aurora, Colorado residents can now purchase cannabis from a vending machine prove that they are at least 21 years old.

Turtle sanctuary The dispensary in town is the first to offer this new way of buying marijuana products – through a Automated cannabis experience (AS). Developed by Terrapin Care Station in partnership with vending machine manufacturer BMC Universal Technologies, this large machine is billed as the first fully automated cannabis kiosk on the market. writes The Denver Post.

Those interested in trying out this new pot shopping experience can only do so at this time at 1091 E. Mississippi Ave. try in Aurora. Upon arrival, customers must present ID to a pharmacy employee proving they are 21 years of age or older in order to enter. Upon entering, they can purchase cannabis products without the help of the budtenders.

More than 1000 products

Accordingly Peter Markus, communications director for Terrapin Care Station, the ACE can offer more than 1150 products, including those that require refrigeration. From flowers and edibles to concentrates and vape oil cartridges, a plethora of marijuana products is available through these vending machines.

Currently, the machine only accepts cash due to cannabis’ Schedule 1 status, which still causes difficulties in financial transactions in the industry.

It’s important to note that about three years ago, the outlet also wrote about another marijuana dispenser named Anna that was installed in Colorado.

The differences between the two are many, with the most notable, according to Marcus, being the integration of the ACE with Metrc, Colorado’s seed-to-sale cannabis tracking system, making it compliant with state and local laws. According to representatives of Strawberry Fields and Star Buds pharmacies, where Anna was first installed, the machine had compliance issues, which is one of the reasons it wasn’t used for long.
