The Basher's Handbook
Reprinted here as a service to those who doubt this actually exists, or is simply an unfounded urban legend.
Is the "Bashing" of a stock an essential part of the online investment landscape?
Our Constitution guarantees us free speech and we have always valued the lessons gleaned from dissent. When does dissent cross over that imaginary line and become "Bashing"? To often we find well grounded dissent capriciously labeled as "Bashing" by over zealous investors bent on protecting a stocks reputation at any cost. The "Bashing" that is addressed on this site is quite different from dissent. The Anatomy of a Basher strives to look at the calculated erosion of confidence in a given stock. Erosion by means that are, in every sense, void of truth, hinged on deception and innuendo, and motivated by greed at the expense of others. This compendium is offered to aid in identifying the telltale signs of "Bashing", and hopefully provide a counter balance to this heretofore unchecked manipulation of investors fears for personal gain.
IS IT EASIER TO SCARE PEOPLE INTO SELLING THAN IT IS TO SCARE PEOPLE INTO BUYING A STOCK? I have asked some knowledgeable investors this question and the answer is always: "YES, OF COURSE YES!"
WHO BASHERS PREY UPON
Consider the elderly that are investing for retirement, they find their way to the message boards for validation only to see false posts about "SEC Violations" and "Class action suits"... or the head of a "typical growing family", with children to put through college, who is monitoring a message board only to read posts by a "pack of 15 to 20 Bashers" (probably 5 or 6 under various alias's) posting continuous disinformation... what do you think these new investors will do? It's safer to not buy or even sell the stock, put the money back in the bank than to deal with all this whirl wind of "unsupported" negative chaff.
The Internet has lured a whole new class of investor into the market. A new investor is just that - New! This new investor, while learning the basics, is particularly vulnerable to the tactics of professional Bashers. New investors tend to lurk in the background of message boards, content to form independent opinions based on what they read with their own eyes. Very often, honest, intelligent and cautious people can easily be overcome by a well orchestrated propaganda effort.
You must always remember that their is a lot of money to be made in just the motion of a stock UP or DOWN it doesn't matter! And Bashers have money at risk just as you do. But they have the edge of fear, lies, and falsehoods to post while preying on the un-initiated. The average investor dose not have the edge of organized deception.
Recent revelations have indicated that even Market Makers (those charged with keeping the playing field level) have been involved in stock manipulation by Bashing on a stock message board. HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THIS IS A REAL THREAT!
Lesson 1: Remember, BASHERS NEVER Bash A BAD STOCK. Check the boards for stocks with no potential. They never have any Bashers. Bashers only go after stocks that are moving up or have excellent potential to do so. Bashers work to bring the price down to either increase their position at the expense of others or help a Short make their bones.
Lesson 2: BASHERS ALWAYS BRING UP OLD NEWS THAT YOU HAVE HEARD MANY TIMES. New startup companies always have a few bits of bad news. The Basher will post this over and over again. Unsophisticated Bashers will try to freshen up old news with a new date or by-line in an attempt to fool you.
Lesson 3: BASHERS POST MANY TIMES A DAY. They try to wear you out. They comment on everything, every other post, and can answer every question. THEY KNOW IT ALL! There is no positive comment they won't Bash. They try to control the board. True longs may have to confront the Bashers or they will appear to the newbies as being the people with all the information. This is best accomplished by posting positive, well researched data on the company, repetitively, while trying hard not to engage the Bashers in direct repartee. REMEMBER - LONGS... RESIST USING THE BASHERS ALIAS!
Lesson 4: BASHERS WILL LIE TO YOUR FACE. Never trust a Basher. The truth on startup companies is that they make mistakes. What new company hasn't? The Basher will compare your issue to a another companies, financials - deals - management, etc., trying to lure you into making an Apples to Oranges comparison. Remember each company is unique and while it is prudent to seek out established indicators, do so with care and don't take someone else's word for it. Strive to come up with at least a "six-pack" of indicators so your vision of the state of a company is not tied to a single barometer. Not doing so is tantamount to going to a Race Track and betting on the "Pretty Brown Horsey". BASHERS WANT TO WHISPER IN YOUR EAR - PLANT A SEED OF DOUBT, AND HOPE THAT YOU ARE NOT SAVVY ENOUGH TO RESEARCH THE TRUTH ON YOUR OWN. This is how they achieve their greatest success.
