What dates can I expect your arrival ? And mind you, I am not compensated / employed or involved in the marijuana industry or Pazoo. I am just investor like you, but BS ( fraud claims / lawsuits ) have to be checked. So, set the dates my man, we will make it happen.
I am always here, you name the dates. Books though, I would assume are in Jersey though. Books now would not show you anything, if the product is not being ran thru the lab at this time correct ? Your assertion is that this is a fraud, come out & see the lab snake.
Im not trying to discourage you from blowing a wad of $$$$ on legal fee's, if that makes you happy....or spend some $$$, come out to Vegas, see the lab yourself, enjoy the city. Im pretty confident there would be nothing stopping you from seeing the lab and being reaasurred of this product. Up to you where you put your $$$.
I have been to the lab multiple times in Vegas. Most recent, 5 weeks ago. I live 15 minutes away from the lab. Anyone has access to it, if arrangements are made ,at almost any time for a tour. Very expensive / high tech equipment on the counter tops. Secure, fortified facility,in Vegas. There is no BS here, the lab in Vegas is solid......
Lets hope so.....everything looks like it is dialed in nicely
Skull & cross bones have been removed
Good morning Alan, regarding this post that you submitted, what's your take now ??? I know, I know,.... nothing has been accomplished as of yet, right ?......I just wanted to help you along with your thought process.
Why is Pazoo a fake ? You have not answered my previous question regarding a company that is growing, yes, slowly, but is growing. Any suggestions ?
Why would you depend on someone else's recommendation for a " loading zone ", rather than your own dd ? Why follow someones advice , on a board , who you have no idea who they are and what their agenda is ? Everyone is responsible for themselves and their personal financial decisions, no one else's.....
This is not aimed at you, but the board did complete parts of their objective. It did scare away some investors.......for now. The investors that are solid, are not selling, holding tight & waiting. The one's who were gonna buy, have bought. The one's who were going to sell, have sold. Thats why I think the volume have dropped. Now it is a game of patience. I know this sounds like a redundancy, good things will come for those who wait.....
Thank you for the insight. Point taken.
I am not trying to defend anyone here at all. We are all big boys / girls here. But as a share holder myself with many, many shares of Pazoo, I would feel that it would be " no ones business" on how many shares I sold & at what price I sold them at, if at all I did any of above.
In Race to Open, Some Nevada Dispensaries Eyeing Home Growers For Cannabis
Tags: nevada dispensaries
cannabis business opens
The race to launch the first licensed dispensaries in Nevada is heating up, and some business owners are turning to home growers to stock their shelves and open their doors.
Since no cultivation facilities are up and running yet, a handful of companies with dispensary licenses are looking to purchase cannabis from registered patients or their designated caregivers, which is allowed under a provision of the state’s MMJ law.
This strategy could help the first dispensaries open in a matter of weeks.
Almost 9,000 Nevadans hold valid medical marijuana cards, with the vast majority – 6,500 – residing in Clark County, where Las Vegas is located.
Some 55 dispensaries received provisional licenses in November, and more could be awarded in the next year if a bill expanding the number of permits is passed. Many are planning to open this fall or in early 2016, after cultivation sites harvest their first crop.
But those that open sooner will likely catch the attention of the thousands of patients who are required to register with a singular dispensary for 30 days at a time. The first dispensaries also will be able to starting building name recognition, recouping their startup costs and capturing loyal customers ahead of their competitors that open later.
So far only three cultivators have received anything beyond preliminary licenses, and none have yet produced a crop. When medical marijuana from licensed cultivation operations will actually be available is still unknown, making home growers the only source of legal marijuana for dispensaries in the state.
“It’s going to be four or five months before any crops come to fruition, so the only option right now is to buy from existing cardholders,” Jim Ferrence, the marketing and government affairs director at Las Vegas dispensary Euphoria Wellness, told Marijuana Business Daily.
