MJ Stocks

[continuity]

looks like it was a good day for the MJ Index. Hopefully that is a sign of good things to come. Especially for USEI! :)

[hopeful6]

Is this board taking posts??

[continuity]

I have been told by IHUB that this can not be an alternate forum for USEI. I am going to have to delete some messages. We also can not beat on the USEI admins.

[hopeful6]

Very nice post. It surely will hit home to the people whom you describe in your post. The investors who bond together for common goals makes a solid bond for the future of said stock. It tends to make, certainly not the surety of an investment, but confidence in the decision to invest in said stock and it's future. I always appreciate your posts and I probably post similar feelings or thoughts, but certainly not as eloquently. GLTA on this NEW and UP and COMING sounding board!!!

[Holdem2020]

You bring up a good point, lets see what happens.

[jugs]

Dr. Paiss, thou shalt induce no more aneurisms!

Funny, what you point out.

Not so funny is the super-sensitivity beneath those whose plaintive cries in the night speaking to likely jealousies. You leaked nothing at all. I scoured every message coming from your brain. You were completely upfront about everything. My take-away was your respect for Tony. Not to be confused with respect expected from an employee but from one man for another, the two of them formerly in a working relationship.

When you stated you are now a long, you spoke loudly and clearly as one who'd developed a level of respect for our CEO. This is something eluding most of us for we don't travel in the same circle nor do we work in it.

If there is any single quality or virtue always worthy of full satisfaction, surely it is "trust." Message boards are like steam rooms in a gym---the most likely place for breeding molds. Boards, by the same token, fairly beg for reasons to believe---to believe in the CEO, management, PR legitimacy, even us posters and most especially---posters with significant followings.

Trust is not especially abundant and perhaps it can't be. I do know there are individuals here who would never design anything aiming to hurt another. I regard those who would cause denigration and subsequent pain as the sickest of the sick. We are here to discuss our stocks of choice, not to be picked apart and eviscerated for the jollies of a twisted basher's mind.

So I personally trust those here with whom I find dialogue. Guiding me is the faith I have: Nearly all of us wish good things for others. This wish to share in life's bounties is the obvious justification for our personalizing stock ownership. Being able to do this openly with friends of like value and direction makes this a socially valuable forum.

Hi Jugs! Glad you’re there. I plan to be around for many years. Looking forward to the excitement ahead!

[zpaiss]

The most interesting thing about a company like MJMJ is that it fills a void created here in Colorado around where one can smoke if that is your desire. We are NOT allowed to smoke in public and many hotels and motels have a no smoking policy. I have read that over 60% of the sales are from visitors to Colorado so they do not have a "home" they can go to to enjoy their recent purchases. What MJMJ offers is a safe haven to both explore this new industry and then sit back and enjoy their purchases. I do have to say I know nothing about the founders of this particular company their business experience or depth of pockets.

[zpaiss]

Jugs - I can confirm that Tony not only does not read this blog but feels that for the most part what is said here make no difference to the day-to-day work he needs to be doing. Early on while I was consulting for him I posted several times about my personal experience working with Tony. He promptly received a handful of emails and even a phone call ranting and raving about what I was posting. He gently asked me to refrain from posting during this period which I gladly agreed to. I was very surprised that my simple descriptions of my working experience with tony could cause such a plethora of aneurisms and heartache. Obviously some of the posters on that earlier board were not happy that I was sharing my experiences. Oh well. - Zev

[continuity]

Added the company to the list... let's make it grow. Wonder if Ultimate Cure has a delivery service?

[hopeful6]

Not interested. Lot of new and unproven issues out there, careful she goes, everybody jumping in. Will keep my eyes open. There are hidden gems all over, have to find and diagnose to even think of investing. GLT both of us. The thrill is always finding something you believed in and seeing it grow. Enjoy the weekend. IMHO big things coming next week,the ball is just beginning to roll. Tony has been full of surprise lately, keeps life interesting.

[hopeful6]

Thanks "Q", will do some dd and make a decision. GLTU!!!!! Sounds interesting, one stop shopping. LOL!

[hopeful6]

I am still hoping more longs of the USEI brand would come to this website. Particularly in view of the negativism and the agendas of some of those posters!! I realize this board is for the sharing of info on the mj, mmj, and the hemp industry, but seeing that the majority of us seem to be former patriots of USEI,I am looking forward to more Usei supporters coming on board.
I have as I stated previously, have a strong feeling of success for USEI, barring some unfortunate or unexplained occurrence. This stock seems to be progressing with the expectations I had going forward, particularly in this new and uncharted industry. I truly believe we have a gem here. GLTU!!!!!

