| Vending machines dispense pot in LA |
| 2008-01-30 |
| 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. "Somebody owns (it), it's on a property and somebody fills it," said DEA Special Agent Jose Martinez. "Once we find out where it's at, we'll look into it and see if they're violating laws." In other news, the price of vending machine Coke has jumped to $120. Rest at link. |

| #6 Any bets on how long before the machine "Vanishes"? (Hauled away, in pieces or whole, like the way ATM's get robbed, steal the whole machine and bust it open at your convenience) |
