I don't think Starbucks or anyone can compete with Snakes in the game distribution and game publishing areas. And IMO it is all of the various segments working together that make this company so unique.

All of the segments feed each other.

This is like a snowball going down Mount Everest.

AMFE the Publisher...

Or as the competition might refer to them, The Punisher...

Im thinking the recent PR will have game designers scrambling to come to Snakes once per month Designers Night now...

It takes $$$/experience/connections to bring a game/concept to market and with AMFE making it known that they will be looking for titles to publish, it could attract even more designers from all over the world... which is only going to grow the brand further, while attracting opportunity to their door.

Who else has the perfect venue to test/launch/market a new game?! They can test/dissect these games in house with real customers and their very skilled Game Gurus, allowing them to find winners... Then use their already established distribution arm to swiftly usher these games into mass retailers, online, etc...

Amfil Technologies Inc. Announces That Our Subs,idiary, Snakes & Lattes Inc., Is Expanding Internationally Into the Game Publishing Business

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - Jun 13, 2017) - Amfil Technologies Inc. (OTC PINK: AMFE) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Snakes & Lattes Inc., will be entering the game development and publishing business. This is a crucial step towards expanding on its current market share, further solidifying the Snakes & Lattes Inc. brand as an international powerhouse in the tabletop gaming industry.

With the overwhelming success of the distribution side of the business, the company felt it prudent to investigate the potential to further increase margins on the high-volume product sales of the division. After extensive analysis of the numbers and logistics involved, management has determined the initiative to be viable and cost-effective.

The Snakes & Lattes Inc. locations have been hosting game designer nights for quite some time now and with being so deeply entrenched in the table top gaming community, it has begged the question internally for many months now as to when the company will begin entering the game publishing arena and bring new titles to market in-house. Snakes & Lattes is currently positioned to manage all stages of new projects beginning from inception to product launch, and will use its current resources for research and development, product testing, marketing, and of course sales and worldwide distribution. This move would bring a far greater ROI when compared to the ROI on the current game titles that we stock and distribute, essentially 'cutting out the middleman' and allowing us to stock and distribute larger volumes and further expand into additional markets internationally.

The current costs associated with stocking game inventory is comparable to the costs to print and manufacture our own game titles, which would not only provide larger volumes for the same price, but also immediate worldwide exclusive distribution rights. We will use our retail locations as 'proving grounds' for new game titles prior to publishing in order to determine which titles will generate the highest demand. This will of course be in addition to maintaining and growing our current sheet of exclusive distributorships from other popular game producers.

The company is currently working on acquiring the rights to publish our first game to kick-off our publishing division. The first game under this initiative is currently in the works and will be developed in conjunction with an experienced game author based in Switzerland. The specifics of the game are still a closely guarded secret so no further details relating to the game will be released at this time to protect the intellectual property. We will provide further details relating to the project when appropriate to do so, likely coinciding with the upcoming Fan Expo in Toronto this August, where Snakes & Lattes will be hosting a board game café and retail store in partnership with CAH and other major publishers.

Capturing world-wide distribution as well as maximum margins from production to sale leaves the company better positioned to expand all aspects of the business, and significantly increase the rate at which retail store and gaming café locations are opened. With the new Midtown Toronto location being the third and largest location, set to open this summer and boasting an impressive 2 stories, 55 tables inside and 5 tables out on the patio all the while accommodating up to 340 customers, the company has its eyes set on the immediate expansion across Canada and the United States.

The newly formed publishing division in addition to the successful retail and distribution divisions, is expected to significantly increase profitability at a minimal start-up cost by utilizing the company's existing assets, resources, and market reach. In terms of the company's expansion, this is the most cost effective and logical step towards the company's intent on complete market domination by continuing to execute on its successful business model which has been proven year over year.

Further updates from our Snakes & Lattes Inc. subsidiary can be expected in the coming weeks.

About Us

Amfil Technologies, Inc. is the parent company to three wholly owned subsidiaries.

