Please correct me, but HEMP INC does not have an official Facebook/Twitter page, nor should they. That was Perlowin's personal/business page. It provides many details - see the Bloomberg interview.
Perlowin can't focus much of his time/resources on media or websites, given that he is trying to produce one of the biggest hemp trades America have ever encountered. Pay a guy 100k, and you will have a very pretty website. At this time, pretty websites is not the objective.
GLTA. LONG HEMP.
Who's doings, this Facebook HEMP page? Authenticate. Who is behind it, who is managing? It can't be Perlowin. Prove me wrong.
Anyone have any 12c shares? I'm your huckleberry.
Perlowin is a true leader. Prove me otherwise.
Look at how the shorts sleep. They are just that - short. Short sighted and short term on your interests.
Track my posts (I've stated before, for the sake of truths)
Allow me to rebut:
HEMP INC does not have "significant" revenue, as it has been very difficult to boost revs when not allowed to conduct a legitimate business - see Farm Bill. Things have changed.
NO REVS: see Facebook.
NO PROFITS: see Amazon.
REMEMBER: great companies were started in garages, with 3-8 people... (see, Gates, Jobs, ... Facebook - one dude, in his dorm).
Unlike the "Facebook", HEMP has something tangible. Way TANGIBLE, like STEEL ... STEEL. INDUSTRY CHANGING. See Rockefeller.
Perlowin is the Warren Buffet of the sector - not some new age kid - DECADES of experience. Also, treading cautiously, not breaking the back of the company with overleveraged overhead.
AS OF FEBRUARY 7, 2014, IT IS LEGAL TO GROW HEMP (CANNABIS) IN THE USA.
LONG HEMP. GLTA.
You are correct - two different plants applied in two VERY different ways. That does not make hemp inferior to marijuana. Some might think the opposite (I know Perlowin sees the potential). Polymers in hemp are stronger than steel. Again, STRONGER THAN STEEL. That says a lot imo.
That's all from me. Have a good weekend.
LONG HEMP. GLTA.
Just watch. When (if) Perlowin releases the results on his hemp grow in China (which he has absolutely no obligation to do so to the public) the price will bloom (he knows what he's capable of). Take those results (positive or negative) and apply it in the States, well, you do the math. 20 cent shares is awfully cheap for what's ahead. I'm not gonna come to the board and say that the price wont fall some over the next few days, but anyone seeing sub 15 cent shares will be sent a blessing. You better believe I'm prepared to snatch em.
ITS THE OTC for crying out load!! Volatility galore. Give it a break. Relax and enjoy the new era ahead.
LONG HEMP. GLTA.
You day-traders/shorts crack me up. Simple consolidation here, nothing unusual. YES - SELL THE NEWS - which even started on Thursday (Obama's sig was virtually promised at that time, by his own staff). More selloff today, into the weekend. PANIC ALL YOU WANT - I'm here to take your shares, gladly. MORE NEWS ON THE WAY. IT WILL KEEP COMING ALL YEAR.
Silly, how some think this is dead. Polar opposite. Perlowin couldn't be any happier to conduct his cannabis (hemp) business legally. He now has less barriers to sell hemp product IN THE USA, and has so before (illegally, unfortunately, at the time). He knows what he is doing, and many follow his lead. Do your simple DD.
Don't doubt the longs in the field.
LONG HEMP. GLTA.
If the price drops tomorrow, I'll be happy to take the shares right out of your weak hands. Your loss, my gains. Give me your shares! Haha!
BIG DAY TOMORROW! LEGAL HEMP!!! OPEN FOR BUSINESS!

I EXPECT this is certain: for at least the next five years, this market WILL BE growing exponentially. If you don't think Perlowin has the experience, connections, OR knowledge to conduct a cannabis transaction, you might want to log off right now. Hemp has thousands of uses, and HEMP is a very legitimate company. If only those pesky marijuana legalities would vanish, then HEMP might actually be able to flourish. I fully expect the Marijuana legalities to vanish, if not entirely.
