Based upon Congress' track record, even if something were truly on the table re: legalizing pot, nothing will happen prior to the August recess. And that I will bet on! BTW, the last thing TAUG needs to see is legalized pot. Right now, TAUG is playing in a relatively small market niche. Were MJ legalized by the Feds, take a guess how many well-financed players could opt to jump into the gum business.
So TAUG's chewing gum is legal, thus approved for sale via interstate commerce. Based on your stated principle of marketing, the gum should already be the subject of an intense marketing campaign. Unfortunately, TAUG's miniscule stash of cash is not enough to make a difference. The level of demand for TAUG's pricey gum is a joke. No demand = no sales! Any intense marketing effort should have commenced months ago.
FYI, TAUG's CBD-laced chewing gum is not particularly unique, thus there are all sorts of potential industry threats. In reality TAUG's gum supplier could be a potential major threat. Specifically, the supplier could sign on with larger, more productive and better financed sellers. Might there be an appetite to do this? Basically, TAUG is nothing more than an easily replaced middleman. What value does TAUG bring to the table? It seems pretty certain, CEO Seth Shaw promised to deliver solid distribution. FYI, Shaw's vaunted distribution partners have failed for every single TAUG consumer product since 2012. It is pretty certain the original deal with the chewing gum manufacturer was accomplished by promoting Shaw's purportedly special Rolodex, but one 1 or 2 poorly performing distributors and a mostly unknown web-based store, says volumes about Shaw's special Rolodex! Rest assured, more inventory write-downs are coming. When is the gum supplier agreement up for review/renewal? It could get messy!
