Medical marijuana bill introduced in Idaho!
by Robert Capecchi
January 20, 2011
On Wednesday, January 19, Idaho State Representative Tom Trail introduced legislation that would protect seriously ill residents in his state from arrest and prosecution for using marijuana with their doctors’ recommendations. Rep. Trail, a Republican from Moscow, Idaho, recognized the compassionate need for a distinction between medical and non-medical use of marijuana and acted on it.
If passed, Idaho would become the 16th state, along with the District of Columbia, to distinguish between medical and non-medical marijuana use. Idaho is surrounded by medical marijuana states, sharing borders with Washington, Oregon, Nevada, and Montana. Additionally, Idaho borders Canada, a medical marijuana country.
Although the bill is solid, Rep. Trail has his work cut out for him. In a state as “red” as they get, dispelling myths and making sure the truth is heard can be difficult. However, the soft-spoken conservative from Moscow, Idaho seems to be an ideal champion for this issue.
If you live in Idaho and would like to be updated on Rep. Trail’s efforts, or for updates on marijuana legislation in any state, please sign up for MPP’s state specific e-mail alerts at www.mpp.org/subscribe.

Denver council debates how to handle marijuana grow facilities

Licensing of marijuana-grow facilities continues to vex Denver's City Council as the board remains divided over whether to allow existing facilities to operate in areas where the zoning has changed.
"This is going to continue to be the center of the debate," said Assistant City Attorney David Broadwell.
The city is wrestling with licensing requirements that must be in place by July 1, according to a state law passed last year that requires local governments to license dispensaries, grow facilities and manufacturing.
The new state law requires that dispensaries grow 70 percent of the product they sell, which last year spurred a rush to set up grow facilities.
In Denver, most began operating in warehouses in north Denver and along the South Platte River and Interstate 25 and Interstate 70.
About the same time, the city's zoning code changed, leaving many grow facilities that had obtained plant husbandry permits suddenly nonconforming.
A total of 51 of the 179 plant husbandry permits issued between Jan. 1, 2009, and July 1, 2010, are nonconforming, according to city records.
In the Five Points neighborhood — where at least one developer has been in vocal opposition to the facilities — 17 of the 21 facilities are nonconforming.
On Tuesday, a council committee will meet to discuss a draft bill that has divided the council between those who think grow facilities impede development and those who say the facilities ought to be governed like any other business.
Does the city grandfather in those facilities under the old zoning code or not?
"This is going to be a battle," said Councilman Charlie Brown. "The government has already given them a permit. I don't believe in zoning people out of business. This is one of our fastest growing businesses in Denver, whether you like it or not."
But Councilwoman Judy Montero doesn't think the facilities should be allowed to remain in the River North area, northeast of Coors Field, where developers hope to transform a blighted warehouse district into a walkable, trendy neighborhood.
"Now that the new zoning code has passed, many of the people don't want to continue as heavy industrial," she said. "What I am trying to do there is figure out how we can create a balance in all of that."

