Marijuana Blog

We all imagine the future at one time or another: jet packs, magic weight loss pills, microchips in our head that play music like an iPod. But what will marijuana be like in the future?

With the advances in breeding and growing, cannabis will likely be even more versatile than it is now. Strains with more THC, or more CBD, strains targeted to more and more specific ailments. And the way you get marijuana will be different as well.

Yes, there will still be a lot of human interaction given the complicated nature of cannabis and the lack of deep knowledge about it among the general public, and many will grow their own, especially when and where it is legal to do so. But for those who know what they want and don’t want to wait in a line or have somewhere they need to be, there will be the convenience of a vending machine.

A company that makes such a machine has already opened an office in Connecticut, where medical marijuana became legal earlier this month. It remains to be seen how popular the vending machines will become, and how many medical marijuana states will allow them in the beginning.

But one day in the future they will be available everywhere for medical and recreational users.