[QualityOf8]

**The MaryJane Group** $MJMJ Take a look!

The MaryJane Group is a Denver, CO based company who owns and operates Bud and Breakfast, MaryJane Tours, and MaryJane Glassworks.

They took the previous Adagio Bed and Breakfast in Denver, and turned it into an all-inclusive Bud and Breakfast, catering to all of your marijuana needs.

They offer a unique transportation system which will take you and a group of your friends around the city, visiting dispensaries, an active grow facility, and a local head shop, receiving discounts at each. You have a choice between a limousine and a party bus. Refreshments are provided.

MaryJane Glassworks manufactures glass pipes, bubblers, bongs, and other glass products used in the consumption of marijuana. They have a team of four glass blowers, including one Master Glass Blower.

The MaryJane group has only 18M shares outstanding, with a float of only 2M.

They are traded on the OTCQB and their financials are audited.

Grab your shares and let’s make some money!

[jugs]

Beautiful post. Absolutely beautiful! You have a knack for identifying strengths in people and corporate actions and you then demonstrate your personal stance in relation to possible impact upon others.

Mid-day PRs are generally thought to be not smart for they tend to slip beneath the radar of most investors. The standard protocol would have the PR released prior to the market opening with Monday being the day offering greatest strength. Friday is the weakest day of the week as it is the last day prior to the weekend when short-term players usually liquidate holdings. When I was writing PRs, I released them on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Wednesdays are coupon days for devotees of supermarket lore and the least effective time to be releasing a PR while Thursday is the last opportunity to capitalize on Friday which is the final splash day prior to the weekend.

I hope Tony does not hear the diatribes. Nobody should have to hear such vicious attacks over and over. It is insanely disturbing to me that anybody would assume such lofty executive privilege as to morally indict others.

QASP is, in my mind, a company without investment merit. I see a flight school unable to pay its employees, a company with no background whatsoever in the MJ sphere of influence suddenly pretending to be a hydroponic grower and facilitator and more, equally deserving of public questioning. This thing was hyped like crazy. I bought into it although on a limited scale in terms of investment. I lost a few hundred $$ because I was stupid. Shares are now waaay down just in the past couple to three weeks or so. I think everybody got smart. I would strongly encourage folks to stay away from this thing. I'm a momentum player as a rule and QASP's momentum is to the downside something awful. And volume is miniscule in comparison to where it was just a few weeks ago.

Another one to avoid in my opinion: FDMF. This is operated by a slick operator alright. I have yet to see a single instance of his doing anything at all for the enrichment of shareholders. Brian Kistler is a piece of work alright.

It's not for me to identify companies which I believe are scams for I believe any company publicly traded is capable of generating cash for the investor smart enough to capitalize on such opportunity. I am not always so smart. lol

Everything above is in my opinion only. I do not wish to discourage others from making their own investment decisions.

[hopeful6]

Hi Jugs: I had posted on the Usei board previous to the last pr, that I liked the timing of the pr, after lunch. I mentioned I was going to e-mail Tony, and tell him not to be predictable. I did e-mail him and explained that I was certainly not dictating to him, but that people on the Usei board were trying to take him down, from Stanton to Singular 96 and other initiatives on their part. I asked him to not be predictable and to post prs at various times to stop the high short volume. The last pr was after lunch, I loved it. Whether or not he reads Usei board or not I,m sure He hears the scuttlebutt.
I am excited with the potential of this stock as I think you are. I read baseball doc's posts over the last few days and think he has a lot to offer. His post of long duration, invention, patents, and some assumptions, sound as if he is seriously involved in this stock, and enjoys sharing his findings and opinions. His diction and the way he expresses himself, shows him to be a professional. I see a lot of your skills in him and I think both of you can co-exist and add tremendous merit to this board. My highest regard goes out to you. GLTU!!! GO U$$$$EI!
I did seriously consider QASP and I am still taking a hard look at it, price is very conducive to an upswing, I really like the business profile. More in a day or TWO!

[jugs]

Dang! This is starting to feel like my own personal diary. Where is everybody? Nobody wants to come to play?

We're up slightly this morning (+6%) while ERBB is down about 8%, certainly well within the usual trading ranges of late for both USEI and ERBB. That said, we're all hoping for something startling and exciting that may catapult USEI into the next galactic fairytale land where we can taste sugarplums and magical potions of your choice.

