Marcellus Cornwell should be on Shark Tank, if Shark Tank was on the Vice Network. This fella had a weed vending machine attached to an apartment building in Detroit. This vending machine lasted for FOUR YEARS before they busted him, and get this...it made $2000 a day.

All it took was a viral video that someone took, showing off where this person got her dope...and the party was over. The best part of this entire video, the authorities "praising" Marcellus for being a creative business man. Just when you think you see everything in the drug world, here's a touch screen vending machine selling weed.

"Entrepreneurial at best, unfortunately both things were illegal. You do this stuff inside a neighborhood, people are going to take notice and they're going to get mad." - ATF Representative 

Of course Marcellus had his place raided, and it didn't end well. Tons of drugs and guns.
