American Green's ZaZZZ Machine Becomes the Country's First Stand-Alone Bud Tender

American Green's ZaZZZ Machine Becomes the Country's First Stand-Alone Bud Tender

American Green, Inc. (OTC PINK: ERBB) announced today that two more key dispensaries are online for public use in the ZaZZZ consumer-operated, ID verifying network.

One of those machines is located at Pacific Coast Dispensary in Seattle and will be the first time that ZaZZZ has been tasked to be the stand-alone 'bud tender' at any dispensary. The other new ZaZZZ to be fully activated is located at Exhale in Los Angeles, one of the city's premier dispensaries (http://www.yelp.com/biz/exhale-med-center-los-angeles-2). Both machines will have their own bitcoin accounts and take bitcoin for purchases by week's end.

"We have been working with American Green for several weeks to accomplish this. From our first conversation we knew it was a good idea," says Jared Thompson of Pacific Coast.

"Far from replacing anyone, the machine will allow our employees more time to interact with patients which is a key part of any business," Thompson concludes.

Dimitry Muzychuk, managing partner at Exhale, who has worked steadily to get the machine in place and online, considers ZaZZZ to be a means of better servicing their clients.

"It won't be for everyone, but it's a great tool for many and from product organization to general expansion, it's a safe option for future growth," he says.

"This is the first time we've seen something like this work and it's been worth the wait."

"With the initial group of machines nearly organized, we have been able to create a process that includes delivery, relocation, regulatory compliance, product management and more. The activation of the next set of machines will be easier and enable us to shorten the order-to-activation cycle," said Stephen Shearin, American Green president.

"Best of all, we can now turn more of our attention to machine use by the public. Special deals, prizes, celebrity endorsements, and appearances will all be part of a roll-out that we expect will go on for years. With every completed installation, we learn more about what we have and what we can have. We wouldn't have done anything different getting to this point because attempting to take shortcuts early in the rollout process would have been nothing short of reckless."

By the end of the week, both machines will have their own bitcoin accounts. Each company operating a dispensary with a ZaZZZ must have their own unique bitcoin account as American Green cannot handle funds derived from these product transactions for a variety of regulatory reasons. Once set up, the process is simple to use for people who use bitcoin for purchases and will be the first time in America that Bitcoin will be used in automated vending transactions.
