The state of Colorado just got that much cooler than the rest of the county.
Residents of Avon, Colorado just got the states first marijuana vending machine. The big green machine made it’s debut appearance in front of Montana’s Smokehouse.
The ZaZZZ machine will provide the masses with edibles at ease in the near future.
Only licensed medical marijuana cardholders can access machine. A customer would need a valid ID that will be scanned and verified.
As American Green founder Stephen Shearin spoke about ZaZZZ,
“Many people could look at this and say that’s just a vending machine, and they’d be right but mostly wrong.”
That’s some knowledge right there. Shearin also told The Cannabist that the machine will be “great for shy folk.”
As was covered in the Huffington Post last June, weed vending machines have taken hold in California, but only within medical dispensaries behind counters where “only budtenders have access to them.” The ZaZZZ machine will be readily accessible by customers themselves.
Bruce Bedrick, CEO of Medbox, another weed vending machine company that has been operating as part of the niche market in California, told HuffPo:
“Some people want to see this free-flowing marijuana. They want to go from federal and state ban to marijuana for everybody. We don’t believe that can happen. In order to gain respect and trust, it’s better to go through gradual, medical adoption.”
Less than a year later, and barely six months since weed legalization in Colorado, and Bedrick’s comments are burning out.
