Just look up CRON and their path to nasdaq.. it is pretty much the same industry. The only difference is that they are located in Canada but they have to because they are strictly Marijuana..
They got admitted into Nasdaq International Designation program on Sept. 12, 2017. Their pps on that day was $1.9.. They had offering for $3.15 soon after.. check their chart what happened to pps since September and until it was listed 6 months later on Nasdaq.
Btw. Their OS is 176M, their market cap is over $1 Billion and sales $4mln in 2017 and $3mln in Q1 2018.. but Nasdaq opened doors to investors and offerings and they have cash and they expand..
But yes, their sales are twice smaller than CVSI... so just imagine what it is going to happen to CVSI pps when they announce they are working on application to uplist.. they already have much better sales and are better established than CRON.
..just saying.. all info, filings etc are public right there for you.. compare to peers.
Or you can just stay closed minded with otc world where yes, majority of ticks is bloated, with convertible notes and doing rs to stay afloat.. this is exactly your thinking except CVSI balance sheets is NOT like majority of otc.. if you are not getting that, then I don't know what else will.
