$AVTC Comments on The Positive Impact of Oregon and Alaska Marijuana Legalization

CORONA, Calif., Nov. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — AVT, Inc. (OTC Markets: AVTC) (www.autoretail.com), a leader in automated retailing systems, storage and dispensing systems for legal cannabis, and custom vending machines, commented today on the voter approval of several cannabis legalization measures.

“Automated retailing is going to big a big part of the future of the American cannabis industry,” Shannon Illingworth, Founder and Chairman of AVT stated.

Tuesday’s vote to legalize cannabis in Oregon and Alaska will provide additional opportunities for sales and placements of systems.

The Oregon and Alaska measures would legalize recreational cannabis use and usher in a network of retail shops similar to those operating in Washington state and Colorado. According to CNN, the Oregon law will also create a commercial regulatory system for the production, distribution and sale of marijuana.

According to a recent article in the Washington Post, the legal cannabis industry could reach revenues of $35 billion by 2020.

“AVT has been in the controlled delivery business from the start of the legal cannabis industry,” Illingworth stated. “Our systems provide the technology that assures compliance with all regulations, so that the dispensing process is controlled, taxed, and accurate.”

“Wins in Alaska and Oregon will provide a boost to efforts in other states because they will demonstrate the benefits of regulating and taxing marijuana,” said Mason Tvert, a spokesman for the Marijuana Policy Project. “Some states will end marijuana prohibition more quickly than others, just as some states ended alcohol prohibition more quickly than others. But they all did in the end, and now just about everybody recognizes that it was a good idea,” he added.
