Seattle cops to distribute bags of Doritos at Hempfest, obviously

What's the best way to get people at the world's largest pot rally to read a leaflet on marijuana laws? Slap it on a bag of Doritos. The Seattle Police Department plans on distributing more than 1,000 bags of Doritos at Hempfest this weekend, according to The Stranger, a weekly paper in Seattle. Each bag will have a sticker with a friendly reminder of the limits of legal marijuana. The cops, man. Finding the one thing nobody can refuse. "Distributing salty snacks at a festival celebrating hemp, I think, is deliberately ironic enough that people will accept them in good humor," police spokesman Sergeant Sean Whitcomb said. "We want to make sure people learn the rules and that they respect the vote." The project is being funded by privately run Seattle Police Foundation.
