Seattle to get Washington state’s first marijuana vending machine

Marijuana vending machines

It is the American Green ZaZZZ machine and it will be at the Seattle Caregivers medical dispensary as of February 3rd. Just like with alcohol, marijuana can only legally be sold to persons 21 or over in Washington state so the cannabis vending machines will be equipped with a biometric ID scanner.

In addition to both medical and recreational marijuana, the ZaZZZ machine will be stocked with pot-infused edibles. “This is an exciting time in Seattle’s cannabis community,” Stephen Shearin of American Green said in a statement.

Shearin, who is both president and chief operating officer of American Green, said the machines are a great convenience to customers and will cut down waiting times. “Why wait 10 minutes in line if you can walk right over?” he asked.

Cannabis in the U.S.

There are four states in the U.S. with legalized recreational marijuana laws, along with Washington there’s Oregon, Colorado and Alaska (the Alaskan law goes into effect Feb. 24). As well as those states there are 19 other states that have medical marijuana laws. Washington State’s medical marijuana bill passed in November of 1998 while Initiative 502, the decriminalization of possessing pot for recreational use, passed in November of 2012.

There is a Zazzz marijuana vending machine in Eagle-Vail, Colorado, at least one medical marijuana vending machine in California and a medical marijuana vending machine in Vancouver, Canada.
