Watch one of the many videos of Robert Melamede explaining how cannabinoids work and what amazing compounds they are to see how truly heartfelt he is about this. This man has a passion, the timing is right, and Cannabis Science is positioning itself perfectly.
What's it going to take for CBIS to start trading like normal?
What kind of hurdles are ahead in regards to the FDA, etc.?
Oh snap, missed that one. Got a good link for the info? Thanks.
Anyone know what caused AUD/USD to jump so drastically on the 18th?
.0015 (4) x .0016 (1)
Only one MM under .002, NITE at .0016
Looking good.
That .0004 bid is pretty strong. Getting sells at .0004 and someone actually increased the ask.
.0004 (5) x .0005 (3)
Exactly, which is most likely why the PPS is holding where it is. Especially considering the past runs that have occurred, why not wait it out?
To be honest it seems like if it was going back to .0001 it would already be there. I mean, after them not following through with the stated financial release date and it still didn't go to .0001, I don't see it happening. Obviously not many people are eager to sell at the prices or else it would have been .0001 a long time ago.
The ask was two deep at .0007 the whole time, was watching it on Power Etrade Pro. Not sure what you guys were talking about.
I'll try to work something in, thanks for the suggestion!
Kind of on hold for the moment, been kept busy with work. Still need to piece together the actual wording and figure out the best way to put it together online so people can sign, count will be tallied, etc.
KOOL's hanging in there, though it didn't have as drastic a jump as ACTC. I think we're just correcting for the huge jump this morning.
On the 26th of January we had 50m volume and hit .29
Today more people than ever should be discovering stem cell stocks, in particular ACTC.
We're just over 30m volume so far today.
.15's are getting hit hard.
Afternoon volume? (He did do the speech while everyone was at lunch)
People are crazy nuts silly stupid wild.
Strange.
What will change? New stem cell lines.

WASHINGTON, June 20 — President Bush on Wednesday issued his second veto of a measure lifting his restrictions on human embryonic stem cell experiments. The move effectively pushed the contentious scientific and ethical debate surrounding the research into the 2008 presidential campaign.
“Destroying human life in the hopes of saving human life is not ethical,” Mr. Bush said in a brief ceremony in the East Room of the White House. He called the United States “a nation founded on the principle that all human life is sacred.”
At the same time, Mr. Bush issued an executive order intended to encourage scientists to pursue other forms of stem cell research that he does not deem unethical. But that research is already going on, and the plan provides no new money.
Advocates for embryonic stem cell research called the new plan a ploy to distract from Mr. Bush’s opposition to the studies.
“I think the president has issued a political fig leaf,” said Sean Tipton, spokesman for the Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research, an advocacy group. “He knows he’s on the wrong side of the American public.”
The veto, only the third of Mr. Bush’s presidency, puts him at odds not only with the majority of voters, according to polls, but also with many members of his own political party. Republicans sent him a similar measure last year when they controlled Congress. But even with considerable support from the Republican minority this year, Democrats concede they do not have enough votes for a veto override.
That means decisions about federal financing for the experiments are likely to fall into the hands of the next occupant of the White House. Even before Mr. Bush could put his veto pen to the bill, two leading contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008 — Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois — were weighing in.
Mrs. Clinton, speaking at a conference in Washington, vowed to “lift the ban on stem cell research” if elected. Mr. Obama issued a statement saying Americans deserved a president who “will make this promise real for the American people.”
Though Democrats appear united in support of the stem cell studies, the issue divides the Republican contenders. Senator John McCain of Arizona and Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, are generally supportive. But Mitt Romney, who supported federal financing for the research while governor of Massachusetts, now opposes it, saying he turned against it when he learned the details. The questions are personal for him because his wife, Ann, has multiple sclerosis, which doctors hope could be treated more effectively with the benefit of the research.
Embryonic stem cells are of great interest to scientists because they have the potential to give rise to any type of cell or tissue in the body, and might therefore be used to treat disease. But religious conservatives and abortion opponents oppose the studies because they destroy human embryos.
The opponents make up an important part of Mr. Bush’s political base, and they praised his veto.
“President Bush was forceful in his defense of the tiniest human beings at the beginning of his administration,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, which represents women who oppose abortion. “He is equally forceful now.”
In August 2001, Mr. Bush announced the current rules: tax dollars could be used to study colonies, called lines, of embryonic stem cells, if the embryos themselves had already been destroyed. The bill he vetoed Wednesday would have allowed research on fresh lines drawn from surplus embryos destined to be destroyed by fertility clinics.
Advocates for the research say they have not given up trying to turn the vetoed measure into law. They are now considering trying to attach the bill to legislation Mr. Bush would be reluctant to reject, like an appropriations bill for the National Institutes of Health. And Representative Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, said Democrats might well hold an override vote, if only to redraw attention to Mr. Bush’s opposition to the studies.
“He’s put America in his own political straitjacket on this research,” Mr. Emanuel said.
But proponents are also clearly looking to 2008.
“Beyond trying to do this in a must-pass, must-sign type piece of legislation,” said Representative Michael N. Castle of Delaware, lead Republican sponsor of the bill, “we’re going to have to wait either for a change of mind at the White House, which seems unlikely unless there are some major medical breakthroughs, or the next president.”

