GibbsFactor Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 1) Betting that tobacco vending machines are illegal, there. 2) OTOH, I suppose that weed isn't as bad for you. It's purer, but has no filter and as a result one joint has the tar of 20 cigarettes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Shot Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I do wonder about this though. Why is it that Salvia is legal and Marijuana isn't? Salvia makes you ****ing trip rainbows and dinosaurs. What keeps it legal? Medicinal value? I can't think of how it would be of medicinal use. I mean, no complaints, but I'm wondering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baculus Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 dont you have to smoke a ridiculous amount of salvia to feel the effects:whoknows: As I hear, you just need a couple of ingested hits to feel the affects. We have to remember that his machine also sells other medicine. I wish I could avoid the pharmacy and just hit up a machine to fulfill a prescription.

One Shot Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 dont you have to smoke a ridiculous amount of salvia to feel the effects:whoknows: it's all in the individual hits. You have to breathe in a sizable amount and hold it 15-20 seconds before letting go. Do that a few times and you'll be playing space tennis with some meteorites for a good 20-30 minutes. at least....that's what, uh, my friend told me.

Mickalino Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Suddenly, I'm feeling some chronic pain, and am desperately in need of medication......would someone out of the kindness of their heart, loan me their "Pot-Card" ? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22910820/?GT1=10856 Pot vending machines take root in Los Angeles Machines distribute the drug to people with cards authorizing use Los Angeles medical-cannabis dispensary owner Vincent Mehdizadeh poses with his new Marijuana vending machine installed at the Herbal Nutrition Center in Los Angeles Tuesday. LOS ANGELES - 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." At least three dispensaries in the city, including two belonging to Mehdizadeh, have installed vending machines to distribute the drug to people who carry cards authorizing marijuana use. Mehdizadeh said he spent seven months to develop and patent the black, armored box, which he calls the "PVM," or prescription vending machine. Convenience and privacy A sliding fence protects the tinted windows of his dispensary, barely distinguishing it from a busy thoroughfare of strip malls, automobile dealers and furniture shops. A box resembling a large refrigerator stands inside the nearly empty shop, near a few shelves stocked with vitamins and herbs. A guard in a black T-shirt emblazoned with the word "Security" on the front stands at the door. A poster of Bob Marley decorates a back room. The computerized machine requires fingerprint identification and a prepaid card with a magnetic stripe. Once the card and fingerprint are verified, a bright green envelope with the pot drops down a slot. Mehdizadeh says any user approved for medical marijuana and registered in a computer database at his dispensaries can pre-purchase the drug and then use the machine to pick up. The process provides convenience and privacy for users who may otherwise feel uncomfortable about buying marijuana, Mehdizadeh said. At the Timothy Leary Medical Dispensary in the San Fernando Valley, the vending machine is accessible only during business hours. An employee there said the machine was introduced about five months ago, and provides speedy service. "It helps a lot of patients who are in a lot of pain and don't want to wait around to get help," Robert Schwartz said. "It's been working out great." Mehdizadeh said he sought the advice of doctors, and decided to limit the amount of marijuana per user to an ounce per week. Each purchase from the machine yields 1/8th or 2/8th of an ounce. By eliminating a vendor behind the counter, he said, the machine offers users lower drug prices. The 1/8th ounce packet would cost about $40 — $20 lower than the average price at other dispensaries. 'It's to medicate' A spokesman for a marijuana advocacy group said the machine also benefits dispensary owners. "It limits the number of workers in the store in the event of a raid, and it'll make it harder for theft," said Nathan Sands, of The Compassionate Coalition. Marijuana use is illegal under federal law, which does not recognize the medical marijuana laws in California and 11 other states. The Drug Enforcement Agency and other federal agencies have been actively shutting down major medical marijuana dispensaries throughout the state over the last two years and charging their operators with felony distribution charges. Mehdizadeh said the Herbal Nutrition Center was the target of a federal raid in December. He said no arrests were made and no charges have been filed against him. Kris Hermes, a spokesman for advocacy group Americans for Safe Access, said the machine might benefit those who already know how much and what strain of marijuana they're looking for. But he said others will want to see and smell the drug before they buy it. A man who said he has been authorized to use medical marijuana as part of his anger management therapy said the vending machine's security measures would at least protect against illicit use of the drug. "You have kids that want to get high and that's not what marijuana is for," Robert Miko said. "It's to medicate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titaw Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 wow, how many losers on here smoke this crap? You can't be serious. Just because someone smokes pot doesn't make them a loser. If you don't do it, fine, but if you drink alcohol you are no better than anyone that smokes pot. Besides alcohol is addicting and gives you a "disease", pot is not addicting and no "diseases" are associated with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 wow, how many losers on here smoke this crap? Get out of here. People who drink alcohol, something that actually can directly kill you and has a much greater chance of making you harm other people are no better than people who smoke marijuana once in a while. So if you drink, you are no "better" than people who smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBach Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Im with Peter Tosh on this one, I had asthma when I was young. Nothing the doctors prescibed could cure it. There are medicinal qualities to this natural remedy. It doesnt have to be manufactured for it to work, unlike most other medications. It didnt lead me into a life of crime, and it was not a "gateway" drug. It just cured my ailment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
