Weed history is being made in Seattle: the first vending machines to dispense marijuana flower buds debuted Tuesday.

The machines, called ZaZZZ, are being placed in medical pot dispensaries, which helps to verify customer's age and identity since medical marijuana cards are required to enter the centers, said Greg Patrick, a spokesman for the maker of ZaZZZ, American Green.

The machines have a touchscreen where buyers can make orders, play video games and read medical information about the products. They swipe their medical marijuana IDs or driver's licenses to make sure they can legally purchase the goods and must pay in cash or bitcoin since the federal government doesn't allow debit or credit cards to be used in the sale of marijuana.

Like machines that dispense soda or snacks, ZaZZZ intends to speed up the distribution for those who don't want to wait in a line at the dispensary.

3. Sounds good to me. . . .

I wouldn't have to chase down my supply every month if I could get it from a vending machine. . .

4. Put them in motels

right beside the pop and ice machines. Right next to the condom dispenser.

5. Sometimes our dark conservative present saddens me....

...And then I see stories like this, and remember that even the evil, boundlessly wealthy, and all-powerful people who have destroyed America still like to smoke weed, too, as almost everyone who tries it does.
