Thanks for the new pic, Sieg. Much mo better!
Like a lot of us did, I started looking into the THC/CBD side of things when I got the news, it's a rabbit hole of information for sure. What I've found was, it flat out works for multiple issues as well as your daily health, just like a vitamin. Being in Seattle gives me opportunities to talk with people in the industry and I've taken every advantage of that, the company I work for is actually encouraging me with field trips and training. The day Greg gave the news I had met with a potential customer that wants us to build out a 10,000sf facility, it would be their 3rd building in the area. This market is full speed ahead!
Think about it, it's a plant that has properties that help the body and mind...like carrots help you see at night and spinach makes you strong like Popeye! Thats what we've been told, just like we've been told Weed is bad and a gateway drug. I agree it is a gateway, a gateway to getting away from prescription pills.
Welds world tour continues!

The question I've got for you, GW, do you believe enough to invest in the industry? The owners I've met have all been doctors and lawyers, they're not involved on the daily operations, just the financing behind it all. I imagine it's like your condo investments. Just curios.

I looked into this early on. There were several opportunities to invest in venture Capital funds that were funding start ups.... typical was a 100K investment for accredited investors.
The reasons that keep me out of this type investment is -- it's typically HUGE gains for the super early investors.... but my feeling is that once the FEDS allow this stuff to be sold nationally and with BANKING..... the big terbacky boys will be totally involved and steam roll everyone else. They have the marketing and the distribution and on and on.
I don't know that is what is going to happen - but it seems "logical" to me that they'd jump in with both feet.

So now CBD is illegal, WTF!!
I just got some stuff for my dad and now can't buy more.
That's BS. We need a lobby group to push this at the Federal level. Just make it legal like alcohol
In the DEA comment on the entry, Rosenberg directly addressed the question: What if it’s only cannabidiol (CBD) and no other cannabinoids? The agency’s response: “For practical purposes, all extracts that contain CBD will also contain at least small amounts of other cannabinoids. However, if it were possible to produce from the cannabis plant an extract that contained only CBD and no other cannabinoids, such an extract would fall within the new drug code” and therefore remain federally illegal. In other words: The DEA is confident that it can find enough traces of other cannabinoids in your CBD oil to arrest and prosecute. And if they can’t, they still have the option of arresting and prosecuting based on the CBD oil itself.

CBD shows much promise in the Autism world and I'd guess it would be effective for ADD and OCD suppression as well. The government, companies, and lobbyists are probably seeing the future income potential of being a CBD middleman.

Thanks
Wow, when I clicked a link for hellfire's build earlier this week I had no idea I'd find a incredible heart wrenching/warming story such as yours sir. I truly believe your positive attitude was a huge factor in recovery.
My dad has prostate cancer, not quite the death sentence you received earlier this year, but still depressing and unnerving. He has been researching prostate cancer and decided he'd have a better life not going through traditional medicine. The reasons being life expectancy is similar for those who go the chemo-radiation route, and those who don't treat at all, and you don't go through the horrible side effects. He also has treated himself with RSO, and is feeling great. We didn't research it like you did, we kind of just followed Rick Simpsons guide. I will definitely show him this.
I live in a state that allows medical marijuana, my son has ptsd from being a marine and going to war, when he got out of the service he was taking 5 types of pharmaceuticals, he now only uses thc and a service dog, and has very little anxiety.
It's crazy to think if he lived somewhere else he'd be on pills still.
So many stories of thc/cbd having huge positive effects, and no real negative effect, it really is ridiculous that it's so stigmatized. Hopefully, when more people like you(respected, successful, thoughtful, smart) tell their stories, we can change the laws/policies so that people everywhere, not just the states that allow it, have the option.
Thanks again Sir, even though I don't know you, I was ecstatic when I read your last update, and I thank you for taking the time to put all of this information out there for everybody.
Thanks again, Diego

Thank you Diego! How very kind of you sir!
Having just met with liver and pancreatic cancer specialists..... and they can't explain why I'm not dead - or why the cancer isn't spreading - or why the tumor, to use their words, "seems to be so well behaved".
Remember these words - and you understand why there's no research etc done on this kind of "cure" - whatever you want to call it..... because "we're from the government, and we're here to help!". Yeah - thanks.... that kind of help I can do without.
Now make no mistake -- I am not "cured" -- I'm doing okay all things considered.... but I still have some very bad days.... and some real medical issues to deal with.... but I ain't dead!

Folks ----- Let's not get ahead of ourselves here --- I still have some pretty serious medical issues. But what I'm not dealing with is immediate death -- and now I can RELAX a little because at least I'm not having to deal with a disease that is spreading all over and causing a ton of other problems! Can't tell you how happy that makes me!
Well..... I believe the above (what Basher wrote) to be true.... as it certainly "SEEMS" to have worked for me. Just like it has worked for so many other folks that have shared their stories on the Internet. I always figured they were BS !! Now I'm thinking everyone ELSE is full of BS -- and WE got it right! LOL
The reason I started this thread is because the information is so scattered and hodge podge... and the more you read the deeper you get and the more confused you can become. It's pretty damn simple if you choose to keep it simple.
The funniest thing about it all -- no matter how much of the stuff you can take - it won't hurt you no matter what! Tell me what other kinds of medicine you can say that about?
