I agree with much of what you're saying. I am going to purchase the products because I want to reserve my final judgement for after their use, but labeling is odd, and I really find it hard to believe the products can compete with others at this price point.

I'm glad things are up and running, though... Hopefully it us as successful as planned

Yes, I "rock" with this opening and here's why:

• the website is a milestone that has been achieved.

I have already expressed my opinions, concerns, and suggestions regarding product labeling - so I don't feel it necessary to reiterate those. I will, however, reiterate that it is the 'market' that decides what the product and packaging is worth - the consensus speaks through sales figures.

I ordered Mendocan because I am invested in the company and simply wanted to express my support by placing an order. I have used several products similar to Mendocan, but wanted to compare them for myself. I felt that paying a bit more couldn't hurt the company and surely won't hurt me as an investor to have firsthand experience with the products they now offer.

I think the price points could certainly be lower, but this is initial launch and we all know that when companies ramp up production from very limited run to larger production runs, that reduces cost of production. Yes, one can get fish oil in a variety of forms and packaging. And no, TAUG doesn't have the cheapest and prettiest display, but we knew what to expect - So I'm not shocked! We saw the packaging weeks ago, so nobody should be surprised at what they are seeing. I already spoke my peace there, so others can feel free to read back through my comments.

MENDOCAN is $34.99 for 60 soft gels so that is about .58¢ per gel tab. If it works to relieve some of my pain AND make my endocannabinoid system more responsive (in case I decide to give up trading and start rolling doobies all day..lol) then it is money well spent. And if is a total waste, I won't hesitate to tell you, believe me. I can't recommend a product that I haven't used and wouldn't want to reuse. Therefor, I had to order something! ;-) I didn't want to feel left out..lol. I won't let packaging stand between my support for a company that I have faith in. I will say that had I not been an investor & were to make a decision based SOLELY upon the package (NOT the beautiful website and clean UI) but solely packaging - I would have to say that packaging alone would not be enough for me to commit to purchase. BUT the website IS nice and I know what it entails to produce something like that in such short time - kudos to team TAUG for the great work.

Where's the curb appeal you ask? RIGHT HERE:

"Fish oil is essential for cellular health. It enters every cell membrane, making it more responsive and reducing the production of chemicals that cause inflammation. MendWCan supports cellular health and particularly makes the endocannabinoid system more responsive and also improves the benefits from ingesting or inhaling exogenous cannabis."

I would venture to say that Kmart fish oil and MEDNOCAN vary in more ways than one. And that's not just the price point and packaging I'm talking about. It is obvious that TAUG is marketing this product and the other supplements to specific demographics. The 'cannabis culture' community is essentially about 'feeling good'. There are many cannabis users that are no stranger to the plethora of 'natural products' available to them. I think we have all seen that even the 'novelty' items in these head shops/smoke shops will sell. Marketing to this demographic is completely different than marketing to our grandmas and grandpas. Grandma wants cheap, easy, and basic; her teenage grandson Stoner Steve wants fast, new, and 'cool'.

There are MANY cannabis users in the US alone.. Whether one is a cannabis user or not - they can benefit from EPA/DHA as it is something we all need. IF, however, cannabis users find that it helps enhance the cannabinoid system and reduce their intake of cannabis - one could assume that savings (cannabis isn't cheap either!!) might score the extra cash to substantiate paying the $34.99 on taurigastore.com rather than taking that drive to KMART (if you can find one..they demolished all the ones near me..lol).. So I think that until I get the product in my hands, I won't be able to know its worth. I won't know if I will reorder until I have used the product as it is recommended and in its entirety. Until then, I do not at all regret taking part in supporting the company.

They said they were launching the product line - they did. They said they were going to launch the site - it's alive! They said that they would seek funding for operations without additional convertible debt - they have done it. They said they were going to start utilizing social media to update shareholders - they have mad a valiant effort in doing so. I guess my point is that they are doing what they said they were going to do (with the exception of the late release of the site - which is now live). I have to give them credit where it is rightfully due. NO, they do not run the company exactly the way I want them to and NO they have yet to offer me a job as CEO..lol. I believe Dr. Sung is doing a fine job of directing operations and I also feel that she and management take investor insight, criticism and suggestions very seriously.

So, all in all... Yes, I will ROCK this site. I will rock it 10x harder when Topicanna is available and 20x harder if the packaging gets a facelift. If the results are that I feel better after using Mendocan - I will consider trying other products from the store. If not, I'll have lost nothing but a little time and a few bucks (which I can do with ANY otc company TODAY! LoL).

I'm TAUGin' until the seams bust. ;-)
