Up 6.32% is shabby cause shares are all diluted. What is that?
Going to have some cbd beverage drink news with earnings?
Dilution is the solution.........
Supreme court pick a friend of the herb case in point;
The media has made much of Jackson’s most personal encounter with the criminal justice system: Her uncle received a life sentence for multiple drug offenses. (While life sentences for non-violent crimes are always inhumane, her uncle’s was especially egregious; one state conviction that triggered his federal sentence involved mere possession of cannabis.) But Jackson has not spoken publicly about her connection to the carceral state or the treatment of her uncle, and other family members served as police officers. Whatever impact they may have had on Jackson, it’s clear that she believed passionately in constitutional protections for the accused. This devotion to the Fifth and Sixth Amendments—at a time when they are under attack at the Supreme Court—is more than encouraging. It indicates that, unlike her colleagues, Jackson’s perspective has not been permanently skewed toward the powerful and privileged.

Saw that. Even though dated is important for today. Not many people have seen
The Swiss are into health only wanting the best by test! That H.G. not Wells being major supplier to Europe means people want their sativa. War sucks. Is all about hate for other human beings for what? For being born is all cause the bloods not pure. CBD oil is pure and will cure this disease.
Fresh news for all those in concern of turds becoming dietary.
23 Feb 2022 --- The Natural Products Association (NPA) is demanding the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) assesses if cannabidiol (CBD) qualifies as a dietary supplement.
In a citizen’s petition, NPA requests that the FDA concludes that CBD is a legal dietary element that is not barred from the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA)’s relevant definitions of a dietary supplement.
“For more than four years, the dietary supplement industry has done all but beg the FDA to make safety determinations for CBD. In that time, 36 US states have established regulatory standards and the EU has decided on an interim level for CBD consumption,” says Daniel Fabricant, president and CEO of NPA.
“While we wait for a broader regulatory path for CBD, today’s action by NPA paves the way for the agency to review individual products and render an opinion on a case-by-case basis.”
NPA’s citizen’s petition was submitted alongside the company cbdMD’s new dietary component notification for a regulatory determination on one of its products.
The petition states that if FDA determines that CBD is not legal and is not included in the DSHEA criteria of a dietary supplement, the agency should clarify that it will scientifically analyze all safety data linked to CBD, including any safety data submitted as part of any premarket regulatory submission.
CBD legality and NAC issue
CBD would be found to be legal if the FDA granted the commissioner enforcement discretion in a manner consistent with the premarket safety review of a new dietary ingredient notification. Additionally, this can be done by recommending that the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) issue a regulation after notice comment.
The citizen’s petition may result in CBD’s regulatory uncertainty being resolved.
This latest petition closely follows a lawsuit against the FDA concerning the use of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) in supplements.
“Both issues surrounding NAC and CBD are glaring examples of the FDA fundamentally failing consumers and industry. Today’s citizen’s petition positions NPA to have all options available and will ensure CBD’s regulatory uncertainty is rectified,” Fabricant adds.
These topics have also received more fuel with the voting in of Dr. Robert Califf as the commissioner of the FDA. In light of this, industry has been calling for guidance for specific ingredients, such as CBD.
Regulations concerning CBD
The NPA also supported new proposed legislation introduced in the US Senate that directs the FDA to set a safe daily CBD consumption level.
To restore declining customer trust and scientifically confirm CBD products, Open Book Extracts and Radicle Science previously formed a CBD validation collaboration.
Lastly, after the rejection of two new dietary ingredient notifications for full-spectrum hemp extract containing CBD by the FDA, there were calls for better regulation of hemp-derived goods.

Wells Fargo Analyst Says Federal Marijuana Testing Mandate To Blame For Trucker Shortages And Rising Costs
A top Wells Fargo analyst says that there’s one main reason for rising costs and worker shortages in the transportation sector: federal marijuana criminalization and resulting drug testing mandates that persist even as more states enact legalization.
Chris Harvey, who serves as head of equity strategy at Wells Fargo Securities, addressed the issue during a conference call on Wednesday. He proactively brought up the challenges associated with cannabis testing in the trucking industry.
“If you’ve listened to one conference call or a thousand conference calls, what have you heard? Logistics, transportation costs, trucker costs all going higher and that’s going to continue to occur,” he said.
