"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." |

they should just "forget" to install the security system and i'm sure people would be alot happier. |

excellent, we're making the move to a bioshock-like culture. |

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...? |

good question. |

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. |
