What could possibly go wrong?------A Marijuana First: Pot Vending Machines Dispense Weed

A Marijuana First: Pot Vending Machines Dispense Weed - NBC News.com:
"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.
Though vending machines appeared for the first time in Colorado last year, those sold only edibles, or cannabis-infused foods, and not the plant's flower buds that are so often associated with smoking pot.
"It's historic, there's just no other way to state it.
We saw the repeal of prohibition in the early 20th century and the mark that made on our country and the companies that did it right," Patrick said.
"We're in that stage.
This will only happen once in our country's history, the repeal of this prohibition."
The machines have a touchscreen where buyers can make orders, play video games and read medical information about the products.
..."Once you swipe your ID, you can go shopping on the screen," Patrick said.
"You can be in and out — literally — in a matter of minutes."
..."That machine is like a miniature little Fort Knox," Patrick said."