“And the reason being is very simple. And some of you know this and some, this may be new,” Harvey continued on the call, which was first noted by CNBC’s Carl Quintanilla . “It’s really about drug testing. We’ve legalized marijuana in some states but, obviously, not all but some. And what you have as a trucker is you have a federal mandate for drug testing.”
Federal transportation law stipulates that safety sensitive jobs like trucking require drug testing policies. But while advocates and opponents of legalization agree that nobody should be operating a 16-wheeler while intoxicated, the problem is that THC metabolites can be detectable in a person’s system for weeks after they’ve consumed.
Because of the mandate for truckers, “we’re excluding a significant portion of that trucker industry,” Harvey said. “And so, it’s going to make a very tight market even worse.”

I say there is also a mandate for sensitive congress jobs to hate on weed as loves pills/alcohol industries.
Is it that when the stock has a bad day is dilutionary and when stock goes up is anti dilutionary?
Thank you and everyone else for all these helpful response's.
Thanks, some of us dont know about a bunch of stuff should perhaps know about if matters. That the forms show buying thats a good thing. We all bought so can they.
Thank you NC but what do these forms in particular mean for the company?
Darth what do all these form 4's mean to lay people? Break it down please.
Or a rash of armed roberries might do the trick to allow banking.
Rash of robberies has Washington state’s cash-only cannabis industry on edge.
Pistol-whipped employees. Ceilings shot full of bullet holes. Safes and registers cleaned out at gunpoint.
More than 30 robberies of cannabis companies in a one-month span.
Cannabis companies in Washington state are reporting an increase in armed robberies, forcing business owners to spend more money to safeguard their stores.
Industry executives are rattled by the spate of robberies, in which thieves are targeting the cash-only businesses while other common targets such as banks and convenience stores have less hard currency in the till.
“This crime wave is insane,” said Ian Eisenberg, owner of Uncle Ike’s, a Seattle-based cannabis retailer.
“We’re the only businesses now that have cash. Smaller stores are absolute sitting ducks right now.”
The Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) is calling on Congress to act on banking solutions for the industry.
“The root of the problem is that retailers are a cash-only business because Congress has not acted to allow credit and debit card transactions,” LCB spokesperson Brian Smith wrote in an email to MJBizDaily.
“We urge Congress to address this public safety and common sense issue.”
The U.S. House recently passed a technology innovation bill called the America COMPETES Act that includes the SAFE Banking Act.
SAFE Banking would allow financial institutions to serve cannabis businesses without fear of federal reprisal.
In a memo to licensed marijuana business owners in the state, the LCB said that “while robberies are not exclusive to cannabis retailers, there are inherent risks cash-only businesses have that can make them targets.”
At the same time, the Washington state Senate has passed legislation, SB 5927, that would make the penalty for robbing a marijuana store the same as for a pharmacy robbery by adding a year to the prison sentence for first- or second-degree robbery.
The measure is now before the state House of Representatives.
Tracking the robberies
To help track the number of armed robberies happening across the state, Eisenberg has created a public spreadsheet with the date and time of the robbery and any other relevant details.
While not all the robberies have been verified, the spreadsheet does note when the incident appears in news reports, was confirmed via police scanner or in speaking with the business owner.

Let’s grow better, together!
Take the MJBiz Factbook Survey
A total of 154 robberies are listed since 2017 and nearly 50 since the start of 2022.
Last November, Eisenberg’s store in Lake City was robbed at gunpoint by three suspects.
According to the Seattle Police Department report, the suspects stole more than $7,000 worth of marijuana and product.
One suspect hit a customer in the head and held him captive on the floor with a gun to his neck during the robbery, the report noted.
Eisenberg said employing armed security guards at all his stores is eating up his profits.
The store owner estimates he spent around $350,000-$400,000 in third-party security last year and anticipates he’ll spend three times that much this year.
“It’s a massive expense,” he said.
Worker safety
In its memo to marijuana companies in the state, the LCB suggests a number of ways to increase safety, including:
Developing and reviewing a safety plan that employees are familiar with.
Using drop safes and corresponding signage noting that employees cannot open the safes.
Keeping minimal cash in the register.
Posting signs that say video cameras are in use.
Displaying empty product packaging and keeping the real merchandise in a vault behind a secure window.
“Worker safety is front of mind right now,” said Aaron Pickus, a spokesperson for the Washington CannaBusiness Association.
That’s why federal banking reform for cannabis companies is so important, he added.
“This is a public-safety concern,” Pickus said.

