Shortie gonna go up in flamessQDQD!!!
BOOOM!!!!!!
Remember when MJNA was going down? And board 'longs' were sending msg's to switch to ED*C....lol, glad I'm not an idiot. I'm a sure they got some to follow suit though. I was msg'd when ED*X was .14, and now its .069...thanks a-holes lmao
Are you too young to search? - http://lmgtfy.com/?q=What+are+the+effects+of+cbd%3F
#Green Gold
MJNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOM##@
5 years to go....#millions in my #pockets
My guess is that if it is up much, then all MJ stocks are up. The only stock that doesn't follow suit is MD*X
fair enough
Yeah you right. Too bad no one ever pumps before the spike.
It won't mean anything to me. I'm not here to bash the stock. I'm long mjn*. I just think pumpers are pathetic. I don't care about this stock or other competitors. When fed changes law ALL mj stocks will soar immediately after. The strongest stocks will continue to soar in the longterm. Its literally-that-simple.
I feel the same way about MJNA..that's why I don't listen to pumpers
Edxc pumpers were msging me to buy this when it was 0.14...lol what a joke.
Same here GI...$20 will be a 20% sell for me
Nice post
That is a good point, however I am not a medical patient. That is a key difference...and I'm pretty sure you're a sociopath.
You really are a hooker..
Ohhhh, this is why you're bashin' MJNA....it all makes sense now!
I'm long ERBB btw

Medical Marijuana Inc Announces Positive Developments in Recent Studies Using Cannabidiol (CBD) Compound; NBC News, ABC News and Huffington Post Report California Pacific Medical Center's Findings That CBD Stops Metastasis in Aggressive Cancers
GlobeNewswire - 9 mins ago
SAN DIEGO, May 28, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Medical Marijuana Inc (OTC Pink:MJNA) is pleased to inform shareholders and the general public of recent developments in the research involving Cannabidiol (CBD) and other Phyto-cannabinoids.
The Following is taken from a Huffington Post interview with Dr. McAllister and Dr. Desprez:
A pair of scientists at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco has found that a compound derived from marijuana could stop metastasis in many kinds of aggressive cancer, potentially altering the fatality of the disease forever.
"It took us about 20 years of research to figure this out, but we are very excited," said Pierre Desprez, one of the scientists behind the discovery, to The Huffington Post. "We want to get started with trials as soon as possible."
The Daily Beast first reported on the finding, which has already undergone both laboratory and animal testing, and is awaiting permission for clinical trials in humans.
Desprez, a molecular biologist, spent decades studying ID-1, the gene that causes cancer to spread. Meanwhile, fellow researcher Sean McAllister was studying the effects of Cannabidiol, or CBD, a non-toxic, non-psychoactive chemical compound found in the cannabis plant. Finally, the pair collaborated, combining CBD and cells containing high levels of ID-1 in a petri dish.
"What we found was that his Cannabidiol could essentially 'turn off' the ID-1," Desprez told HuffPost. The cells stopped spreading and returned to normal.
"We likely would not have found this on our own," he added. "That's why collaboration is so essential to scientific discovery."
Desprez and McAllister first published a paper about the finding in 2007. Since then, their team has found that CBD works both in the lab and in animals. And now, they've found even more good news.
"We started by researching breast cancer," said Desprez. "But now we've found that Cannabidiol works with many kinds of aggressive cancers--brain, prostate--any kind in which these high levels of ID-1 are present."
Desprez hopes that clinical trials will begin immediately.
"We've found no toxicity in the animals we've tested, and Cannabidiol is already used in humans for a variety of other ailments," he said. Indeed, the compound is used to relieve anxiety and nausea, and, since it is non-psychoactive, does not cause the "high" associated with THC.
While marijuana advocates will surely praise the discovery, Desprez explained that it's not so easy as just lighting up.
"We used injections in the animal testing and are also testing pills," he said. "But you could never get enough Cannabidiol for it to be effective just from smoking."

Dr. McAllister & CBD Research
Dr. Sean McAllister says that he is ready to begin testing CBD on humans to evaluate anti-cancer properties. Dr. McAllister and colleague Pierre Desprez, PhD from California Pacific Medical Center have previously mentioned, "Cannabidiol offers hope of a non-toxic therapy that could treat aggressive forms of cancer without any of the painful side effects of chemotherapy." "We found that this one compound, CBD, had a specific effect on metastatic cancer cells, very aggressive tumor cells. CBD in animal studies has been used to 'switch off' a specific gene regulator." Dr. McAllister explains: "We find when you treat with CBD, you down regulate the expression of this protein and that inhibits the disease process." Dr. McAllister and Dr. Desprez have developed a synthetic version of CBD, which they say targets a specific gene in the body related to the spread of cancer (metastasis).

