Shock,
In reference to CBD, I assume you're talking about cannabidiol. Recently, a man whom I now respect told me he's been working beneath the public eye and helping many through cannabidiol (hemp oil) for years now, and many have been seeing sound results without harm to their bodies or mental state.
So, yes, that's a major component of mj the public would do well to give an ear to.

Re #40543:
Shock,
And if I may amend your beliefs, anyone with an IQ above my shoe size knows that once medical mj is legalized everywhere, it's game over for the anti-mj bunch. Doc's from coast to coast will likely be writing mj prescriptions for more than anything else, especially once they realize how beneficial this herb [let's stop calling it a weed] can be to the suffering.
I personally have no use for the stuff, but I'll gladly give a nod to those who do.
Loyal
conix,
I've had my own issues with The Donald, but there's little doubt in my mind that he will bridle Jeff Sessions on this one. America's premier deal maker knows a good deal when he sees one.
Having written the best seller, 'The Art of the Deal', from a vantage point of revenues our president is surely aware that a money-making deal for the government has already been made by enough states. So, all he has to do is employ a hands off approach.
While Trump is a no-smoke, no-drink, --- and probably no-mj --- bloke at heart, he is no fool when it comes to profits, especially if those profits produce legal and massive government revenues.
In other words, while I figure The Donald will voice his personal disapproval of and opine against mj for public use, when push comes to shove he'll go with states' rights on this one. Much of his base will lament that, but they'll bow the knee to his decree. And so will Congress.
Loyal
Shock,
I don't like to admit it, but we do need to fairly soon see something we can take to the bank. No more next month, next year, next decade.
I'm from here 'down home', and we have a valid axiom:

We'll find out soon enough.
Good tradin' to ya.

Financials will be brought forth in due course. Until then, everything everyone says is merely conjecture and contains no real truth. Thus, what I said in my last post stays said. Truth doesn't care whether one attacks it or deletes it. It just is, indestructible in the face of opinion.
Hope all true investors do all right here. If you're one of them, do prosper. If you're not, you'll get yours.
Loyal
While I've felt as I do for quite a while now, I think it's time we true investors face the fact that negative forces are going to keep a lid on this stock ad infinitum, or at least until Haas can reveal substantial long green numbers on his balance sheet. Good news and charts are both meaningless here.
To the contrary, skepticism has always been the foundation for mischief in the stock market, and in pinkyland skeptics will forever be able to readily play their insidious games to the chagrin of longs.
That's the stone cold truth. Isn't it about time someone said it out loud?
Loyal
BaBa,
Seein' as how you've been so iffy and edgy with this company, I've come to the conclusion that if only they had had you as an oversight to the job, perhaps they might have built Rome in one day after all, two at the most.
Loyal
- - - Patience, mah man. Patience.
Impressive and timely release there. We'll see how the shorts manage to spin that one.
Loyal
BaBa, if you ain't in, then you ain't sittin' pretty. You're just sittin'.
Loyal
Because the manipulative mm's and the powers that are behind them don't want it to. This is not complicated.
Loyal
Tiger,
Very good article, bro. Paints a clear, comprehensive picture of what GRNH has accomplished thus far and what its outlook holds for any investor looking for positives.
Loyalhound
BaBa, if this thing heats up you're gonna need a big fan.
Loyal
I hear ya. My brother's a nearly retired 50-year CPA and he feels the same way. Anyway, your points are well taken.
Frankly, I'm holding strong, and had no desire to marry this stock a year ago. It just worked out that way thus far.
I too get a bit skeptical at times, especially after I ended up being married to a few stocks I only intended to have a fling with. Fortunately for y'all, no one else ever had that problem.
Loyal
BaBa,
Consider the possibility that your skepticism might be a bit overboard here, friend. For GRNH to release all this positive info only to have it be nothing more than fake news would be tantamount to shooting itself in the foot (if not the head).
With all the positive news that's come forth recently, one would think a fair-minded investor might come to the conclusion that two plus two equals four, instead of opting for the fuzzy math of negativity and cynicism.
I say, proceed with caution . . . . but at least proceed.
Loyal
Okay, I'm not p.c. on this one, but I frankly don't give a rat's if it washes with anyone or not. I personally don't think Haas and his cohorts owe us a plethora of PR's at all. Yes, those are inspiring to read, but the cold hard truth is that mm's give PR's no place and have no respect for them, no matter how positive those PR's are. Market breakers short at will because this perverted system in place gives them free reign to do so.
What the Haas bunch owes us is a good work ethic, a sound vision, a follow through on growth, and more zeroes on the left side of the bottom line's decimal point.
PR's tend to attract shark shorters, naysayers and other cupcakes. Money attracts true investors, especially whales. So, as for me, I'm banking on the belief that we're gonna see some strong long green in the near future, and that's a royal flush that'll cause shorts and wimps to sigh, fold their hand, turn their cards face down, and throw it in.
Loyalhound
BaBa,
You're likely right with your assessment, but during my years in real estate I saw some of the screwiest things take place at the closing table; I mean, real elementary DD done by some incompetent goofball that one would think could not possibly happen. But when it did, things got hot in a hurry in those rooms.
Once again, it's what can occur when too many cooks are in the kitchen during a major real estate deal.
Loyal
Re #39201:
Jugator, well now, I just don't know what to think. Sure is most unusual that a CEO would talk to one of us 'deplorables' over the phone about company business.
Thing is, once is a great while VIP's actually do business the old fashioned way and talk openly to the common folk about things. Not often, but it does happen.
What if Haas is an open book? Yeah, it looks kinda iffy, but whether Porky talked to Haas or not, well, God only knows . . . . and He ain't sayin'.
Loyal
porky,
30 million. He really said that? Out loud?
Loyal
n.w.,
During my years as a real estate agent, the biggest peeve we'd come across was the discovery of a sudden hold up in the process because someone missed something or just plain didn't do their job. But once in a great while it happens. Yes, and it can occur as late as at the closing table. There's no excuse for it, but occasionally people in the chain screw up, even in commercial real estate deals. And anyone connected to real estate sales (seller or buyer or agent) knows there are always too many hands in the pie.
I don't know what happened here, but it is possible that somebody goofed amid the escrow process. Greengro might have been able to bring a 'suit for performance' (merely conjecture here), but that would have only delayed the transaction and could have given Greengro bad ink. Better to just call it a misdeal, reshuffle the deck, and deal again elsewhere.
I've no inside info on this matter; just considering a possibility.
Loyal
Canna,
Amen. Spot on.

