You might think for a second that you’ve fallen into some bizarre alternate universe, but the Seattle Police Department is using this weekend’s “Hempfest” to hand out bags of chips that have on them information about the state’s new marijuana rules:

You’ll have to show up and inhale some secondhand pot smoke to get your own bag if you want to read the rest.
Of course, some see a little stereotyping going on here:
@SeattlePD grow up. The stoner-with-munchies is as ridiculous as the donut-munching keystone kop. #funwithstereotypes

No word yet on how the national health cops feel about Seattle police officers handing out bags of chips by the hundreds as a reward for smoking.
