Marijuana vending machine opens in Colorado
Colorado is home to a first-of-its-kind cannabis digital vending kiosk.

AURORA, Colo. — A first-of-its-kind cannabis digital vending kiosk is now open in Aurora.

Boulder-based cannabis company Terrapin has installed ACE — Automated Cannabis Experience — at its Aurora store at 11091 E. Mississippi Ave., near East Mississippi Avenue and South Havana Street.

Terrapin said the machine, developed in partnership with BMC Universal Technologies, is the first fully-automated cannabis vending kiosk on the market to fully package, live label, and dispense cannabis products while meeting or exceeding compliance requirements.

Customers scan and verify their identification card, follow the instructions on the digital screen and pay to complete their purchase. Shoppers can watch the bagging process through a 38-by-30-inch window.

Terrapin said ACE holds up to 1,152 products, depending on the size of product packaging.

Terrapin plans to roll out additional ACE machines at its locations throughout Colorado.

Terrapin said the vending machine will help with faster checkouts, allow budtenders to give more consultation to other customers, and can be programmed in multiple languages.

"As public opinion on cannabis continues shifting in favor of decriminalization and legalization, we believe innovative solutions like ACE illustrate the increasingly mainstream nature of the cannabis space," Terrapin CEO Chris Woods said.

"ACE not only improves sales but also provides unique benefits to consumers, including faster checkouts and the ability for them to engage in multiple languages. We are thrilled to be leading the charge to introduce this first-of-its-kind, genuinely game-changing way for consumers to purchase cannabis."
