[center]Marijuana wins big!

[quote]November 9, 2016
While the outcome of the presidential election may be
contentious, one thing is certain: marijuana is a big winner!
HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/128fs318181.gif
In the most momentous Election Day in history for the marijuana
policy reform movement, California, Maine, Massachusetts, and
Nevada voted to end marijuana prohibition, and Arkansas,
Florida, and North Dakota adopted medical marijuana laws. In
Montana, voters approved an initiative to re-establish patients’
access to medical marijuana providers and improve its existing
medical marijuana law.
The only dim spot is in Arizona, where the legalization
initiative is currently losing 48% to 52%, albeit with tens of
thousands of additional ballots to be counted. (Sadly, the
measure is likely to lose when the counting concludes in nine
days.)
The number of states where marijuana is legal for adults doubled
last night — from four to eight — and the first TWO states in
the South made medical marijuana legal.
We’re proud of the voters in these states and want to thank all
the donors, citizens, elected officials, organizations, and
businesses that came together to bring about these victories.

[center]Reporter’s notebook from Colorado: Health or a

Agelbert NOTE: It's a great article, being both informative and
educational about how it works in Colorado with Cannabis (nice
pictures too!).
Of course, there is the obligatory, and thoroughly inaccurate,
view of a medical doctor about "not having a sufficient body of
knowledge about the health benefits of Cannabis". THAT is a bold
faced lie. These Quacks that dispense prescription CRAP by the
pharmaceutical industry, directly causing over hundred thousand
deaths A YEAR, want to get all huffy about "studies" when they
are bad mouthing Cannabis. Will the REAL "snake oil" (i.e. the
A.M.A.) salesmen ever admit the insidious conflict of interest
that makes them favor profit over patient? NOPE.
HYPOCRITES! The biggest impediment to the FULL legalization of
Cannabis is the mens rea duplicity and mendacity practiced by
the medical profession and the pharmaceutical industry with
regard to Cannabis biochemistry.
Anyway, outside of the silly comments by the Medical Doctor, the
article is a good read. Since it was posted on a Vermont webs
site, expect a lot of back and forth from Vermonters on the
issue.

There are some enemies of Cannabis here in Vermont that never
fail to spout disinformation for the purpose of demonizing
Cannabis. But some very well educated Vermonters are always
there to politely correct the record, so to speak.

New ginger species discovered in African mountains[/center]
Alexandra Gerea March 28, 2017
Scientists working in the rugged Kabobo Massif in Congo have
identified a new species of ginger, bringing the number of
unique species in the area to eight, with five more being
currently under study. This highlights the importance of
preserving the site, which is one of the most diverse in Africa.

Though they are not as famous as their counterparts in South
America for instance, conservation is just as important. Who
knows what valuable plants and medicines await discovery?

Fifty shades of ginger
You might have thought ginger is a single plant, but there are
actually fifty species of ginger spread throughout Africa and
Madagascar. Both people and wildlife eat the fruits of many such
plans, and the roots are also consumed, though to a lesser
extent.
This particular plant has been called Aframomum ngamikkense,
after one of the peaks in the Kabobo Massif. Its habitat is
confined to 1,500 – 2,500 meters, occurring only in some
isolated patches. However, in these patches, it’s very abundant.
The plant was discovered during an expedition conducted by
researchers from Trento Science Museum and the Wildlife
Conservation Society (WCS), with subsequent genetic analysis
revealing that it’s a new species. Several frog species and a
pangolin are being currently analyzed to confirm whether they
too are previously undiscovered species. While scientists are
aware of the special biodiversity in the area, it was surprising
even to them to see just how rich their findings were. Andrew
Plumptre, WCS Senior Scientist, commented:
[quote]
Journal Reference: A new species of Aframomum (Zingiberaceae)
from D.R. Congo.
“While mountains are known to encourage speciation, it is
uncommon to find so many unique species at one site,
particularly when we have only made biodiversity surveys over a
period of about four months.”[/quote]

