Medical Marijuana Vending Machines Take Root in LA: Turn On, Tune In, Enter Your Pin Number

The city that popularized the fast food drive-thru has a new innovation: 24-hour medical marijuana vending machines.

Patients suffering from chronic pain, loss of appetite and other ailments that marijuana is said to alleviate can get their pot with a dose of convenience at the Herbal Nutrition Center, where a large machine will dole out the drug around the clock.

"Convenient access, lower prices, safety, anonymity," inventor and owner Vincent Mehdizadeh said, extolling the benefits of the machine.

But federal drug agents say the invention may need unplugging.

2. I've got a buddy in N.Cal. with a license to grow pot

He grows quite a bit more than he is allowed to, but.......Hoorah for Humbolt County!

4. I have NEVER seen a legit reason for NOT making pot legal.

IMO, it goes back to prejudices against us "unwashed hippies" <translation = college students> of the 60s and how the establishment thought that anything we thought was good had to be evil.

5. It's more than that

"IMO, it goes back to prejudices against us "unwashed hippies"...."

It goes back further; most drug laws were put on the books in the 1920s and 1930s in response to "drug-crazed negroes" threatening white women.
