A few weeks ago,the first marijuana vending machine opened in L.A. These machines supply marijuana to people who are prescribed marijuana for health reasons. First the patience need to get a prescription from a doctor; then the patience is fingeprinted; then a prepaid card is issued, that also contains information about the dosage and type of drug prescribed. Once a patience has a card, whenever he need a new supply, he can access the Anytime Vending Machines. The first one of this machines was positioned at the Herbal Nutrition Centre in Los Angeles. There are strict security measures to avoid that someone else can pickup the presciption, included a live fingerprint scan.