Just a thought that might bear testimony to a theory of mine I've expressed here a few times after personal research:
A fellow-poster pointed out another mj pinky that ran wild recently, and I mean over 2,200%. It's pps was somewhat lower than GRNH, and the company didn't have nearly the credentials GRNH has. But it ran to the moon and beyond just a couple weeks ago to multiple pennies.
So, what made the difference? Turns out it's a pharmaceutical company, probably a spin off of or controlled by big pharma. But there it was. A $1,200 investment would have made you a quarter of a million. Go figure.
My point to be made is that I'm of the belief that big pharma is invading and entrenching itself in the mj field, and through subterfuge --- via some mm investment firms --- is cherry picking the market to determine which pinks succeed and which don't.
I still submit we're being held down by filthy lucre. JMO.
Thanx for listening,
Loyalhound
Deanna,
I think you're assessment is plum crazy, girl. But I'm also quite sure a bunch of us think you're our kind o' nut.
Loyal
JLUT, one logically would think so. But big pharma doesn't trust any upstart that might infringe on what pharma thinks is its monopoly domain, and with GRNH based in Calexico, it would be a likely target for attack, especially since GRNH is expanding in many avenues connected with plant research and growth.
With what's a stake, Greengro would be foolish to forego an opportunity to become a big player, even if it were only the medical side of mj.
Well, that's my take. Any disagreements invited.
the Loyalhound
Cherry (or to anyone else), I'm still of the mind that there's shady money being funneled into this stock so as to constantly short it and keep it from taking off. As I've said on numerous occasions, big pharma doesn't want mj to take root; to the contrary, pharma considers mj to be poaching on their territory. With untold multiplied millions at stake, the mj industry --- medically or recreationally --- is a major threat to the status quo.
That's where GRNH comes in. This company would definitely interfere with the cash cow machine big pharma has had going for itself these many decades, so beating it down or keeping it at bay would likely be what this stagnation is all about.
They do want our shares in the event of a run, but also want to make some gas money for themselves through the ups and downs. Mm's don't even mind retailers who buy and sell for nickels and dimes, as long as things don't get out of hand.
But sooner or later, if the company's bottom line keeps adding zeroes on the end of it, well . . . you simply can't keep a good man down, and only the longs who hold strong will reap the windfall. As for my shares, nobody's gettin' 'em. I'm holdin' out for the mother lode.
Thanx for listenin'.
Loyal
n.w.,
While I can see what you and RFB are saying, with company fundamentals very sound on the inside in Anaheim (a least it appears that way), I can't see mm's having the ability to send GRNH into the toilet. Besides, it would not be to the market breakers' interest to do that. They're having a fish fry with this thing right now, and they don't want the fish to stop bitin'.
Then again, I still think some mm's are being funneled filthy lucre under the table by big pharma or some other anti-mj group to keep everything stagnant.
The whole situation defies logic, and has since the passage of Prop 64 and the election.
Holding strong here.
Loyal
n.w.,
I have to concur with you about charts in pinkyland. For years now I've viewed them as the Trojan horses they are. At this level mm's don't react to chart patterns; they create them.
Loyal
puppy,
Oops. Sorry, darlin'**.
Hope you prosper.
Loyal
** I'm from down home yonder, and some of us tend to address our girls that way.
RFB,
Your points are well taken and accurate. Moreover, when any company continues to impress in every aspect of business (from expansions to revs to buyouts), sooner or later true investors watching from every seat in the house will make note of the game mm's are playing on a daily basis. Which means the bully eventually overplays his hand and gets his head handed to him the way Rhonda Rousey did.
GRNH is a Rocky Balboa if I ever saw one, and as mentally irregular as the mm's make this company appear to be, in a little while GRNH will rise up off the canvas and show them the 'eye of the tiger'.
And when that happens, mm's will scatter like are cockroaches they are.
Loyal
puppy,
Thanx for that input, bro. I had been looking for some specific info about these various market breakers**.
Loyal
** I refer to them as such because that's what they are in reality.
n.w., Probably so. I was likely wrong in thinking FINRA was a private entity subsidized in part by the government, sort of like the Postal Service or Amtrak. Or maybe funded by the big banksters.
In any case, I never had much faith in the integrity of FINRA. But then, at the end of the day isn't it all a bunch o' bullshit?
Loyal
P.S. - - - "Be loyal to your country at all times, . . . and to your government when you can."
--- Mark Twain
RFB, been reading your informative posts. So, the obvious question is: Why isn't FINRA on top of this? Or have these investment firms snaked their way into FINRA circles and corrupted this regulatory authority also? After all, FINRA is a private corporation and could be circumventing SEC regs without adult supervision to hold them to the fire.
And if that's the case, then what in the sam hill are rules worth anymore?
Loyal
Cherry, the keyword to your question is . . . 'again', as it did three years ago. But the frustrating question is . . . when?
It will, sure as shootin', --- though the cows may come home first.

