Love that dist agreement w/ Tappy.It seems the ELEV8 products should be a prime mover in those convenience store/gas station type locations.Lots of us "working stiffs" kind of people popping in to grab something quick either for lunch or just on the fly going to work,on break,or to the next job site.Great "grab-n-go" product.Excellent.
But they say that it's "not fermentable", so I guess ya can't use it to make hard cider.
Yes- stevia is derived from a plant.--"Stevia is a sweetener and sugar substitute extracted from the leaves of the plant species Stevia rebaudiana, native to Brazil and Paraguay. The active compounds are steviol glycosides (mainly stevioside and rebaudioside), which have 30 to 150 times the sweetness of sugar, are heat-stable, pH-stable, and not fermentable. The body does not metabolize the glycosides in stevia and therefore it contains 0 calories like some artificial sweeteners. Stevia's taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar, and some of its extracts may have a bitter or licorice-like aftertaste at high concentrations.
The legal status of stevia as a food additive or dietary supplement varies from country to country. In the United States, high-purity stevia glycoside extracts are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) since 2008 and allowed as ingredients in food products, but stevia leaf and crude extracts do not have GRAS or Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for use in food. The European Union approved stevia additives in 2011, while the people of Japan have widely used stevia as a sweetener for decades."
Lots took their profits yesterday,IMO.Looking for it to churn and bounce for a while today, with a little UP finish.Should be more buyers than sellers.Close of .052 .I bet 4 bottles of iced cbd coffee.---Grizz
CA Senate votes to allow banks, credit unions to accept marijuana retailer deposits
Published 24 hours ago
The California Senate voted almost unanimously to pass a bill that would allow banks and credit unions to accept cash deposits from cannabis retailers.
The 35-1 vote would allow banks to issue special checks to the retailers that could be used for certain purposes, including paying taxes or California-based vendors.
State lawmakers also say such banking activity would make it easier for licensed cannabis retailers to pay taxes, which fell far short of expectations in the first year after state legalization.
“This is as close as we can get until the federal government changes its policy,” said Sen. Bob Hertzberg, a Democrat from Van Nuys who wrote the bill.
The measure now moves to the California Assembly.
Heidi?
Well now ,aren't you just full of ............................let's just call it opinions.
Well then if one applies some common sense,I would think anyone involved in TRTC stock for any length of time would've realized some profits over the years.Ya know with some of the BIG swings in share price and all.Only those who jumped in for the very first time,post r/s, would've gotten burned.Knowing that post r/s would not be a good time to enter,I doubt there were many virgins who entered at that time.Maybe some folks jumped in at the $2 level and are currently at a loss,but we'll get back there.The company is decent,the political climate will catch up soon.TRTC is not going away,IMO.
Well that's a pretty presumptuous statement.NOBODY has a clue here how any one bought,sold or traded their TRTC stock through the years.Don't be ridiculous.
Apparently all of those (us) who ever bought TRTC shares never EVER sold any of them and took any profits at any time over the years(according to some "brilliant" posters around here).All we did was buy and hold and lose most of our money.That is according to "some who" apparently KNOW IT ALL.My guess would be that very few really ever lost any money here over the years.Maybe didn't make all we had hoped for,but to that end the game is still being played in the mj world.IMHO, of course.
Well I'm certainly rooting for you,as well as everyone else here in the land of VATE.For the time being it's been a very disappointing ride to say the least.
Wow after 2 years of hiding in the sludge the "carpet crawlers leave their corners" and lpr bubbles back to the surface.TRTC still alive and kicking and and doing business.

Amen to all of that,brother.When did the American people (in general) stop trying to be better human beings? We used to at least TRY to be the good guys. We should ALL be intelligently independent,instead of blindly following ANY so-called "political party".
God help us all. Can't understand the support of wannabe dick-taters.And no,liberal I'm not but sensible I am.
To that I say "DAMN STRAIGHT I WOULD".JMHO,of course.Blame the F-N politicians for the disastrous performance of the US mj industry to date.TRTC just needs to stay afloat until more intelligent heads prevail in legalizing the US mj industry.There are more intelligent heads out there,isn't there?......
