Someone with much more medical OTC experience would've been a better fit in my opinion. But this guy was a pro baseball player.
I think this guy would have a strong foot in the door when discussing this as pain relief with NO side effects. As a baseball player, I'm sure he will quickly realize that resolving a knee or ankle sprain overnight would be a miracle. All pro athletes are dealing with those types of injuries on a pretty regular basis.
Then it should immediately be discussed with NHL, NFL, NBA, pro soccer. Then to the colleges, high schools and middle schools.
With the right type of marketing at the practice fields, this could easily become a household staple and a very well known alternative to OTC pills - WITH NO SIDE EFFECTS!!!
Then when households realize this also works for headaches, menstrual pains, open wounds heal faster when using this and it helps reduce the pain significantly as you're healing.
How could this NOT take off immediately? The product really does work the well.
What is everyone thinking about the fins? After the bell or during the day.
Is today or Monday the 5 day extension due date?
The days are absolutely numbered at this point. Finally a real lawsuit with TEETH, that will challenge the constitutional ruling of cannabis being on the schedule I list of the CSA.
In my opinion, this has been brewing for years and I don't think the federal government has any hope of maintaining this as a schedule I drug. In addition, the NFL is now starting to realize what an amazing asset this would be instead of just smelling salts for concussions.
ABOUT TIME!!!

Markiff - do you think they will single out CBD (as it's already legal according to the ninth circuit court ruling back in 2003, because of that ruling; IF IT IS MADE FROM SEED AND/STALK) making CBD excluded from the CSA?
Will they include both HEMP & CANNABIS?
They have intentionally made this so complicated, the bottom line is - LEGALIZATION is the first step to reducing the costs of pharmaceuticals, which will be a HUGE step in making our healthcare system more affordable (TRUMP NEED'S TO LOOK AT THIS FROM THIS PERSPECTIVE). It's a simple game of connect the dots at this point, only problem is, the government knows how much safer this really is compared to the real Schedule I Drugs.
A new bill in the Senate introduced by senator Cory Booker would not just end the federal prohibition of marijuana, but encourage states to legalize pot as well.
The bill, proposed by Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) on Tuesday, would remove marijuana from the federal scheduling system, which is the basis for its federal criminalization. That isn’t new in the Senate; Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), for one, also put forward a bill that would deschedule marijuana back in 2015.

Markiff - I found this after reading your post (thanks again for posting your link).
I find this very interesting - FDA is asking for consumer feedback regarding a substance that they say is illegal. According to the ninth circuit court decision, if it comes from seed and stalk its legal...
http://www.cannatech.news/2017/08/15/report-fda-asks-consumers-to-provide-cbd-feedback/
Now they want all the people using these products to give feedback? Wouldn't that be the equivalent to finding something that works great, even though it may be illegal, so they can use it against you? Not a lot of thought out into this at the FDA IMHO.
We all know how well this product works, why can't they say something like this information will jot be used against you, something more reassuring ???
Post link
Almost 15 minutes and volume less than 300K? After another email Update that everybody here has seen?
Where are the million share hogs looking to acquire more .008's. Go get 'em boys
I'll call BS when I see it, and just by the lack of buying tells me that whether you want to admit it or not, most of us are hoping this doesn't somehow turn into another over pumped play.
Remember AEGY a couple years back...
After this mornings email - seems like another dud to me.
Not good when making a second trip below the 50 SMA within a week.
Fingers crossed, I hope he really does drop the Q2 before the yield sign pops up again.
I know better. Anybody that thinks that cannabis doesn't help PTSD is simply out of touch with REALITY!!!
I would never stoop that low too even read such nonsense as I know better, no matter what anybody wants to report.
I know what I know, and don't give any credence to anything otherwise.
Even just using CBD alone will help, but ultimately a strain that has both the THC AND CBD would work best in my opinion.
FYI - anybody that still gets paranoid when smoking can alleviate that symptom by simply dosing a few drops of CBD rich hemp oil.
