A Marijuana First: Pot Vending Machines Dispense Weed (In weed happy Seattle!)
NBC News ^ | 02/04/15 | By Miranda Leitsinger

Posted on 02/04/2015 8:40:18 AM PST by AngelesCrestHighway

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.

Apparently no commenters made it to the second sentence:

"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".

Pennsylvania's State Liquor Stores had kiosks which checked ID, sobriety and the like before dispensing their wares. They were a complete and total flop and waste of money.

Kind of funny that these ZaZZZ machines claim to do similar screening when the screening should be done before the customers even reach the machines, eh?

No, the "which" in "which helps to verify" refers to "placed in medical pot dispensaries".

Yes, "allows its clients to sell" NOT "allows its end users to buy".
