You have to understand that where I am is 17 hours ahead of you in North America. When a press release is made on my side of the world it takes time for the wire services to pick up the press release. It was co-incidental that I saw the news on facebook first (posted from Thailand), and it is sad that due to time lags twixt countries in Oceania, some folks then make claims of inside knowledge. That is simply untrue.
Further, while Bob is a friend of mine, we simply do not discuss internal company business, so that we do not compromise the friendship. When Bob was with me in Australia he was here to help us educate folks about mmj, not to promote CBIS.