Sha’Carri Richardson, Suspended Over Marijuana, Suggests Racist Double Standard After Olympics Lets Russian Skater Compete Amid Doping Scandal.
“My mother died and I can’t run and was also favored to place top 3,” she wrote, referencing the personal circumstances that she said led her to use cannabis in a legal state last year. “The only difference I see is I’m a black young lady.”
“It’s all in the skin,” Richardson tweeted.
Richardson also pointed out that cannabis is “not a performance enhancing drug.”
The doping drug that Valieva tested positive for using, trimetazidine, is known to increase exercise duration and improve cardiac performance—effects that could ostensibly have helped her, for example, historically land the first quadruple jumps made by a woman in an Olympic event this month.

Got that right. If Biden cared that legalization would improve his rating from the current 40% would grow to 80% if he legalized but he dont care for nothing about people and their weed.
Bidens rating in a few more months of prohibition will PLUNGE to 25% after 420 DAY. He is a space cadet.
Currently CVSI Market Cap: 16.82 M

Back to in the future 2 years from now..... CVSI Market Cap: 10 M
CWBHF Market Cap: 2.8 Billion
None like them bunch of brothers anywhere in the world. Yes give them the reins to this spider and make em stout.
Once upon a time there was Peace on Herb for millions of years till some drinkers that write laws in congress said screw you. Nixon did that, Jimmy Carter wanted to legalize and almost did but them stinkin drinkers screwed him up here is a tune from the times thats everlasting to all the protests in the streets today. CWBHF to a Hundred it goes in my pipe dream.
Congrats to all who held tight. Now lets see the 200 day go out to make for being even for me and a whole bunch of others.
Exactly right. No one who can't pass a piss test starting in 1983 with Ronald and his side kick Nancy with her D.A.R.E. program which turned to be futilely wasting billions of dollars over lifespan. No smart smokers like Carl Sagan for example can work for our government. I pissed in a bottle 50 times or more from 83 to 1998 to draw a paycheck.
Anyway our government is only allowed to hire alcoholics who drink poison thats kills and pill poppers as thats all right. We don't piss test for that. Surrounding D.C. offices is all lunch/dinner bars.
Consequently were are very weak as a nation as all the smart cannabis people by the tens of millions are not allowed to set policy of any sort in congress. Only drinkers are allowed to do that. Now look at us since ww2 a bunch of failed wars and the earths burning down. Drinkers did this are responsible.
Sativa/thc/cbd would calm inflation numbers if only inflation were a real person. Why not? The supreme courts state corporations are and can vote with all the money they want buying congress where the crooks trade stocks left and right on their insider news. How many of them bought weed stocks this week ahead of Schumer news. Bad for them. They should not be allowed benefit off legalization after benefiting owning private prison stock and those millions of piss company offices for profiting off of that. Plus a bunch of these same congress people smoke herb. No wonder no one trusts the government.
Would absolutely love to see the company in the future under the pressure of big deals/acquisitions
We'll cream the jeans, the cats pajamas, all gaps get filled, "All great companies go on to take out old highs." Said the Spider to the fly..................
Molson Coors wants to be with a life giving plant into someones old age as what they sell is a poison which leads to many premature deaths. This offsets?
Schumer does state finalizing this legislation is a priority. "As majority leader, I can set priorities. This is a priority for me,"
Does state the obvious irony of many states being legal in spite of fed prohibition which allows states to handcuff those that like herb where illegal and do no knock raids cause "I smell pot!" Then go home celebrating with alcohol cause busted some dopers.
Outstanding! Outstanding shares being bought on weakness! Outstanding!
Should have been passed long ago. Is nauseating...........
Hahahahahaha, for winning please use a rice paper and will take one Rolled Gold as prize from Acapulco. To light up in front of Mitch and every other prohibitionist that will take this hatred to their grave................... No RIP for them.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Monday condemned House Democrats for including a provision protecting banks that work with state-legal marijuana businesses in a large-scale bill that advanced through the chamber last week, calling it a “poison pill.”
In a speech on the Senate floor, McConnell said that the House-passed America COMPETES Act, which focuses on trade competition with China, “goes out of its way to include provisions on, listen to this, marijuana banking.”
“China has been steadily building up its military and economic might, and the Democrats’ answer is to help Americans get high,” he said, declining to note that the bipartisan Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act to which the provision was attached would not legalize cannabis but simply prevent financial institutions that work with marijuana businesses from being penalized by federal regulators.