DOUBT + FEAR + LAZINESS = BAIL OUT!
This is your investment... work for it, protect it and don't panic on the words of very shadowy figure that "has your best interest in their heart". Consider that one factor: Someone you have never met, is not a member of your family, is now, out of the goodness of their hearts - GIVING YOU FREE ADVICE (that you didn't ask for). It's a no brainer. They have motives $$$$$$$$$$$$.
Lesson 5: Bashers know YOU CAN'T VERIFY THEIR STATEMENTS. That's why they make the vague statements they do. They rely on you being to lazy to research their droppings other than to scan the board for others opinions. This is particularly dangerous when you consider that Bashers work in packs and often validate and back up each others nonsense with what appears to be "innocuous and unsolicited" verification by comrade Bashers. Let's face it, we are all conditioned to "believe" everything we see in writing. If others by virtue of their "posts" also confirm this belief, then we are subconsciously doomed to swallow the hook, line and sinker... Basher - 1 Honest Investor - 0
Lesson 6: The Bashers PLAY ON YOUR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. They can lie about information and you won't know the difference (unless you have done your own DD on the company and know the truth and facts).
Lesson 7: Bashers play on your lack of patience. You have held a stock for a while. You knew it will be a big stock someday, but the BASHER CAN GET TO YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE TIRED OF WAITING FOR YOUR GAIN. That's when the Basher is best. You are tired. You have forgotten the goal for the stock was to hold it for one year. The Basher is bothersome, so you dump it on a bad day. Some others also dump. Then you get mad for your loss and return to let everyone know how mad you are. Then you turn into a semi-Basher as well. THE BASHER HAS WON, AND GAINED A NEW ALLY - YOU!
Lesson 8: BRING THE PRICE DOWN. That is the Basher's job. The truth is not important. Lies are the norm. Post continuously on the board every day. They are trying to scare the newbies that are just investigating a stock. They are trying to wear down the faithful longs on the board and gain free reign and control.
A BASHER HANDBOOK:
Do not underestimate a Bashers influence on a stock. The Pro's are good at what they do and what they do is profit from your losses. Below is their "hand-book". Learn from it or you will be donating your hard earned money to them!
Rules for Successful Bashing:
1. Be anonymous
2. Use 10% fact. 90% suggestion. The facts will lend credibility to your suggestions.
3. Let others help you learn about the stock. Build rapport and a
support base before initiating your Bashing routine.
4. Enter w/ humor and reply to all who reply to you.
5. Use multiple ISP's, handles and aliases.
6. Use two (2) or more aliases to simulate a discussion.
7. Do not start with an all out slam of the stock. Build softly.
8. Identify your foes (Longs) and the boards "guru" Use them to
your advantage. Lead them do not follow their lead.
9. Only Bash until the tide/momentum turns. Let doubt carry it the
rest of the way.
10. Give the appearance of being open minded.
11. Be bold in your statements. People follow strength.
12. Write headlines in caps with catchy statements.
13. Pour it on as your position gains momentum. Not your personality.
14. Don't worry about being labeled a "Basher". Newbies won't
know your history.
15. When identified put up a brief fight, then back off. Return in an hour unless your foe is a weak in reasoning powers.
16. Your goal is to limit the momentum of the run. Not to tank the
company or create a plunge in the stock; be subtle and consistent.
17. Kill the dreams of profits, not the company or the stock.
18. Use questions to create critical thinking. Statements to
reinforce facts.
19. DO NOT LIE, NAME CALL or USE PROFANITY.
20. Encourage people to call the company. 99% won't. They'll take your word for claims made. If they do call you can always find something that is inaccurate in how they report their findings.
21. Discourage people from believing Press Releases.
Encourage them to call the company. They won't out of laziness.
22. If the companies history/PR's are negative constantly point to that. Compile a list of this data prior to beginning your efforts.
23. If the price rises blame it on the hype or the PR, temporary
mass reaction, the market, etc. Anything but the stock itself.
24. If other posters share your concerns, play on that and share theirs too.
25. Always cite low volume, even when it's not.
26. Three or four aliases can dominate a board and wear down the longs.
27. Bait the Longs into personal debates putting their
focus/efforts on you and not the stock or facts. Divert their attention from facts.
28. Promote other stocks that would-be investors can turn to
instead of the one your Bashing.