[center]Scientists from WCS have discovered a new species of
wild ginger, spicing up a wave of recent wildlife discoveries in
the Kabobo Massif. Image credits: A.J. Plumptre/WCS.[/center]
They hope that this boon of biodiversity will help conservation
efforts in the massif. So far, a total of 558 terrestrial
vertebrates and 1,410 plant species have been documented in the
area since the 1950s, but civil war and an overall lack of
security prevented virtually any conservation effort. The Kabobo
Natural Reserve had its boundaries formally approved in December
2016 by the Provincial Governor of Tanganyika Province and while
this is a laudable first step, it is still only a first step.
Now, a conservation plan has been devised for the Kobobo Massif,
combined with the nearby Ngandja Reserves and Luama Katanga
Reserve, which together cover 2,683 square miles (6,951 square
kilometers). Deo Kujirakwinja, WCS Project manager in Kabobo,
believes both internal and external efforts are vital to the
sustainable management of the reserve, and identifying new
species can go a long way to that objective — drawing
international attention to the importance of the area and
harboring a sense of pride in nearby communities.

Nevada became the fifth state in the U.S. with stores selling
marijuana for recreational purposes, opening a market early
Saturday that is eventually expected to outpace any other in the
nation thanks to the millions of tourists who flock to Las
Vegas.
People began purchasing marijuana shortly after midnight, just
months after voters approved legalization in November and
marking the fastest turnaround from the ballot box to retail
sales in the country.
Hundreds of people lined up at Essence Cannabis Dispensary on
the Las Vegas Strip. People were excited and well-behaved as a
lone security guard looked on. A valet was available to park the
cars of customers.
A cheer erupted when the doors opened.
Those 21 and older with a valid ID can buy up to an ounce of
pot. Tourists are expected to make nearly two of every three
recreational pot purchases in Nevada, but people can only use
the drug in a private home.
It remains illegal to light up in public areas, including the
Las Vegas Strip, casinos, bars, restaurants, parks, convention
centers and concert halls — places frequently visited by
tourists. Violators face a $600 fine.
And driving under the influence of marijuana is still illegal.
Despite the limits on where people can get high and restrictions
on where the industry can advertise, dispensaries worked
furiously to prepare for the launch. They stamped labels on pot
products, stocked up their shelves, added security and checkout
stations, and announced specials.
Desert Grown Farms hired about 60 additional employees. Workers
in scrubs, hair nets and surgical masks slapped stickers on
sealed jars this week as others checked on marijuana plants or
carefully weighed buds.
“It would be a good problem to have if I couldn’t meet my
demand,” said CEO Armen Yemenidjian, whose Desert Grown Farms
owns the only dispensary that is selling recreational pot on the
Las Vegas Strip, across the street from the Stratosphere hotel.
Some dispensaries took to social media to spread the word or
tried to draw in buyers with special events. Some planned to
give away free marijuana to their first 100 customers or throw
parties with barbecues and food trucks later in the afternoon.
Some facilities are in strip malls, while others, in
stereotypical Las Vegas fashion, are in neighborhoods shared by
strip clubs.
Nevada joins Colorado, Oregon, Washington and Alaska in allowing
adults to buy the drug that’s still banned by the federal
government.

Can I legally grow my own cannabis?
If you’re a Nevada resident, yes, you may! An adult may grow up
to six plants in an enclosed, secure space, with up to 12 plants
per household.

SNIPPET:
For decades now, dandelions have been a source of disdain for
gardeners. Down on their knees, galoshes in a bunch, they have
ripped them up with reckless abandon, fearful that the flowers
will bloom and send seeds whirling around the well-manicured
rows of the garden. Or else, they have done such violent things
as mowed down dandelions in their youth, dumped boiling water on
them, and doused them in vinegar.
But, times have changed, and the new-age gardener is reaching
further back into the days of old. Dandelions have long been
used medicinally, and a century or more ago, they were a
respected source of food for many cultures, including Native
Americans. Though suburbia put a temporary hold on that, the
dandelion is making a comeback. Nowadays, it’s finding its way
back into our cuisine.
It only makes sense to make use of the apparent “noxious weed”,
as it is super nutritious, medicinal, and abundant.[img
width=20]
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-250817121424.gif[/img]<br
/>We don’t even have to cultivate dandelions, as we do most of t
he
vegetables we eat because just one flower head can provide up to
200 new plants, with no tilling, fertilizing, or “weeding”
required.

