REST OF WEEK- EARNING ANNOUNCEMENT FOR FRIDAY-COULD AUDIT BE IN?LETS SEE-MOMENTUM IS GREAT
WEDNESDAY IS THE DAY DREAMS ARE MADE OF-SELLING NOW IS SIMPLY NOT SMART AT ALL.
selling today is simply not a good idea at all...
load the boat ....
like every week or every other week by looking at the news releases.they are pretty consistent
yeah they have Many subsidiaries that are very real and verifiable
A good year for them- this went so under the radar and I feel totally for a reason. So many other companies. this industry don't do half as much or have as many subsidiaries
I agree 100% on that GO MJNA
NEWS THIS WEEK. setting up-HEXO
sector is up MJNA down as usual. too cheap too bloated. No matter what they do no one is interested in trading. needs a reverse split and an audit
totally- I am only putting profits from other stocks into MJNA. they get no hard earned money from me. if we were at a casino this would be a penny slot sitting in the corner. I have only 400k here
.
for a tad bit longer... just hold it
still holding and waiting with a few hundred thousand. MJNA on flatline for now. made a nice hunk on FAZ and then HEXO- bought a bit more here with the profit- adding here with profit from other stocks. Even if this splits my shares come from trading so its a win win no matter the price.
I changed my mind because they will reverse split first- count on it. imho
They do but they respond to absolutely no one. this company gets what it deserves. everyone hates it at this point even investors like me who tout it. Late filing means they are USING COVID -19 AS AN EXCUSE TO NOT FILE. I have my own business and I filed on time. They simply do not care about me or anyone else that's for sure. They boast about being a company of First which seems to be a joke but it isn't. The are now a company of lasts because they are in last place. LOOK AT THE F-ING PRICE. It says they have 960 investors. Well that's 960 investors not buy-in g MJNA product and telling all their friend ate buy other products and boycott this one. What carless management. The companies attitude to us is reflected back but in a much more devastating outcome because we all then despise MJNA. this was my last time here. I will remain with a few hundred thousand shares for fun but sold 1.5 million today because this company sucks. Other CBD companies are way better than this sunk boat. I give up.....
ONLY WAY THIS GOES UP IS WHEN THEY FILE LIKE THEY SAID THEY WOUKLD DO-UNTIL THEN SOME BUY AND HOLD AS THIS SITS IN PARK. IF YOU WANT TO, DO AS ONE WISHES
yes they know this I am sure- On facebook give them hell..
from some of the press releases I feel this time they are trying. They hired a great team to take care of this process. In researching the company that is doing this becomes interesting. They have been giving other hints. I feel some know what is transpiring and hopefully this time coming to fruition. Its a hard one but at this price its totally not justified by their portfolio. This is like buying a startup or a BK company that isn't either of those. I feel the risk versus reward is lesser than. When they do file with the SEC it seems a penny stock given that this will most likely double- quadruple at a minimum. It will happen in my opinion. Key is to buy and hold and watch the chart make its story. I like it anywhere below 10 cents. But if and when filed this should then be priced accordingly. Compared to ACB OR CVSI. MJNA even with 3.5 billion OS it should be 20 -30 cents. I don't think that's far off when the books are transparent.
I agree they have some plans here. By seeing what their subsidiaries are doing. And what is hidden in plain sight for some financial wizards this will have its day very very soon!!! just watch or get involved I always say. cheers ...
Wow that's awesome news- I want more shares I will keep supporting.
this is great its like buying into a startup that's not a startup. When i try to go down I throw in support because I have money to keep support. this is so dang cheap its unbelievable

How to Best Use CBD During the Coronavirus Outbreak"As the world slows down and many people go on lockdown, using CBD oil can be a beneficial tool to promote balance and wellness in you, your family members, and even your pet.
It’s clear that we as a human community have not experienced anything quite like what we are facing today. While there have been mass epidemics in the past, the newest coronavirus (COVID-19) has us all collectively taking a pause and learning new ways to take care of ourselves.
During this period of social distancing, self-care is more important than ever. While staying connected through phone calls, social media, and apps like Facetime can prove to be very helpful for mental well being, we want to share a few ways CBD oil can promote health and wellness during these particularly tough times.