The lack of CBD in a strain is what most commonly the reason for people getting paranoid after they smoke.
That's the only thing that kept most of us here. THE ONLY THING FOR ME.
And - the fact that I was way upside down, he had me trapped and I had to gut it out.
That reason is no longer enough for me to hold on why this spirals down because he's playing games.
At this point - I don't know if he really will drop Q2.
I will not allow Marco to trap me here again.
I was trying to be sarcastic! Oops
I disagree with that last point. It may not be helpful for everyone, but YES IT SURE DOES help deal with PTSD.
Anyone who thinks otherwise has a hidden agenda in my opinion. It's just that obvious to me anyway...
Is NHS still alive in UK? Or is it dead too.
You must not have taken into account the tons of money that will be falling out of the sky because of the medical facilities they bought.
And lean, and KC, and diner...
Don't forget - they're profitable now. No need for him to PROOVE IT, just take him for his word. After all, you know he really is the hardest working SEE E O on the OTC.
Market isn't reacting favorably to Marcos last minute delay, or the POSSIBILITY of a merger with a much bigger company with much deeper pockets.
How far will it sell off? When will he learn? People can also evolve when watching the same pattern over and over again.
Thoughtless strategy IMO.
Sell off seems to be gaining momentum.
Sometimes the best thing to do is step aside. Andy has done an amazing job getting it this far (I do believe it could have happened much sooner with a different CEO at the helm).
But it seems to me there is no master plan, we have definitely lost steam from the FDA 2/3/17 approval.
There would be no better time than now to step aside and at least give it a chance to be the game changer we all know that it is. Still can't understand if we're more interested in making money, cause the ego thing is starting to get in the way, slowing us down considerably.
Can't wait to see the numbers later today.
I still can't believe that we haven't received the FDA clearance for muscle/back? How much longer can the FDA drag this out.
Trump is acknowledging the opioid crisis more seriously, but I don't think it will play out in our favor. Meanwhile sports trams all over the world should have been getting educated on this new device that works and has NO SIDE EFFECTS. That's the huge part- it works and there is NO side effects!
That's a BIG "IF"...
If he doesn't file the Q2 on time, that should be the first indicator something's probably not right. It would also make new shareholders wonder why he would hold that conference call over a week ago, if he knew he wasn't gonna have fins on time.
Watching this unfold VERY CAREFULLY with fingers crossed.
So hoping that this merger happens will replace the hopes of this flying higher after they release Q2? After they were a shoe-in for the AR dispensary and LSU license? (I think they're both still making final decisions)
After they have made so much more money with the medical centers?
This entire board is simply made for making excuses for the hardest working CEO in the OTC. I'm sticking in here waiting for the SHOW ME part, because there have been so many PR's over he past 45 days and we're still trying to maintain a stinking penny?
At the very least, I'll have this board to review for some good laughs if this doesn't happen. And the way this is shaping up, I'm starting to doubt it. I just wish he could finally MAN UP and tell the true story of what happened for 3 years.
Is it only me, does anybody else here feel like this is beginning to smell? How many more FLUFF PR's do we need to understand that the MARKET simply does NOT TRUST this guy. How much longer can he keep partners interested in this before he's held accountable for his past 3 years?
Very frustrating AGAIN!
Market is super critical (rightfully so) of this CEO's recent track record. A lot of this need to be explained to try to convert past long investors who've been trapped and aren't big fans (like me) of his style of doing business.
Seems obvious to me at this point...
The market knows best!!!
JMHO
Kinda odd that it didn't open with crazy volume on this news? Still hasn't reached 2.5M in over 15 minutes. Hopefully volume picks up throughout the day...
I think the market is waiting for the details in the Q2. I only hope he's going to release it tomorrow. If he asks for 5 day extension, this will in my opinion prove that the conference call over a week ago was a non event!
I agree there will be plenty of eyes watching this.
I don't have the patience to debate this online. My point is extremely easy to understand. I simply DO NOT BELIEVE what they say. Kinda like how we all learned much later that big tobacco was loading them with more chemicals.
