Inaugural high: The picture above was tweeted by Herbal Elements after it installed the first marijuana vending machine at a dispensary in Eagle-Vail, Colo
The so-called Zazz machine was produced by Stephen Shearin’s company, American Green, and was delivered to the Herbal Elements dispens ry Friday.
The dispensary debuted the machine to the public outside Montana’s Smokehouse barbecue restaurant in Avon recently.
“We’re looking forward to using the ZAZZ machine to easily track all this inventory … we’re gonna eliminate the middle man. It’ll go straight from the budtender right into our machine. There’s no room for theft by patients, employees … there’s no way to lose track of the inventory,” clinic owner Greg Honan said.
The machine includes technology that requires users to swipe their driver’s license to verify their identity and age. Multiple cameras attached to the machine make sure the person swiping the card is the same person depicted on the card.
