grabbing idea of “Pots for Potholes” (using cannabis tax revenue for roads and infrastructure). They unpack what’s actually in the proposed bills, where the money would go, and why TN still feels behind neighboring states that are already rolling out medical programs. Along the way they get into the messiness of regulation: “legal vs illegal” thresholds, licensing barriers, taxes, and the difference between public safety and policy theater. They also hit the real-world implications people argue about most: THC and driving, dose and impairment, why edibles keep showing up in ER headlines, and how government messaging (and agencies like the DEA) can shape public perception more than actual education.
