Do we dump everything immediately after the spinoff, or do we watch while Riss and KK destroy whatever the value there might be . . .
Spinoff is done. #Fortune now is a stand-alone entity separate from Mesa. Now that I have done a #spinoff I can give some pointers to our friends at $PVSP

Oldrogue.
Time for a Zen update!! PVSP?????
Sure Would Be Nice To Hear Something this Week...4/20 is right Around the corner....
Where is the ZEN???
$PVSP
It’s just an opinion!! I don’t see it as a big deal with/for Zen unless a larger issue wants to merge with them.
Experienced public Co management from a sales/marketing background.
Zen.
DS you have been crowing for years about how much money Riss has made you. Tell him to get busy already.
Yes, and with enough shares out to choke a horse.
Yeah I hear ya!
Pot tickers across the board are giddy with anticipation...all but this one...go figure...
Paul Riss effect?
Is there anything positive about PVSP Zen that you can talk about??
What would you do to turn this around??
I disagree DSherman!! I think it CAN surpass the 60% threshold. IMO!! The combination of recreational marijuana and abortion rights on the ballot will // maybe have a huge turnout!! Just my thoughts 🤔🤔🤔
Additionally, it will be hard to pass in Fla imo. We shall see!!!
Zen
Lolololol , they hardly have any biz in new places they did try. However, think of all the shares they would need to sell once they start playing in Florida!!!!
Zen
Does ArtiZen have any business in Florida?? Inquiring minds want to know!!! 😁😁😁😁😁
It’s as it has always been, one guess as good as another. But the good news to keep an idiot happy is Germany will have legal weed!!
Zen
AND ANOTHER IRRELEVANT POST!!! Talk about the cut and paste irrelevant idiot.
Zen
Lolololol, only an idiot would post about Germany approving weed as though it is relevant to pvsp. How long has it been R????
Zen
Not at all, but I think it was a smart move putting it in the letter.
Zen
Interesting GREEN morning. Letter is a good sign for us. $PVSP
Attorney letter dated 3-29-24...Thanks for the kickback...I don't think I've seen that statement in an attorney letter before so I had to ask...even if it was stupid!

Florida Supreme Court approves ballot measure to legalize recreational marijuana
If the provision gets 60 percent in November, it will legalize recreational marijuana in the country’s third-most populous state.