How You Can Benefit from Daily Servings of CBD Oil
Everyone is feeling the ramifications of the coronavirus outbreak in ways small and large. With the weight of self-isolation, disruptions to many work schedules, and the uneasiness that comes with daily news updates, it’s no wonder we’re all feeling a bit unbalanced.
In the midst of all of this, slowing down and putting our health first right now is paramount. You may need to take a step back, limit distractions, and focus on healthy behaviors like meditation, exercise, journaling, sleep, nutritious eating, and limiting screen time.
Adding CBD oil to your everyday self-care routine can also prove to be a highly effective and efficient way to encourage balance in your life right now. CBD oil is an all-natural, non-intoxicating extract of the common hemp plant that provides your body with the balancing benefits of CBD and a wide array of beneficial plant-based nutrients that support a complete diet.
CBD helps naturally promote homeostasis by providing support to your body’s endocannabinoid system, a major regulatory network responsible for maintaining homeostasis so that functions can perform more optimally. A long list of functions is kept in check by a well-operating endocannabinoid system, helping you feel better every day.
As you face the unique challenges of this unprecedented time, we have developed a list of ways CBD oil can benefit you while you stay in, stay connected, and stay healthy. https://420intel.com/articles/2020/03/25/how-best-use-cbd-during-coronavirus-outbreak

not a HEMP inc owner - but he has been seen many times over and over on video in Oregon. he isn't too hard to find. as fas as MJNA he most likely doesn't have any stock anymore..
same here ACB ...MJNA sold a bit from .0132-.0135
But its a good time to get in...its going up today. I have to sell at higher if you want....
Only way to get this out of the dregs is AUDIT and perhaps a reverse split.... I have expressed what I feel the problem is but its hard to even see if they listen. Its frustrating indeed because this should be valued properly. I guess it is valued where market had it. MJNA has been punished..
MJNA'S foot already thru-door-Mexico’s legalization of hemp, marijuana could be ‘quite significant’ for US markets Mexico is poised to become the world’s most-populous country with legal marijuana and hemp next month – and, unlike its northern neighbor, Mexico is setting nationwide regulations to cover all forms of cannabis, no matter the THC content, instead of having a patchwork of laws for the two plants.
That could potentially open more business opportunities in the cannabis industry, with the potential for Mexico to export and import from places worldwide where the plants are legal. Mexico does not currently allow hemp cultivation.
“The impact would be quite significant,” said Lisa Pittman, a longtime cannabis attorney at the Texas-based Coats Rose law firm.
“The other countries that have already legalized cannabis – Canada and Uruguay – have populations much smaller than Mexico, and Mexico already has quite a history of using cannabis and shipping cannabis across our borders.”
She added that the United States’ federal prohibition on marijuana – and, until recently, hemp – has presented “obstacles to banking and capital-raising and taxation.”
It could take years for Mexico to set up regulations for how hemp and marijuana business can grow and sell cannabis products. But some of Mexico’s biggest retail chains already are interested in carrying CBD beverages and topicals, hemp manufacturers in the U.S. say.
“We’re getting calls from retailers, wholesalers, distributors and so on that are interested and know that there’s going to be a big demand in Mexico,” said Christian Patiño Webb, executive vice president of Day One, a Los Angeles company that makes CBD-infused sparkling water.
He declined to specify exact retailers, citing ongoing negotiations.
As in the U.S., some independent retailers in Mexico already sell CBD products, even though it’s not a completely government-regulated market in either country.
Indeed, hemp businesses and entrepreneurs are losing patience with regulators and have started to blame the federal government’s delays for layoffs at their companies.
“The United States market is going to be further hindered as it is surrounded on both sides by countries that can produce legal cannabis on a large-scale basis and can export that cannabis to other countries that have also legalized it, too,” Pittman said.
Mexico’s population is 130 million, compared with Canada’s 37.6 million and Uruguay’s 3.5 million. Legalization in Mexico is expected to happen by April 30 – the deadline the country’s Supreme Court set for lawmakers to act.
“So this bill will basically legalize all uses (and) grants or classifies the types of licenses that will be available, which are five,” said Luis Armendáriz, an attorney in Chihuahua, Mexico, who is affiliated with Denver’s Hoban Law Group.
“One for import and export of products; a second for transformation; the third for sale or commercialization; the fourth for cultivation and the last one for research.”
