Marijuana Vending Machine - Pics and video of the marijuana vending machine now dispensing medical marijuana in Los Angeles, California.
The prescription marijuana vending machine dispenses medical-cannabis to patients who provide a doctor’s prescription via a special State of California identification card and their fingerprints.
“Convenient access, lower prices, safety, anonymity,” inventor and owner Vincent Mehdizadeh said, extolling the benefits of his pot vending machine.
The computerized machine requires fingerprint identification and a prepaid card with a magnetic stripe. Once the card and fingerprint are verified, a bright green envelope with the pot drops down a slot.
Mehdizadeh says cannabis users approved for precription use of medical marijuana and registered in a computer database at his dispensaries can pre-purchase the drug and then use the machine to pick up refills at their convenience.
According to Mehdizabeh, the marijuana vending machine provides convenience and privacy for users who may otherwise feel uncomfortable about buying marijuana.

Marijuana use is illegal under federal law, which does not recognize the medical marijuana laws in California and 11 other states.
And that’s the latest news on California’s marijuana vending machine.