1). Snakes & Lagers Inc. holds the trade name and is the owner of Snakes & Lattes Inc. which currently operates a 6,000 sq. ft. and a 7,500 sq. ft. tabletop gaming bar and cafe located in Toronto, Ontario that brought in over $7M CAD in revenue last year. It is in the process of opening a third location at 10,000 sq. ft., the largest to date. Snakes & Lagers Inc. is also the procurement officer of all existing and future Snakes & Lattes Inc. franchises and has the exclusive rights to sell franchise locations globally. Snakes & Lattes Inc. was the first board game bar and cafe in North America, is believed to be the largest in the world and have the largest circulating public library of board games in North America for customers to choose from. Snakes & Lattes Inc. currently has a 90 member staff and recently acquired the exclusive distribution rights throughout Canada for some of the most popular board games in the world such as Cards Against Humanity and Exploding Kittens. BlogTO.com recently named Snakes & Lattes Inc. the best late night cafe in Toronto and has also been named the best fulfillment house in Canada by Jamey Stegmaier, the most influential blogger within the board game fulfillment sphere. For more information on Snakes & Lattes Inc. feel free to visit the website at www.snakesandlattes.com

2). The EcoPr03 GROzone Antimicrobial System was jointly developed between Amfil Tech and A.C.T.S. Inc. which recently rebranded its technology under Advanced Ozone Integration as an extension of the existing ozone technology being utilized in the food and beverage industry and integrated by A.C.T.S. into companies such as Pepsi, Nestle, Sysco, Sun Pacific and many others. The system is a triple-function sanitization unit capable of naturally eliminating 99.9% of water and airborne pathogens and the typically problematic pests that wreak havoc for cultivators (like aphids, whiteflies and spider mites), as well as bacteria, fungus, microbes and mold on surfaces, all without chemicals. The unit can also constantly regulate a given facility's water supply, oxygenating the water and maintaining a consistent PPM infusion of ozone that prevents the formation of algae, bacteria or mold (allowing for comprehensive water recycling), simultaneously removing the need to use pesticides and/or dangerous, often carcinogenic products to treat production problems, as is common throughout the industry today. This environmentally-friendly solution also eliminates odors, while slightly reducing the air temperature, lowering energy consumption by the HEPA filtration and HVAC systems and could potentially allow for a facilities process to be labeled certified organic in the U.S.A. when the crop is no longer considered illegal on the federal level, otherwise "Clean Green" or "Certified Kind" in the meantime. The EcoPr03 GROzone Antimicrobial System recently passed product review by a registered USDA certifying agent for use in California as well as Pennsylvania and surrounding states. More information on this product line can be found on the www.grozone.biz website.

3). Interloc-Kings Inc. is a hardscape construction company servicing the Greater Toronto Area. This subsidiary is an authorized Unilock installer, Unilock being, North America's premier manufacturer of concrete interlocking paving stones and segmental wall products. Interloc-Kings Inc. has an A+ Rating with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and a 10/10 rating on homestars.com. Specializing in stone and wood installations between $5,000 and $150,000 per project, Interloc-Kings Inc. has quickly become a top, high quality installation company of outdoor living areas in the GTA.

Tassie, who has also worked as a game designer, has found that the job has a surprisingly romantic aspect: “We’re a super-hot first date place in the city, and we get a number of people who come back to us six months or a year later asking if they can propose to their girlfriends here.”
----------------------------

We get some people who come here because it’s a hip place to come, rather than because they’re actually interested in board games, and with people like that, our best weapon is the breadstick games. They’re simple, but they can get the most cantankerous or inattentive person involved with what’s happening at the table. Life is too short for games you don’t like.

Nintendo DD: Snakes could start selling Switch units soon and they sellout everywhere within minutes. No one can sustain inventory!... and its possible that Snakes will also get preferential treatment on inventory, since Nintendo will be paying them to market...

People can try one at Snakes, then buy one. A $300 product would be a nice upsell, not including any Switch games/accessories they might add to the order...

We could also see partnerships with the actual companies that make games for Switch. Konami, Activision/Blizzard, etc...

They can collect $$$ from Nintendo for showcasing/marketing Switch, then collect for the specific game(s) they will be featuring... Along with retail sales!

