Starting tomorrow (Jan 28, 2008) you will be able to purchase medicinal marijuana through a vending machine (in the Los Angeles area). Well, you can purchase it, only if you have a prescription from your doctor, and then go through the process of getting finger printed, and getting a prepaid credit card- that holds all of your pertinent information (including how much, and the certain strain you require). You will be able to buy up to 1 oz per week!

OK I know this sounds cutting edge and impressive, but what else is in the works are vending machines that dole out other drugs such as Viagara, Vicodin and Propecia. Guess there are a lot of people who are concerned about hair loss. Maybe they should start reading this blog- and then they would learn about how cool it is to be bald!

If you live in the Los Angeles area, and have a prescription for medicinal marijuana, you can go to the following locations to visit these vending machines.

Got Pot – or Propecia?

Is Rogaine or Propecia not doing what you expect it to? What about hair plugs – are they looking a little unnatural? You may want to consider an actual scalp transplant. That’s right, you read that correctly. I said scalp transplant.

Thanks to successful surgeries such as a face transplant, and immunosuppressant drugs – a scalp transplant may be available in the not too distant future. I believe its being developed for burn victims and similar injuries, however anything can be yours, if enough money is involved.

The Business Shrink raises a really interesting question to this scenario,

What lengths of hair are people willing to go to have a full head of hair again. Does the thought of having a corpses well groomed head of hair give anyone the creeps? The hair that would grow from your hair at any moment would have been groomed, cut and even colored by another person for 20, 30 or even more years. The compliment, “I love your new hair style” would come to mean greater and more bizarre things.

What do you think? If you were guaranteed a great head of hair – that once belonged to someone else, and was attached to your own head in this manner. Would you consider this type of surgery?

I would really like to know what you would do.

UK Bald Men: Beware the E-Doc!

Perhaps this only goes to show that athletes are just as fragile as the rest of us. Perhaps more. They live in a “what-have-you-done-for-me-now” world, where yesterday’s hero is tomorrows zero. Confidence and self-belief are so essential to achieving the maximum athletic performance. Maybe there’s nothing left in the tank when the game is over – no confidence; no self-belief.

Enough speculation. Time to do some work and see what I can find. Baldiness.com readers want to know!

Now Matt over has Six and Out, has brought attention to cricket bowler Shane Warne, who was found to violate certain rules related to the celebrity endorsement of medicines. What medicine was he endorsing? A hair replacement clinic. That I understand. Shane was chasing the Benjamins.

The Fragile Sportsman

Zach Lund, the skeleton slider who was barred from the Olympic games because of his use of anti-balding medicine Propecia, said he took it to feel the best “vocationally, socially and sexually.” But is a man’s fear of a little hair loss worth giving up his spot to compete in the Olympics?

Considering that more than one million men have used Propecia since its launch in 1998, it seems like a lot of men are insecure about going bald. But does it really matter? Most people interviewed said it’s how you rock the bald look that matters.

They also list a few men they consider “sexy bald.”

• Patrick Stewart
• Evan Handler
• Michael Jordan
• Bruce Willis
• Tyson Beckford

What about you? Let me know who you think is sexy bald.
