Cannabis market anyone following?

Jack1960 · Sep 1, 2018

I have made a lot of money trading marijuana stocks by following the calls on marijuana stocks by The Arora Report. My review of The Arora Report track record gave me the confidence to follow Arora signal on marijuana stocks. Nigam Arora has several free articles on MarketWatch and his blog.

I have been trying to find an additional source for good calls on marijuana stocks. Does any body know any?

TLRY: It's IPO was in july 2018. (not sure how you were able to add it in 2017.)

Cannabis stocks are hot and played by retail traders. big boys can't play them since Cannabis is not legal and its categorized as a scheduled 1 drug.

You are correct about TLRY, but misinterpreted my {scribbled} notes.

In January, 2017, I added
ACBFF 1.71 -- which sits at $6.77 today.
STZ took an interest last month and popped to $202 -- it's $209 today.
TLRY hit the news at $27, and is $64 today.
CGC hit the news at $30, and is at $46 today.

Grew a small amount of White Widow in a home closet a few years back. After sampling the goods since Acapulco Gold at a pre season baseball game in the 70's, the house grown was comparable.

Good seeds from Amsterdam via the internet, 100% miracle grow soil, some novice TLC and 3-300watt cfls for 18 by 18 in.(3 15 inch height plants. Got almost an ounce of very high grade.

Moral of story. Doesn't take much of anything to produce it. The tight controls are now about that protection. You can get caught with it now in NY as long as you are a consumer, decriminalized. Do not profit from it without giving the government it's share.

So, investment strategy, there always is one: Assume the government and the entrepreneurs they deem OK, will make it over the long run dealing Mary Jane will be lucrative for them. Figure out how you can be one the winning team. Best opportunities are probably already gone.
I just invested THC Buillion.

Investment option #1 One half gram vape oil was $130.00 USD, Vireo Health products, Queens, NY (One ml. solution containing 475 milligrams THC and 25 CBC)

Investment option #2 3 grams gold bullion is currently $120 USD

The oil lasts for 5-6 days until vaporized.

I have chronic pain, going on 20 years.
Which is my best investment vehicle?

Point is, THC-9 is worth over 6 times the price of Gold. Something you should considered note worthy when making your investment decision.
Sure does help with the pain and its sequelae.

Currently sampling the investment-

Good topic!

Cannabis Oil for Dogs: Everything You Need to Know

By Aly Semigran

In certain states across the country, medical marijuana is an option for people suffering from various ailments and seeking relief. Now, as research continues to emerge, pet parents and veterinarians alike are finding that medical cannabis can provide positive benefits for dogs as well.

Whether a dog has cancer, seizures, or anxiety, cannabis oil can serve as an alternative medication to help treat symptoms. Here’s everything pet parents need to know about cannabis oil for dogs.

What Is Cannabis Oil?

Cannabis oil is liquid derived from the marijuana plant. There are many ways to extract oil from the plant, including CO2 extraction, says Dr. Tim Shu, founder and CEO of a pet cannabis company in California called VETCBD.

“The [marijuana] flower contains trichomes, which are glands that have essential oils,” Shu explains. Once the glands are separated from the plant, they can be formulated to find the ideal ratio of cannabinoids, he says.

Marijuana plants contain 80 different cannabinoids, Shu says, including THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive component) and CBD (cannabidiol, the medical component).

“When you use cannabinoids together, it’s more effective than separately,” Shu says of the “entourage effect” offered by cannabis. Hemp products, on their own, contain less than 0.3 percent THC.

Dr. Gary Richter, owner and medical director of Montclair Veterinary Hospital in Oakland, California, points out that cannabis oil has no psychoactive effect on dogs when dosed properly. “Depending on the nature of the product, if it contains little or no THC, then the dog is not going to get high.”

What Are the Benefits of Cannabis Oil for Dogs?

Cannabis oil can be used to treat seizures, nausea, stress, anxiety, arthritis, back pain, symptoms of cancer, and gastrointestinal issues, among other health conditions in dogs.

Relief is provided as the cannabinoids in marijuana interact with the endocannabinoid system, Shu explains. “It’s a series of receptors that run throughout the body,” he says. “The cannabinoids interact with the receptors in the body and modulate things like pain, anxiety, and nausea.”

Unlike some traditional pain medicine for dogs, medical cannabis has no life-threatening side effects with proper dosage, Shu points out. “It doesn’t damage the kidney, liver, or GI tract. The dogs aren’t high or sedated.”