Supporters of the banking reform, which is sponsored by Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D-CO), have argued that it is a critical public safety reform that has enjoyed bipartisan support. The congressman has insisted he will explore every avenue possible to get the policy change enacted before he retires from Congress at the session’s end.
But McConnell isn’t having it.
“Democrats plan to combat [fentanyl overdoses] is more marijuana on the side,” he said on the Senate floor. “Needless to say, this is not a winning strategy for global competition between great powers.”
“Any Democrats hoping to yank the bill to the far left, or insert poison pills, are badly, badly mistaken,” the minority leader said.
This isn’t the first time that advocates have heard this type of GOP narrative from legalization opponents in Congress. McConnell and other Republicans levied the same accusations one of the last time that Democrats attempted to insert cannabis banking reform in COVID relief packages last year.
The SAFE Banking Act has now passed the House six times in some form, and advocates are eagerly awaiting to see if the latest innovation and manufacturing package that it’s most recently been attached to will be a more effectively vehicle.
It wasn’t just Republicans who blocked the past attempt to pass the banking reform through broader bills, however. Perlmutter put much blame on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who has insisted that comprehensive legalization that addresses social equity should pass first.
However, Perlmutter told Marijuana Moment at a recent press briefing that he’s open to adding equity provisions to his banking bill if it contains additional equity provisions that could move it through both chambers. The congressman signaled that he’s inclined to incorporate such provisions—and has been in negotiations with Senate leadership on the issue—so long as it doesn’t jeopardize key GOP support.
Schumer announced at a press conference last week that he is aiming to formally file his much-anticipated bill to federally legalize marijuana in April.
McConnell might not currently be in a position to set to legislative agenda in his chamber, but his new protest over the banking reform’s inclusion in the large-scale bill signals that SAFE Banking may well face a fight in bicameral negotiations over the American COMPETES Act.
The Senate already passed its related version of the new innovation bill, with a focus on competing with China on trade, and that legislation does not contain the cannabis banking language. It remains to be seen what will come out of the resulting bicameral negotiations to merge the two forms of the legislation into something to send to the president’s desk.
Veteran Marijuana Lobbyist Launches New ‘BOWL PAC’ To Fight For Legalization And Elect Pro-Reform Politicians.
A new political action committee aimed at electing and educating officials with the aim of ending federal marijuana prohibition launched on Tuesday—with a veteran cannabis lobbyist at its helm.
The Better Organizing to Win Legalization (BOWL) PAC—pun totally intended—is working to build a coalition of other organizations to develop a more targeted approach to legalization in Congress. Some of the ways it hopes to achieve that is by supporting candidates and elected officials who will fight for reform, defeating those who continue to serve as roadblocks and encouraging groups that ostensibly back legalization to be more proactive in the fight.
BOWL PAC is being led by Justin Strekal, who recently departed NORML as its political director after five years working on Capitol Hill to change federal cannabis laws. He told Marijuana Moment in a phone interview on Monday that his unique experience both in the cannabis lobbying space, as well as his involvement in other progressive causes, will set the group up for success.
“I tend to do a whole lot of outreach with other groups that feel comfortable saying that they support marijuana legalization already, but they are not actively engaged in this as a core issue,” he said, adding that BOWL PAC will be “working to bridge that gap and educate other organizations to get more engaged in this effort.”
The 2022 election will be an early challenge for the group. Strekal said that the political landscape will become clearer as summer approaches, at which point the organization will “engage tactically in a number of races to ensure that voters, who may or may not be motivated to go to the polls, will know that through their choice of candidates that legalization is on the battlefield.”
The new outfit has not yet announced details about its fundraising or initial targets for campaign contributions.
For now, however, BOWL PAC has already initiative an online petition to demand that President Joe Biden make good on his cannabis campaign pledge, citing his comments about he belief that nobody should be in jail over marijuana and imploring him to grant clemency to those still behind bars over the plant.
That adds to the chorus of organizations, advocates, celebrities and lawmakers who have been making that specific call throughout Biden’s first year in office.
Strekal said that the decision to form a PAC was deliberate. It offers resources that he says were underutilized at NORML.
“That is why I thought it would be a worthwhile use of my time and skills and relationships to launch this new effort because, at the end of the day, there have not been a robust deploying of resources in the political realm when it comes to supporting reformers and defeating prohibitionists,” he said.

