America is the country notorious for thier obsession with convenience. They have drive-thru fast food, drive-thru atm machines, drive-thru liquor stores, vending machines that distribute sodas, coffee, snacks, and even Cup-of-Noodles! Just when you thought youve seen it all, Los Angeles brings something new to the table MARIJUANA VENDING MACHINES! No, this is not a joke!
The Associated Press has reported that some medical marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles have made marijuana vending machines accessible to their clients.
The computerized machine requires fingerprint identification and a prepaid card with a magnetic stripe. Once the card and fingerprint are verified, a bright green envelope with the pot drops down a slot. Vincent Mehdizadeh [owner and inventor of the machine] says any user approved for medical marijuana and registered in a computer database at his dispensaries can pre-purchase the drug and then use the machine to pick up. The process provides convenience and privacy for users who may otherwise feel uncomfortable about buying marijuana, Mehdizadeh said.
The vending machine is said to make marijuana less expensive, as you dont have to pay someone to sit behind a counter. Mehdizadeh said he sought the advice of doctors, and decided to limit the amount of marijuana per user to an ounce per week. Each purchase from the machine yields 1/8th or 2/8th of an ounce. The 1/8th ounce packet would cost about $40 - $20 lower than the average price at other dispensaries.
We have yet to see if these vending machines will last. I know the DEA is having a fit!
Ill close this by reminding you of California Governor, Arnold Schwarzeneggers infamous quote from last year, Marijuana is not a drug, its a leaf.
AMEN!
ME NAH LIE L.A. A TRY TURN AMSTERDAM NOW!!... dem want soem a ja now