Following the provision in the state law, Euphoria will purchase its flower from home cultivators, who are allowed to produce up to 12 marijuana plants, as a stopgap between the time it opens its Las Vegas dispensary until mass cultivators are up and running, he said.
The company plans to open its doors “in a few weeks” after several regulatory delays, Ferrence said. Euphoria executives plan to meet with local and state officials to iron out the few remaining wrinkles, he said.
Not everybody thinks purchasing from home growers is a good idea, though.
The provision was originally designed to allow caregivers and patients growing their own cannabis to provide licensed cultivation sites with plants that could be cloned to build the state’s industry, said Amanda Connor, an attorney with Connor & Connor PLLC in Las Vegas. (Home growers will not be allowed to continue cultivating if a dispensary opens in their county.)
“They never envisioned it to supply dispensaries,” she said. “You can’t bring product across state lines so the question was, ‘how will (cultivation sites) get product legally, how will they legally get clones and mother plants to start the industry?'”
Some insiders have told their members to wait until large cultivators come online and are available to deliver. Joe Brezny, the head of the Nevada Cannabis Industry Association, said he’s advising companies seeking his guidance to sit back and relax and let the industry develop before considering opening their doors.
“I’ve advised my association members to not rush, to do this the right way, to cultivate their own marijuana to as high a standard as possible and test it and have that determine when they come to market,” he said.
For his part, Demetri Kouretas – the chief executive officer of The Grove, which will have dispensaries in Las Vegas and Pahrump, Nevada – said he’s going to wait for the first growers to produce a crop for financial reasons and to better know which products he’s selling to his customers, though he said he’s ready to open his doors.
“We’re not going to be buying from patients because it doesn’t seem financially the way to go,” he said. “We could open next month if we had product to sell but we’re shooting for fall in both locations. Of course, that depends on if we can get product that’s up to our standards.”

I am huge on Pazoo, but this is what I have been saying for months. Just bc we have a grand opening June 3rd, does not mean revenue will be streaming in. Once the growers found out from Carson City on what to expect in terms of quantities of metals / pesticides etc, then they will begin to grow product. We are still a ways away before actual product in Vegas, being ran thru the lab. Patience is key..........This will all take time, but eventually it will be very lucrative for us all.
Nice find PP !!! This is actually great news !! Every little step the gov gets involved, the more likely they would mandate mmj testing, esp IF THEY ARE PAYING for it to our well deserved veterans. Gradual, little steps is all we can expect right now, but things are moving in the right direction, in our favor...
Remember, it was only a few weeks ago that Carson City came to a decision regarding the heavy metals\ pesticides etc,etc that would be allowed in the mmj. This being said, no growth hasn't been started until they had a better idea of what was expected by the state. So , DO NOT EXPECT product coming thru the lab once the grand opening occurs. It's still a few months away to have actual product available to test. So, please, no bashing about a grand opening Wo product. It is not Pazoo's fault, its a lack of product that isn't completely grown at this time. Remember, this is an evolving industry, rules are being created weekly. Patience.....
Well said....
Thank you for the update. Your opinion has a lot of credence here. Keep the updates rolling.
In reference to the Vegas opening....it's not Pazoo's decision, it was Carson Cities decision to when and how they could open. Carson City last week determined the amount of pesticides / molds / heavy metals, etc.. to be allowed in the product. No growers would jeopardized growing product until the specifications were released by the state. Pazoo has no control. Anticipate everything delayed due to the fact that this type of business is constructing the rules and guideline's as it evolves. Pazoo is ready for product. But its still a few months away ( at least )due that it has to be grown by the grow houses. All the mumbo-jumbo, jipper-japper talk about OS/AS stuff, is not going to change THAT IS ALREADY IN CONCRETE. A solid, well equipped, state of the art laboratory, anxiously waiting for product. This is something that can not be argued. If so, then go to 2009 Western ave, Las Vegas, and dispute the OS/AS #'s with a building.