What Are the Potential Risks of Cannabis Oil for Pets?

Like any medications, overdosing can lead to potential risks for pets. “The most significant is THC toxicity, meaning, essentially, they are high,” Richter says. “Depending on how significantly a pet has been overdosed, the effects of that can be quite long-lasting, even days.” During these episodes, a pet may not be able to stand or eat. If you suspect an overdose, take your pet to the veterinarian immediately.

Life-threatening risks for dogs from medical cannabis are “exceedingly rare,” Richter says, adding that toxicity more often occurs when a pet has eaten a product that contains chocolate, coffee, or raisins. “Even if the THC toxicity is not excessive, they can sometimes have problems due to these other ingredients.” That said, ingestion of large amounts of marijuana has been fatal in a number of dogs, so preventing overdoses with medical cannabis is still extremely important, warns Dr. Jennifer Coates, a veterinary advisor with petMD.

Graham Quigley, owner and acupuncturist at the Holistic Animal Clinic in San Rafael, California, worries that as the popularity of alternative medicine increases, pet parents may buy into “overly ambitious claims about cannabis oil” from unreliable sources. Quigley stresses that cannabis oil is not a “cure-all.”

As with any medication, pet parents should consult their veterinarian first before treating their dog with cannabis oil.

How Is Cannabis Oil Administered to Dogs?

Though there are some topical treatments, cannabis oil is typically administered orally to dogs. It also can be used in conjunction with traditional medications and treatments. Emerging research suggests there can be “synergistic benefits” between marijuana and traditional medications, Richter says. “There are few, if any, known significant drug interactions that you really need to be concerned about.”

Again, the correct dosage is imperative. “As is the case with any medication, success has everything to do with dosing,” Richter says. “If you dose pets properly, then they are going to get the positive effect that you’re looking for while not having any psychoactive side effects.”

But herein lies a problem. The research needed to determine the correct dosage for CBD oil in dogs simply hasn’t been done yet, Coates says. And, to make matters worse, FDA testing has shown that many CBD products contain little if any CBD, she adds. The best option available to pet parents at this time is to talk to a veterinarian who has experience with pets being treated with cannabis oil about proper dosage and reputable manufacturers, Coates says.

Where Can Pet Owners Get Cannabis Oil for Their Dogs?

Obtaining medical cannabis for your pet all depends on where you live and your state’s marijuana laws.

“In California, to legally purchase marijuana, you must have a medical cannabis card, which a person would get from their doctor,” Richter says. “There is no legal mechanism by which I, as a veterinarian, can provide a medical cannabis card for a pet.”

Pet parents who want to give their dog cannabis oil should speak to their veterinarian. From there, pet parents who have a medical marijuana card can visit a reputable dispensary and purchase the product that best meets their pet’s needs.

Pet parents who live in regions where medical marijuana is not available can also consider hemp products, which have lower doses of THC.

It's pet CBD's and not pychoactive THC-9. Works great when company comes over. Keeps the dog calm and it is better for everyone. We only use when he is barking out of control and zero side effects. I use medical marijuana also, the side effects are less physical pain and a huge shit eating grin. Expensive medicine.

GWPH is one I have been following. Good story there. It actually pulled back a decent amount from the $150's on FDA approval of their Epilox drug. I think it went as low as $126.... that one will be $200 plus in time. https://elitetrader.com/et/threads/two-buys-for-now-irdm-urgn.321582/page-5#post-4676813

For pain right?
Do some research on Kratom. It might help.

Correct, diabetic peripheral neuropthy and nerve root damage resulting from severe advanced arthritis. THC-9 much more effective for me @ $750.00 a month, say 80% of my pain gone. Other 20% percent handled with morphine sulfate, delayed (12 hr) release, at $11.00 a month.

I had to take all morphine when I did not have the $750.00 and it was still $11.00. If I missed a dose for a single time, the sweat starts and the side effects are coming for the next 8 days.

Taking all this THC-9 does not have this effect at all.

My point is, marijuana way less problematic, for me and my ailments. Hate being even on a small 60 mg/day, 30 mg every 12 hours. Larger doses are tough to come down from comfortably. THC-9 does the trick. I just cannot drive at all any more and I am relatively pain free.

Chronic pain is brutal. You just have to accept it and move on. Not very easy, took me until 10 years ago.
