Stash Machine

Behold the world's first automatic vending machine that discharges medicinal marijuana – and it's in Los Angeles, outside Melrose Quality Pain Relief on Melrose in the Mid-Wilshire area. But there are others in place outside other dispensaries around town that will be fully operational by Monday. And no, your ATM card won't work in them. We tried. (Thrillist; t/y Beau)

After cinching up your doctor's consultation, hit an AVM location to get your prescription approved, fingerprint taken, and a prepaid credit card loaded with your profile: dosage (3.5 or 7 grams, up to 1oz a week) and strain preference (choice of five, including OG Cush and Granddaddy Purple, the mildly hallucinogenic forebear to Prince). Then day or night, all you do is hit a machine and walk away with enough vacuum-sealed, plastic-encapsulated cheeba to adequately treat your illness, and guarantee your car never smells like new leather again.
