Japanese vending machines sell everything from beer to veggies, so why shouldn't California set up vending machines for its biggest cash crop? Well, it's illegal for starters, but that's not stopping The Dispensary Group from launching the state's first automated marijuana dispenser so patients can get their relief when the shops are closed. Of course, you need a medical marijuana card to use it, and there are a few more "by the ways" for potential customers.

According to Dvice, the machine (called the AutoSpense) requires a special swipe card, a thumbprint, and a pin code to function. Oh, and it's under constant surveillance. We assume an electrified metal cage comes down around you and alerts a SWAT team if you get the pin code wrong, but then again, we're just guessing. So, tell us: Does California's first weed vending machine sound like a good idea?

    Our government claims that Marijuana is illegal because it is a health hazard. Meanwhile, cigarettes and alcohol, which are far worse for your health are legal. Not to mention pharmaceuticals, some food additives, and other things in our enviornment, remain to be huge obstacles to good health. So where is the logic?

    Good for them sticking to their state rights and for the citizens of California waking to the truth. Watch out though, the FDA has been doing drug raids on harmless medicinal marijuana dispensaries.

    If it alright with the people of California it is fine with me. In Texas the state said it is okay for cities to write a traffic type ticket to people caught with marihuana only Austin does that the rest of the state will arrest you and throw you in jail for possession or use of the drug.

    It's about time people began to realize that this non-toxic plant does actually come to good use, and has done so for thousands of years before us.
