Ottawa Canada Adds Harm Reduction Vending Machines

Jan. 23, 2017

In the city of Ottawa, Canada, authorities will deliver multiple vending machines dispensing "harm reduction" items, suggested to be sterile needs and crack pipes reports The Fix. The move is a way to provide services for drug users, reports the article.  

Editor's Note: I'm not sure this is a positive move for the automatic merchandising industry, but it is an interesting development in the world of customized vending machines. People are looking to the vending industry to dispense everything, a trend that will only grow.
