NOAH STOKES
CEO - CannaGuard Security
With years of experience in the security and technology industry, Noah believes that the proper utilization of technology and intelligent design can make a MJ facility one that people will avoid, rather than attack. Founder of CannaGuard Security, the Nations’ Premier Cannabis Security Company, his company services the legal cannabis industry by providing overly compliant security systems for the licensed growers and retailers in the Medical and Recreational markets.
Politically, Noah is a member of the Oregon Cannabis PAC and has worked hand in hand with the OLCC in the crafting of the rules and regulations for recreational MJ in Oregon. He is also very active in the fight for normal access to banking for the cannabis industry. He has addressed politicians in DC on multiple occasions, asked to join senators and representatives press conferences, and testified to joint committees on MJ regulation because of his tireless work in driving the industry forward. He has also trained regulators. Noah was instrumental in the implementation and success of the Cannabis Creative Conference (CCC), one of the largest, and arguably most successful cannabis B2B/educational conferences in the state of Oregon to date.
Noah’s personal mission is to help facilitate the relationship between licensee and regulator, ensuring not only the highest compliance standards are met, but also providing a robust security solution to the industry.
CannaGuard has worked with over 1000 licensees nationwide, mostly in the highly regulated states of Oregon and Washington, and has completed over 100 installs with a perfect first inspection approval rate.
