I guess this is another trend which science fiction totally failed to predict: medical marijuana as an anger management tool. The jaw dropping information comes at the end of an Associated Press report on vending machines in L.A. now dispensing medical marijuana.

A man who said he has been authorized to use medical marijuana as part of his anger management therapy said the vending machine's security measures would at least protect against illicit use of the drug. "You have kids that want to get high and that's not what marijuana is for," Robert Miko said. "It's to medicate."

Fiction rarely tops the weirdness and mysteries of real life.
