Medbox Inc. has created a drug dispensing system that uses hardware, software and biometric scans to verify a patient's identity.
The Los Angeles, Calif. and Connecticut based company has developed the Medbox system, which verifies a medical marijuana patient's identity using both the person's ID card and a biometric fingerprint scan, the company announced Thursday. The system also keeps a permanent record of each transaction including a photo of the person acquiring the marijuana. According to the company, the system also dispenses the medicine in moderate to low doses, sets limits depending on each state's regulations and protects the drugs from contamination.
The company is currently focused on making its system available in states that require state licensing of dispensaries including Connecticut, Colorado and Arizona and in the 18 states that are considering bills asking for legislation or voter approval of medical marijuana.
Citizens of Massachusetts may soon have the chance to vote on medical marijuana. In a decision on July 2, Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Associate Justice Robert J. Cordy approved the newly rewritten language of the medical marijuana ballot measure before the state to say: "A yes vote would enact the proposed law eliminating state criminal and civil penalties related to the medical use of marijuana, allowing patients meeting certain conditions to obtain marijuana produced and distributed by new state-regulated centers, or, in specific hardship cases, to grow marijuana for their own use."
"We look forward to the day when all states have well defined medical marijuana dispensing laws," Medbox CEO Bruce Bedrick said in a prepared statement. "Eventually all states that currently allow medical marijuana but don't have clear regulations for how it is dispensed will have to follow the example that states like Arizona and Connecticut have set forth. Our technology works to compliment regulations and enhance conformity to existing regulations."
