Vincent Mehdizadeh made the vending machine to get marijuana. The PVM verifies that the user is legally allowed to purchase medicinal marijuana by requiring a prescription card and a fingerprint that is associated with the holder of the card. Sadly, the machine does not allow any one user to take more than one ounce of medicinal marijuana a week :( Each transaction gives the customer about one-eighth to two-eighths of an ounce. Another benefit of the machine, according to Mehdizadeh, is lower cost. By eliminating the workers behind the counter at the distribution centers, buyers will pay $20 to $40 less per one-eighth of an ounce.

Prop 203

Proposition 203 makes medical marijuana legal. The prop has officially passed by more than 4,300 votes. The proposition started off losing which made Michael and Megan very upset. However, later it caught up and made us very happy :)