Is there any doubt as to why Nintendo wants to market at Snakes?! Its the perfect venue to promo/sell something like this. Gamers go there to game!

...the snowball continues to gain heft and momentum.

Nintendo Switch

We previously announced that we had been approached by Nintendo Canada's marketing department to help promote their new Nintendo Switch. We will commence this working relationship by hosting 'Nintendo Switch Nights' and beginning large scale promotion of the Nintendo product line, whilst attracting a new market segment to the Snakes & Lattes Inc. locations for the hosted game nights. We are looking to kick that marketing and promotion of their product line off with a joint release with Nintendo

Snakes & Lattes Inc. has received its largest purchase order to date from Indigo Chapters and will be supplying approximately 10,000 units each of a number of titles we hold exclusive Canadian distribution rights to, including Exploding Kittens, Cards Against Humanity, Joking Hazard and Watch Ya Mouth.

http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=74401511

Who is Chapters?...

Heres the new retailer they supply now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapters

Chapters quickly changed the face of Canada's book selling industry. Previously, companies like Coles and Smithbooks had many small stores. Chapters built large box stores with a much larger product selection. Chapters provided chairs and couches for their customers, as well as Starbucks coffee shops, and did not discourage reading inside the store. The company became Canada's largest book retailer, with 77 superstores branded as Chapters and more than 280 mall-based stores under the names Coles, SmithBooks (formerly the Canadian branch of W H Smith), Classic Bookshops, the Book Company, and Active Minds. However, the SmithBooks, the Book Company, and Classic Bookshops names have been gradually phased and locations rebranded as Coles stores in recent years. Canada's first book superstore, Toronto's World's Biggest Bookstore, once part of the Coles chain, was also owned by Chapters and had continued to operate under its original name.

The Exclusive Distribution Rights means that Snakes & Lattes Inc. will be the only authorized distributor for Cards Against Humanity in Canada as well as for the secured global regions and will fulfill all orders made for the game to those areas. The newly secured regions will be disclosed in the near future.

Snakes & Lattes Inc. recently received a very large order from Indigo Chapters for a shipment of Cards Against Humanity, among other games. Management anticipates this to be just the beginning of large purchase orders for this popular game title, and as a result, increased revenues is expected from fulfilling orders throughout Canada and from the secured international regions.

Snakes & Lattes Inc. has recently hired an expert with many years of experience to lead the sales team for the distribution side of the business. They have also hired a new warehouse manager to coordinate and manage the increased fulfillment demand relating to the exclusive distribution of game titles including Cards Against Humanity. More on this to come shortly.

#46243 RE: bigboard #46195

In regard to the Roto Gro JV: As previously mentioned, future growth strategies include expansion into the food sector, targeting areas challenged by factors such as climate, contaminated water sources, making it difficult to grow crops utilizing traditional farming methods. The GROzone systems were developed from existing technology which has been successfully utilized in the food and beverage industry for over 20 years, providing units for major companies such as Pepsi, Sun Pacific and Nestle. The GROzone management team intends to use their technical knowledge, expertise, and proven track record in the industry to further grow and expand the reach of both companies moving forward. A number of synergies between the two companies are being explored and the respective management teams are anticipating a unified expansion of both entities as a direct result of this strategic partnership.

The immediate action would be to provide clients currently utilizing the Roto-Gro system with the option of upgrading their setups by adding the GROzone EcoPro3 Antimicrobial system allowing them to complete their growing facilities with an all encompassing and automated system. The EcoPro3 technical team has calibrated a system to integrate specifically with the current rotary hydroponic systems. This would ensure a smooth transition for current users, whilst adding the peace of mind of an organic antimicrobial solution to eliminate the risks associated with contamination. Further to the EcoPro3 upgrade for current users, the companies aim to develop, manufacture and distribute a fully integrated hydroponic system, aiming to be the global leader in hydroponic technology, providing the only hydroponic system to provide full automation of plant rotation, nutrient delivery, hydration, and fully organic antimicrobial and sanitation process, completely eliminating the risks associated with contaminated crops due to mold, pathogens and pesticides . All of this, combined with greatly reduced floor space requirements, reduced water and electrical requirements, larger yields, as well as bigger, stronger, faster growing plants which have already been produced using the patent pending Roto-Gro rotary design.

