Only in L.A.: Marijuana Vending Machine - The Drunken stepFORUM - A place to discuss your worthless opinions

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.

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.

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.