30. Do not fall for challenges on the "values" of what you are doing, it's a game and you are playing it with your own rules.
Grade 'A' Basher:
If you post lots of old news, respond to all positive posts with a negative side. Never respond to being called a Basher, never post on another board with same alias. Can spend up to 80 hours a week Bashing a stock.
Grade 'B' Basher:
Very good way with words, always claims to be your "friend" taking the positive poster into confidence, never posts on another board, spends about 60 hours a week.
Grade 'C' Basher:
Spends less time than the others but is somewhat effective and gets a C grade due to getting excited when Bashers rules say not to get excited, spends about 40 hours a week.
Grade 'D' Basher:
Needs to learn the basics about being convincing when making a negative statement. Spends a good amount of time working the stock, maybe 20 hours a week.
Grade 'F' Basher:
A complete idiot, most readers are not convinced he knows anything about stocks in general. The type that says a stock "sucks", but gives no rationale, shows up every so often but no regular schedule.
LEARN ABOUT HOW BASHERS WORK: For instance: did you know that some Bashers are paid?
Golden Rule:
IGNORE THEM ...learn how professional Bashers are paid: When you REPLY to Bashers you give them an opportunity to earn appox. 5-7 dollars. The service agreement they enter into with their employer states their messages will be monitored for content, profanity, lies, etc. but Overseers and the like don't have the time to check all their Bashers messages. Only occasional spot checks are done. Those who manage the Basher will generally read the headlines to see if a Basher is replying to other posters by name. That tells them the Basher isn't just "posting blindly" or repeating the same message over and over since they won't pay for those.(True to form a Basher will put the bite on anyone, even their unscrupulous employer). A Basher will attempt to milk three to five replies per post at one to two dollars each. This way the Basher spreads negative influence to as many stockholders as possible. A Basher will create this discussion thread because it takes less time reading more messages than is necessary. This ultimately allows the Basher more time to post and make money. In general, NEVER ENGAGE A BASHER. Make them read all the posts and think up ways to enter the discussion. NEVER ENGAGE A BASHER; if you do so then YOU BECOME THE BASHER,S AID! If you feel compelled to challenge a Basher do so without mentioning his/her true alias in your response. This will make it hard for the Basher to use your post as a revenue stream. Read the news, do your own homework and make your own decisions. Get real time quotes and follow the stock for a couple of weeks. Due Diligence is key here. Know that there will be a time when the stock runs up which will be followed followed by the Bashers and those that missed the boat. The Bashers will trash the stock by saying such things as "it's a Pump and Dump" and "the company is lying" and deceiving. There goal is to scare off newbies and potential new investors by "shaking" you out of your shares. Take the time to confirm your DD ,trust your own judgement and believe in yourself, pick your point of return or loss and live with it. Don't listen to hype or Bashers trust your own judgement. Live by the rules you have created .
HOW TO IDENTIFY A BASHER
1. Check the "Born on Date" Bashers create identities on a regular basis. Rarely do you find a Basher with older "Created On" date. So click on the Identity icon for more details.
2. Take the time to look at the Basher's history of Posts. Go to other boards and see if their is a pattern to the theme of the posts. Bashers rarely waste time trying to blend in with "positive" posts, unless they are cultivating a new uninformed assistant.
3. When did the Basher show up. Bashers rarely show up when activity is in at a Lull. They show up when activity up/down..
4. Bashers never answer direct questions except with another question.
5. Bashers do work in teams (sometimes themselves as a team). So be suspicious of someone showing up and automatically having a Shadow to converse with who supports their argument.
6. Bashers always select "an argument" that can never be resolved by research.
The Basher 'Pack' Mentality
Bashers love to work in packs. It provides the quintessential cover to achieve supposedly "independent" validation of an argument. It is neither independent nor validating.
Pack Structure: Basher Packs can be comprised of any number of Bashers. They can be purposely formed within an organization or they can be "ad hoc" formed during a conclave on a particular board. In fact a pack mentality can be achieved by an ambitious "party of one" with a few select aliases.
Once a pack is formed, a leader emerges. This leader is usually acknowledged by other Bashers because of 1. Knowledge of the stock. or 2. Recognition by current board Longs (high visibility). Once established the Leader will usually work the Pack members up in to a posting frenzy. Constantly changing themes and even occasionally biting the ear of another pack member (this earns instant credibility), and it doesn't offend the bitten Basher because he/she knows it is all part of the effect. Quite sophisticated.
