Ok so.. on one hand it sounds cool.. but on the other hand maybe a little scary. Here's the lowdown.
Vending machines distributing the drug marijuana are to begin operating in the US state of California.
Vince Mehdizadeh, owner of the Herbal Nutrition Centre in Los Angeles, where one of the two first machines is based, said it would allow patients to buy extra supplies whenever needed. Patients will have to provide a prescription, and be fingerprinted and photographed before being allowed to use the facilities.
Once the users have been photographed, fingerprinted and have shown their prescription, they will be issued with a card which can be used in the machines.
They'll be greeted by a security guard right there. They'll slide the card in and they'll fingerprint in to verify that it's them," he was quoted by KWTX News 10 as saying.
"A camera takes a picture of them, verifying that they're actually at the machine. And they get the medicine and they move on."
I found this on BBC news website. I think it would be alot cooler if we could just have cafe's like Amsterdam. Who gives a damn about vending machines that fingerprint me for the "man".