Although Mexico currently does not allow hemp cultivation, it can be imported as raw material for construction or textile, Armendáriz said.
A cannabis agency would be created to regulate commercial opportunities and issue licenses for each activity. The agency would regulate all forms of cannabis.
The Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in 2018 said it was unconstitutional to ban the use of cannabis for personal use, “under the theory of free development of personality, which sounds a lot like (the United States’) Bill of Rights, the right to the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness,” Pittman said.
The bill making its way through Mexico’s Congress establishes hemp as a “nonpsychoactive” form of cannabis, putting a 1% THC limit on the plant. Adults would be able to possess up to 28 grams and grow four plants personally, with a limit of six plants per household.
The proposed legislation also envisions dispensaries and, potentially, cannabis clubs.
And, for the first five years of the proposed program, 40% of the cultivation licenses would go to people who can show they were somehow harmed by the prohibition on cannabis.

CANNABIS AND CORONAVIRUS: CONSIDERATIONS AND TIPS ON SAFETY- Amid a pandemic, many cannabis users are relying on the potential health benefits from cannabis more than ever. What ways can consumers prioritize self-care while continuing to safely utilize marijuana?
There is no denying that the latest coronavirus (COVID-19) is making an impact around the world. The suggested trends of social distancing, quarantining, or staying away from large groups can be devastating to those who rely on social interaction for emotional and mental support. In this time of change, it’s important to remember self-care is an act of health.
While something as trivial as a cough can now set off an alarm for those concerned about the coronavirus, how can cannabis consumers stay healthy?
In an effort to support those who rely on marijuana for its myriad of health and wellness qualities, we have compiled a list of some information to keep in mind as we move through this changing landscape together.
Cannabis and the Coronavirus
Let’s address the number one question being asked right now– Can marijuana cure coronavirus?
Let’s be clear, there is no cure for the COVID-19 at this time, and while marijuana can be beneficial in many ways, there is no evidence that it is a cure for the virus either.
However, many medical marijuana patients rely on cannabis for all types of health issues. Some 3.7 million Americans use marijuana for medical purposes, and recreational marijuana users also look to cannabis to improve their quality of life.
Many people regularly use cannabis in an effort to promote and maintain overall health, regardless of the presence of a pandemic. Cannabis contains more than 100 cannabinoids, which stimulate and support the body’s endocannabinoid system. A healthy endocannabinoid system, also known as the EC system, has the potential to significantly impact the way our bodies maintain wellness. It’s responsible for regulating balance in our bodies, ensuring that many of our functions are operating optimally.
So while there’s no evidence to suggest that marijuana can kill the coronavirus, it’s not surprising that many people are stocking up to make sure they have the cannabis products they have come to rely on for health.
How to Consume Cannabis and Stay Healthy During Coronavirus
Is puff, puff, pass, a thing of the past? According to a report on U.S. government tests from the New York Post, the new coronavirus has the potential to live in the air for several hours and on some surfaces for as long as two to three days.
With the timeless tradition of communal cannabis activities being called into question, how can cannabis use be done in a safer way, right now?
Stop Sharing Joints and Vape Pens
While cleaning pipes, bongs, and vapes may be helpful, the best way to ensure no germs are being spread during social smoking or inhaling cannabis is to stop sharing joints or vape pens. It’s okay to be “stingy” with your cannabis when it comes to health. During these times, sharing is not caring.
It’s important to note here that if vaping is an option you are considering, picking a quality vape oil is just as important as ever. The recent vape health crisis that led to lung injuries has been linked to synthetic or counterfeit products. Get some tips on the best vape pens for beginners and how to find the right vaporizer for you.
Regularly Wash Your Hardware
Help ensure that your vaporizers, bongs, bowls, and pipes are sterile by cleaning them frequently. Coronavirus can survive for up to four hours on copper surfaces and up to a few days on plastic and stainless steel. Use a cleaning solution with a high percentage of isopropyl alcohol and be sure to wipe thoroughly the entirety of your vaping or smoking accessory, not just the mouthpiece. The Higher Standards Supreme Clean Kit offers everything you need for a proper cleaning ritual.
Consider Non-Inhalation Consumption Methods
While smoking is a favorite and timeless way of consuming cannabis, experts suggest not smoking while feeling under the weather, even when it’s just a normal cold or flu. Not to mention, one study found that smoking history increases the severity of respiratory symptoms related to COVID-19.
