Autospense: Marijuana vending machine

I’m not sure I’m totally sold on Aliso Viejo’s Dispense Labs’ Autospense medical marijuana vending machine. I suppose for convenience it wins, however cutting out the person behind the counter whose job it is to guide you in the right direction with the vast cannabis selections in states with dispensary cultures is like cutting out the pharmacist at your local pharmacy.

Different strains of marijuana have very different effects, and it really helps to have someone with a working (even anecdotal) knowledge of the strains to assist when making your choices. It’s also important to physically see and smell the cannabis before purchasing. With Autospense, you can’t do that and it seems like a gamble.

From Orange County Register:

To use, patients must swipe a registration card, then enter a PIN number. Payment may be made with cash, credit or debit, then a door opens to release the product.

From the Autospense website:

After providing the proper documentation, the patient will be issued a pre-approved registration/membership card and have the opportunity to register in an optional finger print scanner system, which enables around-the-clock access to the Autospense machine. The member is granted access and walks into a well secured and camera monitored showroom.

Happy 4/20 to you and yours!

If you happen live in California, I highly (see what I just did there?) suggest visiting your favorite and local dispensaries today for their 4/20 deals and freebies. Talk about a great holiday!

Richard’s favorite dispensaries here in Los Angeles are Green Cure on La Brea at San Vicente and LAPCG in West Hollywood. He won’t let me reveal his favorite strains, though.

94-year-old woman arrested for trying to smuggle weed

A 94-year-old Mexican woman was arrested while trying to cross the border at Nogales, Arizona, allegedly with over 10.5 pounds of marijuana strapped to her torso and legs.

I hope they didn’t take her to jail. This isn’t exactly the kind of thing that a 94-year-old just up and decides to do on their own!

Snoop Dogg’s new smokable book ‘Rolling Words’

A truly fantastic idea by San Francisco agency Pereira & O’Dell to promote Snoop Dogg’s Kingsize Slim Rolling Papers: Rolling Words. Rolling Words is a book made entirely out of hemp where each page is a rolling paper with Snoop Dogg’s lyrics and witticisms written on them (in non-toxic ink of course). Also, the spine of the book has a match striking surface so you can smoke up on the run.

Folks attending Coachella this year will get to sample Snoop’s creation.

I don’t necessarily know what to make of this, and I don’t know who made it, either, but one thing’s for sure: Mario looks high as hell. Just look at him!

I’ve never been a big fan of Valentine’s Day. In fact, I kinda despise it, it’s just some dumb made up “holiday” to sell stuff, although if my special someone presented me with a glorious heart-shaped box of weed like one of these, it just might change my mind…

Gorgeous glass ‘marijuana nugget’ weed pipe

Pacific Glass Gallery designer “Mr. Gray” will be unveiling his latest glass pipes in the next few days, including this insanely intricate marijuana nugget puffer.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bowl quite this elaborate. I wonder if it’s difficult to clean?

It’s not listed on Pacific Glass Gallery‘s website yet, but if you’re interested, keep checking the website under “Mr. Gray.” (If you just can’t wait for this puppy to go up for sale, Illuzion Glass Galleries in Colorado has similar designs).

Marijuana mohawk (you heard me, correctly)

I’ve never really cared for the mohawk much as a hairdo—it’s more of a hair don’t as far as I am concerned—but THIS, yes, this, I can deal with.

Apparently, the above photo is from a 1995 issue of High Times.

Here’s a mildly entertaining DIY apple bong with a face carved on it. You’d probably have to use that sucker fast though, before oxygen turns it all brown.

Wake ‘N Bake: Coffee cup weed pipe

Marijuana and coffee are two great tastes that taste great together. I can’t believe no one has thought of this design sooner, although, I can see some problems that might occur here, like burning your face off with scalding hot coffee. Stoners often aren’t the most aware bunch and this contraption might require a little concentration. I’d think a coffee bong might work better but that might make for a bitter brew…

FYI, I can’t find anywhere on the Internet where the coffee cup pipe is available for purchase.

You can purchase one at ZANG! for $39.99. Thanks, Matt!
