Weed via vending machine.

No I'm not kidding.

Man, that reminds me of Futurama's "Delicious Crack" vending machines. Life imitates art, perhaps?

Don't Bogart that vending machine!

Once you have the credit card in hand, you can enter the "standalone room" that is "protected by round-the-clock security guards." Then you can run home in glee at having paid for weed. from. a. vending. machine.

LOL! Not quite up to the Futurama Delicious Crack level yet, but we will have to wait and see what the future holds! LOL!

So how long before the Feds put it on a stake-out and arrest the owner for distribution of a prohibited narcotic? Some states allow medical use, but its still illegal at the federal level, and there have been numerous occasions of the FBI raiding state-licenced growers and distributers.

OOH!?! I can't wait for that to hit Oregon. Talk about making life easier.

It would go well next to one of those vending machines that sells ramen, with a hot water spigot, or Orac's Kosher foods machine. Think of the vending machine mall possibilities.
