Police want to remind you that thrift stores can't resell your giant bags of weed

Seattle police want to remind everyone that thrift stores can't resell donated bags of marijuana.



The department put a notice on their website on Friday to helpfully remind the public of the rules after employees at a thrift store in North Seattle found a large bag of marijuana in the donation bin.

In the notice, police say: "Donating to thrift shops is a terrific way to give a second life to your well-loved Velcro sneakers, keyboards or flannel zebra jammies." However, they say tyres, soiled mattresses, laptops and large bags of marijuana cannot be accepted.



A thrift store employee called police on Thursday afternoon to say he found a garbage bag containing 2.5 pounds of marijuana in the store's donation bin. An officer confiscated the marijuana and put it into evidence for destruction.

They should give it to me, instead. I'll make sure it's put to good use.