Amfil Technologies Inc. Announces That Our GROzone Product Line Passed Product Review by Accredited USDA Certifying Agent to Be Used In Organic Agricultural Production in California as Well as Pennsylvania and Surrounding States

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - Mar 14, 2017) - Amfil Technologies Inc. (OTC PINK: AMFE) is pleased to provide the following update to the shareholders and the investment community regarding our GROzone subsidiary.

The GROzone product line recently received a positive review from Pennsylvania Certified Organic allowing their clients to use our GROzone product line in organic production. Pennsylvania Certified Organic (PCO) reviews products for clients located in Pennsylvania and the surrounding states as well as for the CCOF, (California Certified Organic Farmers) and now allows the CCOF clients to use the GROzone product line as well. PCO confirmed that our product line complied with the National Organic Programs (NOP) regulations and the outcome was the receipt of a positive review.

The USDA regulates the use of such terms as "organic" or "organically produced". In order to market a product as organic, USDA regulations require certification by an accredited certification agency. Pennsylvania Certified Organics certification program is accredited by the USDA for compliance with the National Organic Program. Since marijuana is still a federally illegal crop, the USDA currently does not recognize it as a crop that can be organically grown or called certified organic just yet. However being allowed to use the GROzone product line for any and all forms of what is currently deemed agricultural production is reassuring as marijuana cultivators that want to follow organic practices essentially follow the National Organic Program (NOP) guidelines. There are now alternate certifications being developed that could be applied for specific to the industry, through agencies such as the Organic Cannabis Association (OCA) or Clean Green Certified but all relate back to the NOP regulations and guidelines.

Achieving organic status and being able to label a product as certified organic, or in the case of the U.S. market, "Clean Green" or "Certified Kind" usually will allow the seller to demand a premium on the product. Even more importantly and in an industry such as the medical marijuana industry, it would help to ensure that the producer or manufacturer will never have product recall or product failure due to any elevated levels of harmful ingredients used throughout the grow process that can make them susceptible to liability from the consumer. A well known example of this is would be the recent issues in the media relating to residual pesticide contamination in end use marijuana products and the product recalls and lawsuits that have followed.

GROzone is a triple-function sanitization unit capable of naturally eliminating 99.9% of water and airborne pathogens and the typically problematic pests that wreak havoc for cultivators (such as aphids, whiteflies and spider mites), as well as bacteria, fungus, microbes and surface mold, all without the use of chemicals. The unit can also constantly regulate a given facility's water supply, oxygenating the water and maintaining a consistent PPM infusion of ozone that prevents the formation of algae, bacteria or mold (which allows for comprehensive water recycling). This completely eliminates the need to use pesticides and/or dangerous, often carcinogenic products to treat production problems, as is common throughout the industry today.

The GroZone System was originally developed in 2014 by way of a Joint Venture ("JV") with Ambrose Fillis and A.C.T.S. systems, the creators of the original ozone technology with successful installations in companies such as Pepsi, Nestle, Sysco, Sun Pacific and many others. Through the JV, the technology was modified and developed specifically for the medical marijuana industry. A.C.T.S. has recently rebranded itself under Advanced Ozone Integration Inc. (AOI) and as a result the original mPACT GroZone 60 system has been redesigned and engineered to make some upgrades that will benefit the overall end result of the product line. Our new product equivalent is now called the EcoPrO3 GroZone Antimicrobial System. Some of the upgrades include:

Unit is now all stainless steel.
Fully automated system with user friendly electronic interface making operational control very easy to use and the ability to have tighter control parameters.
Highly efficient in addressing most of the challenges facing grow-ops with regards to mold and pest control, more effective nutrient consumption, improved plant strength and quality.
Greater flexibility to scale systems up or down based on actual grow-op application requirements.
Ability to integrate/adapt into existing facility monitoring/control systems or develop independent systems where required
Ability to control/monitor via internet or remotely.
Amfil Technologies Inc. will supply pictures of and more detailed information on the new system through press and on the www.grozone.biz website in the near future once the new patent application on the technology has been submitted by AOI. We expect this process to be completed in the coming days.

