Marijuana vending machines in US

"Eleven US states allow medical marijuana on doctors'
orders
Vending machines distributing the drug marijuana are to
begin operating in the US state of California.

The machines can only be used by people who have been
prescribed the drug for health reasons.

Patients will have to provide a prescription, and be
fingerprinted and photographed before being allowed to use
the facilities.

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.

Series of checks

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, he told KWTX News 10
in the US.

"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."

The operators think that vending machines issuing
prescription drugs could become a common sight in the US.

Proponents say marijauna is a valuable tool for relieving
pain and stimulating appetite in the sick.

However, it remains banned by the 1970 Controlled Substances
Act and the US federal government does not currently
recognise any legitimate medical use."

i'm sure people would be alot happier.

Once you''ve gone throught that rigmarole of having your
picture taken and DNA tested.. and escorted by a guard... at
what point is the vending machine more convenient than it
being given to you by the person' that checked your photo,
DNA, escorted you to the machine...?

when, despite the ridiculousness of it, that is more
convenient than going to one of the clubs when they're
open.

when you factor in the even greater security at the cannabis
clubs (multiple guards, big fat machine guns and all that),
the fact that it is open 24 hours a day, and that when you
go to the clubs there are lines from dealing with people who
are literally high 24/7, a little finger print and photo id
check is certainly less effort.

also, fingerprint does not equal dna.

I think he's referring to how most psychoactive drugs that
have been outlawed in the U.S. were done so out of racial
bigotry/prejudice and fear, rather than any legitimate
medical or social concern.