PAZOOO$$$$
Good luck to all, pull up a chair & let the feeding frenzy begin !!! Good, positives vibes here. PZOOOO $$$$$
Hopefully August we can have product in Vegas with this good news. No one would likely grow product until this was cleared up.

Week in Review: WA Rec Sales Balloon, NV Moves Closer to Launch + Puerto Rico Legalizes MMJ
Almost Go-Time in Nevada
Nevada dispensary owners who’ve been waiting for state lawmakers to work out regulations on product testing received some good news this week: Laboratories can now start analyzing medical marijuana for pesticides, heavy metals and other impurities.
It’s a major step forward for Nevada’s MMJ industry, and it paves the way for the first dispensaries to open soon.
Just how soon is still anyone’s guess, however.
The state’s medical marijuana program manager told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that dispensaries can open once their plants have been tested, which means sales theoretically could launch in the coming weeks if everything goes smoothly.
But some dispensaries said they still have no idea when they’ll be able to open, as they’re unclear how the testing process will play out. And things rarely go smoothly in the medical marijuana world.
The state’s MMJ program is behind schedule, in large part because officials took much longer than expected to hammer out testing rules and give labs the go-ahead to move forward.
The delays have hammered testing labs, which sat idle for months while accruing staffing and overhead costs. Same goes for the companies that won the 55 dispensary licenses the state has awarded.
Hopefully this week’s development puts the program on the fast track.

Nevada MMJ Testing to Begin, But Dispensaries Still in Limbo
Tags: cannabis labs, nevada medical marijuana
Nevada dispensaries waiting for the green light to open received some good news this week after a health official said rules are now in place that allow laboratories to start testing cannabis.
Dispensaries that received licenses to sell MMJ have been in limbo for months as they waited for the state to finalize rules on testing, which is required before sales can begin.
Although labs can now begin testing, business owners told the Las Vegas Review-Journal they’re still unsure when they’ll be allowed to open.
The Independent Laboratory Advisory Committee, in charge of recommending limits on pesticides, heavy metals and other impurities, has met five times, the Review-Journal reported.
Early gatherings were nothing more than figuring out how to conduct meetings, and only during the fourth meeting on April 16 did the committee vote on pesticide rules. Out of that meeting, formal state policy was set, but committee members still wonder about the state’s rigid rules on testing, which could drive up prices, according to the newspaper.
Officials say they must follow regulations already in place and believe MMJ sold in the state will be safer than what’s sold in other markets.
It’s not just the roughly 9,000 MMJ cardholders in Nevada who are waiting for dispensaries to open — state law allows for reciprocity, meaning cardholders from other states will be able to purchase medical cannabis in the state.
Local news here in Vegas just reported that pesticide issued has been resolved.
PAZOO / STEEP HILL ARE A NECESSITY TO MARIJUANA !!! Its not going away. Colorado just passed a law last week that it is mandated to testing MMJ, right ? Tell me, who is going to test it now, which is law ? C*** lab, yeah right !!Even though it has been simmering for months, the recent publication that was put out last week with a lab involved in a potential ( allegedly ) $100,000,000 law suit ? No way. Even if your name is associated with them, as a grower, I wouldn't touch them bc of the questionable circumstances that occurred.
First, you had a " negative " lab result from a certain lab, lab results were given out. Ok, the next day, you come back with a "positive finding " in the same lab sample result ?? Huh ?? That does not make sense what's so ever. You do not re-test a " negative " finding, unless you were extremely concerned for contaminates or some other reasons. Therefore, if you were concerned about contamination in the specimen, you re - run the sample to verify the initial negative result, before you give the actual test result to your client. If I have a pt's blood test come back abnormal, and I am slightly concerned that there could be potentially an lab error or the blood coagulated before being ran, I have the lab run another test to make sure that I am getting the absolute correct lab result to benefit my pt. Once this is ran and returns, I can make an safe decision that we are accurately making the correct diagnosis on the sample provided. What was completed above was ass backwards, for some reason. I would fire the lab. Two things occur, most importantly, you jeopardized your pt, and secondly, you have lost their confidence. This is not Taco Bell and someone forgets to give you, your bean burrito, it is peoples life that we are testing, their safety. If you come back to that pt and say, yeah yesterday, everything was good on your test results, but......, well, there was a sort of a mix up with the lab results, and you have cancer now, sorry. Have a nice day..