Further updates with regards to on-going progress being made within our subsidiaries can be expected shortly.

The outstanding common share count of Amfil Technologies Inc. is 444,807,264 which is cumulative since its inception in 1985 as the company has never had any recapitalizations in its 32 year history.

2). The GroZone System was jointly developed between Amfil Tech and A.C.T.S. Inc. which recently rebranded its technology under Advanced Ozone Integration as an extension of the existing ozone technology being utilized in the food and beverage industry and integrated by A.C.T.S. into companies such as Pepsi, Nestle, Sysco, Sun Pacific and many others. GROzone is a triple-function sanitization unit capable of naturally eliminating 99.9% of water and airborne pathogens and the typically problematic pests that wreak havoc for cultivators (like aphids, whiteflies and spider mites), as well as bacteria, fungus, microbes and mold on surfaces, all without chemicals. The unit can also constantly regulate a given facility's water supply, oxygenating the water and maintaining a consistent PPM infusion of ozone that prevents the formation of algae, bacteria or mold (allowing for comprehensive water recycling), simultaneously removing the need to use pesticides and/or dangerous, often carcinogenic products to treat production problems, as is common throughout the industry today. This environmentally-friendly solution also eliminates odors, while slightly reducing the air temperature, lowering energy consumption by the HEPA filtration and HVAC systems and could potentially allow for a facilities process to be labeled certified organic in the U.S.A. when the crop is no longer considered illegal on the federal level, otherwise "Clean Green" or "Certified Kind" in the meantime. More information of the grozone line of products can be found on the www.grozone.biz website.

Fungus In Medical Marijuana Eyed As Possible Cause In California Man’s Death

http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2017/02/06/medical-marijuana-fungus-death-uc-davis-medical-center/

These weren’t just any pathogens, they were looking at the very fingerprints of a killer.

“The cannabis was contaminated with many bacteria and fungi, some of which was compatible with the infections that I saw in my patients,” Tuscano said.

“Klebsiella, E.coli, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, these are all very serious infections for anybody in the hospital. But particularly in that population, the cancer population,” Thompson.

One of questions this raises is whether the risk is made worse by smoking, which could send pathogens directly into the lungs, which are particularly vulnerable.

Truth is, there’s really isn’t much research on any of this. “But we think now,” Thompson says, “with some of these patients, it’s really unknowingly self-inflicted form cannabis use.”

Cannabis, labeled medicinal, that could pose a lethal threat to already vulnerable patients.

(2 videos) Pesticides and Pot: What's California Smoking?

Next year California and other states will start testing for pesticides, mold, potency, etc, which is the best saleman we could ever have for Gro3

The final rules have not been released, but it could be close to zero tolerance for pesticides (organic). If a grower fails, their entire crop will be confiscated and burned, so it does not end up on the black market....

There are 50,000+ growers in Cali, it is the largest MJ grow area in the world. These regulations are a MASSIVE catalyst for this stock. Do the DD, do the simple math. First video...

What's Really Inside Your Cannabis Vape Cartridge?

https://www.merryjane.com/health/whats-really-inside-cannabis-vape-cartridges

In a recent investigation into cannabis oil, 44 products were tested for 16 different pesticides at Steep Hill Labs in Berkeley, California. The lab found that 41 out of the 44 products (or 93 percent of them) tested positive for pesticides at high enough quantities that certain states which regulate pesticides in cannabis products would ban them. "There are no failing levels in California [because] there are no regulations," explains Reggie Gaudino, vice president of scientific operations and director of intellectual property at Steep Hill. Only the city of Berkeley has a cap on total pesticides at 100 parts per billion—far stricter than statewide regulations in Oregon or Colorado, which have various multi-hundred part-per-billion caps on individual pesticides applied to cannabis.

