Welcome sharbite22, what was your friends name Tom? Doesn't matter, but in my opinion is that you have a 50/50 chance that IMAI was the correct MMJ choice. I'm sure within a couple weeks you will learn that you made the 100% right choice with IMAI.
I would say you are in the right place but that is somewhat skewed since m bet is with IMAI. From what I am seeing though IMAI is on the right tract with minimum competition. Sounds like pretty good odds to me.
