Update to counter misleading info ...
Peter Jacobs told me that machines have already been manufactured and programmed for Colorado, and are being shipped from the Canadian manufacturer. In fact, ERBB has already been approached by a large company in Hong Kong about the production of more machines. It's real.
The PARC deal was a pain in the arse because it delayed ERBB's progress in getting the machines to Colorado, which was their initial goal. The idiot running PARC thought he could be at the forefront because he knew one of the big wigs at ERBB. It's the same old BS we all go through in life. Someone pumps themselves up telling others they know so and so and oh, it sounds so important. Well, it's all crap. I have owned small businesses since age 20 and I have seen it all. Friends, relatives, business associates say they know this person and that person -- blah, blah , blah -- and nobody ever comes through. Just ego BS. The reality is that it's not who you know or who you ****, it's about who takes care of biz and pays the money. It's "show me the money," and PARC wouldn't show it. PARC expected ERBB to show it. So, a mistake was made to accommodate someone who was just blowing smoke (excuse the pun). After the machines are dispensing all over AZ, that PARC owner will come crawling back to try to get a few machines and good luck to him getting any.
Some people are clamoring about ERBB having MJ products to offer. They had a lot of products on a literal drawing board in the office that they will be stocking in the machines down the road. They are not licensed at this time to sell MJ. Right now -- as far as the machines are concerned -- the focus is on providing dispensing with security and making commissions on all products that are vended. Again, ERBB is not about stocking their own products right now. Later, but not right away.
Currently, it goes like this, and I still am amazed at how many posters don't get it:
Some companies are licensed to grow
Some companies are licensed to distribute
ERBB is providing 24-hour dispensing of the licensed products along with 24-hour security and raking in commissions/processing fees on every product dispensed, from edibles to smokes.
Dispensaries are not open 24-hour, nor can a customer access MJ at any other locations. ERBB provides the access for everyone outside the dispensary at locations such as nightclubs, bars and wherever else a state will allow access from vending machines. Security is essential -- retinal scanning is four years away, according the Peter. Video ID along with card scanning is the most secure. It's similar to the security at casinos, which is some of the best security in the world.
So, please, some of you. Do some DD and try to understand what exactly you are investing in instead of coming to this board and spouting your nonsense.
