Poll: Florida’s Medical Marijuana Amendment in Danger
By: Jon Walker Wednesday September 17, 2014 7:14 am
Efforts to make Florida the first southern state to adopt medical marijuana are in danger of possibly coming up short this November. A new SurveyUSA/WFLA pollfound only 56 percent of voters at this moment plan to support Amendment 2, Florida’s Right to Medical Marijuana Initiative while 31 percent plan to vote against it. The remaining 13 percent are still undecided
In most states that would be enough, but Florida’s unusual ballot rules require any amendment to receive at least 60 percent of the vote to be adopted. That means Amendment 2 is right at the cusp of victory or defeat.
If the undecided voters break evenly the measure would end up with roughly 62 percent of the vote, just barely clearing the threshold, but when it comes to ballot measures people are who undecided at the end tend to break towards the “No” camp. People often vote to maintain the status quo if they are unsure.
This is just the latest poll to show the election is extremely close. While a clear majority of Florida voters think medical marijuana should be legal, the size of the majority might barely not be big enough. This election could be a real nail biter.

Smoke screen? Pot company backer accused of manipulating stock price of Cannabis-Rx
Marc Stiles Staff Writer- Puget Sound Business Journal

This spring a real estate executive arrived in Seattle to talk about how his company, Cannabis-Rx, was seeking to help purveyors of legal pot set up shop by providing them with commercial space, capital and advice.
It turns out that the company may be part of what federal authorities allege is a $500 million offshore asset protection, securities fraud and money laundering scheme. It's the latest case involving the fast-growing legal cannabis business, and has authorities warning investors to be careful to avoid fraud involving marijuana-related stocks.
Last month, a group of stock promoters with roots in Washington and Oregon were charged in federal court in Tacoma with securities fraud after manipulating stocks of several companies, including marijuana-related GrowLife Inc. and Hemp Inc.
On Tuesday, a multi-count indictment was unsealed in federal court in Brooklyn, N.Y., against six individual defendants and six corporate defendants. Loretta E. Lynch, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said the defendants set up "sham companies with figureheads at the helm in an attempt to deceive U.S. law enforcement and regulators and bragged about their scheme to their clients.”
One defendant is accused of manipulating the stock of Cannabis-Rx, a penny stock company that trades under the ticker symbol CANA, through a series of orchestrated transactions between March 27 and April 16. During this time, when CANA's stock price plummeted from $13.77 per share to 50 cents a share, Cannabis-Rx CEO Llorn Kylo was in Seattle and talked about his Arizona-based company in an interview with the Business Journal. CANA was trading at 29 cents a share Wednesday.
Cannabis-Rx had sent a press release to the Business Journal about a week before the interview, during which Kylo was articulate in spelling out the vision of his business, which he said had raised $30 million to invest in properties suited for the needs of dispensaries, medical clinics, growers and businesses that might supply products and services to the cannabis industry. At the time, he said his company didn't have any clients, but Kylo said he had a lot of interest.
“I could show you my inbox that has essentially exploded,” said Kylo, who said he was underwriting scores of deals. “I’ve probably got 100 deals on my desk,” he said, estimating that fewer than half are from Washington, where medical and recreational marijuana are legal.
Kylo, who was not among those indicted in New York, did not return a voice message that the Business Journal left for him Wednesday morning.
The indicted individuals are Robert Bandfield, a 70-year-old U.S. citizen; Andrew Godfrey, 51 and a citizen of Belize; Kelvin Leach, 34 and a citizen of the Bahamas; Rohn Knowles, 29 and a citizen of the Bahamas; Brian De Wit, 45 and a citizen of Canada; and Cem Can, also known as Jim Can, 44 and a citizen of Canada. Six corporate defendants were indicted: IPC Management Services, LLC; IPC Corporate Services Inc.; IPC Corporate Services LLC (collectively, IPC Corp); Titan International Securities, Inc. (Titan); Legacy Global Markets S.A. (Legacy); and Unicorn International Securities LLC (Unicorn).
The charges include conspiracy to commit securities fraud, tax fraud, and money laundering. Bandfield’s initial appearance for removal proceedings to the Eastern District of New York was scheduled for today in Miami. Authorities said they would seek extradition for the other individual defendants.
Authorities said that to facilitate their alleged interrelated schemes, the defendants created shell companies in Belize and Nevis, West Indies for the corrupt clients and placed nominees at the helm of these companies. This structure was designed to conceal the corrupt clients’ ownership interest in the stock of U.S. public companies, in violation of U.S. securities laws, and enable the corrupt investors to engage in trading under the nominees' names through brokerage firms also set up in Belize.
Authorities also said the defendants’ scheme enabled the U.S. corrupt clients to evade reporting requirements to the IRS by concealing the proceeds generated by the manipulated stock transactions through the shell companies and their nominees. Authorities added that at one point during the government’s investigation, Bandfield boasted to an undercover law enforcement agent that he had specifically designed this “slick” corporate structure to counter new federal laws.

