Only in L.A.: Marijuana Vending Machine
 

For marijuana users, vending machines were once only something you thought of to satisfy the munchies. Not anymore.

Los Angeles has introduced a 24-hour medical marijuana vending machine for "Convenient access, lower prices, safety, anonymity" says owner Vincent Mehdizadeh.

Law officials aren't so sure this is allowable: DEA Special Agent Jose Martinez tells the Associated Press: "Once we find out where it's at, we'll look into it and see if they're violating laws."

Of course, the nickel bags, will cost more than a nickel. But don't worry about bringing exact change. This machine takes credit cards.

DUMB DUMB DUMB... only in California

Why is it dumb?

Hm..outside of the fact that Pot is illegal and having a machine that sells an illegal product may not be the smartest business adventure ever, I don't know why it would be dumb.

Medical Marijuana is legal in California.

So, once again, I ask, why is it dumb?

I really doubt that there is going to be a weed vending machine next to a Coke machine, although that would be pretty funny.

I fucking wish we had that in Texas.

Lol
 

COKE vending machine?!?! WooHoo!!!... Oh wait nevermind, I didn't want a soda.

If medical marijuana is legal then wouldn't they get their stash from a physician then? How could there be any regulation on who buys the pot from the machine... Medical Marijuana may be legal but the common people buying it isn't legal.

Did you even read the article? It explains the whole process about how only patients w/ special IDs can access them.