TALLAHASSEE, Florida — The Florida Supreme Court will not block a ballot initiative that seeks to legalize recreational marijuana use for adults in this year’s general election, giving a major boost to the effort to open up pot use in the third-most populous state in the country.
With the green light from Florida’s conservative-leaning high court and more than 1 million signed and certified voter petitions in hand, Florida voters will have a chance to weigh in on an issue the state’s Republican-led Legislature has rejected for years.
The decision was in response to a request made by Florida Republican Attorney General Ashley Moody to reject the ballot language, arguing the measure fails to remind voters about a federal ban on marijuana.
Florida’s Supreme Court in a 5-2 ruling determined that the ballot language proposed by the Smart & Safe Florida committee to go before voters in November’s election fit the state’s single-subject rule for ballot initiatives.
Justice Jamie Grosshans wrote in the majority opinion that the ballot language was not too confusing for voters, and rejected an argument that the proposed amendment would require the Legislature to create new licenses to sell pot beyond the companies currently allowed to sell medical marijuana.
“We do not believe the summary would confuse a voter into thinking that the Legislature is required to authorize additional licenses,” the opinion states, later adding, “It clearly states that the amendment legalizes adult personal possession and use of marijuana as a matter of Florida law.”
Smart & Safe Florida’s campaign was funded by more than $39 million from Trulieve, which is the largest medical marijuana company in Florida. The proposed amendment, if approved by 60 percent of voters in November, would allow Trulieve and the 24 other companies licensed by the state to sell and grow pot for medical use to begin selling to anyone over the age of 21.
“We are thankful that the Court has correctly ruled the ballot initiative and summary language meets the standards for single subject and clarity. We look forward to supporting this campaign as it heads to the ballot this Fall,” Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers wrote in a statement, later adding that a coalition of companies has formed to aid in the campaign to November.
Trulieve operates 131 of the 618 medical marijuana dispensaries in Florida, and Moody used the Tallahassee-based company’s market position to argue that the ballot language was not written within the best interest of voters.
Lawyers from Moody’s office argued in briefs — filed before the court heard oral arguments in November — that the company was footing the bill for the initiative so it could lure consumers to willfully break federal law in the name of profit.
The justices all but dismissed Moody’s arguments during oral arguments. The same court had previously rejected two legalization initiatives from recent election years, handing down decisions that identified several mistakes. Lawyers for Smart & Safe Florida argued that the proposed language sought to address the mistakes that were cited by the court in the previous decisions, and Moody’s lawyers argued that the court should reconsider parts of the previous decisions.
In Monday’s opinion Grosshans wrote the amendment does not violate the single subject rule by impacting the state’s medical pot industry.
“Selling and possessing marijuana appear, for better or worse, directly connected, and we cannot say that an amendment addressing both components violates the single-subject requirement,” the opinion states.
Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2019 was hailed a champion by medical marijuana businesses and patients just weeks after he first took office, after he called on the state Legislature to repeal a ban on the sale of smokable marijuana known as flower.
DeSantis has since signed legislation that tightened the state’s controls on medical marijuana marketing to further prevent advertising that attracts children and implied that products were for recreational use. And his annual state budget recommendations to the Legislature have included millions in funding to expand testing, safety and enforcement efforts at the Office of Medical Marijuana Use.
DeSantis has, however, called recreational pot use a “real problem,” even lamenting the plant’s “stench.” While campaigning for president last year, DeSantis told reporters that marijuana has become more potent over the past two decades and warned that it could be laced with fentanyl.
“I think it’s a real, real problem, and I think it’s a lot different than stuff that people were using 30 or 40 years ago,” DeSantis said. “And I think when kids get on that, I think it causes a lot of problems.”
Florida already has the largest medical marijuana program in the country, with more than 871,000 patients registered with the state Department of Health.
More than 71 percent of voters legalized pot for medical use in 2016 after a successful ballot initiative backed heavily by high-profile Orlando lawyer and self-proclaimed “Pot Daddy” John Morgan, who contributed close to $7 million in cash.
LOL the Village Idiot speaks again, LOL
Dumbest post from you ever, it is a conspiracy, run for the hills, bla, bla, bla.
Not sure where you found this or if it’s a good investment for him. What it does mean to me is pvsp knew back then that Zen would not be spinning off as they earlier claimed to the market.
Mr. D!...
Am I to understand this "warrant" came with this lawyer's employment? This guy was here before German Burtscher took over PVSP...Now he has to make up his mind within 7 months? You consider this being mentioned a "plus" or just fluff for his letter to shareholders? TIA...
"I am the owner of a warrant dated March 3,
2021 conferring the right to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of the Issuer’s stock up to the
close of business on November 30, 2024 with an exercise price of $0.0025 per share."
Just my guess, we will not see audited FY 2023 fins until around late April to mid May. We will not see a Artizen Spin off until late Sept to mid Oct this year. Could very well be spring of 2025. Hopefully this plan doesn't "go up in smoke" pun intended.
Irrelevant to pvsp/zen!!
If you have not figured it out yet, Zen has no experienced management capable of taking them to the next level. And if anyone disagrees , please explain the FLAT GROWTH OVER THREE YEARS!!! Great, they have cut expenses which looks good for a small private Co doing $15mm/yr. This my friends is what is holding the spinoff from occurring, at this point it will be a failed attempt. This is evident re the sake of pvsp shares re Zen shares to date. Hopefully, this may change.
Pole Rust....I'm dying laughing....yes I remember well the Congratulations messages and it seemed like the price went down every time he did that....
Congressional Lawmakers Push Attorney General To Issue ‘Overdue’ Marijuana Guidance, Saying Ongoing ‘Legal Limbo’ Is “Unacceptable’
Published on March 27, 2024By Kyle Jaeger
It is “unacceptable” that the Department of Justice has yet to reissue federal marijuana enforcement guidance to discourage interference in state cannabis programs, leaving Americans in a “legal limbo” despite promises to update the policy, two Democratic congressional lawmakers said in a new letter to the attorney general.
Writing to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday, Congressional Cannabis Caucus co-chairs Reps. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and Barbara Lee (D-CA) said the department should “correct this oversight and reissue a memo making clear DOJ’s limited resources will not be spent prosecuting those acting in accordance with state or Tribal law.”
It’s been over six years since then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinded the previous Obama-era Cole and Wilkinson memos that generally directed prosecutors not to interfere with state and tribal marijuana laws, respectively. And making matters “especially concerning,” it’s been over a year since Garland signaled that updated guidance was forthcoming, they said.
CDC says teen pot use declined in Washington after legalization
“While we appreciate the historic steps the Biden-Harris Administration has taken to pardon federal simple possession marijuana offenses and begin the formal review of marijuana’s schedule under the Controlled Substances Act, it is unacceptable that more than half of Americans living in jurisdictions with legal marijuana markets are left in limbo without public guidance to prevent unjust prosecution of those complying with their state’s or Tribe’s regulations,” the lawmakers wrote.
“Law enforcement, state regulators, small businesses, patients, and everyday Americans are caught in the ambiguity of the federal-state gap, made worse by the delay in reissuing the Cole and Wilkinson Memoranda protections,” they said.
Blumenauer and Lee also noted that, for years, they’ve “urged DOJ to act on this commonsense protection,” and they’ve been “consistently disappointed in meetings with agency leadership and DOJ prosecutors on existing policies.”
“As congressional allies in the work to undue the harms of the misguided war on drugs, we request answers on the delays in reissuing these protections:
Given President Biden and Vice President Harris’ public position that no one should be incarcerated for marijuana possession, what steps is DOJ taking to ensure state- or Tribe-legal actions are not prosecuted?
What is the DOJ’s specific timeline for reissuing the Cole and Wilkinson Memoranda protections?”
“While Congress works to address the impacts of the federal-state gap on cannabis policy, the urgency of issuing public guidance addressing federal prosecution of those who comply with state and Tribe cannabis laws should inform DOJ’s actions,” the letter concludes. “We look forward to your response and to the long overdue reissuing of these critical, fiscally responsible, and common-sense protections.”
When Garland was asked about the issue during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing last March, he said that it was “fair to expect” that the updated marijuana policy would be “very close to what was done in the Cole Memorandum.”
At an earlier hearing in June 2022, the attorney general said the Justice Department was still “examining a wide range of issues that relate to marijuana and its production, sale and use, and we intend to address these issues in the days ahead.”
While there’s still no formal guidance in place, the federal policy of non-interference in state cannabis programs has generally persisted over the recent administrations. But advocates want to see the memo reissued nonetheless for added protections.
In the meantime, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is working to complete its review into cannabis scheduling after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recommended moving it from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
DEA Officials Discuss Marijuana Scheduling Timeline, Seeking To ‘Correct Misperceptions’ That Decisions Are Made In A ‘Shroud Of Secrecy’
Published on March 28, 2024
By Kyle Jaeger
A Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) official says the agency wants to “correct misperceptions” that its drug scheduling review process is done in a “shroud of secrecy” as it works to reach a final decision on possibly reclassifying marijuana. He also said it sometimes takes up to six months for DEA to complete its analysis of health officials’ recommendations—which is just about how long it has now been since the agency began its current cannabis assessment.
In the latest episode of the agency’s “Prevention Profiles: Take Five” series, DEA Senior Prevention Program Manager Rich Lucey spoke with DEA pharmacologist Buki Ebeigbe about the scheduling process and specifically how it relates to the ongoing cannabis review—marking the first time that officials with the agency have discussed its current analysis of marijuana’s Schedule I status publicly in any depth.
“I just think it’s important for people to—again, going back to correcting misperceptions and really the issue of transparency and, by us even doing this podcast, just to help people understand the process,” Lucey said. “We don’t want it to necessarily feel as if it’s behind this shroud of secrecy, which I think then lends itself to this idea that it’s a whole arbitrary process.”
Transparency has been a key concern for advocates and lawmakers, with DEA declining to say anything publicly beyond confirming that they’ve received the recommendation from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and are now carrying out their own review.
That process is “independent” of the HHS review, Lucey stressed.
That’s right,” Ebeigbe said. “It’s in its process. We’ve received [the HHS analysis], and we’re in the process of writing that recommendation” on cannabis scheduling to DEA Administrator Anne Milgram.
“Once that information is compiled and that document is written—that eight-factor document is written—it’s reviewed through our internal process,” she said, referring to the multi-step analysis the agency is completing on the effects of cannabis. “Ultimately, the administrator will make a decision on where to place it—whether to change it or whether to remove it or whatever.”
Lucey also commented on the complexity of drug scheduling reviews and what that means in terms of timing.
“Right now it’s a ‘wait and see.’ HHS has done their part, and now DEA is doing its part, which is that eight-factor analysis. And that can take anywhere from like three to six months sometimes,” he said. “I mean, it’s not like we’re going to be done in a week. It never happens that way.”
While Lucey was speaking generally about the drug scheduling review process, that timeline is notable. HHS delivered its Schedule III recommendation to DEA last August, meaning it’s been more than six months now that the drug agency has been conducting its own review. And there’s significant pressure to complete its work expeditiously.
Former governor launches Jesse Ventura Farms cannabis brand
Good time to jump in with both feet!!!

