I mean more that in 10 years I'd like to be able to say that CBIS made the canna-pharma scene happen in the US, rather than a Dutch company or even GW Pharm.
Some great strains have come out of the Netherlands no doubt. But its just because of the easy political situation there. Some great strains have come out of CA and now CO too.
Maybe I'm a bit resentful about the whole situation.. lol
Either way, a foreign entity will need some help from someone here in the US to do marketing, research, and growing in particular. I guess CBIS' future could be in being acquired by one of the bigger foreign guys. But if they make the right moves now, get the right patents filed and have better success in the FDA than GW and the others, that could be huge.
