I think the perfect location for this marijuana dispensing vending machine is next to the Red Box machine at Stop & Shop.. Maybe then Stop & Shop could finally compete with the Market Basket in Chelsea !!

Malden River? Then the seeds will be cultivating themselves and the Aflack,s will be getting high. You can bet when they put it in a secluded place there will be alot of cracked skulls from them getting robbed. To make things worse they will be falling in the Malden River Poluting it.

They should put these at the homes of all the big supporters of this.

Love this article .... Wakefield and Melrose have the cannoli’s to fight and keep them out all together...Not Malden, they don't think it will hold up in court. So now the council are fortune tellers...Give me a break and for once grow a pair. I agree Kelly put them in front of all the council’s homes.. but we all know that won’t happen. No need to put them next to redbox in Stop and Shop dealers sell it outright in the frozen food section during peak hours, you don’t want to mess up their profit margin.

i agree with kelly,lets put them in the politicians neighborhoods who came up with this fantastic idea,and then lets see how fantastic they think it is after about a year.it will be gone.

To Telli..'politicians neighborhoods who came up with this fantastic idea' ? Did you even read the article above? The City Council is trying to circumvent the new law, to keep it out of Malden. And it wasn't the politicians who created this new law, it was, say it with me....V-O-T-E-R-S! The majority spoke with the ballot question, so deal with it! Talk about selective reading!

I dont get this, If it is for medical reasons why aPot Machine? I get my heart meds at a drugstore not a push button machine. See just like I said give em an inch they take a foot. Be just like pouring a cola at Burger King.

why keep it out? alcohol is worse for you and alcoholics love getting loud and start fights and drive drunk and kill people. Pot heads are mellow tend to get quite usually hug rather than fight and I have never heard of someone getting killed by a stoned driver not that I condone smoking and driving. I don't think there has even been a marijuna overdose death that I am aware of or Marijuana poisining like alcohol. So why get your panties in a bunch over medical marijuna or recreational marijuna. Obviously the people of Mass want this so ADAPT to change!

Here come the pot saves the world people. Imagine if you put this much effort into something worthwhile.

Again, Puritanical, welcome-to-1950 NIMBY-ism

How about next to Ed Markey's house...he has a residence in Malden, right ???

Read the Boston.com article which explains why it was zoned as it was. There may be legal implications for outright banning. Plus I don't recall such vitriol for granting Liquor Licenses in the city. Plus its not as if you can walk in and buy pot like buying a case of beer. Marijuana hasn't been legalized in Massachusetts, and said dispensary's may contribute to legally being purchased and then resold illegally (which I certainly see happening) but then again, its readily available throughout all cities and towns if someone knows the right contacts. There are much harder drugs in our community to be concerned with being sold, distributed and consumed illegally than to worry too much about a legally distributed and monitored medical Marijuana dispensary. Plus its not as if Malden will have the only one around, and there are much harder, addictive and crime inducing drugs available at CVS, Walgreens in their Pharmacies....no one seems worried about that. A dispensary, as is shown in other states, is just a pharmacy for one particular medically legal drug.

Raj, I see Ed Markey in the city often as he works out at the Malden YMCA...scary part of the recent Herald article about the Congressman was how they quoted someone from the 'Legendary Moes Café" and the Broken Yolk...Moes has been open for only a few months (so how is it legendary?, no ones ever in it and no one knows where it is) and no one goes to the Broken Yolk...everyone goes to the Doo Wop...including Markey.

@Trey, exactly right...alcohol is the biggest Killer of all, and there are stores are on every corner,...some people actually benifit from med marijuana...I say as long as it's regulated what's the big deal...chill...

skip the machine, someone just drop it off out front for me?

Mmmmm cookies

Seattle and Colorado got it right

By the way marijuana is not illegal in this state, it's a misdemeanor like drinking in public

Still can't understand the argument that it's "poison", meanwhile we were all losing our s**t over Twinkies.

when i get the munchies I go to All Seasons Table..accept no substitute