Former Minnesota Governor Jess Ventura laughed and noted that "Jimi Hendrix is looking down on Minnesota" during remarks at the state capitol as current Governor Tim Walz signed a bill legalizing cannabis as of Aug. 1.
Ventura, who started the process by lighting a spark when he was governor, also said he was glad to have lived long enough to witness this day.
Judy Griesedieck for MPR News
Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura is launching his own brand of cannabis edibles.
Ventura is partnering with Columbia Heights-based Retro Bakery, which is producing hemp-derived THC edibles under the Jesse Ventura Farms brand.
Ventura, a longtime advocate of legalizing marijuana, testified in favor of the adult-use cannabis bill at the Legislature and was with Gov. Tim Walz when he signed it last year.
Ventura has said the drug helped his wife Terry get her seizures under control and alluded to that in his product launch video.
“Cannabis saved my family’s life, and now it’s time for me to return to the cannabis world,” he said in the video.
Retro Bakery said the Ventura-branded edibles will be available for pre-order on Monday, with a launch party at the Hook & Ladder in Minneapolis on April 20.

Where is the ZEN???? $PVSP
I guess this is the time of year where management says....smoke em if you got em.....we are.....
Where is the Zen?? $PVSP
Be just a little pragmatic and logical, unless it’s west/west coast coast and certainly not Germany it is beyond Zen’s reach. What is pertinent is and what is not is not. The only thing that will save Zen as a public Co is growth which we are not seeing to date.
DSherman, It’s all about Artizen, PVSP isn’t going to move much with current media stories.
Artizen should and probably will be influenced by the Federal and State law changes. GLTA!