If it was just a normal seed, it would simply be pure. Without having to wonder what they're really doing behind the scenes.
I'm no longer that naive. I know better.
You should do some real research on this, Google greenhouse seed company. They know better than most. Big breeder.
Thanks for your input but I've had my strong opinion on this matter for a long time. Don't even bother trying.
I spoke to Paul at e&e a couple months back and asked him who owned the intellectual property (patents). Someone here was saying hat Kelly own them. WRONG!
BIEL owns the rights to the intellectual property.
I agree walker. I think the company has fallen into a coma. Nothing new.
Meanwhile, i'll bet several other companies have recognized the effectiveness and the genius of this miniaturized device. It can be worn under your clothing all day long - with jo side effects.
If he hasn't figured out a way to to raise cash and get this to market, you can watch the big boys leap frog him within a couple years if not sooner.
I really thought that once the FDA APPROVAL happened back in FEB, he had the next move already planned.
Frustrated but still holding.
No effect to increase volume - nobody new wants to jump in yet.
Everybody continues to praise Marco for his honesty in the conference call. I'm still scratching my head trying to understand? Why was the topic over the last three years IGNORED? Why couldn't he give a detailed account of what happened and why he had to take the path he chose?
Was that the honesty everyone continues to praise him for?
Im excited too about this taking off, but if it takes off without clearing any of that up, we've only empowered him and I'd expect the stock to immediately drop again after it pops.
As for the BS PR this morning, WOW what a positive effect it had - NOT.
In this community, NOBODY is interested In a Monsanto type GMO Seed. We'd rather leave it untouched. Everybody here is kidding themselves if they think this will have a positive effect on the stock or the industry going forward.
The real movement wants to keep it natural. ORGANIC natural seeds that have been bred up - the old fashioned way is the way this movement wants it. The movement recognizes both natural HEMP and CANNABIS is a type of HEALTH FOOD. That's why they love to juice with the leaves of these plants grown organically on the west coast. Do you really want to juice with leaves from a genetically modified seed? GET REAL!!! And will we ever really know what they've done to it? I wouldn't ever give consideration to products made from this GMO seeds. Basically the same reason nobody would purchase cannabis if it was grown by BIG TOBACCO. Remember how that played out - they said they never added anything to the cigs, them decades later it's revealed they were adding quit a bit of chemicals to Cigs.
With all that said, IMO, he is still absolutely CLUELESS with the direction of the HEMP/CANNABIS movement. (Trying to be polite)
~ Just my 2 cents ~
Oops, that was meant for Swine
HORUS, FYI - CBD also promotes bone growth. It's very healthy for dogs cats and horses too. It helps keep the immune system running on all 8 cylinders...
I Hope he makes a speedy recovery!
Not a chance... keep dreamin'.
Honesty is the only way this things goes, but if he wants to keep playing investors as fools, the market will continue to do what it does, and this will continue to slowly decline.
They also need to hire a PR SPOX, to keep Marco from further embarrassing the company with his unique but very embarrassing public speaking skills... "ah"
The fluff stuff will not work, look at how many useless fluff PR's, and it continues to spiral downward.
Hoping he'll start a more Honest approach with all the good things he needs to prove... show don't tell me is the new slogan investors want to see.
It seems to me that this company is TOO MUCH TIME. I haven't seen enough grass roots efforts to even hope for a powerful move upward.
Kinda feels like they let some leaked air out and I don't feel any type of a sense of urgency. I say it that way because I'd bet there at least a half dozen (if not more) big companies that now see the light with this technology.
If they keep moving in at this pace with this cutting edge technology, I'll bet a big company gets there's to market on the heels of ours, if they don't get there's to market before us.
Today's companies are sitting on tons of money, and when they see an opportunity like this, THEY'LL POUNCE ON IT. Maybe leaving management to regret not moving much more aggressively in searching for a BIG TIME MEDICAL CEO.
