Cannabis Convention in OKC a Phenomenal Success for American Rebel
Cannabis Industry's first Inventory Control Safe and Vault Doors Receive Strong Interest
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK / ACCESSWIRE / October 6, 2020 / American Rebel - America's Patriotic Brand (OTCQB:AREB) projects over $60,000 worth of potential business was created at CannaCon South held September 28 and 29 at the Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City. American Rebel partnered with Lock It Up Safe Company for the convention, which was well attended. "We sold over $15,000 worth of product right on the convention center floor," said American Rebel's National Sales Manager Brett Lafferty. "And we have a long list of dispensary operators, growers, and processors interested in our customized Inventory Control solutions. Our experience at this convention validates the vast opportunity that exists for Inventory Control Safes and Vault Doors and American Rebel's positioning as a leader in the industry."
American Rebel had planned to exhibit at five different CannaCon Conventions throughout 2020; but due to coronavirus concerns, the CannaCon South event in Oklahoma City was the first CannaCon convention for the year. American Rebel reached out to its dealer account in Oklahoma, Lock It Up Safe Company, to work the event together. "Over and above the 5 Inventory Safes sold at the event, we expect to do a lot of business after the show," said Lock It Up Safe Company founder Stephen Hall. "In addition to the Inventory Safes, many dispensary operators are building vault rooms and we expect to sell quite a few American Rebel Made in America Vault Doors too."
Medical cannabis was legalized in mid-2018 in Oklahoma and the legal cannabis business is in full swing. Total state and local tax collections, including the 7% excise tax, taken in from January - July 2020 are nearly 1.5 times the total tax collected on cannabis in all of 2019. So far in 2020, more than $45 million in tax proceeds from medical marijuana sales have gone to state and local entities, according to the Oklahoma Tax Commission. It said those entities include the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) for operating costs, the state's general revenue fund, and a drug and alcohol rehabilitation fund. There were 5,971 licensed growers, 2,087 dispensaries and 1,328 processors in the state as of mid-September, the OMMA said.
