I gotta save my eyes and stop reading this board for a while, the eye-rolling is taking it's toll.
Everytime I pop in here, it's like deja vu.
Hold,
Then, next summer, buy a boat.

Great, something to keep him busy other than selling off BLO
I stopped by today to see if anything was new....all I saw was this cat fight.
I think the next significant update will be that it's submitted for court certification.
Right, ok thanks.
Just seems odd that there's no information anywhere on these guys.
Is there an active website for this company? I can't seem to find any details about this thing.
Did you get any information on their progress with the current testing?
Also, when I spoke with him about a month or more ago, it didn't sound like they needed a full blown clinical trial again after testing internally. Sounded like they just needed to get it court certified.
Do you know what testing/trial/certification steps are exactly required from this point forward?
cheers.

Finore looking good someday down the road?
Who's ahead of Cannabix in the THC Breathalyzer development?
That's the exact point he's making.
Anyone who's done any research knows the swabs don't work well for road-side testing, and that's why we're all here - a breathalyzer that can detect recent (2 hours ago) usage.
News would be good.
Something else that would be good right now, is an actual photo of this device in use, more than just a mockup, like the Beta 2 was.
Exactly.
" only screens within hours of use" is kinda the entire point.
They have to use something the government has access to now, so obviously at this point they have to stick with swaps - knowing full well it's not a valid test.
By next spring the Liberals will up everyone's confidence when they announce there is a breathalyzer available.
The Liberal Party in Canada, and specifically Ontario right now, is the worst it's ever been - Billions of dollars spent on the most ridiculous things.
Let's hope they rake in many more billions in Tax Revenue starting next summer.
Yes, seems like a giant waste of everyone's time.
I thought the original statement from them said 'By July 1' anyway.
Although, it's the Liberals, they're all about wasting time and money.
No, but I'm looking forward to next March, when the price of this stock buys me a new boat and truck to tow it for mine.
I'm pretty sure it was the other way around.
What are the other companies that are dumping development dollars into a THC breathalyzer, besides HoundLabs?
That would be nice too, but the specifics of the sale of marijuana is going to be left to the provinces.
That's not going to happen overnight, so they'll need this lead-time to figure everything out, I think that's a big part of the timeframe here.
Our government isn't know for moving very quickly, and in Ontario's scenario we aren't used to the Liberals making very good decisions - so who knows how this will work. They could turn the LCBO into the only place to buy, they're that short sighted.
Anyway, let's hope Rav has some buddies that are helping us out.
Wouldn't it be good to keep that stuff though, for reference in the future....just in case someone new stumbles upon this company when they announce their next big idea?
Haha, that would be alright with me too, I'm ready to ride to Mar$ with what I already have.
Keeping a bucket of shares until this hits the few dollar mark in 12 months, but today was a great day to day trade some, in and out for a nice $2750.
Could have held out for a little bit more, but got nervous, LOL. Glad I didn't now, she's tracking lower.
Anyway, approval for Clinical Trial comes soon enough, then with that data it'll make everyone happy - and hopefully wealthy.
I'm holding long what I originally bought, with the expectation we will see a few more drops in price before we get there.
Once we start hearing more about this breathalyzer on the regular news, and generates some solid data and more interest from 'regular/non MJ investors', we're set.
You mis-read that.
This statement:
"The ability to detect THC and its metabolites in human breath is a significant scientific breakthrough that allows for real-time pharmacokinetic analysis. Such analysis provides a method for the identification of frequent users of marijuana who tend to retain THC in their body for longer periods of time, relative to infrequent marijuana users who tend to clear THC from their body more quickly."
Is explaining the fact that they CAN differentiate between THC being present from recent consumption.
They are saying, as they have all along, that measuring the breath with this device solves the problem that blood samples have had - frequent users have more THC on their blood for longer periods of time.
Anyway, they're progressing, sounds positive, and the stock is up.
You should sell then.
I hope we get saved with a NR next week on the progress of their testing....we just need some news about how it's going well and progressing to plan.
Too much to ask? Too busy saving FIN?
L O L!
Hmmm, so are you sticking with this thing longer, to see what comes of the information in this mysterious letter?
I agree, everything between now and then is just people blowing smoke. I just read this forum for the jokes now. :)
Maybe a bit, but she's lining up to explode very soon....
Jesus, why is this thing dying.
I'm hoping their earnings release this week gives us a little bump, but we really need oil to come up.
should be good once we get those new assets flowing for us.
What news are you looking for, other than what they already provided in their update on Feb 16th?
They are starting their live subject testing this month while waiting approval for trial.
Sure, it's 7 days into the month, but if you're looking for new about that already, you're going to be disappointed every day for a while.
This isn't going to do much, until the trial is successful.
I don't think the share price of BLOZF will be affected by the BreathTec Discussions at PITTCON.
Some people on here seem to think March 9th is going to be an explosive day for the stock, but I'd highly doubt it.
It'll be a good summer for us, but March isn't going to be anything big.
What were you expecting, as far as a news release on Friday - after they just provided their last update the prior week?
Nope. And I couldn't care less.