I have removed the disinformation posted here by K-Dog
questioning the serious scientific studies (there are MANY
studies confirming CO2 will continue to grievously heat the
atmosphere for centuries even if we stopped burning fossl fuels
today) predicting increased atmospheric heating for centuries
after we stop burning fossil fuels.
This is just one of them: [quote]Even if carbon dioxide
emissions came to a sudden halt, the carbon dioxide already in
Earth’s atmosphere could continue to warm our planet for
hundreds of years, [font=times new roman]according to Princeton

published in the
journal Nature Climate Change. [/quote]
If he has no interest in objective scientific inquiry, he has no
business posting here on that issue. K-Dog is in denial of the
grievous harm fossil fuels do to our planet. He will not even
acknowledge the empirical data from the following web site
(available 24/7) that shows how much pollutants are in our
atmosphere.
For example, because of the fires in the Los Angelos Area, parts
of the atmosphere there have over 469 PPM of CO2. :( :P

If K-Dog wants to wallow in la la land, that's his business. I
am done trying to get him to think logically and objectively in

All that said, K-Dog can be quite objective and logical when it
comes to Cannabis. He and I are on the same page in that area.

The Priceline of Pot and a Game Changer for the Marijuana
Industry: How Smart Investors Are Seeing Green

..
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, there’s a good chance
you’ve heard that the Marijuana Industry is undergoing explosive
growth across the United States.
While support for federal legalization of marijuana continues to
grow, a small group of legal marijuana companies are
strategically positioning themselves to cash in on this
fast-growing trend in a really big way.
“The Priceline of Pot” and a “Game Changer” for the Marijuana
Industry: How Smart Investors Are Seeing Green
Many experts agree that Legalized Marijuana is quickly becoming
the next big gold rush as it continues to spread like wildfire
across the United States.
Needless to day, smart entrepreneurs are rushing to stake their
claim in this promising new industry. The “Green Gold Rush” is
quickly spawning numerous opportunities for growers, retailers,
wholesalers, shippers, fertilizers, accessories, and of course
the edibles. In other words, this is just the beginning!
Unfortunately, most investors know very little about legalized
marijuana and because of this, they’re simply not prepared to
capitalize on the opportunity to start a new business in this
emerging industry.
Luckily, there are a number of relatively easy ways the average
investor can make impressive returns investing in the public
markets. One good example is Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc. (OTC:
LBUY). This Denver, Colorado based company is a
well-established industry leader, and is currently poised to
profit from several, if not all areas of the booming legalized
marijuana space.
Many people who got rich during the California Gold Rush of
1849, were not gold miners. Many savvy entrepreneurs became
millionaires by building successful companies that provided
prospectors and miners with important services and supplies.
In fact, California’s first millionaire was Sam Brannan, an
ex-Mormon who hyped the Gold Rush in his newspaper, The
California Star. He then profited from the Gold Rush by
supplying miners—at extravagant prices—through his general
stores in San Francisco and Sacramento. For a time, Brannan’s
sales topped $5,000 a day. That’s the equivalent of $125,000 in
today’s dollars.
Keep reading, and you’ll find more information on a savvy
technology company may be uniquely positioned to profit from the
marijuana boom, just like the entrepreneurs who got rich selling
supplies during the Gold Rush back in the 1800s.
This company could very well be the best investment opportunity
we’ve come across in years.
Not only has Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc. (OTC: LBUY) been
called a “game-changer” by NBC, but it has also been referred to
as the “The Priceline of Pot” by thestreet.com.
Why? Well, because LBUY has become the definitive online
resource for finding legal cannabis deals and specials. The
company’s website, Leafbuyer.com, helps connect millions of
consumers with dispensaries and suppliers all over the USA.
Remember what Priceline.com did for the global travel industry?
Well that’s what Leafbuyer.com could soon do for the thriving
legal marijuana industry.
This is great news for investors, because LBUY is currently
being traded on US stock exchanges, making it one of the very
few, publicly-listed companies with solid growth and
