LOS ANGELES, Oct. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Medbox, Inc. (OTCQB: MDBX) (www.medbox.com), a leading dispensary infrastructure/licensing specialist, patented technology provider, and partner to the cannabis industry, is proud to announce the addition of Tim Morrissey to lead Medbox's wholly owned subsidiary, Vaporfection International, Inc., as Director and Vice-President.

Mr. Morrissey is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Head Choice Inc., which is involved in many facets of the vaporization industry including consultation, manufacturing, sales and distribution.  Its brands include the Da Buddha vaporizer, the Silver Surfer vaporizer, the Journey 2 and Journey 3 and most recently the Pax by Ploom. Mr. Morrissey's involvement with the Pax ranged from overseeing early stage design concepts, beta testing and marketing plans, to aiding in elements of overseas manufacturing, the original launch, and sales into more than 5,000 stores nationwide. Mr. Morrissey speaks both Cantonese, and Mandarin Chinese and owns his own factory in Guangzhou China. Mr. Morrissey has also successfully built a hemp and recycled polyester bag company, Dragons Breath LLC, whose products are among the most recognized in the smoking accessories industry. Some of these successes have come from working with vaporizer companies to produce their own co-branded carrying cases for many of the vaporizers in the market today.

"I'm pleased to have someone with Tim's background and skills leading Vaporfection International, especially as we roll out our exciting new portable vaporizer, the miVape," commented Guy Marsala, CEO at Medbox, Inc. "This is yet another key development in the maturation process of Medbox's leadership team and business model."

Mr. Morrissey stated, "In 2012 and 2013 my company was selected to be the exclusive distributor of the Pax vaporizer and had the most successful launch of a product into the specialty smoking industry. I am now setting my sights on the Vaporfection award-winning line of products that feature patented glass-on-glass heating and a host of features patients and consumers will undoubtedly enjoy. I am ecstatic that Medbox has chosen me to lead this brand and I will do my part to bring value to the company and its shareholders."

Management commented that the new miVape portable vaporizer that is being launched in December of this year is anchored by four new design and utility patents issued earlier this year (D708,727 S; 8,739,786 B2; US 8,739,787 B2; and US 8,739,788 B2).