Packs will disband and slink away without notice. Usually this is the call of the Pack Leader who is adept at recognizing overplay. More often than not, Pack members must move on because they have other Bashing commitments to fulfill. They will return to the site of a good hunt over and over again, until hamstringing is achieved.
What calls a pack together. The Cry of the Leader. Certain Bashers love to work together. They know each others bite, how to feign in and out, it is a well choreographed Bash when pack members have worked together before. They constantly check their "Sites Du Jour" for signs of Pack activity. Occasionally they will throw out a "Nibbler" Bash to see if the pack responds or if not they can work the site themselves. It's all about effectiveness, time and earning money.

Will May Be a Good Month For Marijuana Stocks (GOOD READ)
By J. Phillip -
May 3, 2018
The year of 2018 has been quite topsy-turvy for the world of cannabis with a series of positive and negative news entering the space. With a majority of the negative information coming from speculation and uncertainty, the rest of the year and this month especially could help to turn the cannabis market around to where investors and researchers see it going in the near future.
Many stocks in the market have been reported to be on the road to corrections in the past few months. Because of this, April has helped to show where the market may be able to go in the near future. The month of April also provided a short glimpse at what could occur in the future of the cannabis industry, but marijuana stocks quickly fell short once more amidst new speculative news in the industry.
Many investors are wondering if May could be the positive month for cannabis that we’re all waiting for, and it does seem likely. The month of May could show a new light in the industry as more and more individuals are becoming comfortable with the idea of legal cannabis.
April was a large month for the world of cannabis as a large amount of news hit the industry. The first big piece of news in April came from President Trump’s support of states’ rights to legalize cannabis at their disposal. This was big news as prior to this, it was difficult to see where the federal government was going with the idea of legal marijuana. Cory Gardner, the senator from Colorado who helped to change Trump’s sentiment stated that “since the campaign, President Trump has consistently supported states’ rights to decide for themselves on how best to approach marijuana.” Gardner helped to push Trump to show his public support for cannabis by blocking a nomination, resulting in Trump being forced to meet with him to discuss this. Gardner further stated that “I received a commitment from the President that the Department of Justice’s rescission of the Cole memo will not impact Colorado’s legal marijuana industry,” added Gardner. “Furthermore, President Trump has assured me that he will support a federalism-based legislative solution to fix this states’ rights issue once and for all.”
The news of this was extremely unexpected and caused the price increase in many stocks across the industry. After this news was dropped and in more recent news, John Boehner announced that he would be supporting the marijuana industry. This was a major shift as his whole time as Speaker of the House was spent in opposition to the cannabis world. With many of these new opinions coming into the space regarding positivity in the marijuana sector from individuals who otherwise would not, the market has been soaring in the big picture.
More news has come into the market showing increased positivity that has led to the increase of prices in the space. The cannabis industry is still very much in its infant stages which helps to explain why the fluctuations in pricing happens too frequently. The hopes are high that the next few years will continue to stabilize the market so that it can begin to represent the true nature of cannabis as an industry. If the market is able to reach its full potential in the coming months and years, more and more investments will continue to pour into the space. HMPQ "ROCKET TIME"

Sessions Changes Opinion on Medicinal Cannabis
By J. Dylan -
May 3, 2018
Marijuana-Stocks-jeff sessions
The U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has now acknowledged that “there may well be some benefits from medical marijuana.” He also stated that it is “perfectly appropriate to study” cannabis. This opinion comes at a time after Sessions has for so long been an opponent to the world of legal cannabis.
Sessions then quickly also stated that there is some evidence to show marijuana may be able to reduce some of the effects of the opioid epidemic that has been plaguing the U.S. for some time now. He also stated that research currently shows lower overdoses in states that allow for legal cannabis in some form or another. He stated that he doesn’t believe “that will be sustained in the long run,” in regard to the lower overdoses. This opinion from Sessions is quite new as since his election he has stated that he will continue to fight the arguably failed War on Drugs.