fundamentals available in the public markets.
Look at it this way. In a few years, the fast-growing legal
cannabis arena could leave many investors reminiscing sadly over
the ground-floor companies that got away, or it could leave them
basking in the rewards of the lucrative opportunities they took
advantage of.
Leafbuyer.com (OTC: LBUY) is on the verge of being recognized
by “The Street” which could blast the company’s stock into the
stratosphere, in the near future!
In other words, smart investors may soon be embracing the
ground-floor appeal of this new publicly traded company that’s
being dubbed The “Priceline” of the legal cannabis industry.
How Leafbuyer.com is Disrupting the Marijuana Industry
(OTC:LBUY)
In case you didn’t know, Leafbuyer.com has already grown into
the largest cannabis deals network in the entire country, with 5
million users monthly. First launched in Colorado, LBUY is
poised at the epicenter of the projected expansion of America’s
legal marijuana industry. It has already saved active pot
consumers over $5 million, and that number is growing
exponentially. Following the 2016 election, the company is
expanding into California, Florida, Nevada, Massachusetts,
Arkansas, and North Dakota.
LBUY currently services over 250 of the 600 dispensaries in the
Denver area and based on its 1st quarter numbers, LeafBuyer.com
is fast approaching a one million dollar run rate. And that’s
after targeting just one potential market.
Obviously,the company’s growth rate will accelerate as it
expands into 28 new markets. Assuming LBUY can duplicate its
proven business model in each state, it’s easy to see how this
up and coming company could quickly become one of the marijuana
industry’s the biggest, and most influential players.
Chances are, you are familiar with Groupon, a company that
connects its subscribers with local merchants who offer a
variety of deals. Well, during 2016 Groupon raked in a whopping
$3.1 billion.
Groupon has done for the consumer coupon industry, what
Priceline.com has done for the global travel industry. And
that’s exactly what LBUY has the potential to do for the legal
marijuana industry!
LeafBuyer’s national network of cannabis deals and information
already reaches millions of consumers every month. It is also
the official cannabis deals platform of TheCannabist.com (owned
by The Denver Post) and WestWord.com.
The company is working with partners in each state, and plans to
launch nationwide marketing initiative in the coming months. It
goes without saying, as it opens new markets, Leafbuyer will
scale operations as it offers an ever-growing selection of
cannabis deals to more, and more consumers.
Cayla Shortley, Director of Sales at LeafBuyer is quoted as
saying:
“We are excited to expand our platform to new and growing
markets across the country. We are now beyond the tipping point.
Our success in Colorado can be attributed to a customer-centric
focus and intense grassroots marketing.”
“We have witnessed a strong demand for our online platform
stemming from Colorado,” said Andre Leonard, Marketing Manager
of Leafbuyer.com. “With the success we have had in the hub of
the cannabis gold rush, it was an easy decision that our next
step would be to scale operations nationally to these new
markets.”
When you consider how big the legal marijuana market is
projected to grow in the near future, it’s easy to see how LBUY
is on its way to becoming a monster Cash Cow!
Yes, we’re currently witnessing the first stage of a cannabis
GOLD RUSH!
The only question is… will you get in on the ground floor? Or
will wait until everybody knows that cannabis stocks are a great
investment?
There’s an old saying that goes like this, “when everybody knows
it’s a good investment, it’s no longer a good investment”.
And that holds true now, more than ever. Smart investors know
that timing is a critical factor when it comes to profit
hunting. Everybody knows what they say about the early bird.
That’s right. He’s the one who gets the worm, or in this case,
the massive returns.
The dot.com era in the ’90s was responsible for turning Yahoo
and eBay into the giant, multi-billion dollar companies they are
today.Well, there’s another company that’s considered by far one
of the most successful stories to come out of the ’90s dot.com
boom. That company is Amazon.
All you have to do is watch the news to see that Amazon is on an
absolute tear this year. Jeff Bezos and company recently
acquired WholeFoods for 13.7 billion, and they’re fast on their
way to becoming a $1 trillion-dollar juggernaut.
So How Big is the Legalized Marijuana Opportunity?
According to Forbes magazine, North American Marijuana sales
