Thank you for the clarifications.
And theres no BTHCF speakers that I see at the global conference at the end of Feb in the UK.
I must be missing something here.
Please enlighten me.
So what what does NGM signing with Merck do for BTHCF?
Fake news, as suspected.
"Seedo of Yokne’am received $2 million from Cannabics Pharmaceuticals (not Cannabix Technologies as previously reported) to help Seedo acquire majority shares in US-based GRCR Partners; Cannabics eventually will acquire the merged company. Seedo is starting to ship its at-home automatic growing box, which is geared to raising plants including cannabis."
I may be mistaken, but in the past I thought this law firm had advertised to represent people in Florida that had already been tested by "marijuana breathalyzers". Their current website references Cannabix and FAIMS.

You beat me to it.
Well said. This was a hold 'em or fold 'em day. We will see if its red or black sooner or later. Patent approval or denial will begin show what color it might land on, succesful or unsuccsesful clinical trials will make it clearer and a buyout or bust will settle the ball in the slot.
"Is Florida’s effort to stop marijuana-impaired drivers half-baked?"
Third paragraph from the end:
"Technology could one day help solve the problem of detecting marijuana impairment. A lab at the University of Florida, for example, is working with a Canadian company on building the first-ever THC breath test."

"Cannabix Technologies Inc (CNSX:BLO) Headed To The Moon After Cannabis Breathalyzer Breakthrough"

Good stuff.
Too bad for us you are both absolutely correct.
As Jack Nicholson said about Stanley Kubrick during the filming of "The Shining", when they were forced to do each scene 100 times over the better part of a year:
"Just because you're a perfectionist doesn't mean you're perfect".
Thats an excellent point.
In the grand scheme of things, we are the part of the totem pole that is buried in the ground. Although WE know what are holding due to ours and others research and DD, to the average outside investor, investing in this still requires a big leap of faith. No earnings, no patent approval, unproven technology, etc. Not to mention the questionable market this thing trades in to begin with. When I tell some people about it, I have to save the "Canadian" part until the end, or they wont even listen. Half the time I think this Canadian stock market is like pro wrestling. The outcome for the day is already determined by a few people who push things one way or another. Yesterdays jump on low volume could be a case in point.
And then on top of everything else we are lumped in with a sector that is all over the place with respect to legality and what the future holds, even though we arent a marijuana company.
So yes, I think we have held up very well given other stock market circumstances. I think it serves to reinforce just how strong the future looks for this company and how big the upside is.
Good find, Euro.

Look at the graphs.
In my unscientific interpretation:
IF YOU BLOW 5, YOU'RE HIGH
Breath Markers
Breath testing is most frequently utilized by law enforcement officials, but this technology may offer much wider application. THC was first reported in breath specimens when individuals blew into a bag collecting breath that was subsequently passed through a trapping filter [55. THC was removed selectively from the filter and quantified by LC-MS/MS; breath samples from 18 chronic and 11 occasional cannabis users were examined following smoking of a 6.5% THC cigarette [56. THC ≥50 pg/filter was detected up to 4 h after cannabis smoking in frequent cannabis users and for a shorter time in occasional users. Thus, while breath is a good matrix for identifying recent cannabis use, no THCCOOH has been identified in breath [56. Many companies are pursuing the development of cannabis breathalyzers for roadside DUID testing. Of note, it is important not to contaminate breath specimens with oral fluid because cannabis concentrations may be in the thousands of µg/l immediately after intake. Taken together, breath THC represents a promising future matrix for monitoring recent THC intake, provided that manufacturers can develop on-site instruments that are specific and sensitive in identifying low pg/filter THC concentrations.
Hey, Dark Knight, we need the interpretive statement for that report please!
Thats interesting. I am sure you will let us know what you find. You would think it would be the opposite.
What has been wiped clean?
You only lose money if you sell when it goes down.
Alan Greenspan reiterated last year that the best way for people to buy stocks is to buy them and forget they own them.
I just cant believe its legal for them to continually push it up and down and make money both ways.
Perhaps a lawsuit or complaint to the regulatory organizations would bring more scrutiny to the entire operations of both companies. Even if it goes nowhere it may keep people on their toes and let them know others are watching. Scrutiny from the media works wonders too.
That would just look like more icing on an already stale cake.
Yes, it sounds like it.
It is just surprising to me that more writers dont write articles that focus on the team of scientists that are working on the device. That would put it on anyones radar.
I am surprised we didn't get a little boost from that. It didn't show up on my Google news alert on Cannabix, so maybe it was not widely read.
"Wired" article with Dr. Huestis on THC detection.
Probably posted before, but just in case.

The SEDAR report lists Menssana Research in NJ as possible "competition" in addition to Owlstone in the UK.
Old news for most of you.

Two of the leading scientists for Cannabix, Dr. Richard Yost and Dr. Marilyn Huestis, spoke at the 10th Annual MSACL conference in Palm Springs, CA today.
https://www.msacl.org/index.php
This is the Mass Spectrometry Applications for the Clinical Lab annual US conference.
The MSACL Conference provides a forum for the discussion of developments in the clinical application of mass spectrometry.
It brings together experts in the field of mass spectrometry and manufacturers of mass spectrometry equipment.
Of note:
"MSACL 2018 US will be the opening year for both the Informatics & Analytics and Cannabinoids tracks."
The attendees will also nominate someone to recieve the MSACL Distinguished Contribution Award.
The conference ends tomorrow evening.
Dr. Huestis recently won the 2018 Robert F. Borkenstein Award given by the The Alcohol, Drugs and Impairment Division of the National Safety Council. The award recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to alcohol and drug related traffic safety. The award, named for Breathalyzer® inventor Robert F. Borkenstein, recognizes individuals who, through a lifetime of service, have made outstanding contributions to the field of alcohol- and drug-related traffic safety. Honorees are selected by professionals involved in the Alcohol, Drugs and Impairment Division, which is managed by the National Safety Council.
Dr. Bruce Goldberg, another scientist at Cannabix, was the 2017 recipient of this award.