You are very welcome Space. Is known that a strong majority of NFL football players use the herb to recover and even use prior to kickoffs to reduce the anxiety of the huge pressure of packed stands, point spreads, who knows what... Anyway just learned Weed Maps cannot advertise during the Superbowl. Why would that be? Pill companies, illegal states, Police Unions, etc.........
A television commercial from cannabis e-commerce and advertising platform Weedmaps was rejected for Super Bowl airtime by the NFL championship game’s broadcaster, NBC-TV.
The commercial, which does not specifically promote purchasing cannabis, was rejected by NBC after Weedmaps approached the network last year, according to advertising industry news outlet Adweek.
“The answer was a hard no – they wouldn’t even entertain the conversation,” Weedmaps Chief Operating Officer Juanjo Feijoo told Adweek.
Irvine, California-based Weedmaps debuted the 94-second advertisement on YouTube on Monday.
The commercial “addresses the current advertising restrictions imposed on legal cannabis businesses and brands for marketing their products and services,” Weedmaps’ parent company, WM Technology, said in a Monday news release.
The advertisement was “timed to television’s most-watched event of the year,” according to the release, which does not specifically mention Super Bowl LVI.
The game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams will be played Sunday in L.A.
“There’s an irony in the fact that the biggest night for advertising will feature an array of consumer brands in regulated industries, from beverage alcohol to sports betting, yet legal cannabis retailers, brands and businesses have been boxed out,” Weedmaps CEO Chris Beals said in a statement.
Prohibition is a crime against humanity I say I say I say like Foghorn Leghorn.
The medicinal use of cannabis dates back thousands of years. Emperor Shen Nung, the so-called father of Chinese medicine, included cannabis in the country’s pharmacopeia in 2800 B.C. Therapeutic cannabis applications are also referenced in historical texts of Indian Hindus, Assyrians, Greeks, Romans, and others. Cannabis was introduced to Western medicine in 1841 by William Blake O’Shaughnessy, and for the next 100 years it was used for a variety of ailments including arthritis, depression, inflammation, pain and appetite stimulation.
Beginning in the late 1930s, a prohibitionist fever swept through the United States and cannabis was demonized. The Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 effectively taxed medicinal cannabis out of existence, while the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 formally put the nail in the coffin, arguing that cannabis had no medicinal value and that cannabis had a high potential for abuse. This classification of cannabis as a schedule I drug persists to this day and places grass in the same company as heroin and meth.
Beginning with California’s Compassionate Use Act of 1996, the pendulum swung yet again and medicinal cannabis came back into the fold. Since then, 36 states have legalized medical pot, while 18 have also allowed for adult use or recreational consumption. Given that cannabis is still illegal at the federal level, national research and development efforts have lagged. Fortunately, research among some states and in nations like Canada and Israel has exploded in recent years, providing real credibility to the concept of cannabis as medicine.
Opponents of cannabis often argue against medicinal use, saying that the very notion is ridiculous. While it’s true that some individuals used medical cannabis permits to grow and sell weed illegally, dismissing the medical benefits of cannabis is short-sighted and outdated. I, like millions of others around the globe, have seen the medicinal benefits of cannabis firsthand.
My mother was terribly ill when being ravaged by cancer treatments for a second time. Suffering from severe nausea, pain, loss of appetite, and trouble sleeping, she had been prescribed liquid morphine and strong nausea meds. These conventional treatments didn’t work and also became habit-forming. Watching mom suffer and getting strung out on pharmaceuticals was intolerable, so I spearheaded a medicinal cannabis program for her. During chemotherapy, she would vaporize strong cannabis flower for nausea relief and appetite stimulation. Post-treatment, she transitioned to edibles and Rick Simpson Oil capsules to help with pain management, sleep and depression. Through consistent and measured cannabis dosing, mom weaned off the narcotics entirely and passed with a much greater level of personal dignity.
In terms of my situation, I suffered from a hip dislocation years ago. I had both hips reset so many times I was bruising from the inside out and was in constant pain. I had trouble walking, sitting, and standing, and lived with acute pain for approximately three years. I believe strongly in cannabis as a tool for harm reduction and chose to consume ganja over a combination of narcotics, muscle relaxers, and OTC pain meds. While the cannabis didn’t remove the pain entirely, it took the edge off and reduced pain-induced nausea significantly. What I know with certainty is that if I had consumed pharmaceuticals for those few years, I would have become highly dependent on them and my quality of life would have been further reduced.