It appears some still cannot grasp the MANY challenges of conducting business in a strictly regulated domain. Until a couple of years ago, the idea that you could walk into a shop and leave with high potency marijuana was a fantasy. At this time, HEMP would not want to expend a lot of capital, only to have the federal overlord come shutting everything down with a bogus legality - probably one of the deciding factors to why China was chosen for the grow. Let me put it another way, you don't just rise out of bed, decide to open a gun shop, and instantly reap profits; there is a process. HEMP knows that they can't operate to its fullest, because of debilitating restrictions. It seems a lot of people overlook this side to the business of cannabis in America - you don't just rise out of bed, and open a legitimate pot shop.
Bruce Perlowin, if anyone, should know that most - he's not so blind, as some tend to paint him and his company, unfairly. I think the true believers will appreciate the network Perlowin has built over the years. Strategically, he is laying the road before he starts the engine. I think that is a wise strategy.
I've stated several times: deregulation is the investment. Perlowin is a seasoned vet and respected by many in this blossoming industry. Dealing in hemp trade, amongst all of the other cannabis plays, specifically marijuana, carries the least risk (IMO) AND has the most to offer, and I feel others would agree. You better believe Perlowin knows, very well.
Of course, the sector is highly volatile and carries extreme levels of risk, especially in penny-land.

You wanna know how I know the run isn't over... Colorado is virtually SOLD OUT, and more states to legalize. DEMAND. DEMAND. DEMAND!

States use Colorado as model in legal marijuana
By Allison Sherry, The Denver Post
Posted: 01/10/14, 1:49 PM EST |
Among the many people nationally eyeing Colorado’s implementation of recreational marijuana is an Alaskan education professor, a Portland, Ore., businessman and a bevy of state lawmakers from Delaware to Hawaii who hope the time has come for a national pot movement.
It seems that Colorado and Washington have made other states more comfortable with full pot legalization.
Alaska is likely next up, with a number of other states apt to follow later this year.
Organizers in Anchorage announced this week they have collected 45,000 signatures from across the state — a number they think will satisfy the 30,169 valid signatures required to get on the August 2014 primary ballot there. This isn’t the first attempt at legalizing pot for Alaskans, who voted down a measure on the ballot in 2004.
“The country wasn’t quite ready for the change then,” said Tim Hinterberger, a professor of medical education at the University of Alaska at Anchorage, who is leading the Alaskan movement. “We really are ready now to drop the war on marijuana hysteria. Colorado and Washington are another indicator that the time has changed.”
Oregon is trying again, too. Voters there put it on the ballot in 2012, but the measure failed.
Portland medical clinic owner Paul Stanford blames the loss on the state not having the national money that flowed to Colorado and Washington last year ahead of their 2012 elections.
Stanford, who is also director of the Campaign for the Restoration and Regulation of Hemp, has until July to collect signatures to make the November 2014 ballot.
“There is a shift in public perception,” Stanford said, noting that Oregon shares a state line with Washington. “Over half the population is within an hour’s drive of the Washington border. That changes the political dynamic.”
Nationally, public opinion has shifted on the issue. A CNN poll out earlier this week found 55 percent of those questioned nationally said pot should be legalized.
The changing sentiment can be attributed to generational replacement, said University of Colorado political scientist Ken Bickers.
Baby boomers, among the first generations that broadly experimented with marijuana, are becoming retirees.
Bickers also said with a few states — including Colorado — already out on the limb, it becomes less intimidating for others to follow suit.
“It’s one of the virtues of federalism,” he said. “Rather than a one-size-fits-all policy approach, let a couple of states work out the kinks. … It’s nice to try out policy measures in more localized ways rather than going national and having one giant debate.”
Beyond the looming ballot measures, the Marijuana Policy Project anticipates a handful of legislatures launching legalization campaigns this year. National polling — and politics — indicate that state legislative bodies in Delaware, Hawaii, Maryland, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont will tackle the issue this year.
Twenty states plus the District of Columbia already have medical marijuana laws in place.
Marijuana Policy Project spokesman Mason Tvert acknowledged that Colorado and Washington’s efforts helped push public opinion. But he calls August 2013 the national tipping point. That month the Justice Department announced it would not stand in the way of full legalization in either Washington or Colorado.
“They’ve (federal officials) made it clear,” Tvert said. “I think a lot of state officials and voters are going to consider that as they weigh in on what to do next.”