Essentially, what I am saying is, this timing of a law suit, could not have came at a better time for us PAZOO peeps. The entire industry is really getting ramped up now, getting their ducks in a row. I hope this law suit drags out, plenty of PR, so it defers growers from c***, and use PAZOO. Some how, the sales reps should discuss with their cleaver attorneys to get that message across, without actually inferring any specific lab.
There is NO WAY AROUND THIS, product will be mandated to be tested. The feds will look at MMJ as closely as your Tylenol that you put in your kids mouth each night. This is a good thing for us at PAZOO & the safety of pt's. As far as I know, there are not a lot of big name labs doing this service.
There are a lot of you who know A LOT more about the finances ( dolphins 13, etc ), which I appreciate you all and your knowledge. I think we have a strong forum here. Thank you all for your knowledge......GO PAZOO$$$$
If you check out canl I hub page, there is a lot of chatter about PAZOO over the past few days, brought upon by greenhouse_IG & peterconway13. Seems as if there is some investors aggravation regarding the lawsuit. Funny how a competitor ( greenhouse & peter ) is talking with their investors, about PAZOO. They know, eventually, it will land in PAZOO. Just a matter of time. I guess it may be hard to get over a bad rep in testing...we will see. Keep up the great work greenhouse_IG & peterconway13...
I am envious, that is a great pps !! Good for you. Hang on and ride this out LONG......$$$$

Video Statement Part of Settlement Tied to $100M Lawsuit
In an unusual legal settlement, a Colorado company has issued a video statement about its role in issuing preliminary test results involving hemp-based oils produced by Medical Marijuana Inc.’s subsidiary HempMedsDavid Stewart, president of Stewart Environmental, says in the statement that he was “pressured” into giving the initial results to a dispensary owner who requested the tests. The statement – included in a video posted on Youtube Monday morning – is part of a settlement tied to a $100 million lawsuit Medical Marijuana Inc. filed against Stewart Environmental and several other parties.
Another defendant in the case – dispensary owner Jason Cranford – has also settled and will issue a video apology, according to Andrew Hard, a spokesman for Medical Marijuana Inc.
The preliminary results of tests performed by Stewart Environmental showed that the HempMeds product Real Scientific Hemp Oil (RSHO) contained “significant levels” of heavy metals. The lab passed those early results on to Cranford, who then allegedly handed them off to a CBD-focused website that eventually used them in a damning report calling into question the safety of HempMeds products.
The initial results proved inaccurate, however. The final results – given to Cranford a day after he received the preliminary data – showed the amount of heavy metals was either “undetectable or at very low concentrations” in the sample, Stewart said.
“Anyone reading a report by Stewart Environmental that RSHO contained heavy metals should know this report was preliminary, and that a corrected, accurate report was issued,” Steward said in the video.
The video statements were Medical Marijuana Inc.’s idea, Hard said. Stewart told Marijuana Business Daily the video was something the companies had agreed upon.
Other parties in the case, including Project CBD and CannLabs, have not reached a settlement at this time.
Bad, bad PR. More credence to use Steep Hill & Pazoo !!!