In the manufacturing process, pesticides might also concentrate at higher rates than cannabinoids: for example, a cannabinoid like THC might concentrate fourfold, but a pesticide could concentrate twentyfold. With the trade-off of compact, potent, and inconspicuous THC comes an elevated risk of inhaling less appetizing chemicals. "The entire industry has to look to the right standard to build, and stop thinking of ourselves as, 'Oh we're the underground, everything is cool, we can just grow bud in the basement and sell it," Gaudino says. "If you want [cannabis] to be legitimate and a medicine, we have to start thinking like pharmaceutical companies do and grow our medical supply in a manner that is in accordance with medical use." That means not drenching the bud in toxic chemicals that could make sick patients sicker.

"There's not a ton of transparency in the [vaporizer] processes right now," says Aaron Justis, CEO of the LA-based Buds & Roses dispensary. But as the industry evolves, he says, people will start to demand higher quality products. And with more competition, those that aren't transparent about their processes, or who vend cheaply-made products, may ultimately get weeded out. Regulation due to debut in 2018 in California may also yield opportunities for legislators to hold vape companies accountable for the quality and safety of their products.

"It will change in the future, once they're lab tested and regulated. I would say the more pure the oil is, the better," says Justis. "That's what people want right now. Vape pens are a growing part of the industry; it's not going away."

Gro3 DD/opinions: It looks like their efforts to push the Gro3 system in the past fell flat because the testing laws were not in place... Growers didn't run the risk of having their whole crop taken by the government. They could sell as much moldy/pesticide laced weed as they wanted, unabated... but not anymore.

These systems are not cheap, but when you compare to the cost of growing for months, paying employees, power, etc and having your ENTIRE crop seized by the gov at the very end, it doesn't seem so expensive anymore. This is a multi billion dollar sector, you gotta pay to play wisely. Half ass grow rooms will no longer be tolerated for retail...

The bigger the grow room, the harder it is to monitor... which means theres a greater chance of unwanted outbreaks and having to use large amounts of pesticides, which could cause your weed to fail the mandatory testing, by an INDEPENDENT lab... The big dogs will pay these price easily. It could be the silver bullet that solves the #1 concern in the sector... Grower will be able to use an "Organic" label because they use no chemicals to combat mold, mildew, bugs and bacteria... This is the same reason why Ozone is used so heavily in the food industry...

This could prove to be one of the best MJ plays long term, with sky high growth potential for multiple subsidiaries.

Gro3 DD/opinion: When margins are shrinking (due to falling prices/flooded market), you have to run things perfectly to survive... Which means investing in the equipment that can prevent serious issues down the road...

It takes several months of invested labor, supplies, power, rent, etc just to see if you will pass the governments mandated testing.

Sometimes growers will have problems with just a few plants and they can be removed, but killing the spores that are left behind is very important. Without using pesticides, fungicides, insecticides, etc, there is really no way to get them off the walls, equipments, out of the water tanks, etc, other than Gro3... and it can be hard to keep perfect air circulation throughout a large facility. You might be able to circulate most of the room, most of the time, but plants can still shield moisture as they grow in size, esp in and around dense buds... Powerful lights/heat and water being used throughout, is the perfect recipe for moisture issues.

When California starts mandatory testing, these pesticide/mold/bacteria/etc stories are going to get even more dramatic and scary. Consumers will rush to Organic weed... the higher costs consumers will be willing to pay for Organic weed, will justify Gro3's price tag.

Gro3 DD/opinion: Our competition is organic type sprays, etc... but these are costly to apply all the time and do not ensure even coverage...

Also, when Gro3 is used in a building, it kills mold spores, bacteria, bugs, mildew in every nook... The tools, water tanks, plants, walls, everything is decontaminated, without needing any labor...

It is very hard to keep EVERYTHING clean in a maturing facility... As time goes by, nasty things can hide all over the place, causing constant problems... can you imagine the labor to clean the walls, water tanks, etc, while trying to grow organic plants in there at the same time?... THIS is why companies have to resort to heavy chems, even if their intention was to be 100% organic. Toxic pesticides, fungicides and insecticides ENSURE the job gets done and the crop is saved... and they are relatively cheap to purchase.