Cannabix Technologies Provides Update on Marijuana Breathalyzer Development
?
Vancouver, British Columbia, February 16, 2017 -- Cannabix Technologies Inc. (CSE: BLO) (OTC PINK: BLOZF) (the “Company or Cannabix”) developer of the Cannabix Marijuana Breathalyzer for law enforcement and the workplace, is pleased to provide a development update on its FAIMS Beta 2.0 (field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry) based marijuana breathalyzer for the detection of ?9-tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) in human breath. Development in Gainesville, Florida and Vancouver, BC is progressing well and the Company expects to begin pre-trial live subject testing during the month of March.
Since introducing the Beta 2.0 version of the Cannabix Marijuana Breathalyzer in late 2016, Company scientists have been engaged in developmental testing, method development, and continuously improving the design of the device. At the same time, experiments have been done with THC to characterize the individual parts of the instrument and improve the efficiency of human breath collection and sampling.
The Cannabix Marijuana Breathalyzer consists of proprietary components including a generator enabled by the latest chip technology to provide extremely fast high-voltage square wave transitions that significantly improve chemical separations, and a novel plasma ionization source that provides efficient ionization with a relatively small footprint. The Company anticipates completing developmental testing of the Beta 2.0 device within the next month while preparing for preliminary human subject testing.
Various technical leaps have been made with several components over the last 3 months. In particular, the dielectric barrier discharge ionization source (“DBD”) which allows efficient ionization with relatively low voltages, has been significantly optimized in every aspect of the source (sizes, geometries, and materials) leading to significantly smaller instrument footprint. In addition, the high-voltage square wave generator (“HVSW”) which causes ions to oscillate rapidly at a high frequency between the FAIMS electrodes, to create separation from each other, has been drastically improved.
The Company is working with its Vancouver based engineering firm to ruggedize and refine its breath collection component (i.e. the collection tube where users breathe into the breathalyzer). In particular, engineers are testing a very exciting proprietary flow-through heat exchanger technology that stabilizes breath temperature in extreme cold as well as humid temperature settings.
In December, a special Task Force set up by the Government of Canada to review the future regulation of recreational cannabis in Canada, issued a report, where the among other things, emphasised the issue of marijuana impaired driving as a critical issue and presented a host of specific recommendations to provincial Ministers across Canada, including:
Supporting the development of an appropriate roadside drug screening device for detecting THC levels, and invest in these tools;
Determining whether to establish a per se limit as part of a comprehensive approach to cannabis-impaired driving and re-examine per se limits should a reliable correlation between THC levels and impairment be established;
Investing in baseline data collection and ongoing surveillance and evaluation in collaboration with provinces and territories.
The Government of Canada, is expected to table marijuana legalization legislation in the spring. The Company will use key metrics and guidance from Drugs and Driving Committee (DDC), which is an advisory body to the Canadian Department of Justice on issues relating to drug-impaired driving and has been given a mandate to develop reports regarding drugs that are proposed for zero-tolerance and per se legislation, including cannabis.
What did i miss this morning, anyone have any real news on why this is tanking today?
They are still awaiting approval for their trial, so we likely will not hear any news until March.