I am in no rush to sell at all. WAY long on Pazoo. Like everyone else says, this is the golden ticket. I can wait it out, hoping to see 5 labs. My average is at 0.0159, I have been collecting shares for 10 months. I am not as clever as a lot of peeps here to " buy on the dip " or move anything. I am happy where I am settled. We all our in a great position here with Pazoo. I am excited for all of us to be successful here. PAZOO = GOLDMINE
I do not believe we are any where near accepting of main stream medical marijuana. This will be the biggest obstacle of any, is getting clinicians to prescribe marijuana as a medication. The stigma of " marijuana" is huge. As of right now, if someone prescribed medical marijuana to a pt, they may receive an " raised eyebrow " or get a weird look in a hospital setting. Medical marijuana is not even discussed with my colleagues. I believe it is going to take a lot of promotion and awareness by people like Dr. Gupta. His positive results & dialogue would bring marijuana more main stream. If though, marijuana is changed from schedule 1, to schedule 2, the doors would open significantly. Pain management physicians or Neurologist will be the fields where medical marijuana initially becomes more mainstream.
Big pharm, in my opinion is safe for now. Pfizer and others may want to get involved in marijuana bc it's a lot less expensive to pick up where others have already researched. It's becoming more main stream, esp in the next few years. There will always be " pill poppers ". Big pharm will always have this revenue. Eventually the revenue of narcotics will slide down, while the rx's of marijuana will rise.
I use to do research on medications that were in stage 3, stage 4a, ( which means they are 18-24 months before they are ready for market ). It is estimated that it takes 8 years and $800 million to began a new medication from start to finish. That's only, if they pass each stage before it. Most new meds don't even get past stage 1. There is a plethora of literature on marijuana that has been researched for big pharm to collect. It would be to there benefit to look into this.
Changing schedules would be the biggest change in my eyes. Doctors would feel less peer reverberation of prescribing a medication that would be in the same categories of narcotics that we prescribe daily. This would change the stigma of marijuana in medicine. If I could prescribe it, I would. But you need a special license to do so at this time.
I am a HUGE PAZOO GUY, I have over $163 K invested in this stock. I want this to play out more than anyone. I do not have ANY financial knowledge / chart interpretation like a lot of you do. I just want to say thank you all who do, breaking charts / financials down for us who do not understand.
PAZOO$$$$$$$$$$$$
I am a ER physician here in Las Vegas. In 2014, the DEA removed the Acetaminophen amount of 500 mg to 325 mg in the narcotics Lortab / Vicodin / Norcos, etc drugs. It is recommended that it is only prescribed under certain circumstances to, 650 mg Q 4-6 hours. The hepatic adverse affects are now being observed at greater levels than ever before. Pt's that have had chronic pain, who rely on these medications are having elevated liver enzymes / hepatic toxicity increasingly more often. I have seen pt's in the ER who do carry a medical marijuana card, and I have spent extra time discussing their opinions on marijuana vs. the traditional narcotics. Most I have found do not smoke it bc they do not like smoking in general. These were pt's with chronic migraines, cancers / chronic back pain/ fibromyalgia / seizures,etc, etc. What I have learned that, most bake the MJ for 2 hours in their ovens at home, then put it in 1 teaspoon of Flax seed oil, with pain relief within 30 minutes. They have stated that if they smoked it, the relief would be faster, but they choose to ingest it instead. These are not people who want to get " high", they only want pain relief. If they wanted to be high, they generally would be smoking it to get the buzz quicker, or just staying on the narcotics. With this being said, it appears that :
A. The DEA is really focusing on the negative side affects of these narcotics, ( also, prescription medications are the most widely abused form of any drug now in the US, even more than cocaine / heroin / MJ. )
B. The DEA will scrutinize medical marijuana, just as closely as the do with OTC medications like Advil / Robitussin, etc in the near future.
C. But I know the pharmaceutical lobbyist are very powerful $$$, they won't go away quietly. That will be another battle to tackle to make marijuana more main stream.
We are in a GREAT PLACE now though. Like others have posted, nothing can move forward, unless it goes thru a lab. Pazoo is the gate keepers. I first hand see a huge benefit as an clinician, to aid in pt's health with marijuana.
PAZOOOOOOOOOO
What doors do you think Sunday's night interview will potentially open for us ? Near & distant ?
