Vending Machines with... "MEdical Marijuana"

California, (the trail blazing state it is), unveiled its 24 hour medical marijuana machines. Can you believe it..? I never though I'd see the day... check out the story..

A marijuana vending machine?

Authorised medical marijuana users in Los Angeles no longer have to worry about running out of their medicine in the middle of the night!

Los Angeles: Two licensed marijuana dispensaries in the west coast city this week unveiled 24-hour medical marijuana vending machines.

The machines are filled with small sachets filled with glistening buds of different sizes and strains. Though they might seem like a stoner's hallucination, access to the machines is strictly controlled by round the clock security guards.

Users must register with the dispensaries and have their fingerprints checked before every use of the machine. The guards also verify that users have a medical marijuana prescription, are on the dispensary list and have the special pre-loaded debit card needed to operate the machines.

Purchasers will be limited to some 28 gm of marijuana a month, dispensed in packets of seven or 3.5 grams. more here
