Marijuana vending machine making debut in Colorado

A few months ago we wrote about the wow-factor of marijuana vending machines: Their legality, how they work and why some feel these machines represent a future that revolves around convenience, control and automation. But those pot vending machines sit behind the counter, and only the budtenders would have access to them — taking something away from a consumer’s experience of, “Whoa, I just bought marijuana from a machine.” A different kind of machine, one customers can access, will debut in Colorado this weekend. It’s called ZaZZZ, and maker American Green calls it “an automated, age-verifying, climate-controlled marijuana dispensing machine.”
The machine will make its debut at a private, invite-only event in Eagle County on April 12, but it will be installed inside Avon medical dispensary Herbal Elements on April 13 — a week before 4/20 — though it might not be functioning and available to customers until American Green and Herbal Elements feel it’s ready.
