My vote for most interesting news story of the week.

...available 24/7, is fully secured in it’s own room, has two dispensaries, and full-time security for your protection. You must have a doctor’s consultation and prescription to use the machine. Once you do, go to the AVM, get you prescription approved, fingerprints taken, and get your prepaid credit card ready to use the machine. Then once you’ve done that, you can go to the AVM at anytime and get your vacuum-sealed weed! You are allowed up to 1 ounce a week.The machine will be up and running this coming Monday.

For the uninitiated, an ounce a week is enough for 6-8 people to stay high 24/7. Depending on the cost, it seems like a support for dealing (not for much profit, I'd imagine, but I could see several people pitching in and tipping the guy with the card).

Does seem like an awful lot, doesn't it? I wonder if that was a misprint?

People lose their minds when a bag of chips gets stuck and doesn't fall.. can you imagine the reaction if their weed doesn't drop!

It would be awesome if it was more like a snack machine, with different strains visible that you could choose from.

I think by law there would have to be Doritos.

That's awesome. You know somehow people are going to take advantage of this machine.

Somehow?

I don't think it will take much scheming.

**nina** · 01-31-2008 07:54 PM

That's strange, I always heard that people who are prescribed medicinal marijuana only get like several joints a month. How the hell did it turn into an ounce a week?

Heh, well I knew that, I just meant overall. It's no different then when underage kids get older people to buy them alcohol. That could easily be the case for this machine.

I don't want to harsh your giddy, but there's likely to be more backlash before there's forward lash.

The more lash they back, the more everybody else is going to get excited about opposing them. The arguments for the current drug law inconsistency are so weak that the government could never have a real debate about it. That is their weakness, and it is costing them their big magic show. I love watching it crumble.

**AmazeO XD** · 02-05-2008 07:26 AM

I told you that was hardcore

**DiScReEt** · 03-20-2008 04:23 AM

An ounce of high-grade MJ a WEEK? We're not talking schwagg or reggie miller, we're talking purple haze and northern lights. Holy shit do you know how much flipping is going to be going on?

That is one of the major areas where I say freedom is majorly disrespected here. Republicans and Democrats will go on all day about freedom and how they love to eat buttered popcorn and smoke tobacco and drink whiskey and get fat as shit and not exercise and drink coffee and miss a lot of sleep, but when you bring up marijuana, they are like, "Oh my God, people should go to jail for it! It is bad for them!" If you asked me what is the biggest WTF about American government, that would be my answer. Banning salvia divinorum in several states might be tied with it.

I don't wanna burst all your guys's bubble, but from what I heard, this requires some sort of identification card and is ONLY for MEDICAL marijuana.

I can't imagine any burst bubbles with that revelation. It was part of the original story.

how is that bursting a bubble? You know that MEDICAL marijuana is HIGH GRADE marijuana, right? Besides, as a couple people already pointed out, it's RIGHT THERE IN THE STORY. The point is that the closer MEDICAL marijuana comes to being accepted, the close we as a nation are to getting MJ legalized, or at the very least, decriminalized.