I can offer no timetable or guarantees. In fact, I'm not sure I should even suggest that we be assured good things will surely happen for us USEI shareholders. What I can say is that I believe Tony is, indeed, doing his best to form meaningful relationships standing a better than 50/50 chance of evolving into an imposing positive force yet to be appreciated.

Judging from the persuasive slant always apparent in posts on the other board, my sense is that posters appear to be making a personal appeal to Tony, wanting him to do such-and-such. It is utterly preposterous for there isn't a shred of evidence out there even suggesting that Tony has ever read a single one of our posts. Blogs aren't designed to be read by CEO's of publicly traded companies. Instead, they serve as a kitchen where would-be cooks get to experiment with their own personal takes on what might be good for the company in focus. We get to complain, gripe about dissatisfactions and also make friends with others whose interests parallel some of ours.

I hope Tony doesn't ever visit the USEI board! So much appears to be slanderous and denigrating beyond belief. The venomous attacks are more than disgraceful and some of those among us who are offended may find themselves summarily dismissed---banned from a place designed to provide a platform from which we may address USEI's shareholders and their/our communal interests.

There seems to be nothing one can hope to gain by responding to bashers. If anything, it guarantees them a thoughtful audience they can and will surely use as they smear our CEO and the company in which we've invested our dollars and emotions. I find nothing positive in counter-attacking naysayers. They will win because there is no effective way to offset their ugliness. And they will hit the red TOS button if you hit a nerve.

My thoughts only in the above.

[jugs]

One of our own good guys, Lee6, is in jail, limited to a single post per day. I don't know the length of confinement. Nor do I know what got him banned. What I do know is that he's repeatedly made a near fatal mistake of going after our resident bashers at the USEI board.

I must be superhuman for I don't give in to the impulse to maim the intrusive basher. Sure, I despise their selfish attitudes and determined effort to demean us and our choices. But I accept that I'm unable to have things my way. Perhaps things will be otherwise on a different plant in a different time.

That said, I will state that there are several bashers at the USEI board who clearly put others of us on the defensive---predictably. This is unfortunate to say the least. I'm always wondering what outsiders make of the bickering, nitpicking and shoddy handling we respecting investors tolerate---until one of our own is mysteriously swept away and the bashers are left to gloat. This image is the worst imaginable, imo.

USEI has me excited, to say the least. I'm watching progress right before my eyes and where there's some, there may be more. Looking at how much has already transpired in just five months, who can deny that Tony has been effective in numerous ways and USEI is infinitely enriched by developing opportunities?

I'll be venting more here than at the USEI board. I hope others will join me in this place for it can inspire a "friendly choir."

[zpaiss]

It is helpful to remember that the MMJ and RMJ industries are still very new while the importation of hemp has been going on for years. This past year it was estimated the the US imported about 500 million dollars in hemp products. It is only the growing and processing aspects of this industry that are just being let out of the gate so to speak. Companies like Dr. Bronners and Nutiva are two of the largest consumers of hemp in the US so it may be very worthwhile to place them on your watch list as well.

[jugs]

Well, it appears that Washington D.C. has been able to produce the required number of signatures. It's been announced that a MJ ballot item will be introduced in November. I have to laugh at the particulars, though. Leave it to the politicos to complicate things and force people to play the game, so to speak.

You decide:

[hopeful6]

Hi Zev: You always seem to bring valid and useful tidbits to the surface for the people who seriously follow you. I being one of those people. Your expertise in the hemp and mj industry is daunting. Most of us(LONGS) have underdeveloped minds, when it comes to knowing and understanding this new and exciting industry.
I have read and read, but still feel naive to all the uses and benefits of the products resulting from mj and hemp. I do believe that the feeling I am getting is almost like a new industrial revolution in the medical field, resulting from the projected benefits forthcoming. With that said, I thank you for your expertise on any matter to improve our minds in this industry. GLTU!!! GO U$$$$EI>

[zpaiss]

The vast majority of the companies are not public entities. - Zev

[jugs]

Has a list been compiled that you can refer us to or is it too early in the game as I suspect?

Thanks!

[zpaiss]

Howdy Folks - One area to watch closely is the development of high CBD strains. What is very interesting is that it is being looked at from both MMJ and the hemp side. Strains like Charlotte's Web are marijuana that is being selectively bred to lower the THC and boost the CBD's. Industrial hemp, which starts off with low TCH (by definition) and higher CBD are being looked at by lots of people to see how it can be used medicinally. Bottom line, keep a close look at any company working the CBD angle.

