Marijuana vending machine makes debut in Colorado

In what seems the natural next step to legalized pot, a Colorado company has brought forward a new vending machine that cuts out the middle man for marijuana sales and gives buyers a speedier, after-hours means of purchasing the drug.

It’s called the Zazz machine, and it’s produced by American Green, a company run by Stephen Shearin, United Press International reported. It made its debut at a dispensary in Eagle-Vail, Colo., at the Herbal Elements shop. The dispensary, in turn, set up the machine outside a local barbecue restaurant in Avon, UPI said.

“We’re looking forward to using the Zazz machine to easily track all this inventory … we’re going to eliminate the middle man,” said Herbal Elements owner Greg Honan, UPI reported. “It’ll go straight from the bud-tender right into our machine. There’s no room for theft by patients, employees … there’s no way to lose track of the inventory.”

1. Used to be cigarette machines like this everywhere

The relics of them are in bars and other age restricted places.

Is there an age limit on pot in Colorado? If so, these machines won't last long.

2. Stupid idea.

You'd have to be high to give a third party your driver's licence info along with multiple digital images of your person.

3. The first step toward McMarijuana. Inevitable, but lame IMO. nt