Sessions also stated that the federal government will soon be giving out more licenses to allow entities to grow legal cannabis for research purposes only. He stated before the Senate Appropriations Commerce Justice and Science Appropriations Subcommittee that “We are moving forward and we will add fairly soon, I believe, the paperwork and reviews will be completed and we will add additional suppliers of marijuana under the controlled circumstances.” The DEA also released a new policy that would allow for more licenses to research cultivators in the industry. Since this announcement, he stated that they have received as much as 25 application to be apart of the new government program. Thus far, he has yet to act on these new applications, but it does look to be incredibly promising for the future ahead.
Sessions also stated that if they are to open up the opportunity to research, it could potentially backfire for the U.S. in regard to international drug treaties. He stated that “the treaty requires certain controls in that process.” He also stated that earlier proposals have violated that treaty, but that they are working to find a happy medium to satisfy all people.
Sessions stated this opinion in response to questioning from U.S. Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii who stated that “we’re all evolving on this issue, some quicker than others. There are good civil rights reasons for decriminalizing and pursuing a federalist approach around this.” Sessions did not, however, state any time frame for this proposed legislation, but his changing opinion is a large milestone in the world of medicinal cannabis.
The largest part here is the fact that Sessions has to some extent, admitted that medicinal cannabis could have a benefit to those who need it. This is a major paradigm shift from his prior opinions and thus could lead to a large amount of positive legislation for the cannabis industry. He stated that “medical marijuana, as one physician told me, whoever heard of taking medicine when you have no idea how much medicine you’re taking and ingesting it in the fashion that it is, which is in itself unhealthy?” This remains one of the issues in the cannabis world, that individuals are not fully aware of the dosing of the medicine. There is an easy solution to this, and that remains to have the ability to conduct more and more research on cannabis. If scientists are able to research the plant more, it is likely that many of the current issues with dosing will go away. With new research coming into the space on a daily basis, the hopes are high that this changing opinion will quickly be reflected in the policy of cannabis in the U.S. HMPQ "ROCKET TIME" SOON

Since this announcement, he stated that they have received as much as 25 application to be apart of the new government program. Thus far, he has yet to act on these new applications, but it does look to be incredibly promising for the future ahead.
Sessions also stated that if they are to open up the opportunity to research, it could potentially backfire for the U.S. in regard to international drug treaties. He stated that “the treaty requires certain controls in that process.” He also stated that earlier proposals have violated that treaty, but that they are working to find a happy medium to satisfy all people.
Sessions stated this opinion in response to questioning from U.S. Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii who stated that “we’re all evolving on this issue, some quicker than others. There are good civil rights reasons for decriminalizing and pursuing a federalist approach around this.” Sessions did not, however, state any time frame for this proposed legislation, but his changing opinion is a large milestone in the world of medicinal cannabis.
The largest part here is the fact that Sessions has to some extent, admitted that medicinal cannabis could have a benefit to those who need it. This is a major paradigm shift from his prior opinions and thus could lead to a large amount of positive legislation for the cannabis industry. He stated that “medical marijuana, as one physician told me, whoever heard of taking medicine when you have no idea how much medicine you’re taking and ingesting it in the fashion that it is, which is in itself unhealthy?” This remains one of the issues in the cannabis world, that individuals are not fully aware of the dosing of the medicine. There is an easy solution to this, and that remains to have the ability to conduct more and more research on cannabis. If scientists are able to research the plant more, it is likely that many of the current issues with dosing will go away. With new research coming into the space on a daily basis, the hopes are high that this changing opinion will quickly be reflected in the policy of cannabis in the U.S. MJTK "ROCKET TIME" SOON
The Progression of Marijuana Stocks And The Growing Industry Behind Them

With so much news occurring in and around the cannabis stock market, it can be difficult to figure out all of the events that could speculatively be affecting prices within the industry. News such as President Trump’s announcement that the federal government would not interfere on states rights to choose laws for cannabis as well as the Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s new plans, both continue to change the future of the market for good.
The cannabis industry has seen a lot of changes in the past few weeks in regard to legislation and news. This news continues to affect the prices of many stocks in the industry due to the fact that they are especially contingent upon legalization and laws regarding the substance. This past week towards the end of April, the state of Michigan decided to place a bill on the vote for November that would allow the legalization of recreational cannabis throughout the state. Jamie Cooper, CEO and founder of Michigan-based Cannabiz Connection, stated that “it’s great to see years of hard work come to fruition. I am eager to be a part of the efforts to ensure we are successful in November. This initiative provides so much opportunity to businesses in and out of the cannabis industry. I truly can’t wait to see our economy explode like we have seen it happen in other states.” This explosion throughout the state in terms of tax revenue and the likes, has occurred in many states that have chosen to legalize the use of cannabis. With new legal cannabis comes a new slew of businesses and entities that are all helping to continue pushing the market forward. Because of this, states that allow legal cannabis can expect to see large jumps in revenue across the board.