Re #38652:
n.w., I think you answered your own question through your follow-up with post #38656. Mm's are doing much of the buying and selling. It's nothing more than manipulation; some ups, some downs, but mostly sideways.
With CA going legal in November we should have seen a run, but it didn't happen. And with the new year and positive news from within since the election, we should have seen another run like we did back in 2014. But that didn't happen, either.
So, with manipulators in full control, looks like there will be no January thaw this year, to boot. GRNH shows much greater promise than most piddlin' mj stocks. That's likely why it's being held down more so than others are. Simply put, GRNH nearly got away from the mm's a couple times in the past few years, and they're not about to let that happen again.
It's all nothing more than legalized racketeering, bro. Has been for some time.
Loyal
fwiw: Being a dinosaur, I'm neither conservative nor liberal, since we dinosaurs aren't smart enough to be either. But for my money, this thing should have shot through the storm clouds right after the election two and a half months ago, but it didn't. Obviously, the manipulators were in full control before that.
And the January thaw many were predicting didn't happen, because we're still in a [relative] freeze pattern from one market-maker polar vortex after another.
So, question: When does GRNH take off (uh, to da moon, as they say)?
Answer: When the mm's decide to let go. No sooner. Period.
Forget the charts and the news and the revenues. It's a new age, fellow-investors. There are no more rules; no real ones anyway.
Loyal (still holding for the big one) Have someone at the front desk give me a wake up call when it happens.
Fast,
You are quite correct. Like you, that's why I'm here, learning and re-learning every day that this is a tough way to make an easy living.
Loyal
porky,
In light of your back and forth with 'lilpuppy' and a few others, the fact is that today's market world has been severely tarnished by what amounts to legalized racketeering.
One doesn't need to be an economic genius to realize that short selling was instrumental in the great crash under Hoover. That's why it was later banned as a practice by the SEC and still is in some countries around the world. Short selling is a diabolical tactic cleverly packaged as a necessary thing, and only a short seller argues against that truth.
Granted, it was later re-authorized as a valid practice under the guise of keeping the market honest, but that's nothing more than gold spray-painted horseshit.
My point is that today's stock market is riddled with collusion from the inside out. The power brokers lobbied to change the rules to suit their own selfish interests, and big money dominates minds. Today's market is what it is, and we retailers just have to knuckle down and live with it. It will never change for the better, and our success is determined in finding ways to survive its rip currents.
Loyal
scurve,
You might be right, bro, but in the long run I think not. The Donald is sheriff now, not Jeff Sessions. For Trump the mantra is jobs, jobs, jobs. For Congress it's money, money, money through tax revenues.
Only big bucks by big pharma lobbyists can slow things down. Plus, Trump is surely aware that millions of people unhappy with our direction is what got him elected. In other words, one can be sure Trump knows what the founders admonished:
"Where the government fears the people there is liberty. Where people fear the government . . . there is tyranny." Trump certainly cannot afford to look like Obama.
Nothing should trump states' rights. So, if the feds were to try to use force against the mj states it would be 'Prohibition' all over again, and The Donald wouldn't want to deal with that angry varmint.
Loyal
scurve,
While you're points are valid and well taken, there's a factor you're leaving out, and it's the biggest of all - - - money.
Money is God to both branches of Congress, and if mj produces jobs and (and!) massive tax revenues, which it will, House and Senate members will readily set aside principle in favor of a dramatic increase in cash flow.
And The Donald knows it.
Loyal
Re: #37907
I think that's a major key, Rat. Diversity. GRNH's resume shows a diversity that I've not seen in other mj's, which one would think will produce itching eyes and ears of many currently sitting on the sidelines as spectators.
Let's roll.
