Tennessee Lawmakers Introduce Cannabis Bill to Fund Infrastructure

Senator Heidi Campbell and Representative Aftyn Behn introduced the Pot for Potholes Act in Tennessee to legalize cannabis. The proposed legislation seeks to allocate resulting tax revenue specifically toward highway repairs and other infrastructure projects.

This legislative push follows the implementation of a state ban on hemp products. By linking legalization to critical infrastructure needs, the lawmakers aim to create a dedicated funding stream for state roads and transport systems.
