Yeah right! Since when do they let felons sell marijuana?
Thank you for showing an example of how MJNA sells stock on riding others coattails !
Riding coattails is a metaphor that refers to the way in which lower level or uninspiring celebrities can often reach stardom through their ties to another, more popular and successful celebrity. This can often be used as a generic phrase for anyone that hangs onto another person as they forge ahead, without effort from the hanger-on.

Exactly what does felon Bruce do for medical marijuana patients besides trying to rip them off selling stock?
Enjoy an emerging market discussion
Real,fake,scam or ?
Yes scam. Pumpers now. This my is my board.
Soon no bid and peeps telling bigger stories like they got filled @.00001 and then sold at .0001?
As long as is doesn't become the main focus of discussions
Only During market hours let people post other companies here?
Please check all weapons at the door ;)

They lie about marijuana. Tell you pot-smoking makes you unmotivated. Lie! When you're high, you can do everything you normally do, just as well. You just realize that it's not worth the funking effort. There is a difference.

MJNA is a scam

Good pump and dump for small companies.
And what does felon Bruce Inc have to do with Marijuana?

Almost like you are jealous.

ok I see you are still awake.

So what do you think about HESG?
You awake?
hmmm. No more pump and dump PRs from Bruce about prop 19? I wonder what his next pump will be?
Sheesh. He didn't even PR that the Halloween Pontiac Silverdome Pot Fest was terminated; But he as always puts out a lot of misleading Press Releases to sell stock.

Problem with HESG's website.
Cant access or nonexistent:
http://www.igohealthy.org/
Your crew?
No word from this CEO about how if he is for or against Prop 19?
gee-whiz- I just noticed MJNA ended red yesterday?
So this is the current pump and dump. Pink Sheets Bruce is betting on CALs vote tomorrow to dump more stock. But dont worry if Prop 19 doesn't pass. Bruce will find more forwarding looking statements to dump stock on.
Anyway. Did you miss the last desperate pump and dump PR from Bruce tonight?
So funny. In the beginning he would send out PRs at 4:20 AM. He must be stoned tonight to forget that 420
hat-trick on election day.
So what? Feds will cut funds to CA?
"Every anti-cannabis law on the books today will remain unchanged if Prop
19 passes with a single exception: a new offense is added, Health
& Safety Code §11361(c) which provides that a person 21 or older who
gives less than an ounce of cannabis to a person 18-21 ... is guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to 6 months ...in jail
and a $1000 fine. Under current law, the offense would call for a $100
maximum fine and no jail."

Your shit about other posters is off topic
Poor "king" can't vote because he is a felon but he can send out PRs to dump stock.
This guys a genius and legend in his own time!
Change to- "a legend in his own mind"

Dear Examining Attorney Yard,
Please accept this cover letter as my response to your office action dated 04/25/2010 concerning my pending service mark application “THE KING OF POT” with serial #-77/900,965.
With respect, I need to know why the registered mark THE KING OF CANNABIS was NOT cited during the initial examination.
Further, why did it take a LETTER OF PROTEST to change the results of this initial examination?
(1) I herein DISAGREE with your statement: “previous allowance count has been withdrawn” and I also DISAGREE with the “NEW ISSUE”-section 2(D) REUSAL.
(2) I also DISAGREE with your statement: “the following issue not previously raised by the examining attorney has been noted through routine administrative review”.
(3) I DO AGREE with: Date: March 24, 2010; an initial examination was conducted by the examining attorney and found:
OFFICE SEARCH: The examining attorney has searched the Office’s database of registered and pending marks and has found no conflicting marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d). 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); TMEP §704.02.
I accepted these comments because I agree there are NO conflicting marks.
(4) I ALSO AGREED with the AMENDMENT:
The identification of goods is amended to read as follows: “Business consultation services in the field of marijuana, hemp and medical marijuana.” See TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.01(e).
(5) I FURTHER AGREED with:
The following disclaimer statement is added to the record: No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “POT” apart from the mark as shown.

IC 043. US 100 101. G & S: Restaurant services for providing food and drink
(6) I did a search to see if the owner/applicant of “THE KING OF CANNABIS” is, or has been, actively selling clothing in the USA in IC class #25 and could NOT find anything.
All I did find was A SEED BANK.
If “THE KING OF CANNABIS” is selling “Marijuana seeds and/or importing said seeds into the USA then they have a BIG problem; especially with the interstate commerce sale of seeds.
Please show me on the internet, or anyplace in the USA, where “THE KING OF CANNABIS” is advertising and selling, in IC #25: “clothing, namely, shirts, shorts, trousers, dresses and skirts; footwear, headwear” or the like?
I also did NOT find any active services on the internet or rendered in the USA in IC #35: “Advertising; business management; business administration; office functions, retail store services featuring clothing, smokers articles, jewelry, gardening suppliers, furniture, kitchenware, picture postcards and posters”
Please show me on the internet, or in the USA, where “THE KING OF CANNABIS” is rendering the service in IC #43: “Restaurant services for providing food and drink”.
The applicant ONLY sells Marijuana seeds. Their website does NOT show anything for sale other than seeds.
I am under the impression in order to receive Federal protection in the USA the BRAND NAME had to be ACTIVELY in use within the USA and Interstate commerce had to be claimed with a date of first use.
Please explain the answers to my points of interest?
(7) Please keep in mind I have the COMMON LAW RIGHTS for the use of my BRAND NAME “The King of Pot” dating back to January 01, 1978.
(8) I also DISAGREE with the LETTER OF PROTEST that was filed on April 20, 2010 wherein Attorney Epstein stated: “the proposed mark is inherently descriptive”.
If THE KING OF POT is inherently descriptive; surely THE KING OF CANNABIS is also!
Page 2 of 3
One of my former dysfunctional employee’s, Clifford Perry, had his boyfriend hire Epstein & Epstein to file the LETTER OF PROTEST. This is NOT right.
(9) I further DISAGREE with the examiners statement: “The following issue not previously raised by the examining attorney has been noted through routine administrative review and is now raised for the first time.”
The examiner reviewed the original application and set the publication of the mark and then allowed the PROTEST. This is NOT fair. The protester should have waited until the 30 day PUBLICATION period like everybody else.
(10) I further DISAGREE with the examiners statement: “likelihood of confusion”. There is NO likelihood of confusion. Phonically the word POT and CANNABIS do NOT sound the same.
(11) I DISAGREE with the examiners statement: “The terms POT and CANNABIS each connote marijuana”. Both are used in the field of marijuana and BOTH were DISCLAIMED in their applications. So what we are really dealing with is the first three words of both BRAND NAMES: “The King of”. There are other marks using “The King of”
Further; the statement: “likely that a potential consumer would be confused or mistaken or deceived as to the source of the goods and/or services” is not agreed with.
As already mentioned, the CANNABIS application does NOT show any use of their mark in the USA. My mark is constantly in the news and advertised here in the USA. I see NO way a consumer could be confused as the CANNABIS application is NOT using their trade or service mark BRAND NAME here in the USA.
(12) I further DISAGREE with your statement: “similarity of the marks, similarity of the goods and/or services, and similarity of trade channels of the goods and/or services”. There are NO similarities as the CANNABIS owner is NOT using their BRAND NAME mark here in the USA.
Having answered to all of the examiners points I herein respectively will consider my original application be amended to SUPPLEMENTAL register.
Thanks for your help with my application.