Wow that review reads like like "beverage porn".Makes me want to feel the cool liquidation slowly cross my tongue and slide refreshingly down my throat,as the caffeine and cbd's tantalizingly work their way into my bloodstream.Go VATE! "EleVATE the experience".
What a crock of sh#at that statement is-- "All other Marijuana company making money." Most marijuana companies are actually NOT making any money.They may have sales,but the majority are NOT making money.
Those are great sentiments indeed.It's a damn shame politicians don't work that way anymore.They should all have to stay after and write the word "compromise" on the chalkboard ONE MILLION TIMES each.Perhaps then they will remember that sometimes folks in the other party have good ideas too.This "my way or the highway" brand IS destroying the good ol' US of A.Shameful ,to say the least.Meanwhile ,lookit the $$$$ being made by Canadian mj companies.Oh what could've been in the US.
A blip in the right direction.I'll take it for today.Almost time for cold ones,tick tock.
I just don't understand the a-hole politicians(or others) who seem to think that by making/keeping mj illegal,people will not partake of it. How the f*&k has that worked out for the past 100 years? Answer-- IT HASN'T.Which just goes to show that they don't really care about anyone's health or welfare,that's not what this fight is about --the proliferation of pharmaceuticals confirms that also-- but instead mj prohibition is just a tool used to keep certain elements of the population under control.Complete and utter BS.Meanwhile states and federal gov't are losing out on an absolute boatload of tax dollars by not legalizing Gods Green Weed.F-N RIDICULOUS.Let's hope that in the meantime Derek can strengthen our TRTC footprint that's already in place.Firm up what we already possess,ramp up the cultivation,solidify all things California and keeping in mind that it IS the 5th largest economy on the planet.We all know prohibition is NOT going to survive,yet it also seems like it will die a long,slow death.IMHO,you know it.
Terra Tech to Sell Cannabis to Recreational Users in California Town
Published: Mar 20, 2019 11:31 a.m. ET
Mar 20, 2019 (Market Exclusive via COMTEX) -- Cannabis-focused agriculture firm Terra Tech Corp. (otcqx:TRTC) has unveiled plans to begin selling cannabis to recreational users in California.
The City Council of San Leandro voted March 18 to approve an ordinance for adult-use cannabis sales in the city. The ordinance is subject to a second reading which is scheduled to occur on April 1 and will go into effect on May 1.
The ordinance would allow for existing medical dispensaries to sell cannabis to recreational users 21 years of age or older, starting May 1. Terra Tech currently operates the only licensed medical cannabis dispensary, located at 1915 Fairway Drive San Leandro.
The City Council's decision is important for Terra Tech, which has seen consistent medical foot traffic at its Blum San Leandro dispensary. According to the company, a significant number of adult users, over 200 a week on average, have been turned away since the medical facility opened its doors on January 11.
The company is reporting strong sales in San Leandro which is a suburb city of San Francisco and Oakland, centered in the dynamic San Francisco Bay Area, with a community of more than 89,000 residents.
Terra Tech CEO Derek Peterson states that the ruling “brings us a step closer to serving the adult use market in that region. The Blum, San Leandro medical cannabis dispensary opened in January this year, to strong demand, and we are excited to prepare for a ramp in sales.” He expects
The company is currently developing cannabis strains and genetics at its West Grand Avenue cultivation facility. It plans to sell those products through its San Leandro dispensary under the IVXX premium brand. Peterson expects that “the store will have the potential to generate a $5 million run rate” following the start of adult-use sales in May.
US House committee poised to consider cannabis banking bill next week
Published 13 hours ago
A bill to provide federal protection for banks serving state-legal marijuana businesses is scheduled for markup by a congressional committee next week, a notable development for cannabis banking legislation.
Maxine Waters, chair of the House Financial Services Committee, announced that her group will mark up the SAFE Banking Act on March 26, a process that means the committee is scheduled to debate, amend and vote on whether to send the legislation to the full House.
The Secure And Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act, which has been dormant in Congress for several years, received its first committee hearing last month under a new Democrat-controlled House.
