Anyone can add numbers. They are lawyers and are expected to be anal.
Business is different. Scaling a company is hard. Like you need strategy, money, planning, branding, staging, vehicles, etc etc. there's a way to learn that. It's called a MBA. No one has that. No one on their board has done that. They don't have a clue on how to do that. Now if they had a few smart people from amazon, apple, google, Netflix, etc on their board then that might make a difference.

I'm not as impressed, this "anal" management PR'd some terrible information a few weeks back about portland maine.

"It's an important day for the movement and for GrowLife," stated GrowLife, Inc. CEO, Sterling Scott. "This is the Northeast voting on cannabis now and will give us a strong indication of how attitudes are changing in this densely populated section of the country. And the law, which says that one can possess but not purchase or sell marijuana, seems on its face to be quite beneficial to GrowLife and the items we sell that allow individuals to cultivate on their own."

The truth of the matter was clearly stated a number of times by numerous individuals before and after the vote that it would not allow people to cultivate their own. The proposal never even mentioned the word cultivate, or grow, so how he got that idea I will never understand.

"Portland (ME) Police Chief to Ignore Marijuana Legalization Vote PORTLAND, ME — Voters in Maine’s largest city approved a measure Tuesday to legalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana by adults 21 and older, but the chief of police says that the vote won’t change anything in regards to how the department handles marijuana offenses.

Portland Police Chief Michael Sauschuck says the department will continue to enforce state marijuana laws, which Sauschuck said “pre-empt local ordinances,” and officers will issue citations for marijuana possession when necessary.

“This doesn’t change anything for us in terms of enforcement,” Chief Michael Sauschuck said Wednesday.

"Question 1 on Tuesday’s ballot proposes an ordinance that would allow adults 21 and older to have up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana and paraphernalia in their possession without facing penalties, civil or criminal"

"Dion said proponents are creating a false impression that passage would actually make the drug legal – so much that people have contacted him about ways to set up marijuana retail shops in Portland. But, he noted, it will remain illegal under state and federal laws.

Rather than promote Question 1 on a false premise, he said, proponents should admit the effort is nothing more than a political statement aimed at changing state and federal marijuana laws."

"David Boyer, the Maine political director for the Marijuana Policy Project, said Question 1 demonstrates support for regulating and taxing marijuana at the state and federal levels. He conceded that it will not change state law, which supersedes local ordinances, but said passage would send a message to police that enforcement should be a lower priority."
