Hillary Clinton Cracks Herself Up over Pot Joke

Feng Li/Getty Images(DENVER) — Hillary Clinton got laughs when she took a “pot” shot at Colorado’s marijuana laws during a campaign stop at a coffee shop.
During the former secretary of state’s visit to Denver Monday, a barista at the Pigtrain Coffee shop made Clinton a latte with artwork drawn into the foam, and boy did she get excited.
“Oh my god. Oh my god,” Clinton said, summoning over Sen. Mark Udall, who she was campaigning for in the state. “Look at this. Look at this.”
Atop Clinton’s latte was an image of a smiling pig, named after the local coffee shop the two politicians stopped by, that Clinton said she liked too much to actually drink. But, it was Udall’s latte, topped with one simple leaf, that really sent Clinton cracking.
“Look at you,” she said to him in wonder as the barista handed the second beverage over. And then it clicked.
“Is that a marijuana plant?” she quipped with a wink, the room erupting in laughter.