There are amazing options other than vaping or inhaling when it comes to consuming cannabis. Non-traditional forms of consuming cannabis are available right now and come in all sorts of shapes and potency options. Use this time to try something new like marijuana edibles, cannabis oils, or get wild and craft your own CBD quarantine mocktail.

Use Cannabis While Facetiming or Skyping With Friends
The need for social distancing is real. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends keeping at least six feet apart from others to reduce the risk of transmission. Shutdowns and shelter-in-place orders are happening all across the country, which means sharing cannabis with friends and loved ones will have to wait.
Still, a sense of community has long been at the center of cannabis use, so to still partake in the group-oriented practice but safely, try Facetiming or Skyping with those who you usually enjoy your cannabis with.
Only Buy Cannabis From Trusted Sources
With longer lines and consumers stockpiling products, you may be tempted to turn to the illegal market. It’s always important to only buy from trusted cannabis sources and to choose products that have been independently tested by a laboratory to ensure they’re free of molds and pesticides, which can adversely affect your immune system.
Wash Your Hands, and Then Do It Again
Handwashing is self-care at its finest. The Center For Disease Control is pleading for more Americans to practice better handwashing to help prevent transmission of the coronavirus, as well as other ailments. If all that handwashing leaves your skin dry, keep a jar of CBD oil salve nearby to nourish and hydrate troubled areas.
And while your hands may be clean, due to your awesome, updated handwashing skills, others may have not been practicing with the same commitment. For now, it’s best to stop shaking hands. Try new ways to show love and acknowledge your neighbors or friends. Try a new wave, a friendly verbal greeting, or bring out that show-stopping eye wink you’ve been practicing.
Pursue Curbside Service and Delivery Options
Americans are responding to the spread of the coronavirus by stocking up on cannabis, boosting cannabis sales and forcing cannabis businesses to figure out new ways to get their product to consumers.
Thankfully, cannabis dispensaries are continuing to adjust accommodate coronavirus-related safety precautions like extra cleaning regimens and social distancing. Look into whether your dispensary offers services like curbside transactions or delivery.
In states like Colorado where cannabis delivery is not yet legal, stores are offering customers the chance to order online and pick up at express windows. In Washington, some dispensaries have implemented a mandatory pre-order system and are limiting the number of customers in the store at one time.
You may also live in a state where leaders have responded by allowing cannabis dispensaries to adjust to curbside cannabis pickup. In Michigan, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed off on allowing licensed cannabis retailers to set up delivery services, and curbside pickups, to adapt sales in reaction to the call for social distancing. Illinois is following suit with curbside pickups.
Leafly has put out a list of cannabis dispensaries in each legal state. Find out if your local cannabis dispensary is open and if they provide delivery or curbside pickup, here.

it is an apparent double at least from here. too many positives happening to keep this here at way below value level. With all the other listed subsidiaries they have at higher prices with equal value to the mother company does not add up one bit. This isn't a scam and neither are the other listed companies they have under their belt. all this needs is its audit and then corrects big time, and I mean way over corrects. 7-10 cents is not out the question. smooth move is to buy right here right now, which I have been doing. its hard to even flip now at these levels. I have tried a tad bit and see what is going on by the number ticking. MJNA/s value should include the other companies. MJNA should be 250 million book value with audit. Minimum
agree
someone using ALPS for market manipulation. watching this very very closely. SEC and ALPS getting a call fro me... NITE and ALPS for sure being market manipulation buddies... so easy to seee. doing test sells to watch them at work. I am not trying to sell any, but can manipulate bids and asks to see what they do. its obvious.

Kannalife doing exactly this/ How CBD can help improve the immune system
by Formula Swiss June 17, 2019
CBD is researched day and night in order to reveal its hidden qualities. Besides being famous for dealing with mental, heart and other diseases, it also has a very positive impact on the human immune system. Since the immune system is responsible in order to detect any diseases and help to fight and provide protection against diseases. Immune system detects the upcoming dangers to the health of a person and makes the body ready to defend itself. The immune system should be able to maintain a balance of self-defense without causing self-harm, when the immune system does not perform up to the mark then the immune response is weakened which leads to autoimmunity. Autoimmunity causes an attack on healthy tissues which results in numerous autoimmune diseases including cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis, allergies and various inflammation diseases.