Many companies lie about being 100% organic, but with mandatory government enforced testing, this all changes. The pressure/costs/risks are increasing steadily for these growers, at a time when margins are shrinking due to so much product on the market(in the USA)... If you dont pass the testing, they confiscate your crop so it does not end up on the black market

Grow rooms often get mold, etc but its usually just with certain plants that aren't receiving enough circulation. As plants grow, they get denser and start to sheild moisture, which is how the problems begin... You can save or remove bad plants, but ensuring that ALL of the spores are destroyed within the building is very difficult without a system like GROzone. Once there is one moldy plant, your growroom is contaminated. Spores are everywhere.

Gro3/sector opinion: Imagine if you could go back in time and invest in liquor, bottles, caps, distribution, etc right before prohibition was lifted?... MJ is THE fastest growing sector in a looong time and its only going to get crazier as we near 2018, when the largest state (Cali) + MJ epicenter becomes legal for recreational use... Then the rest of the states will soon follow, creating a snowball effect of wealth creation.

During the gold rush it wasn't the miners that made the most money, it was the people that made/sold the picks, shovels and other supplies. You needed these items to get to the gold, it didn't matter if you found it or not!

Gro3 (patent pending) is like the miners tools, because the sector needs it to get around the future MANDATORY pesticide testing laws (risk) and prevent government confiscation... It will also allow growers to label their MJ "organic", which will sell at a premium (gold)

All of these USA growers are driving down MJ margins significantly right now, so being ORGANIC is going to become a huge advantage towards separating companies from the herd. Growers are flooding the market, unlike Canada which isn't over issuing licenses... There will be money to be made in MJ cultivation, but only if you run a tight ship and buy all the equipment needed to minimize risk. One confiscation of a massive crop could bury a company...

IMO the big $$$ is in the next gen equipment needed to reduce costs and risks imo. MANY of these growers will fail, but not after buying lots of equipment!

... and choosing the right equipment, to achieve the most competitive margins, is EXTREMELY important. Hello Gro3!

‘Unclean’ Cannabis More Than a Pest for the Cannabis Industry
Departments - From the Editor
March 16, 2017

http://www.cannabisbusinesstimes.com/article/unclean-cannabis-more-than-a-pest-for-the-cannabis-industry/

The past few months have not been kind to the cannabis industry when it comes to product safety. But fate is not to blame.

In February, a rare fungal infection believed to have originated from tainted medical marijuana killed a California man being treated for cancer, CBS Los Angeles reported. The cancer treatment weakened the man’s immune system, “but his death still surprised doctors because he was relatively young and his cancer was beatable.” When doctors learned he used medical cannabis to ease the treatment’s side effects, they tested 20 medical marijuana samples from across the state, finding that “the vast majority were contaminated with dangerous bacteria and fungi,” reported the CBS affiliate.

In October 2016, cannabis testing and analysis firm Steep Hill Labs reported that “84.3 percent of cannabis samples submitted in Steep Hill’s Berkeley lab tested positive for pesticide residues.” The main culprit was myclobutanil, which is used for prevention and control of mildew outbreaks. The chemical was present in over 65 percent of tested samples. When burned, myclobutanil converts into hydrogen cyanide, which is listed as a chemical warfare agent by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There has been little improvement since then, according to the director of public relations at Steep Hill, Cathie Bennett Warner.

In November 2016, Oregon issued its second health alert “for marijuana contaminated with pesticides or pesticide ingredients, in this case three strains of marijuana flowers sold from dispensaries in Salem, Eugene and North Bend,” reported Oregon Live. The “tainted marijuana ended up on store shelves after apparently failing lab tests. Health authority officials are investigating why that happened. Producers are supposed to destroy the strains that fail pesticide tests,” the article explained.

In January, “Organigram, a publicly traded grower based in Moncton, New Brunswick, in Southeastern Canada, expanded a Dec. 28 recall of a small amount of product to include almost all of its cannabis buds and oils produced in 2016,” reported the Globe and Mail. Residual levels of two banned pesticides, myclobutanil and bifenazate, were found in the medical marijuana operation’s products, according to CBC News Nova Scotia.

