Marijuana Vending Machine

Marijuana’s making the news tonight… Thrillist reports that the world’s first marijuana vending machine is in Los Angeles:

AVMs are 24/7 machines housed in standalone rooms, abutting two dispensaries and protected by round-the-clock security guards — like ATMs for people combating psychological withdrawal with a physical one. After cinching up your doctor’s consultation, hit an AVM location to get your prescription approved, fingerprint taken, and a prepaid credit card loaded with your profile: dosage (3.5 or 7 grams, up to 1oz a week) and strain preference (choice of five, including OG Cush and Granddaddy
Purple, the mildly hallucinogenic forebear to Prince). Then day or night, all you do is hit a machine and walk away with enough vacuum-sealed, plastic-encapsulated cheeba to adequately treat your illness …

It seems to me that politicians and judges would take the legalization of marijuana more seriously if there weren’t strains with names like OG Cush and Granddaddy Purple.

I’m all for legalization, medical or otherwise, however…it is a bit difficult to be adamant about a cause when you’re defending someone’s use of “Sticky Icky” or “Super Skunk” to assist them with chronic pain.

the machine may be too difficult for them to operate

I’m all for legalization. I’m in some legal trouble now, as I was suing marijuana to combat my Tourette’s syndrome. But I agree, it would be easier done if strains had more legitimate names — not that I don’t miss Train Wreck.