AB (who's name I've intentionally withheld) is an individual who occasionally will grace us with his highly skeptical opinions about this ticker (HEMP), and CEO Bruce Perlowin. Although he was right that HEMP actually made it (VERY BRIEFLY) back into sub-penny territory, his assessments are greatly fogged by technical analysis and hasty conclusions. To me, it appears AB (and a few other posters) does not fully understand what is happening in this new and growing sector. In other words, his negative opinions on this stock have prompted others to flee in fear, often at a loss (and I suspect to his gain through misguidance, or he also has lost and blames his misunderstandings elsewhere.)
The trade here is simple:
Smart investors took profits Wednesday. Thursday we saw the timid flee in fear. Today, smart investors will be re-entering, into next week. Trading 101, folks.
Re-entered. LONG HEMP. GLTA.
I've been laughing ever since I got up this morning, HA!
CHEERS TO THE LONGS!
Happy 2014... look'n GREEN!
Though some States have loosened their laws, Hemp is not legal to grow in the U.S. under Federal law because of its relation to marijuana. Any imported hemp products must meet a zero tolerance level. Do the simple DD.
Deregulation is the investment. Hemp is bringing product soon, with ties to many different end uses. Long HEMP.
Inventory coming...?
Cannabis = Hemp + Marijuana ["Weed"]
One would think, weed is the more taboo of the two.

Don't let skeptical opinions rush you to act against your own interests. Do your own DD.
This is a growing market - opportunity for all involved. HEMP seems to want to be at the forefront, and the CEO has decades of experience/relationships. That should be a good indicator, in itself. Sure, it's fair to question the tactics and strategies of Perlowin as he aims to grow a young company, but to doubt his motives is utter foolishness. Perlowin does not want to hedge against himself. He sincerely want's hemp included in any other realm of free commerce. And hemp (the plant) has many uses. Perlowin sees that, hence is attempting to be first to market. It's simple economics here.
The sub penny guess-timators must have been broken, today. Even if it tests the upper sub-pennies, not going much lower than where it closed today.
LONG HEMP. GLTA
The way I see it, deregulation is the investment. I believe deregulation will continue, even accelerate, which provides for safer grounds to conduct business, therefore more revenue. TONS OF REVENUE.
HEMP is showing at least some effort (others see so differently), which should bring some fortune, as long as we allow for free commerce of cannabis.
I can see a lot of these companies bought-out, too. In time.
Wondering what that contract with Yasheng looks like. Relationships that lead to lucrative contracts could be a huge benefit here.
To state that any company in the cannabis growing sector is the outlasting leader, at this early stage, is a bit hasty. That would be like claiming AOL is the outlasting leader of the internet...
Time and place is all relative, of course.
Perlowin has already proven his abilities to accumulate and distribute cannabis, in the past. Many believe he will be able to accomplish the same, several times to come, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS LEGAL to carry out such (harmless) acts.
Can someone confirm the agreement with Yasheng? is it a percentage rate, a flat fee, or combination of? stock options?
Without the facts, it appears one might jump to conclusions. The stock trades, and I don't see that slowing, now with HEMP producing raw materials. The end product will be sold to end users, and I'm sure they are on standby with all the (respectable) promoting they've done - they are "on the map". The final valuation will be determined by the market, once sold. Deregulation makes their (to be) proven practice grow exponentially, and there are a lot of good uses to hemp (some that might not have been discovered yet). As long as they keep going through the motions of running a new business, I believe they will continue to show results and grow into this young developing market.
I would bet Perlowin comes through as he has stated over and over. He has much to gain by succeeding. I think he knows what he's doing.
Bottom? This could not look anymore like the bottom imo. Flat since August, with a quadruple dip near $0.01. Should be an interesting end of the year. Good news today, and GLTA!
because weak hands keep selling the lows. news will come.
This is straight from mCig Support (I had same problem - more comments at bottom):
Hi,
What happened is you broke the coil. We are aware of the issue and have made a fix in the next batch that are being delivered shortly. I have personally used the same mCig for 6 months and other employees and customers that are gentle and grind their leaves very fine do not end up breaking the coil. The coil breaks when you either clean the chamber too aggressively or pack the leaves/herb/bud too aggressively. We will send you a new mCig if you like or you can wait for the next batch. We want you to be happy with your mCig!