Testing regulations are becoming more stringent in the United States and Canada, the latter of which, until recently, didn’t require mandatory testing. Health Canada changed its policy last month and “will begin random testing of medical marijuana products to check for the presence of banned pesticides after product recalls affecting nearly 25,000 customers led to reports of illnesses and the possibility of a class action lawsuit,” CBC News Nova Scotia reported.

I believe most cultivators wouldn’t intentionally put out a dangerous product. But the tragic death of the California man and the extremely discouraging test results are a wake-up call. Test your products even if regulations don’t require it. Make sure they are safe for human consumption. Legalization is supposed to help provide safe cannabis to the public, not endanger lives.

Organic?!... Many of these MJ growers claim to be organic and most of the time they probably are, BUT when they run into an outbreak issue and could lose big $$$, they quickly turn to chemicals to save their arse.

This is why having GRO3 installed is the ultimate insurance policy... When the heavy testing/regulations kick in, the risk of the government confiscating your entire crop, at the VERY end of the grow cycle, makes the investment worthwhile

Only 100 growers buying a $500,000 system (which is less that the recent order from 1 grower) = $50,000,000

... and they could do far more than this in California alone, which has 50,000+ growers... Many of them are small and/or grow outdoors, but thousands of them are large or will become large once its legal. Outdoor wont be able to meet demand for the entire year once its legal, so indoor operations will grow significantly and so will the scary stories and confiscations.

THIS is the MJ play to own!

The company has been approached by established parties in the industry who have expressed interest in obtaining distribution rights for the EcoPrO3 product line in specific regions within certain states including California. This initiative would allow for the immediate penetration of the EcoPrO3 technology within the areas most densely saturated with marijuana grow facilities, by established distributors deeply imbedded within the local industries. If we proceed to grant distribution rights to a region within a state, it would be on a performance basis contingent on achieving minimum sales milestones for the given region.

We are also discussing the feasibility of and considering creating and installing a Roto-Gro / EcoPr03 showroom type facility in California to display and demo the product lines and technology to the California and western US market. We have had a lot of interest to date for the EcoPr03 product lines in California and feel it could potentially be a great state to begin the penetration of the US market and have a show-room type facility to display the product for cultivators and industry experts to come view the technology in a more hands on atmosphere that's local to that market.

Jeffrey Raber, CEO of Washington state botanicals lab the Werc Shop, said the pesticide issue should not be underestimated: “In terms of consumer protection, pesticides are the number one issue right now in this industry. It’s right up there with banking, in terms of the challenges facing the industry.”

And guess who who has the NON TOXIC solution that overcomes this "number one issue" in this mega growth sector?... For those that dont know, Ozone gas is often used in a spas, municipal water systems, the food industry, etc to reduce bacteria, algae, molds, etc. Its proven to be safe and effective... and now a system has been developed for the MJ indusry...

GROzone was started in 2014 by way of a Joint Venture with Ambrose Fillis & A.C.T.S. systems, the creators of the original ozone technology with successful installations in companies such as Nestle, Pepsi, Sysco Foods and Sun Pacific. Through the JV the technology was modified and developed specifically for the medical marijuana industry.

Colorado’s agricultural agencies are in panic mode after several independent studies found dangerous levels of pesticides in marijuana products.

A CNN report published Wednesday found that at least one over-the-counter product tested positive for illegally high levels of the neurotoxin imidacloprid. CNN commissioned tests by an independent lab, and the report ultimately led to a recall of 2,362 pot products. A similar Denver Post study in September yielded similar findings — some of the cannabis products tested had as much as six times the federally allowed limit on pesticides in consumable products.

If the pesticides had been found on, say, avocados, the products would have been taken off the shelves immediately. But Colorado’s oversight of pesticides on marijuana has been limited, other than a handful of recalls and plant quarantines.

Colorado and other states that recently legalized marijuana are just beginning to grapple with the pesticide issue. An absence of federal regulation has left the states struggling to figure out how to pass pesticide legislation, how to enforce it and which agencies should be doing the enforcing.