Aug. 10, 2001 | President Bush's non-decision on funding for stem-cell research isn't simply the political compromise it's being taken for: It's a moral fumble that hides its essential cowardice behind sanctimonious rhetoric about "vast ethical minefields" and "profound ethical questions."
http://archive.salon.com/politics/feature/2001/08/10/stem_cell/index.html
On the surface, Bush's announcement that he will support federal financing for stem-cell research -- but only on those stem cell "lines" that have already been created from previously destroyed human embryos -- looks like a split-the-difference decision that, while hardly Solomonic in its subtlety, seems to offer something to both sides of this debate. Supporters of the research, which scientists believe offers a revolutionary new opportunity to cure intractable illnesses such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, get to feel relieved that at least some research will be funded. Opponents are supposed to be placated that no further embryos will be destroyed in the cause of medical research.
But that's where the logic of Bush's decision simply falls apart. The fact is that thousands of embryos were destroyed each year before stem-cell research was an option, and thousands will continue to be destroyed each year no matter what Bush decided. These embryos are a byproduct of in vitro fertilization techniques that are in widespread use today by couples who have difficulty conceiving children by natural means. These couples aren't "anti-life"; they're trying to have families. Modern science, in its miracle-working clumsiness, can help them, but excess embryos are an inevitable byproduct. Since there are far more embryos than donors willing or eager to provide wombs for them, even those couples who have qualms about destroying their unwanted embryos aren't often able to find an alternative.
For opponents of stem-cell research, like Rep. Tom Delay, R-Texas, who feel that destroying embryos is tantamount to murder, the campaign against stem-cell research is a pathetic dodge: If they really feel that way, they should be campaigning to outlaw in vitro fertilization itself. They're not doing that because it's politically suicidal and self-contradictory: Fertility treatment, after all, is just a latter-day means to be fruitful and multiply; what could be more "pro-life"?
Embryos are being destroyed, and will continue to be destroyed, as long as in vitro fertilization is available. Bush's decision doesn't change that. So the only real question is, will these embryos have any meaning or offer anything toward the greater good of humanity? Can anything of value be rescued from their destruction? Can their loss help save other lives?
Stem-cell research actually offers a positive answer to this moral quandary. President Bush could have embraced this opportunity, and still drawn a clear ethical line: There's a difference between embryos created with the intent to make a baby, like the in vitro castoffs, and those produced -- as a private stem-cell lab recently announced it had done -- solely for the purpose of research.
Bush could have taken a courageous stand, drawing a more sensible, and defensible, ethical distinction: not between embryos destroyed in the past and those to be inevitably destroyed in the future, but instead between embryos created with intent to produce life and those created solely to be destroyed for their stem cells.
If intention carries any moral weight, as our laws generally have it, then this is the decision Bush should have made, and could have been applauded for. If intention doesn't make a difference -- and Bush believes that destroying embryos is immoral no matter what the original purpose behind their conception -- then he should have stood in front of the nation Thursday and called for the shutdown of fertility clinics.
Of course, doing so might cost him the next election. And that, not morality, is what's governing his handling of this particular "vast ethical minefield."
My sentiments exactly. Though, you never know.
Wow. Makes me think twice about getting in right at open. Me tinks gap to fill?

'tis only the beginning in my opinion
"Next, scientists can start applying for research grants from the National Institutes of Health. The NIH already has begun writing guidelines for what embryonic stem cell lines will qualify under Obama’s ruling..."
exactly, bring in the money