(me too!)
And you are right, I stand corrected and agree with you on the volume, magazine etc.
We are just at different places personally as to where we get off. I understand completely what you are saying in regards to your situation, everybody is in a different place.
I am staying to let this thing run its course, whatever that may be. My main reasons are that I think something like this does not come along that often, that I think there is a definite need for the product, and that if anybody can get it done it is the people we have onboard.
I truly hope you get what you need out of this and wish you all the luck in the world.
I may be wrong here, but the only people following a pink sheet stock are the owners, friends and family. I just don't see the stock deserving of any huge uptick just because we had a news release.
I must be in the minority. I don't really care much what this stock does day to day. We have solid people, at the top of their respective fields, working towards a finished product.
Until they say it can't be done or they bail, I am still all in. What the share price does until a definitive answer on the viability of a finished product is given, I am not going to be all that concerned.

Are there any leaves LEFT?!
HAHA!!
Great post and info Alzamon. I am long for the same reasons and did the same DD you did and came to the same conclusions.
What Alzamon said is a great explanation of how it works. There is only one way how anything gets "court certified", as some of you are saying. What you really mean is "legal precedent", I believe. That means something has been challenged by the courts and withstood scrutiny by defense experts and prosecution experts and has been determined by the courts to be accepted by them as evidence without allowing a long drawn-out examination of the device's inherent function for each and every case. An example of this would be an alcohol breathalyzer or a radar gun. Events relating to the arrest can be brought before the courts as challenges, but generally speaking, after the breathalyzer, radar gun, etc. has already been challenged ad nauseum, it does not get challenged every time it is used as evidence, because there is legal precedent by other courts accepting the device as proof of something..
To clarify it for some of the people who may be expecting a speedy resolution on that front, it is a lengthy process. This does not mean the device cannot be relied upon to be utilized by police departments and the workplace, which is the larger market in my opinion. In other words, it can be purchased and used without being tested by the courts. But it will be tested starting with arrest #1 and job firing #1.
Something is only going to get tested by the courts after a defendant is arrested and charged with an offense based on the evidence provided by the police department, which relies on the breathalyzer device that indicates impairment. Then the case gets appealed, local to county, county to state, state to district, and possibly district to Supreme Court. Obviously, it doesn't happen overnight.
All of these cases get challenged by the defense of the arrested individual as to the veracity of the reading on the instrument. For example: test conditions, burping, time of last drink, police radios on nearby that may affect the results, time of last calibration on the instrument, current training requirements fulfilled for the officer, etc, etc. But those are commonplace legal tactics to this day with alcohol breathalyzer readings and devices used for speeding, etc.
With a new device like a marijuana breathalyzer, you can expect the device to be challenged at all these levels. Reps from the company have to testify. Here is where it gets tricky. Lets take laser guns for clocking speeds. For years, they were not allowed in a handful of states. Why? Because when company reps were on the stand, they refused to reveal the exact algorithm that made their laser give an accurate reading of the drivers speed. They would explain all the science as to how it worked, except that specific math. The company claimed they did not want their competitors to know the algorithm. The defense said then you can't prove it works. Some states knew it was BS and let the device be certified, but a handful would not. Eventually, perhaps after all their competitors figured it out, they revealed it all anyway, and now they are legit across the US in a lot of areas.
The same thing may happen here. Our people are plenty smart. I am sure they are 10 steps ahead of whatever we are thinking of and will be more than prepared to face any legal challenges. Again, this isn't their first rodeo. Dr. Goldberger is a forensic toxicologist and pathologist. I am sure he is acknowledged as an "expert witness" in courts at all levels in multiple districts, and has testified more times than he can remember. Dr. Yost can explain the function of the machine and how it identifies certain molecules. Dr. Huestis can explain why the device targets certain molecules that indicate impairment. Then the court challenges are met, court acknowledgement is on the record, legal precedent set, and the Cannabix Breathalyzer is no longer challenged for it's desired function: to indicate impairment.
Yes he did. Nice work Shell and Roland.
This list is as of March, 2016, from Chemical & Engineering News magazine, ranked by sales (this is only the instrument sales of some of the companies):
https://cen.acs.org/articles/95/i10/Top-instrument-firms-2016.html
"By itself, Thermo Fisher Scientific accounts for almost 18% of the group total and 9% of the broader market."
They are ranked #1 and their sales are $4.39B.
Agilent is ranked #4 and sales are only $1.89B.
I think only Thermo Fisher has deep enough pockets to buy BLOZF.
I am not sure Agilent or Shimadzu with $2B can afford BLOZF.
Drager only has $3B in sales and I don't know if they even make MS equipment, but Shell would know more about them than I do.
For what its worth.
If its any help Shell, my Android phone readout of the boards has been fubared for the last 2 days. I thought it was some setting I messed up. Like you said, all stretched out/crowded and messed up.