Debra Borchardt, CEO and co-founder of Green Market Report stated that “there was some slightly positive news out of Washington D.C. where AG Jeff Sessions seemed to indicate he was open to the idea of more research for medicinal marijuana but still made sure everyone knew he wasn’t going soft on cannabis just yet.” The effect of the speculation in the cannabis market means that anytime there is a news release, stocks are either positively or adversely affected. This can make it difficult to actually gauge the price targets and other factors for stocks in the cannabis market.
One of the most promising ventures throughout the cannabis market continues to be the reality of mergers and acquisitions. Borchardt continued to state that “in the business world, the acquisitions continue to be the big news as numerous deals were announced this week and a big private placement of $35 million went to AltMed, an investment of CannaRoyalty.” Some of the declines from the last week in cannabis have come from uncertainty on some principles of legislation in the market. Because of this, the United States Marijuana Index, which is comprised of 17 of the largest marijuana stocks in the U.S., lost 2% over the week. The North American Marijuana Index, which includes some Canadian stocks in the market, reported losses of almost 5%. These numbers are not anything to worry about as they are indexes that just track the daily movement. Overall, the movement in the long term of these stocks has remained quite positive. Marijuana is a market that should be judged in the long term as the future of cannabis remains incredibly bright. The hopes are high that the cannabis industry can continue to post gains as it has since its inception. HMPQ "ROCKET TIME"

Poll: 74% of US voters support bill protecting state-legal marijuana programs
Published April 30, 2018
Public support for a states’ rights approach to marijuana legalization is solidifying, at a time when momentum is building in Congress for exactly such reform.
Nearly three in four American voters (74%) support legislation that would protect states with legal medical and recreational marijuana programs from federal prosecution, according to the latest Quinnipiac University poll.
Sen. Cory Gardner, a Colorado Republican, and Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, plan soon to introduce a bipartisan bill that would provide states with the authority to decide on marijuana laws for themselves.
Gardner said recently he received personal support from President Trump for the approach.
Separately, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, has said he would introduce legislation that includes a states’ rights approach.
Despite public support and momentum on the Hill, some experts remain skeptical that MJ federal reform will occur before the midterm elections in November.
John Hudak, a senior fellow at Brookings Institution, a Washington DC think tank, recently said that he just doesn’t think Congress “has the appetite” to take on the issue.
The new Quinnipiac survey also found that U.S. voters now support legalization by a 63% to 33% margin, up 2 percentage points since an August 2017 survey. Support for medical marijuana remained unchanged at 93%.
“Voters are more favorable to legalizing marijuana than in any previous Quinnipiac University survey,” Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, said in a news release.
The phone survey of 1,193 U.S. voters nationwide has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points. HMPQ "ROCKET TIME"

Marijuana Reform Enters the House!
By J. Dylan -
Apr 30, 2018
A group of bipartisan lawmakers recently gathered on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives to state their opinions on the world of marijuana and why it should be legalized. Congressman Earl Blumenauer from Oregon stated that “Medical marijuana is like the Fourth of July, it is almost universally accepted.” This opinion has been accepted throughout the population as acceptance rates for medical marijuana have risen above 60% from almost half of that only ten years prior.
Congressman Matt Gaetz from Florida went in front of the house stated that he will soon be introducing legislation in marijuana’s favor with the overwhelming support of the House Judiciary Committee Chairman. This new piece of legislation would effectively make it much easier for individuals to study the effects of cannabis. The current world of research in the U.S. makes it incredibly difficult to study marijuana as it is still listed as a Schedule I narcotic. This listing means that as far as the government is concerned, cannabis has no medicinal properties as well as a high rate of addiction. Both of these claims have been refuted by much of popular science and research over the past several years.