The markup is scheduled to take place at 2 p.m. ET March 26; a live broadcast can be seen here.
“The fact that the SAFE Banking Act, which has unprecedented support in the House, is getting the serious consideration of a markup is a huge step in the right direction for the safety and transparency of the legal cannabis industry,” Aaron Smith, executive director of the National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA), said in a statement.
It’s unclear whether the banking bill would even be considered by the Senate, but experts have said the measure has one of the best opportunities for success among the numerous cannabis bills that have been introduced in 2019.
The measure would prevent federal banking regulators from punishing banks for working with cannabis-related businesses that are complying with state laws.
The bill, according to the NCIA, also would require the Financial Institution Examination Council to develop guidance to help credit unions and banks understand how to lawfully serve cannabis businesses.
The bipartisan legislation has 138 co-sponsors in the House.
Terra Tech Announces Plans to Commence Adult-Use Market Sales at its Blüm Cannabis Dispensary in San Leandro, California
Published: Mar 19, 2019 8:31 a.m. ET
March 19, 2019 (ACCESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- City Council of San Leandro, CA Votes to Allow Adult Use Sales
IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 19, 2019 / Terra Tech Corp. (OTCQX: TRTC) ("Terra Tech") or (the "Company"), a vertically integrated cannabis-focused agriculture company, today announced that the City Council of San Leandro, CA voted last night to approve an ordinance for adult-use cannabis sales in the City of San Leandro. The ordinance is subject to a second reading which is scheduled to occur on April 1, 2019 and will go into effect on May 1, 2019. The ordinance would allow for existing medical dispensaries to sell cannabis to recreational users 21 years of age or older, starting May 1, 2019. The Company currently operates the only licensed medical cannabis dispensary open in the City at 1915 Fairway Drive San Leandro, CA, 94577.
Terra Tech's Blüm San Leandro dispensary has seen consistent medical foot traffic and a significant number of adult users, over 200 a week on average, have been turned away since the medical facility opened its doors on January 11, 2019. The Company is experiencing robust sales in San Leandro which is a prominent suburb city of San Francisco and Oakland, centered in the dynamic San Francisco Bay Area, with a vibrant community of more than 89,000 residents. The Company also has an extraction permit which was issued by the City of San Leandro.
Chief Executive Officer, Derek Peterson, said, "This ruling by the City Council of San Leandro brings us a step closer to serving the adult use market in that region. The Blüm, San Leandro medical cannabis dispensary opened in January this year, to strong demand, and we are excited to prepare for a ramp in sales. We are currently developing proprietary cannabis strains and genetics at our West Grand Avenue cultivation facility, which we plan to sell through our San Leandro dispensary under our IVXX® premium brand, and it is our expectation that, following the start of adult-use sales in May, the store will have the potential to generate a $5 million run rate."
Ha Ha ,looks like our paths crossed on this one Briar.
I'd say she's some wh*r# looking for a payday, as per her usual MO.In the end TRTC bought out her portion and now OWNS IT ALL.That's very good ,in my book.--------As expected, Terra Tech denied any wrongdoing and refuted all of the allegations. It also said it was pursuing numerous counter-claims against Hegerich. (Source: “Terra Tech Corp Issues Statement in Response to Meritless Lawsuit Filed by Business Associate in State of Nevada,” Terra Tech Corp, December 18, 2018.)
Of the claims made against Terra Tech, Derek Peterson, Chairman and CEO said the following:
Far from the image portrayed in recent interviews, Heidi Loeb Hegerich is in fact a wealthy, sophisticated investor with a history of disputes with business partners. Ms. Hegerich was married to David Loeb, one of the founders of Countrywide Mortgage. She has described herself as a business executive, real estate developer and self-described ‘mistress to the rich and famous.’ We reaffirm our commitment to our shareholders to correct any misleading and inaccurate reports and remain committed to providing accurate information to our investors.
Terra Tech went on to say that Hegerich’s lawsuit was an attempt to manipulate the company into paying her money she was not owed.-------------
All things being equal, Terra Tech remains a financially solid cannabis company with a growing presence in California (the largest legal marijuana market in North America) and Nevada.