Definition of 'Dilution'
A reduction in the ownership percentage of a share of stock caused by the issuance of new stock. Dilution can also occur when holders of stock options (such as company employees) or holders of other optionable securities exercise their options. When the number of shares outstanding increases, each existing stockholder will own a smaller, or diluted, percentage of the company, making each share less valuable. Dilution also reduces the value of existing shares by reducing the stock's earnings per share.
Why is the Transfer Agent gagged?
She said she was going to buy RFMK.
1. Not that I know of.
2.Not to my knowledge.
3. No patents.
IMO she was poison. They have used up 5 billion shares. A reverse is coming or will be adding shares.
RFMK and Cheryl Shuman history. This is a good read for those that are new to RFMK.

Alaska Marijuana Legalization Initiative Trailing in Latest Poll
That poll, taken at the end of July and the beginning of this month, has the marijuana legalization initiative trailing, 44% to 49%.
Can one state export marijuana to another state? If so, which states.
Florida Polls All Over the Board
Two polls surfaced this week that attempt to gauge the level of support for Amendment 2, the measure to legalize medical marijuana in Florida.
One – conducted by a firm called Gravis Marketing – found that 64% of registered voters surveyed would vote “yes” on the initiative. Cannabis advocates rejoiced, saying the measure appears poised for success just two months out from the election.
But not so fast.
Shortly after Gravis released its survey data, a separate poll by the Bob Graham Center for Public Service emerged, finding support levels at just 57%. The poll was conducted in collaboration with the University of Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research, the Tampa Bay Times and Bay News 9.
The two polls differ in several ways. But they both use language from the text of Amendment 2, so they are similar in a key regard.
The result of the Bob Graham Center poll is cause for huge concern, as the MMJ measure needs 60% of the vote to pass. If it’s the more accurate of the two polls, medical marijuana might not become a reality in Florida this November.
What’s more, both polls show lower levels of support than one taken in June by the main group behind the legalization bid (70% said they would vote yes on Amendment 2) and another one conducted over the summer (nearly 90% said they back MMJ in general).
The big question now: Is support slipping, or are the polls so different that you can’t even compare them?
At the very least, the passage of Amendment 2 is not “the slam dunk that previous polls suggested,” Dr. Christopher McCarty, director of the University of Florida’s economics and research bureau, told the Tampa Bay Times. “There are still a lot of people who don’t know about it, haven’t thought about it or haven’t made up their minds

The purchase was made in the third quarter. The last filling is the second quarter
Amendment 2 should pass but most likely we will not know the rules and regulation for growing until the middle of 2015. IMO the rules will not be as liberal as most people think.
Who said you will be able to ,grow in Florida unless you are a nursery that has been in business 30 years and win one of the five permits in a lottery?

Who and what is Gov. Navarro?
Amendment 2 IMO will pass in Florida. My opinion comes from news articles, which I'm sure the reporters spend hours chasing down politicians and people in the know what will happen when amendment 2 passes . Is any of your relatives in the Florida Legislator?
I have lived in Florida for 66 years which is no big deal. What I do know is MMJ is facing being tightly controlled under the current conservative administration which IMO QASP is not going profit from it.
How can QASP compete with this?

Florida medical-marijuana FAQ. Information straight from the state about how the medical marijuana law could impact the state financially, socially and professionally
Will people be allowed to grow their own marijuana? No. And you won’t catch a break if you’re caught with it, either. All of the existing criminal laws pertaining to illegal possession or distribution of the drug will still apply.

How do I become a medical marijuana grower in Florida? That part is pretty tricky – at the end of the 2014 legislative session, the state passed a bill that limits the number of medical marijuana farms in the state to five – one for each geographic region of Florida – and any grower must be a horticultural business that has been in existence for at least the past 30 years. The state says it’s an attempt to ensure that any medical marijuana grown in Florida is of high quality – but obviously it’s also an attempt to limit the size and scope of the state’s medical marijuana industry.

I don't see why so many are hyping Florida to be QASP silver bullet. IMO QASP should move on and leave Florida alone.
