I wouldn't say "it's too early" as much as most don't yet fully understand.

28 medical, 8 recreational. A removal/reversal of 280e will see operational numbers dramatically jump overnight. (Sure to happen, when is speculation).

De/Rescheduling is sure to occur. When, again, is speculation.

CA, NV, MA initiation of recreational sales will be a game changer. (Again, I'm long time industry veteran and was discussing this with CA groups 15 years ago).

Relating to the above, (15 yrs. ago). Nothing which is now occurring was not discussed and addressed over the last 10-15 years. We always "knew", addressed, and expected.

Actually, it has come to this point slightly quicker than many expected, and we see it possibly reaching the above milestones similarly quicker than expected due to the momentum.

Many will speak of the current administration and the uncertainty which accompanies it.

For those of us in it for the long term, this is nothing new. It moved along prior to, and will move along long after.

We have a sitting president who is the first in history to state full support of medical. (Many will reference the last administration, and the sitting president's "fun" admissions of use. This is not the same as stating "I fully support medical use".

We're 20 years in. The first 10 were "touch and go/shaky". The second 10 seemed to establish an incredible momentum, with the last 5 dramatic progress.

The next 5 (of the next 10) sure to hold equally as dramatic momentum, progress, and developments, which is seen in the most opposing states now readily considering medical, as well as a reminder, 2016 alone 9 states up for recreational votes simultaneously, 8 of 9 passing (in a single year), with coming into 2017-2018 another group preparing possible recreational measures.

We now see polling showing up to 90% supporting medical use and applications. We now have consistent mainstream media coverage of the medical benefits. We see significant polling even in support of no actions by current administration to derail. The last 5 yrs. have been quite the turnaround PR wise.

While much is still to be accomplished, as someone who has sat through the "whole game" thus far, we've reached truly a monumental time in history showing great promise moving forward.

The first 20 were hard, let me tell you ;).....(I'm one of many who had 100% compliant, extremely large operations seized and shut down over the past 20 years.

3 of them.

And we now sit entering recreational in multiple states that passed in a single year.

People should know and understand the history to fully understand where we are, and where we're going.

This also relates to companies within the space. Of course, many entered without understanding the above, as shell "pump and dumps", but, lo and behold, here we are......at $6B (underestimate btw) ready to jump to $20-$30B by 12-16 months from now...for those who actually focused on building honest, serious long term operations, it's wide open space ahead.

We are now approaching a point where such companies (investors) will indeed, find a significant reward over the next 2-3 years.

I hear ya. That was my point of view when i first invested in this company. During the picks and axes mantra days of Derek.

It has come a long way since then, but the PPS has not. I was around during the DOT COM era, and it was crazy what the market was doing. Companies with just an idea and no revenue were skyrocketing.

If any company held the potential tag. It would have been TRTC.

I honestly think all these medical mj uses are bullshit, and there are things that work far much better that do less damage to the body and mind, but people are just too lazy to do it.

Well maybe there are 3 things MJ helps with medically, but nothing ground breaking that would effect the masses.

I will say that it is a lot safer than using alcohol recreationally and cheaper.

It is just an excuse they use to justify legalizing MJ.

Everyone knows government just wants the tax revenue, and does not give two shits about the people. Otherwise they would immediately control the big pharm companies producing all the opiates.

There was a reason government allowed CO and WA to be the testing grounds for recreational MJ.
They are both very liberal states. It would go over well, and at the same time test the temperature of the peoples acceptance of the new laws.

The same thing is happening with the subject of Alien Life form.
The idea has been slowly released to us for 30 years with movies, tv, and print. That is the only way government can do this and not cause mass hysteria.

For years it was taught that there was just our solar system of 8 or some say 9 known planets and the sun.

For the last few years little bits and pieces of info keeps being filtered out to the masses. It is all very covert and planned. Very quietly a few weeks ago. Nasa reported that they found a whole other new solar system just like ours.

This new Solar System has many earth like planets with h2o and all rotate around a sun. I think 4 of the planets could easily support human life as we have now on planet earth.

Ok i am getting off point. lol

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE
