If you live in Seattle, you are one lucky sob.

That is freaking Amazing! that's all we needed :D
Marijuana and bitcoins
I couldn't think better

I need to get Dopecoin on that :P lol

Why is this not in Colorado?
CO currently has much better prices due to lower taxes.

EDIT:
Looks like they do have some in CO.

Time to shift to Seattle

I think this is another reason why people will shy away from bitcoin. They will think it is associated with marijuanna.

First, lets buy our groceries, and booze with bitcoin. Then...marijuanna.

That is hilarious. I'll have to check this thing out next time I'm in Seattle.  :D

However, I would hate to be in charge of securing a box full of drugs and money. lol

Hey, I don't smoke marijuana (anymore), but I'll take it!

Just to have vending machines of any type is critical to getting word of mouth out there.

You know what would really spark some flames....those Redbox DVD machines accepting it!   :o :o :o

That would be absolutely killer!

So what main illnesses qualify for medical (medicinal) cannabis in these states in America?. Do you also have to feed the machine a medical certificate? lol.

I only ask because I am English and drunk.

Your comments indicate you might be a bit out of touch with the modern world:

Learn how to spell! Or just fucking right-click and fix the god damn spelling.

You don't need an illness to smoke in WA state. you just need to be over 18.
These machines however, are in medicinal dispensaries only and not the regular ones. They are not out in the street.
You have to show your ID to the machine, so i hear, not sure exactly how it works.

another adopter  :)

still waiting on 'big news'
not sure what it will take to take us out of doldrums

google should stop being such pussies and accept it and embrace

The Winkelvoss ETF will be a huge event, if it ever gets approval. This is just some positive news to tide us over for now. :)

Sweet, that's awesome!

And ChuckBuck-
I really think that would be a great idea if RedBox accepted Bitcoin and it would Definitely get people talking! However, I'm not sure that would work unfortunately because RedBox needs something it can charge daily and late fees to. The only way I could see that working is if you sent like a $15 deposit of BTC up front (to cover the possibility of late fees & stolen discs) and after you turned it in, it would take your $15 - ($1 x days rented) and automatically send the rest of your deposit back to your sending address. I think that would be really cool (and very do-able) if the whole process was automated.

For those unfamiliar with RedBox, it stores a bunch of DVDs and BluRays to rent. You swipe your credit/debit card and get your movie, and it charges you approx. $1 for it, and everyday after is $1 a day as well. And since you've already swiped your credit card, it automatically charges you for those days or an unreturned disc.

My man, snarlpill!  Long time no talk buddy.   ;D

Yes, I agree that for BTC based transactions, there would have to be a hold or reserve type amount in case of late fees for RedBox, that would get refunded automatically once the DVD is returned.  I'm sure there are developers out there that could code that up wonderfully.

Back on topic, man I guess there's gonna be a whole load of Bitstoners out in Seattle!  Hope they have a regular snack vending machine next to the Marijuana one.


P.S. - Loving the Cryptolator coins, Snarlpill.  LOVING THEM, thanks once again!!!

People say Chinese don't care about BTC anymore, so maybe someone should help them care and put thousands of these machines around China. Start with Beijing since so many BTC companies are there.

So what's up with the law in Seattle? Is it legal to possess marijuana? If not, maybe one of those vending machines could get charged with possession!

Yep, Washington and Colorado it is legal already.

Is marijuana legal in China?
If it is, that would be a good idea.  ;)

Man! that's great news
We want more of this

insert tasteless joke here about weed and chinese eyes  ;D

Ohh don't you worry, there is plenty more on the way. Bitcoin and marijuana are made for each other.

I live in the greater Seattle area and have been looking for this vending machine all over. Anyone actually know where it is? I'd buy some herb with my coin just for the novelty of seeing the machine dispence some weed.

Nice to see some progress.

Buying weed with Bitcoin, LEGALLY. Mainstream, here we come..  8)

They sure look a cute couple :D

LOL haha, great one.

It was about time
Of course it was only a matter of time from when the Silk Road came to the local vending machine near you
For Marijuana at least  ;)
