Marijuana vending machines in US

Vending machines distributing the drug marijuana are to begin operating in
the US state of California.

The machines can only be used by people who have been prescribed the drug
for health reasons.

Patients will have to provide a prescription, and be fingerprinted and
photographed before being allowed to use the facilities.

Eleven US states allow the medicinal use of marijuana, primarily for pain
relief, but it remains controversial.

Vince Mehdizadeh, owner of the Herbal Nutrition Centre in Los Angeles,
where one of the two first machines is based, said it would allow patients
to buy extra supplies whenever needed.

Series of checks

Once the users have been photographed, fingerprinted and have shown their
prescription, they will be issued with a card which can be used in the
machines, he told KWTX News 10 in the US.

"They'll be greeted by a security guard right there. They'll slide the
card in and they'll fingerprint in to verify that it's them," he was
quoted by KWTX News 10 as saying.

"A camera takes a picture of them, verifying that they're actually at the
machine. And they get the medicine and they move on."

The operators think that vending machines issuing prescription drugs could
become a common sight in the US.

Proponents say marijauna is a valuable tool for relieving pain and
stimulating appetite in the sick.

However, it remains banned by the 1970 Controlled Substances Act and the
US federal government does not currently recognise any legitimate medical
use.

Hi,

I don't know what it's called, but I've been used to some very potent head 
that produces very loud, slow thoughts. In the abscence of any other entity, 
I'd describe it as a slow conversation with God. Well, I'm done with that 
and want to try a few other strains.

I once had some hooch that made me feel very heavy, relaxed and made me just 
melt into my couch. I think that's an Indica type high, and was wondering 
either of these 2 are going to do it for me?

There are also some strains I'd like to try which I've heard produce a very 
happy Sativa type high, as opposed to the physical Indica stoned sensation. 
Are any of these likely to produce the elevated emotions I've heard about?

As White Widow is an Indica I doubt it.
