While they claim it would be secured so it couldn't be broken into, the person using it (legally) would be so vulnerable to being robbed once they were done. What kind of security would be provided there? And when you talk about after hours, that would mean more vulnerable. I would assume "on hours" the dispensary would have a security guard, or at least personnel who would be able to assist you if something happened... They going to have a cop sit in his car across the street all night to make sure nothing happens on the way back to your car? This would be a huge target. That sounds like a really terrible idea.

I wish the turd sniffers in my state would get cannabis legalized so we could get a piece of the of money to be made. But alias, Florida is always last to see an chance for her citizens to make money. All manner of ideas and opportunities are sprouting up, and why not you are talking about a 35 billion dollar crop.

This exact argument has been going on for nearly 60 years. My mother was one of the most vehement anti-pot people ever imagined. A dyed-in-the-wool American, through and through. She came over one day to go to dinner with me. I proceeded to roll up and smoke 8 joints in front of her. I then carried on a coherent conversion with her and made the points, "Look mom, I'm stoned as can be. I don't have any ideas of raping the neighbor's 10-year-old. I don't want to kill the guy who did me wrong. I don't want to rob a bank. I just want to have dinner. Kind of makes BS out of all the things the 6 o'clock news tells you every night, huh?!?" This was nearly 40 years ago. I am now a retired engineer and scientist.I can't tell you what all I have worked on, as it would immediately identify me. My mom passed away in 1998. You are all being duped by the powers that be. If pot were legal there would be 10,000 cops out of a job, along with all the other big shots who think they are doing something (well, they tell you they are every day on the news). As for pot being a "gateway" drug, there was a comedian over 20 years ago who made the joke, "Yeah pot is a gateway drug! Because the cops force me to buy pot from the gangbanger on the south side of town. While I'm there he says, "Hey man, wanna try this cocaine I just got in? You aren't gonna tell him no, so you try it. Now you like cocaine too! I would have never tried it otherwiwise!!!" Get the point America? Let’s stop this semantic farce once and for all, shall we.

It sounds pretty cost effective and profitable if it was run properly. Plus there is a bonus. Its a robot dealing your weed so if the feds come you arent even there. The money gets picked up by the armored car guy. They wire the cash to your debit card or paypal.