The immune system and cannabinoids
As cannabinoids are available in various systems of the body, the immune system also tends to work optimally by the functions performed by endocannabinoids. Though additional research is required in order to study the relation of the immune system with the endocannabinoid system, it is still concluded that targeted cannabinoids like CBD help in reducing autoimmune responses and inflammatory responses which are the main reason for sclerosis, cancer and HIV.
CBD and the immune system
Studies reveal that CBD possesses anti-inflammatory properties, which can be helpful in suppressing the immune system by reducing inflammation. As most of the autoimmune diseases are caused by inflammation, CBD tends to be very effective in strengthening the immune system. CBD is an immune suppressor so it has positive effects when the immune system becomes hyperactive or weakened. A hyperactive immune system causes overreaction when met with allergens or diseases and can even self-harm the body. As the case of multiple sclerosis, in which the immune system becomes hyperactive and damages the central nervous system by destroying nerve fibers and scar tissues. Recently, CBD has been proven to be effective in reducing the pain in patients of multiple sclerosis by improving mobility.
CBD and inflammation
Inflammation, besides its negative aspects, is vital for the immune system to inhibit infections. Inflammation is the immune response required to stop the diseases from spreading by isolating the damaged and infected cells. Therefore, inflammation is needed to fight certain diseases in the body and preventing it can weaken the immune system. However, CBD can also be used to maintain a balance between the functions of the immune system.
CBD and cancer
A weakened immune system leads to cancer, and CBD is also able to fight cancer by strengthening the immune system. One of the functions of the immune system is to tell the unhealthy and aged cells about their time to self-destruct. As with cancer, the damaged cells forget their ability to self-regulate and the disease spread quickly in the body due to the proliferation of the cells. Animal and laboratory studies show that CBD help in the self-destruction of the damaged cells, which lead to apoptosis, and eventually a reduction of the tumor growth. Metastasis was also a result of the mice study that reduced the spreading of cancerous cells. Thus the immune system is strengthened and it also reduces nausea, vomiting and various conditions caused by chemotherapy in the cancer patients.

CBD-MJNA-Relations-COVID-19 and cannabis: can CBD be used to help ward off or treat the coronavirus?
by John Lucas on March 20th, 2020 at 1:01 PM A few proponents of CBD have claimed that the non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis can help prevent or fight coronavirus infection. Mona Lisa Healing, a Vancouver-based CBD-oil brand headed by rocker Bif Naked, has sent out promotional emails promising that its products can "help your body defend against COVID-19 coronavirus".
Asked to interpret the coronavirus-era cannabis-buying spikes, Connors first used the term “panic buying,” then back-tracked. “I think there is probably a fair amount [of buying] due to recreation; this isn’t all due to anxiety,” she said.
Interestingly, much of the spike is CBD-based, indicating that people may be trying to treat their anxiety rather than get high. “We are seeing [non-THC] CBD rolls grow fast,” Connor said, “as opposed to sativa [products], which were only up 25 percent.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/joanoleck/2020/03/19/its-not-just-toilet-paper-and-sanitizer-consumers-are-also-stocking-up-on-cannabis/#460558e45978
Stressed Austin shoppers turn to CBD to treat coronavirus jitters When Alamo Drafthouse announced Monday that it had shut down theaters in Austin to slow the coronavirus pandemic, employees at the South Lamar Boulevard location went to a CBD shop next door to clear their heads.
“They said they were looking for some relief,” said Hannah Wanegar, who was working that night at Greenbelt Botanicals.
The state ban on gatherings of more than 10 people has forced closures of gyms and bars, leaving some in Austin to turn to CBD, or cannabidiol, to manage heightened levels of stress. The number of shops that sell CBD has dramatically increased in Austin since last summer when Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill legalizing hemp and derivatives such as CBD with less than 0.3% of THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol.
Although the federal government says it’s illegal to market CBD as a dietary supplement, store owners and some doctors swear by its benefits. They say it calms the central nervous system without the intoxicating effects of THC, the component that produces the high in marijuana — which remains illegal in Texas for recreational use.
Danielle Cearbaugh, owner of Joy Organics on the west end of downtown, said she sold CBD products this week to a man whose stocks took a nosedive and to a woman whose young children were home from school and getting under her skin.