Things are looking up for Terra Tech stock. 2019 could be the year that the company rewards all those patient TRTC stock investors who weathered 2018. ----- https://www.profitconfidential.com/stock/terra-tech-stock/terra-tech-corp-turns-bullish/
As do the vast majority of cannabis companies that are currently operating.
Well we know that no U.S. company that touches the plant was going to be allowed to uplist while it was still fed illegal.We also know that as the share count was approaching a maxed out A/S number something needed to be done.The R/S was preferable to raising the share count,imo.Pain in the short term,that is true.Long term prospects for TRTC still looking good from my view.
Hey,reverse splits suck.We all know that.But it had to be done(we ALL knew that) and NOW TRTC is in fine shape with share structure.With the boatload of assets that TRTC owns and operates,we're in great position for the next leg up.One can't deny what TRTC/BLUM owns,although some will try.They've certainly not been sitting around as an empty shell like some companies.Lots of hard work over the years have built up a fine company for TRTC/BLUM, IMHO.A REAL company with REAL LICENSES,REAL BUILDINGS,GROWING AND SELLING REAL PRODUCTS.
Share count of 92 million is EXTREMELY reasonable for a company like TRTC,I'd even say it's pretty damn low.ACB* up north just crossed a BILLION shares (that's right-BILLION)a few days ago.TRTC doing quite well under the current political umbrella,IMHO.
Really,the best name that marketing could come up with for their motorcycle is "REVOLT"? I know Volt is taken by a car company,but there must be something better.I find that name to be just a bit REvolting.Something like Revolution would be better,imo.
I hear the BLUM dispensaries carry a multitude of products to help calm nerves and relieve stress and manage anger.Just sayin'.Great run on TRTC stock price,some profit taking is surely to be expected.
Sounds like a man who spends a lot of time playing around with POS stocks.Well, you've come to the WRONG place.Legalization will take TRTC to the wild blue yonder.And you can think back to what you could've had.
So many hours wasted on something one has no interest in is truly ridiculous.I find the past two weeks extremely interesting for holders of TRTC stock,myself included.TRTC clawing back some lost ground is a very good sign."Bidness B Bluming" indeed.
Well these are places that were granted TEMPORARY licenses and they were well aware that they needed to apply for permanent ones.If they didn't well than TS for them.That does not concern TRTC at all,except that it might INCREASE sales at BLUM locations.We've seen all along that Derek Peterson has always done it "by the books" with TRTC/BLUM operations.Perhaps we'll be making some acquisitions of some of these wayward ops in the future,as they get put out of business for not abiding by the rules and regs.
You're not totally wrong,if you look at last week.That has since changed quite a bit.I firmly believe in what TRTC has going on with all the different ops up and running.Look at TRTC valuation vs. the big Canada stocks.IMO,TRTC is a no-brainer.The stock took a beating for a while,but I see it really under valued right now,and still has a bit of ground to make up.In the long run I think TRTC is a home run.Legalization at the fed level will sky rocket TRTC share price,along with the whole US industry.Hope your goldleaf rides up for you when that time comes.TRTC has done some tremendous work the past few years.It's up to the gov't now to finally take off the shackles,open up banking and LE-GAL-IZE.GLTU.
You mean all ONE of the r/s? Cuz that's all there was.And we're all aware it was done to fix the share structure of TRTC.With a float under 90 million TRTC is in great shape as legalization takes hold across the US of A.It seems folks are finally starting to realize that.Looking to build on the great week we had last week.The upside to TRTC is off the charts.You could say it's gold,just not goldleaf.
Ahhhhh,the ol' r/s fear mongering storytime cuz TRTC price is rising.EVERYBODY was aware of the coming of the previous r/s due to overly inflated share count.Hell it was even announced prior to it happening,giving people time to bail if they chose to.That is no longer an issue with TRTC CURRENTLY having only 87 million shares out.That's a pretty damn low number for a company with the assets that TRTC/BLUM possesses.I-M-H-O