My 2 cents ... good night everyone.

[jugs]

This is a pretty good read, imo. The focus is hemp which, as Zev believes, likely has a terrific future in the US once we get past some of the current legal issues. My take-away has to do with the incredibly high cost of entering the hemp business. Wouldn't it be something to find the US Dept of Aggy chipping in down the road apiece--with favorable tax incentives, low cost loans and guarantees and no-to-low cost insurances? And why not include futures-based sales of product?

First, though, we need to push our politicos so that this industry can really take off as an industry of the people for the people.

Looks like most companies in MJ market had a bad day. USEI and ERBB on the other hand did quite well.

USEI had the biggest move of 48%
BRBB increased by 20%

Another company appears to be expanding its CBD products to pets... :)

SK3 GROUP INC SKTO 42.86%

USEI and ERBB making big moves today on NEWS!

[jugs]

This new board of ours has not yet peered beneath the surface of any particular stock in the MJ arena thus far. It's not a criticism, merely an acknowledgement of fact. I'm wondering if we're not a tad gun-shy for we know there will be gate-crashers attempting to weaken our unity? I'm ready to defend our home-advantage, come what may. What I'd like to do, then, is explore a few companies and hopefully we can sift through things, exploring for embedded value.

Here are four companies, each claiming to represent value to its investors:

1. QASP
2. FDMF
3. ERBB
4. USEI

For starters, it might be useful for those familiar with one or more of the above to comment on the overall investment-worthiness he/she sees. These four picks have been quite volatile much of this year-to-date. I'll say no more at this time as I really want to hear what YOU have to say. At the same time, I believe I know what each of these firms has to offer or not.

If we can reach a consensus of some sort on one or more of the above, it could lead to smarter investing. We've all been burnt before, and stand to be greatly enriched if we can sharpen our stock-picking skills together. I see no reason for people to suffer financial disasters if we can help spot them in time.

Thanks in advance for your input as I believe this is one way for us to share our experiences and investment style profitably.

[hopeful6]

I thank you for your candid comments ,as they have great meaning to me,especially coming from you!!! I am looking forward to adding to this board's discussions with great exuberance. Seeing we have moved on from the past negative manipulation excites me. I was starting to lose patience with some of the posters.
A new beginning for all here and a new beginning for the stock USEI and other MJ stocks! GLTU!

[jugs]

You distinguish this board as fluidly as any of us here as I've personally told you numerous times in the past. You are one of the straightest shooters I've seen in my many years of stock market association.

Attitude is really everything for we go nowhere without it. We've all seen what happens when bad attitude is unleashed, explaining why we are moving over to this board. Your steady hand and insightful eye are exactly what is needed here right now. As we identify true givers and acknowledge them unconditionally, we yield the right of way to others in the name of wholesome spirit and open acceptance. This is what brings on that sought-after flow of new ideas, opinions and these, in turn, promote a creative forum such as we all want. Those who would decry our call for decency and freedom from those with power and control issues are anathema. They are also slanderous and ugly in style.

So, I humbly thank you for those kind words. And now that I'm able to communicate via computer once again, I feel like I'm back ion the saddle once again with my playmates.

By the way, folks---the IHUB app for Droid Smartphone use is just about useless. Messages aren't numbered and it can take a half hour for a single-phrase response to transmit. Extremely frustrating.

[hopeful6]

Congratulations to you Jugs and also to Zev for being associated with this board. You two bring credibility and respect to this new entity. I am sure that with "Cont" and Lee this board will be a great informative sounding board. GLTA!!!

[jugs]

Congrats to both of us! I just became your first "follower." You delve into news with a "thinking eye." By that I mean that you weigh things both surface and beneath, in order to ply value from within and bring it out in meaningful ways. That has strong appeal for me and I want to be sure you see how you enrich our board.

And congratulations to me as this is the first time I've gotten to be the first to honor a fellow poster.

There is much more excitement to come our way, I'm sure.

[Holdem2020]

An important quote from today’s news:
"Having a California grow facility focused on CBD specific strains is very timely for us," says Anthony Miller. "USEI is actively selling CBD products in the Seattle area and it is becoming a significant source of revenue.
Also liked this one:
Patients have come into our stores with a wide range of ailments and they have purchase our CBD (Cannabidiol) products. Patients with ailments of cancer, epilepsy, chronic pain and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder PTSD have sought out our stores, and purchased our meds with positive results. This is the most rewarding side of our business… because we are truly helping people."

