First marijuana vending machines go live in Seattle

Every stoner’s dream is coming true… well, as long as they have a license to use medical marijuana, that is. USA Today reports that a company called ZaZZZ has brought its pot vending machines to Seattle Caregivers, which is a medical marijuana dispensary.

Because the machines will be housed within the dispensary, interested buyers will be required to show their medical marijuana ID before entering, which means random people off the street can’t just walk in and buy a joint.

The vending machines will be climate controlled and will offer a “wide range of medicinal and recreational marijuana flowers, pot-infused edibles and merchandise,” so it sounds like you’ll be able to buy pot brownies or cookies if you don’t feel like smoking it.

It’s been interesting to watch the marijuana economy in Washington grow and evolve over the past couple of years since the drug was legalized in the state. Recent reports have indicated that growers in the state now actually face a huge glut of marijuana that they’re having a hard time selling, which is something we didn’t think we’d ever see.

One of my favourite anti-cannabis propaganda films is this one from the UK:

This one really makes me laugh, it's utterly ridiculous in that it
implies that if you 'lose it' on cannabis you're permanently brain damaged.

Of-course, the truth is 180 degrees away from this position.
Cannabis is neuro-protective and is currently given to people with a
variety of neurological conditions.

Regrettably, many 'conservatively' minded people can't be reached
after viewing propaganda like this. They buy it hook, line and sinker.
And then any pro-cannabis arguments are simply nonsense.

So propaganda like this is actually detrimental to those most
persuaded by it's content. How many conservatively minded
people will want cannabis treatment for, eg, early onset dementia,
MS, diabetic neuropathy, glaucoma and a variety of cancers ?

Lucidity, a person in my local community recently wrote to our newspaper, using the tactics in the propaganda you cited.
The person doesn't mention the specific substance by name (MJ!), but insists on using the word "drugs".

The person went on to say that allowing local businesses to supply patients etc. with their herbs (again "drugs") somehow affects the children in our area.
"brain damage" was alleged.

Personally, though, what I saw before the shops opened here was,
homeless veterans were getting ripped off by teenagers hanging out at the bus stop,
because they would come in from out of town with bags of weed and the kids were literally grabbing the bags and running down the street.


I think the rabid children who steal from old people are a bigger problem by far, than what they are stealing.

if it wasn't a bag of weed those kids would just be grabbing some poor lady's purse or a bicyclist's laptop...


p.s. none of the people who write anti-mmj letters mention that Israel presribes it for PTSD to the troops

I hate to break it to Nancy Grace but people were being irresponsible with their children, including giving them marijuana, or alcohol or whatever else, before states started legalizing pot.

Like "2 Chainz" says, it's a problem of parental responsibility, not of a plant.
