Only in L.A.: Marijuana Vending Machine

Wednesday January 30, 2008

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.