The FB page stated that we have dropped a few pegs in the standings. I just wanted to throw this out there. For all of us PAZOOVIANS who really didn't know or understand the OS/ AS #'s until recently, I really appreciate your detailed breakdowns on these subjects. I'm not ashamed to admit I didn't understand or even know about these catergories. But many of you have brought a new light to us who didn't realize this aspect of finances. This isn't my line of work. I bought into a person with this company way back when. I bought into the company bc of knowing Antonio. He is a very bright guy, intelligent person. He is a hustler guys. I bought into the person and his passion, not the OS/ AS #'s. For you who do follow and understand the OS/AS#'s, and are as excited as you all say the numbers are telling you on your end, then you should be as excited about Antonio being at the helm, as equally. As a lot of you have said, we really are on something really special here. I couldn't be more excited about the furture here. Again, thank you for your #'s breakdown, I really appreciate your knowledge.
You mean that building at 2009 Western ave, Las Vegas, NV ? The one I drive by once a week, the building that looks like a fortress or a prison ? Large fence, huge gate, barbed wire on top, with all the security camera on every corner of the building ? That company ? Wow, I'm probably having delusions then....yeah, your right, something is fishy there. I wonder what it is though ?
Every plant is tagged and tracked. The grow houses / dispensarys are under high scrutiny, just like the labs. Anyone in this industry would be CRAZY if the went outside the regulations. It would be suicide to their business if they were caught.
Do we know if they are the only lab in Denver ?

LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
The opening of Nevada’s first medical marijuana dispensaries suffered another setback Wednesday — though perhaps a short one — when a state committee delayed adoption of pesticide rules.
At one point, the first dispensaries were expected to open in January. One shop in the Las Vegas area, Euphoria Wellness, held a ribbon-cutting Tuesday. Some testing labs are also ready to open.
But no dispensaries can sell marijuana to patients until it’s tested. And no labs can test the crop until the Independent Laboratory Advisory Committee makes recommendations on what standards to use.
The delays are frustrating people in the industry, along with marijuana card holders.
“The patient loses here, that’s the problem,” Todd Denkin, CEO of DigiPath Labs in Las Vegas, said after Wednesday’s public meeting of the lab committee.
Committee members said they need a legal ruling from the state attorney general before they can decide on pesticide standards.
Chairman Ed Alexander pointed to a regulation that says marijuana must meet “the most stringent acceptable standard for an approved pesticide chemical residue in any food item.” Read literally, Alexander said, that means marijuana could have no more pesticide residue than meat or milk, which should have almost none because they’re not exposed to pesticides directly.
Committee members said marijuana should be judged more like crops that are treated with pesticides, such as berries or lettuce, but they’re not sure if that would be legal.
Alexander said the committee is “very, very close” to recommending rules. State staffers promised to seek a legal ruling quickly on how the “most stringent” standard must be applied.
The lab committee is expected to have another meeting in about two weeks. It meets via video, with some members in Las Vegas and some, including the chairman, in Carson City.
Once they open, labs will test a sample from each 5-pound batch of marijuana for levels of cannabinoids, heavy metals and pesticide residue, among other things. The committee approved heavy metals standards Wednesday.
Alexander said the committee wants to help the state create rules that protect patients and also don’t burden the industry.
Though the delays are frustrating, Denkin said he hopes Nevada ends up with better standards than other states. He pointed out that Nevada already manages to regulate prostitution and gambling.
The most important is the following - “the most stringent acceptable standard for an approved pesticide chemical residue in any food item.”

This can only refer to PAZOO. If CANL was below 200 on the scale, we are at 241/250. These smaller labs will be weeded out bc they can't uphold these standards, means more business for PAZOO. It's just a matter of time that we are the dominant testing facility in the country.
That would be GOLDEN NEWS if it is so.............$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
To undertand you correctly, we now own the only testing lab in Denver ? That is huge !! Do we know how many feet they screen quaterly ?
Bring em' all kbad, the more the merrier !!! ( $$$$$$ )
I don't think its from the info. I think its from all the new attention, newbies, investors, getting on board for the PAZOO $$$$ train.
