'Bags of Weed are not Welcome'

SEATTLE -- Despite the recent legalization of recreational marijuana* in Washington, Seattle police want to remind everyone that thrift stores can't resell donated bags of pot.

In the release, 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," but they say tires, soiled mattresses, laptops and bags of weed are not welcome.*

A thrift store employee called police Thursday afternoon to say he found a garbage bag containing 2.5 pounds of pot in the store's donation bin.

Police confiscated the marijuana and put it into evidence for destruction.