USEI is looking fantastic! Got some great news out of them today.

"CONT" I would describe this as a breath of FRESH air. The previous board was obviously dominated by negativism and it was relentless. I have sympathy for a few of our fellow longs who were outnumbered by people who had their agenda in mind and not the boards best interests. I am here to promote MJ in general as per the description and purpose of this board. Congratulations for being innovative and focused on this ever expanding industry.GLTA

[zpaiss]

Friends,

Like any new industry the beginning is the most chaotic. There are lots and lots of teeny-tiny MJ Businesses. Most will either fail or be bought up by other more successful businesses.

I believe little guys at this early stage do have a fighting. Some are run quite well and have more than average foresight. Many have a unique angle or exceptionally good people. The issues are often the same as any other industry.

IMHO Big Pharma is watching what is happening very carefully. If I were them I would let the small companies to my R&D for me and see what we learn. As soon as there is more stability I suspect big pharma and big agra will get involved. They always seem to do that.

My thoughts only ...

[jugs]

Agreed. Stoners hanging out at Walgreens & Starbucks? Maybe for coffee but more would be grounds for being roasted by public opinion.

Aren't puns funs?

[continuity]

I don't think the big boys would touch MJ stocks right now. I do think that all these partnerships with the small companies are an attempt to strengthen the movement.... ;)

[soadjt]

A new brand development division will be started by IDGC as the products are packaged for sale and IDGC will invoice all sales for GREEN RUSH(TM) Products in the marketplace.

IDGC shall have access to, and have an unrestricted right to use otherwise confidential information of this established Medical Marijuana grower in Vancouver BC, Canada, consisting of intellectual property rights, related to but not limited to the growing of marijuana in a highly efficacious manner.

[jugs]

Zev,

Here's a challenging one for you!

How would you characterize growth opportunities in the MJ arena when focusing solely on tiny companies just now entering the business? I know some of us are meaningfully invested in tiny startups and this begs the question:

Are we nuts to think our little guys have a fighting

chance? Continuity broached the subject earlier in bringing up the potential for big pharma crowding the scene. I'd like to think profitable deals can be made but an awful lot of Walmarts stand in the wake of deceased mom & pop groceries.

Your thoughts?

[continuity]

anybody having a good day in the MJ market?

[zpaiss]

Holdem,

Until the State of Kentucky prevailed all hemp seeds entering the US have been sterilized and will not sprout. That is the challenge of getting viable seeds for this year's Colorado growing season. However that is close to changing and the ability to import seeds might become a non-issue in the next few months. If that is the case I would watch any of the large seed companies start importing them just prior to the 2015 growing season at the end of this winter.

Zev

[zpaiss]

I am not familiar with any overt attempts to stifle MMJ. What I do know is that there is a huge amount of interest in the nutraceutical sector to develop health related products using this much faster market path. Check out Cannibus Therapy Corp OTCQB: CTCO to see what I am talking about.

Zev

[zpaiss]

Len,

The potential of hemp is so much larger than that of MMJ or RMJ investors need to understand what it is all about. Right now there are still a very small number of companies involved but that will be changing dramatically over the coming years. Stay tuned!

Zev

[TheU]

Great analysis Jugs thanks!
Maybe just maybe if it hits 0001 I'll look at it again.
That's if it gets cleared

[continuity]

I don't think so Holdem, they might be radiated or deshelled. I am pretty sure that makes them unusable. Besides, hemp is pretty useless when it comes to recreational use.

Hello, I have question about Hemp seeds. With supply low would it be possible to use seeds that are being sold as food presently. I noticed organic seems to be the way to go. http://www.thedailychronic.net/2014/35754/kentucky-hemp-crop-thriving-without-fertilizer-or-pesticide/

Hey zev. Great to have you here... Wondering if you might expand on the pharmaceuticals. Do you know anything about the effort they are expending to put a halt to the MJ legalization effort?

Zev,

It is a great honor to have you aboard. Your efforts in support of the expansion of hemp application is readily apparent to all who inhabit this arena with us. May you enrich this community with your blessing!

Hello - I just returned from the Denver County Fair this weekend and was able to talk to a lot of folks in the "Pot Pavilion" where about 25 businesses in the MMJ and RMJ business had a booth. Lots going on in the Colorado cannabis space. Most of these are smaller companies but they were very happy to talk about things. I look forward to being somewhat of a conduit to the on the ground experience of these new businesses. - Zev
