Cal-i-forn-ia Here I Come

So I consider myself a New Yorker. The idea of going to California for anything more than a vacation is maddening to me. Earthquakes! Fires! Mudslides! DRIVING! These are all things I haven't experienced, but am pretty sure I'd hate. Plus, I don't think it's right to live somewhere without a full range of seasons. HOWEVER, after reading this article, I think I might have found my reason to put all that shit behind me and pack it up ,and head out to California:

"LOS ANGELES - The city that popularized the fast food drive-thru has a new innovation: 24-hour medical marijuana vending machines.
Patients suffering from chronic pain, loss of appetite and other ailments that marijuana is said to alleviate can get their pot with a dose of convenience at the Herbal Nutrition Center, where a large machine will dole out the drug around the clock.
'Convenient access, lower prices, safety, anonymity,' inventor and owner Vincent Mehdizadeh said, extolling the benefits of the machine.
But federal drug agents say the invention may need unplugging.

'Somebody owns (it), it's on a property and somebody fills it," said DEA Special Agent Jose Martinez. "Once we find out where it's at, we'll look into it and see if they're violating laws.'" (click here to read full story)

Of course federal drug agents have to ruin everything, but still, a pot vending machine is totally awesome.
All they need to do is add a soda machine on one side and a snack vending machine on the other and it would be my dream. Actually, strike that, create an all-in-one pot, soda, and snack vending machine, and keep that shit in my building lobby- then it would be my dream!!