I don't think they can resupply, as they sold out. You should reach out to them personally. I suspect they will make good, by sending you the new model for free - I could be wrong. At least they acknowledge both personally (very promptly) and publicly through the PR. Shows they are legit - provides credibility.
While the PR acknowledged the coil flaw, it didn't really detail how this will affect the companies balance sheet and image (for obvious reasons), moving forward.
I ordered three, and within hours, only one is working (actually, I don't know if that one still works, as I gave it to a buddy, who may have broken it, already, too.)
Educating the consumer of proper use to extend the life of the product would have been greatly appreciated. I would admit some level of user error, but there is a clear design flaw. For that, most of the blame should rest on the company, as the product's durability needs to be considered at the design phase, pre-launch. Conversely, I understand "NEW" is new, and trial-and-error is at work. Needless to say, the coil design has to be fixed (which they announced doing) or the value of these things is no more than a mini strobe light.
IMO, I think they are addressing this matter in the right way. Customer Service responded promptly, and offered a couple of satisfactory options. The last thing they want to do at launch is dissatisfy a willing customer (who is also a shareholder).
I'm sure the returns, additional R&D, and adjusted manufacturing costs are going to have an affect, in the short term, though I don't expect the fallout from this will be too severe - it is a bump in the road, nonetheless.
However, I'm optimistic on MCIG, and will be ordering from the new and IMPROVED batch.
Let's be perfectly clear: CANNABIS is Marijuana OR Hemp. They go hand in hand - DERIVED FROM THE SAME ORGANISM. In the US, both forms are regulated in virtually the same way, though their uses vary drastically. DEREGULATION opens paths to OPPORTUNITY - Any 3rd grader on a playground knows that. Like golf, if you putt with traditional or long-shaft putters, YOU'RE STILL PUTTING. Same with this trade, mmj or hemp.
I don't have to elaborate to most of you, I know, but this is business101.
With thousands of different applications to hemp (the plant), I am confident that HEMP (the company) is working to CAPITALIZE on this young and growing market - FIRST TO MARKET. Needless to say, Perlowin has proven himself, only to be incarcerated for being the best at what he did, due to one of the most unreasonable Big Gov't policies (of several) ever created.
It is no longer a secret, Cannabis is not harmful. It will not make you go insane and kill people - all propaganda BY OUR OWN GOV'T. Cannabis can actually HELP, mmj or hemp, if used in the right ways.
To date, HEMP hasn't had much to show (i.e. merch sales), as they, for the majority, have been in a development/R&D phase, laying the groundwork, ready for deregulation. Now, with actual product coming, with more deregulation, they will be able to implement their model - it's good strategy.
I am diversified in this sector. Some mmj positions. Some manufacturer's and byproducts. With hemp (the plant), I attempt to avoid the "side effects" of negative drug connotations. In other words, hemp (the other Cannabis) is a SAFE play; it is very scalable and carries less risk - low psychoactive compounds.
Off topic, minus the giant photo of "Seattle Hempfest", placed front and center as a graphic to the article. That is a critical oversight. The editor did not need to publish that particular photo, being that the article's subject matter was based entirely on the recreational acceptance of marijuana, instead of the very real and practical uses of hemp. Hmmm, wonder why they picked THAT photo... could it be Perlowin? Saluting your shorts, me thinks.
First: Majority Supports Legal Weed
Poll: Clear majority support legalizing marijuana for the first time
Poll: Clear majority support legalizing marijuana for the first time
Posted by
CNN's Bryan Koenig
(CNN) - More Americans think that marijuana should be legalized than those who want it kept illegal, according to a new poll.
According to the Gallup poll, 58% say that pot should be legalized, the first time in Gallup polling that a clear majority favor the move. Thirty-nine percent oppose legalization.
The 58% in favor of legalization is far removed from the 12% who said the same thing when Gallup first started asking in 1969, and it's up 10 percentage points since last November. The increase comes after a slight dip from when those supporting legalization first hit half the survey population, 50%, in 2011.