Cannabidiol in the Food Supply
Author Allan Badiner has provided the world with an excellent article on CBD and CBD in the food supply. Article: <a href="http://www.realitysandwich.com/blog/allan_badiner" target="_top">http://www.realitysandwich.com/blog/allan_badiner</a>
Full article from Allan Badiner:
His article states that the endocannabinoid system is the largest neuro-transmitting system within the human body and that endocannabinoids are now understood as the source for "the runner's high" effect. Further endocannabinoids are found in mother's breast milk and are crucial for proper human development. Dr. Sean McAllister mentions that "CBD could spell the end of breast cancer" and further claims that CBD could render chemotherapy and radiation a distant 2nd or 3rd option for cancer patients.

Further, Allan Badiner writes that CBD-rich foods need not make any health claims thus avoiding issues with the FDA. Imagine creamy CBD enhanced peanut butter, cooking oils, cereals, and beverages. Don't be surprised that in a few short years, you will be hearing doctors (not just cannabis physicians) advise their patients to "exercise, and get your CBD."
"We believe the company is positioned perfectly to directly impact the Cannabidiol (CBD) market. The company has made great strides in our production capabilities over the past quarter and we look forward to our continued role in this sector. We would like to thank our shareholders for their support we look forward to keeping you up to date on our exciting developments," stated Michelle Sides, Chairman and COO.

Negative effects with CBD?
Has anyone out there had any negative effects from CBD? Just wondering...
Didn't you say the other day that you "got out" a few days before?? Interesting...
That's the mentality of a true 'long'...assuming nothing of great impact has changed in the company. And nothing has...board skanks are crying about the Cannavest deal and Dixie, but they don't understand how smart MJNA is playing it.. These same crybabies would be ecstatic about the news had the pops rise (bounced). Patience will prevail. Cry babies gonna cry especially after they can't buy back all the shares they sold. One day could cause someone who previously sold 100k shares to only have the powder to buy back 5k shares, after a real spike in pps. You gotta use your head. If your not, then you deserve to lose your shares and future monies.
AIMO
Agreed....on all accounts
I am long and strong MJNA since 2012...I was noting the impatience of, what I'll call, 'traders'. Many thought they were 'long' but didn't have the gusto.
Longs are non-existant
Not for MJNA, but in general terms....
Its funny how many claimed they were "long!!"
Obviously many members here should have never invested in MJNA, thinking that they were long...faint of heart little fellas...move back to the big caps
One telling sign
will be the uplisting. If it happens then that should erase any 'questions' from holders/buyers/sellers/bashers minds. An uplisting is more telling than ANYTHING that might transpire in the 'revenues' column of the financial sheets at this point in time. If this is no longer a pinksheet stock at some point then a P/E of unprecedented ratio may see effect.
Chartists, short-terms traders, and the uniformed may have a surprise in store. Time will tell. This board is a good sample of America. Impatient and overly-anxious.
I do understand the disgruntlement over the whole "Cannavest deal". But nothing is over, and on the contrary, things are just heating up. GLTM
AIMO
MJNA has some work to do....but who didn't know that??... Bueller?
All "longs" wanted exponential growth like 'yesterday'. MJNA is in a green-ish-grey area of legality. I personally believe that they are making "good" moves, but they can't make them transparent to the public (INCLUDING shareholders) without:
(1) putting the company (and shareholders) in a very bad position (via current federal law)
(2) exposing the 'coming plays' to competitors- the birthing of all major green players is happening right NOW
...there is no reason that anyone has to agree with me, but at the same time- what the hell did you think you were investing in??? Gold fish from pet smart?! [...we sold 10 gold fish today @ $3 a fish....right]
This is a revolution and set backs are imminent. I'm glad that "long"-weak hands are getting weeded out. Not everyone has the cajones for the pinksheets- make that the emerging sector of currently illegal pink sheet stocks.
Many of you who plan to "get back in" will probably pick up more shares by doing this, but some of you will miss the bus all together. I'm not willing to make that mistake. With my investment of 13,000 shares, my point of view is: possible downside of $0, is easily overcome by the upside potential, and in my mind damn near inevitability.
AIMO
MJNA$
MJNA Longs thanking back the throne
Exactly correct.....weak hands let opportunities slip through
Proof is that MJNA pops is going down! Yet, that's the reason its going down...
Which came first the chicken or the egg??
#Strong#long#Mjna
It sure does #profits ahead
Only problem is that they're POGs....don't know how to win a war like a Marine Corps grunt....just like while I was in, the POGs are the first to piss their pants. Rah..
Good answer.
I agree....surprisingly...faith #MJNA
taxes?!!? YEA, on INCOME..#MJNA
Prone to manipulation??? kakakakakaa...watch level II friend...
Yes sir #MJNA
You are correct...that you're trolling. MJNA$$$
You are correct. That's why CBD Botanicals are legal. I'm not sure about the process. My understanding is that it's patented.
Good DD. CBD is all that and a bag of- I did a LOT of research several months ago regarding cannabanoids, in particular CBD. It's damn close to a miracle compound.
Interesting most ppl think that ALL MJ has CBD....FALSE. As I'm sure you know iamblackbeltman CBD has been getting bred out of strains since the 1970's. Dixie began to breed it back in, and extract it for condensed solution! GO MJNA