Just my 2 cents...
I hope Q2 numbers are at least heading in the right direction.
REALITY IS SETTING IN. Until we get much more clarification of the BS he attempted to spin or not even address on the conference call that featured a real life doctor who said "AH" more than anything else.
After 3 years being trapped and blatantly being disrespectful to shareholders who were beyond frustrated, a real conference call after the fins are released and allow the investors to ask question LIVE - in real time after they tell us about all the great news, allowing us to COMPLETELY understand what happened over the past 3 years. He dig himself into this position all by himself, and HONESTY IS THE ONLY WAY - if the market feels they understand what happened during that stretch, in a connect the dot SHOW & TELL presentation - this thing could be a ROCKET SHIP.
EXCEPT NOTHING ELSE!
Sorry for the delay answering, I maxed my posts for the day yesterday.
To answer your question - NO.
There was nothing of substance in my opinion and there was also nothing pressing that had to get out ASAP!
I think he should have waited until the fins were released to have that conference call.
I guess I'm really that naive. I was SO FRUSTRATED a half hour just before the conference call went live looking for the fins... BUT THERE WEREN'T ANY. Then to listen to a Doctor speak as poorly as he did (I was embarrassed for him), with nothing of substance to report made my RADAR start churning (how many times did he say "ah" during he call).
Moran should take a public speaking course at LSU if he wants to continue as the voice for the company going forward, and maybe a refresher course on business etiquette might help as well. The call was rushed for NO real reason at all. Can't help to say it, but this really does have BUSH LEAGUE written all over it. I hope the lack of professionalism will improve moving forward because this is far from professional. And to all the longs who have issue with all this, if you don't see this point of view, you're seriously in denial at this point as he has only done the bare bones minimum - SHOW ME, don't tell me.
I'm waiting to see the real dog and pony show, a conference call with real substance AFTER the fins are released. Then We'll all be able to follow the story he can tell and clear up any misunderstandings, AND, we may be able to even ask a few questions. This way we can all connect the dots and see the path he's paving.
This stock is under my microscope and will never get any leeway from me anyway as his past track record needs much improvement. Until he's more forthcoming I no longer see the PIE IN THE SKY DREAMS he keeps talking about. HONESTY & INTEGRITY speak volumes at this point - Except nothing less!!!
With all due respect doctor - I HOPE YOU CAN FATHOM MY VIEW AS AN INVESTOR WHO HAS BEEN TRAPPED FOR THREE YEARS. This is how it sounds.
I cannot disagree. Very used car salesman like. Not feeling as good these days about this. I hope this improves next week.
And they wouldn't have to dig far. Starting with your sticky would catch them up really quick.
I see his point and feel the same way.
Marco dug himself into this and only honesty will get him out.
Because of the stupid call, he's dug himself even deeper.
Marco if your read this board, I hope you realize that you created
IMO - you're still making excuses for a guy who has been far from honest for three years.
If you believe in him so much - this is the break in price and you can get your cheapies.
Wrong conversation - this is REAL!!
No excuses.
Remember they are supposedly profitable?
But with your approach or way of thinking, your in luck, you'll be able to Scoop as much of this cheap shares you can handle, it'll be free falling this entire week as result of an extremely poor conf call with NO honesty.
VERY BAD!
I tend to agree. But again, I thought that the reason they RUSHED the conf call was for a SHOW AND TELL event.
I never even considered they wouldn't release the fins. That speaks volumes to your point, and that's why the market is so overwhelmingly disappointed yet again!!!!
That would be huge. If they wait until the last day, everybody's is gonna wonder why did they wait so long. If the file for 5 day extension, everybody's gonna be extremely in edge as we all thought this conf call was going to be like - SHOW AND TELL!
Crossing my fingers
I appreciate your DD about this company. How you get find info is mind boggling?
8 days of more pain in the price.
That's not fair because the management can't think like a legitimate business should think.
Another negative checkmark on the company, clearly shows why a PR staff os needed. If they really are profitable.
