AVON, Colorado – Stephen Shearin believes his company is evolving the marijuana industry by creating a vending machine for pot and pot products.

“It’s extremely cool this is the first one,” Shearin said.

Shearin is the chief operating officer for Tranzbyte, a company that owns American Green. American Green is the manufacturer of a vending machine called the ZaZZZ, which starts by verifying a person’s age through their driver’s license.

“They would swipe their driver’s license at which point multiple cameras would allow us to use some advanced biometrics to make absolutely certain that the person who swiped the card is the owner of that card,” Shearin said.

The ZaZZZ machine could contain marijuana, pot edibles, and other pot-related products. But, it will not be located in the open public.
