Well, that's silly seeing how CBD is available OTC basically everywhere (thanks to Mitch McConnell and the law of unintended consequences https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-mitch-mcconnell-acc...)LUV CBDS YOUR ARE WRONG!!! REJECTED | Reason: CBD=CANNABIDIOL, A COMPOUND OF MARIJUANA LIKE THC. - EvanAnderson 1 month agoSeveral years ago I received a letter from the Ohio BMV asking me to explain my vanity tag. I always wondered if somebody complained about it. I bet my explanation ended up in a database not unlike the one this game is based-on.
(My explanation to the BMV was that it was my favorite prime number less than 32,000...)

- jony1266 1 month agoLOL this is so fun -- esp because these are real license plates that got approved + rejected...

APPROVED | Reason: CHULO=PIMP