Fortunately, cannabis research is currently undergoing a renaissance around the globe. Here in the United States, a recent change to longstanding Federal policy promises to bolster efforts to study the plant and its medical benefits. Since 1968 U.S. cannabis researchers had only one source for product, the University of Mississippi. As such, supply was limited for years. The DEA has recently opened the doors for research-driven grower applications and a couple have already been issued, with more to come. The move strengthens the supply of cannabis for research and development and offers real hope for those seeking alternative medical solutions.
The list of potential therapeutic applications for cannabis is highly promising. Studies are currently underway regarding the ability of cannabis to treat a range of serious ailments. CBD or cannabidiol is a non-psychoactive component of the plant garnering significant attention. CBD is being studied for relief from insomnia, anxiety, spasticity, pain, and other health conditions. Remarkably, CBD has also shown huge promise in relation to Dravet Syndrome, an aggressive form of childhood epilepsy.
Famously, the story of a young girl named Charlotte Figi helped cement CBD oil as a breakthrough treatment offering hope to thousands of families across the world. Charlotte was suffering from hundreds of seizures a month and had limited function before experimenting with CBD. After initiating a daily CBD program, her seizures dropped to a couple per month and her quality of life was radically improved. Frankly, it saddens and disgusts me to know that some people, even in light of this clinical evidence, would prefer condemning a child to a death sentence rather than exploring a cannabis-derived treatment.
THC, the cannabis compound known for getting you high, also shows enormous potential for improving health and wellness. THC is being explored as a tool for managing Fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s, Glaucoma, PTSD, HIV-associated pain and wasting syndrome, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Crohn’s, Multiple Sclerosis, chronic pain, nausea, and many more.
While still in the early innings, some research indicates that combined loads of THC and CBD have been shown to slow or stop the growth of some cancer cells in lab settings. Calls for increasing R&D in this area are growing. In fact, “the American Cancer Society supports the need for more scientific research on cannabinoids for cancer patients and recognizes the need for better and more effective therapies that can overcome the often-debilitating side effects of cancer and its treatment. The Society also believes that the classification of marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance by the US Drug Enforcement Administration imposes numerous conditions on researchers and deters scientific study of cannabinoids. Federal officials should examine options consistent with federal law for enabling more scientific study on marijuana.” Amen!
Additionally, terpenes, or naturally occurring compounds found in plants, are garnering lots of attention for their medicinal properties. Cannabis has numerous terpenes, some of which are being explored for anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticonvulsive, antidepressant, anticancer, antitumor, anti-allergic, antibiotic, anti-diabetic, and neuroprotective attributes. Emerging science also indicates that the interplay between terpenes and cannabinoids like THC improves and enhances the efficacy of cannabis as medicine. This is why I prefer consuming full-spectrum products like live resin cartridges, ice hash gummies, and full-term organic flower grown in native soil.
The concept of medicinal cannabis is difficult for some to accept. Long-held stereotypes demonizing the use of cannabis have been prevalent to differing degrees around the world, and that won’t change overnight. Thankfully legalization and a growing body of evidence suggesting that cannabis can treat a host of serious ailments are helping break down barriers and allowing for more meaningful and truthful dialogue around the issues of health and wellness. More and more individuals have come to realize that Western Medicine and our reliance on powerful and politically connected pharmaceutical giants can be a losing proposition. Expensive and potentially harmful lab products have been favored over a more natural, holistic approach to healing and this has to end. I expect meaningful progress in cannabis R&D over the coming months and welcome the advances and treatment options this will bring.

Ah,,,, the spiders news is always fluffed up. I get it now and will hold share tighter.
Fluffy - Usually describing a person or a behavior that is soft, cute and anything unmanly. Normally seen as an insult or an embarrassment.
Hahahahahahahaha! Nothing "fluff" about CBD and Covid. Shorts are going to be hating life when Spiders start gap openings for the next ten years minus a few days.
Or nothing fluff about legalization. Pick either or,,,, both will drive spiders haters to lunacy.
Lets go is right! Or be caught absent without leave papers! Hahahaa seems like prohibition is now going to be over as the herb is one of Gods blessings more and more people realize this every day. This year is the year all breaks open Biden the dumb ass will go in history books as the President who legalized prohibitionist that he is. Ironic.
Will be interesting to see who is posting a year from now, currently naysayers are common preying on towel throwers never minding all the new buys on quadruple bottoms, shares that are now presumably help tight time the truth teller.
