That's probably a good thing those CANNABUZZ products are not CBIS, although all this misreporting is extremely frustrating. If you read my descriptions you will see that those products are amateurish crap.
I don't like to give my opinion on these boards, just report findings. But in this case I will.
These products do indeed exist.
I bought the oil and lip balm from the Cannabuzz website for a total of $13 (including shiping), payed for through PayPal. It arrived two and a half weeks later in a way-too-big package from UPS. The return address is:
Greta Gaines
(615) 509-3378
The UPS Store
STE 103
4117 Hillboro Pike
Nashille TN 37215-2728
In the package is a business card with the Cannabuzz logo on one side. On the other side is a drawing of a woman with a smoking joint in one hand and a plate of brownies in the other. A hand writen message around the drawing reads: "Thanks for your order! Enjoy! Migi."
The lip balm container is the standard type, like Chapstick. The label is too big, causing the trailing edge to stick out. They solve this by applying a small piece of Scotch tape, but not enough to extend the length of the label, so the bottom third continues to stick out. The entirety of the label reads: "HEMPTASTIQUE -LIP & BODY BALM- Handmade to bring you the benefits of our essential oil blend in a 100% organic balm. A CANABUZZ product. HEMPSEEDLINE.COM Ingredients: hemp seed oil, coconut ol, cocoa butter, beeswax, vitamin E, peppermint"
The oil is in a high quality glass spray bottle. The label fits and covers about two-thirds of the bottle top to bottom and fits around about 270 degrees. The rectangular label is applied very crooked, about a 10 degree grade from left to right. All four corners and both the right and left sides of the label are coming off the bottle. The label reads in its entirety: "RASTA MIRACLE OIL -SKIN FIRST AID- 'FEELS AS GOOD AS IT HEALS' A CANNABUZZ product. HEMPEEDLINE.COM Ingredients: hemp seed oil, coconut oil, lavender. Apply to body daily for maximum moisturizing. Apply liberally to treat itches, burns, stings and more!" The bottle is appropriatly full to the bottom of the neck.
I cannot comment on the quality of the balm or oil; I do not plan on using them. They both smell like my memory of my grandma's medicine cabinet.
Yeah, I have sadly drawn that conclusion from my own research, but I am cautiously optimistic that there is a stronger possibility of dots to be connected than meets the eye.
I am disappointed that I did not see an 8K Friday; it's difficult to ascertain the proper balance between optimism/wishful thinking/skepticism/disgust & mistrust. But, for several months now, I believe there is something here and the risk/reward is worth a chunk of my portfolio. (Although I think most of the reasons people on this board think this stock will go up are ridiculous, foolish, and defy logic. I do however appreciate the rare share of actual useful and cited information.)
So, I continue to squint and try to see some dots to connect.

My thoughts and sentiment exactly.
You're right on gabbyco.
So by COB Friday we shall know if your (and others, myself at times) apprehension and suspicions are warranted.

More important than endorsement, Tommy Chong promises continued national exposure to the exact product and application CBIS seems to be the foremost and legitmate commercial authority on.
Some may consider Tommy Chong a weak or laughable endorsement. That doesn't matter, the exposure is valuable.
Tommy Chong treating prostate cancer with oil - I just watched this interview with Tommy Chong tonight on Don Lemmon's show on CNN. He did not mention CBIS, but he said he stopped smoking pot over a year ago and now is treating his prostate cancer with cannabis oil. He said he plans to keep the media updated with his cancer treatment progress.
Update: Don Lemmon keeps playing the excerpts from the interview over and over, and having other guests comment on it.

There have been zero significant PRs since 4/24 stock issue date to Afaneh and Bogue. Stabilizing and legitimizing fact IMO.
Lots of bashing over the weekend and a quiet day today. Intriguing.
Agreed

Just saw another Facebook post for Hemp Vision TV's free grow class. It was pretty cool to ask a cannabis cup champ Bret Bogue any question you want about growing.

Nicely done
Handing out business cards is not "word of mouth." Word of mouth is great for spreading awareness. Word of mouth does not have a professional connotation.
http://theartofbusinesscards.blogspot.com/2011/05/what-does-business-card-etiquette-mean.html
A business card has a very specific meaning in the business world. One of CBIS's biggest challenges at this stage of their existence is credibility in a corporate world. Someone handing out business cards, who is not part of the company's marketing strategy, especially with the changing attitudes of the country, is a possible detriment.
It's not; it's the exact opposite of important to CBIS.
If you are not employed by the BUSINESS, and you pass out business cards as if you are, all you are doing is delegitimizing CBIS and its success as a profitable company.
All this 4/20 talk, about a BUSINESS: all you are doing is delegitimizing CBIS and its success as a profitable company.
