“In the mid-1990s, McPeak recalled, police at Hempfest conducted undercover buy-and-bust operations, periodically slapping handcuffs on vendors of pot brownies and removing them from the premises. But this year, instead of writing tickets for public pot smoking — which remains forbidden in the state — police were handing out about 1,000 bags of Doritos tortilla chips bearing information on the state’s pot laws. ‘It feels great that instead of issuing citations for public smoking, the police are issuing Dorito bags,’ McPeak said. ‘That seems like a big deal.'”