Gaetz stated that his bill will “First, it will increase the number of people who are growing medical-grade cannabis for research purposes. Second, it will end the gaga rule at the VA that precludes physicians fro being able to consult and speak with their patients about the laws in their particular states. Third, it will create a safe harbor so that some of the finest medical institutions and universities in this great country will be able to research and partner with private sector entities to determine the potential that medical cannabis can have to improve people’s quality of life.” There is no doubt that this new bill will help to solve a large amount of the underlying issues with health care in this country. Gaetz went on to state that “this legislation will end the prohibition from having commercial, for-profit entities working in concert, in collaboration with some of those very universities and medical institutions.”
The floor of the House continued to be lit up with individuals protesting their right for cannabis legislation that is fair and makes sense. For too long, the government has been concerned with maintaining an old law banning cannabis that has resulted in states having to put forth their own contradictory legislation.
Congressman Carlos Curbelo of Florida also stated his opinion, going after Attorney General Jeff Sessions for his failed continuance of the war on drugs. He stated on the floor that “It is difficult for me to comprehend the logic behind blocking scientific research to analyze the medical applications of cannabis because I believe it is critical for policymakers to possess objective data on the effectiveness of cannabis as an alternative treatment for anxiety, depression, pain, psychosis, post-traumatic stress disorder, opioid addiction, and epilepsy. We owe it to American patients to open up the field of research on this.” This is a sentiment that has been widely shared by the population in the U.S. The ongoing fight from Sessions and his disciples has effectively just made it more difficult for states to put their own legislation, as opposed to actually helping to solve the issue of drug use in the country. Cannabis has widely been accepted as a treatment for a wide range of ailments and continues to prove itself as one of the most effective methods for treating certain diseases. The hopes are high that this meeting will help to change the future of cannabis legislation in this country. MJTK "ROCKET TIME"

Former House Speaker John Boehner to promote legalizing marijuana

Former House Speaker John Boehner to promote legalizing marijuana
Former House Speaker John A. Boehner said Wednesday he has had a change of heart on marijuana and will promote its nationwide legalization as a way to help veterans and the nation's deadly opioid crisis.
The Ohio Republican, an avid cigarette smoker, has joined the advisory board of Acreage Holdings, a multistate cannabis company. The company also announced that former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld had joined its advisory board.
Weld, a Republican as governor, ran in the 2016 presidential election on the Libertarian Party ticket that was headed by legal-pot advocate Gary Johnson.
Boehner said in a statement his position "has evolved" from opposing to supporting legalization of marijuana.
"I decided to get involved because of the struggles of our country's veterans and the opioid epidemic, after learning how descheduling the drug can potentially help with both crises," said Boehner, 68.
He said he wanted to see federally funded research done and to allow the Department of Veterans Affairs to offer marijuana as a possible treatment option for such conditions as chronic pain and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Boehner also said the move would curtail federal-state conflict on marijuana policies. While marijuana is illegal at the federal level, most states have legalized pot in some form. President Trump's administration in January lifted a Barack Obama-era policy that discouraged federal authorities from cracking down on the pot trade in states where the drug is legal.
New York-based Acreage, which has cannabis operations in 11 states, said Boehner and Weld would serve on its board of directors when that is formed. Boehner had an earlier stint on a tobacco's company's board. HMPQ "ROCKET TIME" SOON
Marijuana/Hemp Stocks Are Seeing a New Boom Throughout the Industry

There is no doubt that the cannabis market has been booming in recent times, but the past year or so has been instrumental in the development of the industry for the future. Some cannabis stocks have seen a growth of over 1,000%, leading many new investors to come into the space.
The research firm ArcView has stated that with a 33% increase in cannabis sales to almost $10 billion, the next 10 years could see that number going up to as much as $50 billion. This is a growth rate that is almost unprecedented in any other industry.
Polls throughout the U.S. have shown an overwhelming amount of support for the industry which has changed over the past ten years quite drastically. The current state of support for the legal cannabis industry is as much as 64%, which is almost double from where it was ten years ago. The market has also been changing dramatically throughout the world as Canada is currently in the process of legalizing cannabis recreationally by Summer of this year. The market in Canada could potentially become the first developed country in the world to have recreational marijuana legalized which is a huge step from any perspective.
The world of cannabis has remained extremely positive for those who have gotten in and those looking to get in. In any market, there will always be ups and downs, but the next several years are poised to potentially be some of the largest that we have seen in cannabis thus far. HMPQ "ROCKET TIME"
