If you happen to live in a state in which recreational marijuana is legal, congratulations and I’m jealous. Of course, the downside of picking up your stash is having to deal with people face to face, especially in the coronavirus era. Thankfully, that’s not going to be a concern much longer as weed vending machines are coming to America as of September 2020.
We’ve launched in Colorado and will be going live this week!

- This ingenious invention is called Anna. Matt Frost, founder and CEO of the company, came up with the idea for the “tricked out vending machine” that dispenses weed on demand. The machine can fulfill orders for marijuana and related products like edibles and vape oils while you wait. It’s quick and efficient and super convenient for those of us who are a bit more introverted.
- The first machine is already out in Strawberry Fields in Pueblo, Colorado. Not only that, but they plan on dropping a second Colorado kiosk as well as kiosks in Frost’s home state of Massachusetts from next month. What a great way to bring the self-service aspect of shopping to the weed sector. Why wasn’t this a thing sooner?
- If you know what you want, weed vending machines are the perfect option. “There are experienced cannabis customers who don’t necessarily need that one-on-one interaction with a budtender. They know what they want before they walk in, they’re ready to go in and out,” Frost said, according to the Denver Post. “By doing this we’re giving more time back to the people who do need hand-holding and want that education from a live person.”
- You’ll still need to show ID to get your fix. However, once you’re verified, you can place your order and get your stuff in no time. Anna apparently offers a mobile app as well so you can order on your phone and pick up at the machine, making the whole process even more efficient. Sounds good to me!
anna’s got a new home! 🍓😉@strwbrryfldsmj #cannabiscommunity #cannabis #dispensary #cannabisculture #weed #marijuana #hightimes #cannabisindustry #dispensaries #recreationalmarijuana pic.twitter.com/W2sJdVvpZy