grew by 30% to an astonishing 6.7 BILLION dollars. They also
estimate North American sales are projected to exceed 20 Billion
dollars by 2021. That’s an annual compounded growth rate of 25%.
In case you didn’t know, this growth rate is larger and faster
than the dot-com era growth rate of 22%.
In other words, this represents one of the most exciting
industries for investors that we have seen in more than a
decade.
And if that’s not enough to grab your attention, you’ll be
excited to know that in Canada, recently legalized recreational
marijuana, promises to spark a brand new $22.6-billion industry.
A new study also suggests that the Canadian pot industry will
easily eclipse the sale of beer, wine, and spirits… all
combined.
A soon-to-be-released Deloitte report entitled “Recreational
Marijuana: Insights and Opportunities”, concluded that Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau’s legalization of cannabis next year
could add much needed fuel to Canada’s lagging economy.
Mark Whitmore, vice-chair of Deloitte, said in an interview on
Wednesday (2).
“There hasn’t been anything like this — and granted it
wasn’t legislated — but you think of the dot-com … flurry,”
The November 2016 election in the United States was a turning
point, when we saw four more states vote to legalize
recreational marijuana. This brought the total number of
recreational use states to eight.
At the time of this writing, there are a total of 29 states,
along with the District of Columbia that allow legal use of
medicinal marijuana. And a number of states have pending medical
and recreational marijuana legislation in the works.
One of the biggest markets that will continue to have a huge
impact on the legal recreational cannabis industry was the state
of California, which boasts the 6th largest economy in the
world.
Billions and billions of dollars could potentially be made from
legal marijuana sales, in California alone. That, in
conjunction with the passage of marijuana laws in states like
Florida, means that more than half of the American population
will have legal access to medical or recreational cannabis.
In fact, Nevada is shooting to be the first state in the nation
to legalize cannabis social clubs. Imagine watching dozens of
social clubs for pot users popping up along on the Vegas Strip.
Of course, other states will follow Nevada’s lead, especially if
the clubs offer states another stream of tax revenue from the
sale of legalized marijuana.
We can all agree that it doesn’t take a genius to see that
cannabis is already on its way to becoming a huge industry
serving a massive consumer market!
Millions of marijuana users across America could rely on
Leafbuyer.com (OTC: LBUY) to get connected to the best deals at
dispensaries in their local areas. Plus, a variety of businesses
using the company’s website are already thriving, and watching
their sales increase exponentially.
Widespread acceptance of marijuana has become a huge part of pop
culture with celebrities like Morgan Freeman, Patrick Stewart,
Snoop Dogg, and Rihanna to name a few, being openly candid about
their love affair with weed.
On top of that, a recent CBS News poll from 2017 shows that
support for legalizing marijuana is higher now than ever. It
concluded that a whopping 61% of Americans think cannabis should
be legalized. This is a 5% increase from last year, and the
highest percentage that has ever been recorded in the poll. (5)
The bottom line? A staggering 88% of Americans are openly in
favor of marijuana use for medical or recreational purposes.
That’s almost 9 out of 1o adults!
Colorado was the first state to legalize recreational marijuana,
and while the naysayers said the initiative would never be a
success, the numbers have proven them wrong, year after year. In
just 10 months, the state saw 1 billion dollars in legal
cannabis sales during 2016. (7)
According to the Tax Foundation, nationwide legalization of
marijuana could generate up to $28 billion in additional tax
revenues for federal, state, and local governments. (8).
Needless to say, this is a great reason for bureaucrats to lend
their support to the legalization of pot in their respective
states.
Analysts at Cowen and Co. estimate the cannabis sector could be
worth $50 billion by 2026 if you include black market sales
entering the legal market. (9)
The fast-growing cannabis industry has helped many reluctant
state legislators recognize the economic benefit of legalizing
marijuana, and the taxes could reel in significant revenue for
their state.
It’s simple logic. As more and more states legalize marijuana,
more and more marijuana users will use Leafbuyer.com to find the
best deals! (OTC: LBUY)
