CORONA, Calif., July 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AVT, Inc. (OTC Markets: AVTC) (www.autoretail.com), a leader in custom vending machines and automated retailing systems announced that their new Lane Recognition Technology will have a profound impact on America's growing legal marijuana industry.

In a report by CNN, the use of legal marijuana to treat a variety of conditions is now allowed in almost half of the country. New York was one of the latest states to pass legalization legislation. "The momentum has picked up recently," CNN reported, as more states line up to pass sensible laws regarding the medical use of cannabis.

AVT has developed new Lane Recognition Technology, which identifies every item in its temperature controlled storage area, and provides verification on each package that it dispenses. The system eliminates human error and provides 100% dispensing accuracy.

This is especially critical in the use of medical marijuana, where proper dosing is vital.

In a related article by Dr. Sanjay Gupta, chief medical correspondent at CNN, he reported that Pete Carroll, the coach of the Super Bowl-winning Seattle Seahawks, said the National Football League should explore medical marijuana if it helps players. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell hasn't dismissed the idea, saying that if marijuana is reconsidered by the medical establishment, the league would treat it the same as any other medicine.

"The fast moving and rapidly expanding medical and legal marijuana industries hold the promise of extended opportunities for technology and systems providers like AVT," said Shannon Illingworth, Founder and Chairman of AVT. "Our new system helps companies in the cannabis industry dispense their products in a safe, accurate, compliant and transparent manner," he added. "Those are going to continue to be the key elements in the growth of this industry."
