Las Vegas to Allow Marijuana Dispensaries

CORONA, Calif., March 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AVT, Inc. (OTC Markets: AVTC) (www.autoretail.com), a leader in manufacturing safe and secure storage and dispensing systems for the marijuana industry, commented today on the news that officials in Las Vegas and Clark County, Nevada passed new regulations that will allow for medical marijuana dispensaries to be established.

Clark County commissioners approved land-use and licensing rules that clear the way for prospective medical marijuana entrepreneurs to begin filing applications for special-use permits next month.

A similar decision by the Las Vegas council means that the city will likely become the second in the valley to allow medical marijuana businesses.

This means that Southern Nevada's two largest local governments have moved firmly in the direction of allowing medical marijuana businesses, which was approved by voters, but no system to legally distribute it was established until a recent bill was passed allowing for a network of cultivation facilities, testing labs and dispensaries.

"Medbox, one of our key clients, is well positioned to provide systems and expertise to the Nevada dispensary market," Shannon Illingworth, Founder and Chairman of AVT commented. "As the manufacturing partner for Medbox, we believe that the opening of the Nevada market could provide AVT with significant additional orders for units in the near future."
