Seattle cops handing out Doritos at hemp fest

USA Today - Cops [in Seattle] plan to attend this weekend's Hempfest — where they'll distribute 1,000 bags of Doritos on Saturday.

A note affixed to each bag will direct munchers to the SPD's "Marijwhatnow" FAQ, which tries to clear up confusion related to the state's legalization of small amounts of the drug. (It explains, for instance, that the SPD won't return the pot it confiscated from you in pre-legal days.)

The chips will come in 1-ounce bags, equal to the maximum amount of allowable recreational weed.

But with 250,000 people likely to attend the event, the bags will be hard to come by, The Seattle Times notes.

And "Operation Orange Fingers" does have some in the department worried, says an SPD rep, who explains that some officers fear they could inhale secondhand marijuana then test positive for it, thus breaking their promise to uphold federal law.