I'm no market expert..........I just makes common sense no? Sorry if you read me wrong. My previous post explains as well....
You have a great weekend as well Gomez. If your a football fan, you are going to love it !!!!!!!!
That's why I put it as gently as possible. I agree good things are coming but there's no way that the date will not be revised, and that misunderstanding could be turning off new investors here who do not understand the whole thing.
I'm the last one here to want to ruffle any feathers for you might know that I am one of CBIS's biggest fans..
But if the date doesn't change I could have sold all my shares last week, and still get the divy, and there will be absolutely no interest in these shares anymore....
I never thought i would do it. I like to hear all sides, but you are officially my first IGNORE. Book it.
I do not want to burst anyone's bubble here, but I have been reading these posts and trying to keep quiet. I also try to contribute positive info when I find it. But it's getting ludicrous already.
THERE IS NO WAY THAT THE EX-DATE FOR THE PROPOSED DIVIDEND IS DECEMBER 31 2010. CBIS only has a PRE 14C on file, with a PROPOSED DATE.
That date has already come and past, and no dividend was issued. Until the SEC and FINRA grant action to the proposal, then the date is just a proposed date.
When they get the blessing, and they will, there will be a DEFINITIVE 14C filing, and all the current shareholders will receive a proxy letter from CBIS stating the share restructuring, and the new ex-date for dividends, if any.
Some of you have claimed to be getting info from the company on this deal. Whether you are or you are not, its wrong, dead wrong.
How on Gods green earth are you predicting a rise in PPS if the ex-date is a month ago? Do you think folks are going to run out and snap up shares because they missed the boat already. NO!!!!
Now I cannot predict when or if it will come, but if there's a dividend announced you can bet your last nickel that there will be time for a flood of new investors to get in on it. That is how the PPS will rise, and at this point it's all I am hoping for, unless, some bombshell gets dropped in with the yearly report.
I still hold quite a few shares here, so I'm not trying to beat anyone up with this, but someone's got to start telling the truth, and DEC 31 IS LONG GONE............
Just keep watching for any updates, or a DEF14c, or the Proxy letter that your broker will forward to you either via e, or snail mail.
And stop telling folks that they already missed the deadline for the only catalyst this stock has seen since the Prop vote. You might just bring in some new investors, rather then scaring them off !!!
Hey King, just FYI. All California dispensaries are "not for profit". I don't know what kind of revenues your new big thing is going to post, but I'm sure the State of California will be very interested to hear them.
You really found yourself a winner. OPM, now that's truly funny. I'm glad you locked up half the float on your own too, that really shows the wide interest eh'.
That trust fund must be getting smaller by the day, and you are sure running out of allies.
Enjoy the Vegas trip. Hope you hit big so you can hedge your losses.
C'mon SFIO, I want to go shopping, let's git 'er done so I can load my cart!
Started to build all week for a $1.50 trade and back to where we were LMAO.
Done, TY Thumper, I've been using that source as well, just never bothered to share.
Here's another PR from ASIA with some added info
Dragonite International Limited Lawsuits Against Patent Iinfringers of E-Cigarettes in USA to Defend Intellectual Property Rights
PR Newswire Asia | 14 Jan 2011 7:40pm
HONG KONG, Jan. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Dragonite International Limited (the"Company" or "Dragonite", HKEx stock code: 329) is taking legal actions against several patent infringement cases of electronic cigarettes in the United States. The Company's patent application for the "electronic atomization cigarette" in the United States is approved by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which covers all main components, including battery, vaporization mechanism, activation switch and flavor cartridge. Such lawsuits will help eliminate inferior product imitations and benefit Dragonite with the Company being the inventor of electronic cigarettes. The Company has won a number of patent infringement cases in China. With a victory over the legal actions taken in the US courts, the Company will be able to further safeguard its strong foothold on the estimated USD500 million global market.
China has ratified the World Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, and has executed a ban on smoking in all indoor public places since January 2011. It is anticipated that the sales of electronic cigarettes will be boosted. The Company has been granted patent in China and is expected to benefit from the regulation. With people becoming more health conscious, smokers, as well as leading tobacco companies, and tobacco marketers have shown increased interest in new smoking alternative products. The R&D and patents of Dragonite will help the Company strengthen and expand its strategic partnerships around the globe.
The Electronic Cigarette is a battery-operated device which looks like a cigarette but has no ignition. When inhaled, a battery activates a vaporization process of a self-contained liquid flavor cartridge simulating the look, feel, and taste of tobacco cigarettes. In a properly designed Electronic Cigarette, the vapor is harmless, looks like smoke, but dissipates rapidly leaving no residue, or second hand smoke.
Dragonite has previously appointed Mr. Manfred A. Haussler as a non-executive director of the Company. Mr. Haussler has over 25 years' experience as an executive in the consumer products and tobacco industries. He was the Chief Operation Officer and President of international operations and member of the board of directors of Reemtsma Cigarettenfabriken GmbH (the 4th largest global cigarette manufacturer). Commenting on the appointment, Ms Angela Ching, executive director of the Company, said, "Mr. Haussler has abundant experience in the sales and operation of consumer products tobacco industry. His professional knowledge and extensive network will be beneficial to the Company."
About Dragonite
Dragonite is publicly listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEx stock code: 329). The Company was operating as a health care and pharmaceutical products company known as the Golden Dragon Group. The electronic cigarette business, including the SBT ("Substitute for Tobacco") group, which had been operating as an affiliate of Golden Dragon, was then consolidated into the listed company and the name was changed to "Ruyan Group (Holdings) Limited" in November 2007 with three major business divisions: health care, pharmaceutical and electronic cigarettes. Dragonite owns and operates electronic cigarette R&D, manufacturing, and sales and marketing operations in China. Dragonite holds the original, core invention patents on the electronic cigarettes. Its patent was recently approved in the USA, and already granted in the European Union, Russia and former Soviet republics, mainland China and Taiwan etc.
