A program called “Operation Orange Fingers” will see Seattle cops will welcoming attendees at this weekend’s Hempfest with miniature bags of Doritos with links to the department’s Marijwhatnow? guide to staying on the right side of the state’s law that decriminalized simple possession of sub-one-ounce quantities of marijuana.
Police department spokesman Sgt. Sean Whitcomb confirmed the unusual duty, saying he and other officers will distribute one-ounce bags of nacho-cheese chips with educational information affixed to them about the state’s new legal pot law.
The bags also will contain a label with a link to the department’s “Marijwhatnow” FAQ, which explains that, yes, adults are now allowed to possess up to an ounce of weed, and that, no, you can’t get back the pot that cops might have seized before voters legalized recreational weed in last November’s election.