CNN's Sanjay Gupta: Why I changed my mind on weed
The survey attributes much of the pro-marijuana momentum to public referendums last year in Colorado and Washington state that made pot legal. Among those surveyed, 38% admitted to having tried the drug themselves.
Attorney General Eric Holder has said the Department of Justice will not seek to block the Colorado and Washington laws.
Federal enforcement of marijuana laws in the so-called "War on Drugs" has declined under the Obama administration. Justice has issued guidelines to federal prosecutors telling them to no longer pursue mandatory-minimum sentences against low-level nonviolent drug offenders.
Most support for legalization comes from Democrats, 65%, and Independents, 62%. About one in three Republicans, 35%, agreed. The younger the respondent, the more likely they were to favor legalization: 67% for 18 to 29 year-olds compared to 62% for those 30 to 49. and 56% for those between 50 and 64. Only those 65 and older reported less than half in favor of legalizing marijuana, at 45%.
The Gallup poll was conducted October 3-6, with 1,208 adults nationwide questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus four percentage points.

I thought I saw another state do the same, recently, but can't recall. Here's another read - These States Are Most Likely To Legalize Pot Next
Thoughts appreciated:
Being that the movement of these MJ/Hemp stocks are heavily influence by regulatory (gov't) announcements, especially this time of year, do any of you feel the looming "gov't shutdown" will have a direct (possibly negative) impact, and, if so, how severe?
If it's really bad, it could be a nasty curve-ball to our expectations. I don't expect it will be, though.
LONG HEMP
Next week should be a very interesting week for this ticker.
A pop exceeding .04 would be a strong indicator, and undoubtedly raise support lvl. From there, i'm confident this ticker will surge.
Look at the macro. Friday/holiday sells across the board. Look, F, AMD, FSLR, GOOG, just about everything followed course. Not unusual. HEMP is a BLUE CHIP, in time.
Who is venturing? PERLOWIN. Who is pioneering? PERLOWIN. Who is in the fields actually making things happen? THAT'S RIGHT, it's PERLOWIN. WHY DOES THIS LITTLE TICKER EXCHANGE +100K: IT'S PERLOWIN. HEMP, A FURTURE COMMODITY. In the driver seat - PERLOWIN. He's been there, done that. The market is open. Who's there? PERLOWIN.
LONG.
Best
Right on, buddy. Perlowin knows exactly what he is doing; has all the right connections. He's probably one of a very small few "go to" guys dealing, right now. A lot of pre-market activity happening, which isn't going to be released through PR too frequently - PRs have their cost, too.
If anyone out there is going to "make it happen", it's Perlowin.
I, again, agree that Alan is basing his assumption on HARD DATA, actual data, from the past. Yes, the financials look a bit unusual, but there is nothing usual when pioneering an entirely new market. Bruce is best at handling his business, not Alan.
What isn't clear is how anyone can jump so quickly to "scam" theories - they are just that: theories. Perlowin would be better off smuggling weed again, rather than ruin is chance at being a legitimate businessman, free from incarceration. The logic to take so much risk doesn't ring true.
[Poses rhetorically] Alan, isn't it possible that there is no "K" scam? Isn't it possible that HEMP is an infant company, much like Tesla (also ran by someone who brings the most experience and knowledge to his respective industry, who also loan his company money straight from his own pocket)? Isn't it possible that Perlowin actually knows his business better than anyone, and can see it operated in whatever form, to accomplish his goal of market capitalization. If he converts shares, he still has to sell them, which no one knows is certain or at what time. He could also transfer these shares, to be used as compensation, am I wrong? It seems to be that those that can't understand this business want to hastily jump to scammy conclusions - a show of ignorance, though very studious in practice (commendable).
Let's agree to disagree. Some believe Perlowin is running a self enrichment "scam", while others believe there's a lot of opportunity here, which, in due time, could be a self enrichment venture for everyone involved. Both stories hold as much validity as the other, until the market decides. I see the market is growing.
What seems really odd is how some go to great length fantasizing some radical scheme, which are not FACT. IT'S BOLOGNA! Makes me wonder the true motives of some.
Nowhere did I say the Kins Domain was Perlowin's concept. Some are doing it though.
