Marijuana Vending Machines Hit L.A.


Regardless of where you stand on the legalization issue, you have to admit - this is on some Jetsons shit. This is one of the two "anytime vending machines" (AVMs) in L.A. and this is how it works...

• Customers bring their prescriptions for approval at the AVMs, housed in an enclosed room guarded 24/7.
• They are fingerprinted and photographed.
• They receive a pre-paid credit card loaded with their individual profiles.
• They choose their dosage (3.5 grams or 7 grams) and one of five strains of marijuana.
• The marijuana is in capsule form and dispensed in vacuum-sealed packages.
• They can buy no more than 1 ounce a week.

Supposedly they will be introducing AVMs for Viagra, Vicodin, Propecia and anti-depressants in the future. Don't believe me? Lookey here.
