Normally when the police show up it means the party's over.
But police officers in Seattle will be adding to the fun this weekend by providing snacks at an marijuana festival.
Seattle Police Department's spokesman, Sergeant Sean Whitcomb, said the department intends to use the opportunity to spread the word about new marijuana laws, by attaching a summarized version to bags of Doritos.
The law came into effect in 2012, and allows anyone to legally possess up to an ounce of recreational marijuana.
But police are worried people still aren't clear enough on the rules.
So, with the help of a former journalist, the Seattle Police Department has composed its own guide to the law , 'Marijwhatnow?'.
“When the laws changed, there was a little bit of an informational vacuum about how police would react,” Whitcomb told nbc news.
'Marijwhatnow' clearly states that Seattle police will not arrest anyone for possessing under an ounce of marijuana, but also outlines the rules that do still exist in the state, and at federal level.
Police will hand out 1,000 bags of Doritos at Hempfest 2013, which is expected to attract around 200,000 people.

Is pot use prohibited in all of these places?
I guess the upside is, now the cops won’t be stealin’ the stash out of the evidence room...
“Smile” - Here’s your bag of Doritos - thanks for the photo ID pot head!
Doritos nor Frito Lay use children in any products.
They can deny it all they want but I have my doubts
I’ve eaten Doritos for decades and never once caught a hint of children.
police will not arrest anyone for possessing under an ounce of marijuana
Sooo, do they think it grows in amounts of less than
an ounce?
Here is a future stock tip: when marijuana is legalized nation-wide, buy a lot of Frito-Lay stock.
As long as none of the smokers are uing the real devil weed - TOBACCO.
Anyone caught smoking the filthy, polluting, noxious tobacco in the public areas will be arrested on the spot.

Who ever dreamed it would be more socially and politically acceptable to smoke illegal dope than legal tobacco?
What's wrong with it? :)
At the next pro-gun rally the cops are going to give out free ammo.
