GRCU Stock Updates 08/18/2014 22:21:44 $GRCU
Thank u Stervc, it's all in black and white.
Long GRCU.
K So why are we traded on the OTC's?
PositiveVibes - the $35 mil is from previous company. GRCU bought the shell and therefore get to use this $35 mil as a NOL or net operating loss that can be used to offset future income of GRCU. This makes it an asset that as they will probably save around $10 mil income that would have been taxes paid. This makes the stock worth at least .02 per share. Do your DD because you are way off base here on this.
damn, grcu is a pretty bad stock.
everyone has already made the claims why, but here ya go;
allcbd was launched with poor design and no inventory. repeat, no inventory..
they don't have products to sell.
the site is a disaster. they could have had a intern produce a better site..
did meki make this site or her boy/girl toy?
seriously, this company is a bunch of weirdos...
grcu has proven to be a fraud..
if its halted soon, i would not be surprised.
Why we are not selling CBD right now could be due to a few different things. 1. Bob wants to make 100% sure that our products are compliant with the US laws before the big launch. 2. Bob does not want to launch our product due to pissing off a competitor. If this is the case, Bob wants to sell the company. 3. Bob wants to create tension before the big launch tomorrow.
4. We sold out immediately after launch Friday
Why are we on the OTC's? We may or may not have a 35 million deficit. Is this a bad thing? No. The creditors need to get their $ back and if we don't succeed as a company that is not going to happen. If it is found we do not have a liability, for the 35 mil, the company will not be traded on the OTC pinks, we will be headed to the big boards.
Take a wild guess at how Calkin can make people believe the significance of the Q2 financials? IMO today's action was no different than if the financials or website never made it on time. Might have been a bit worse in that case but IMO not much! Where were all the Bulls today to offset the Bears? Trades below:
I sent a few emails today and got no reply. I guess I am guilty also. I'm gonna stop bothering GRCU and let them do their job.
Really this company has accomplished more in few months and even more that we don't know about, but some think it can be done overnite , it's amazing how fast Robert Calkin has grown this company. to even come out with the CBD caps so fast is amazing. this all takes backing. I don't care who sells, their choice . most of my shares are 4 years old I will wait long as it takes. BECAUSE this company is real. if Calkin was not the CEO I might have my doubts, this guy is honest, says the people i know that know him, his driven and successful. GLTA
Exactly bud! This bullshit will pass eventually! And maybe I like spelling it that way?
GRCU
the reason they aren't answering the phones is because the only people calling there main number are people on this board and probably some them 2 and three times a day. Clue your calls are screened. Stop Calling relax! Be patient it isn't going to help.
OK thanks for your reply. I assume this group is the MM. I noticed that at around 3:57 pm price dropped 18%. Somebody really wanted to drop it badly.
Quinton…you are talking logically and based on investing facts some here don't want to hear that. i can't believe people can't see the significance of last week's financials. Granted GRCU didn't roll in the profits but so much was answered and laid out. Here is a company that isn't diluting its shares, compensating its' BOD with shares so that they are tied to the success of the company, and a foundation is being laid for 24/7/365 sales around the world. Name another OTC stock that can boast about such things. Most true INVESTORS aren't worried about the short term because of capital gain ramifications. What matters is where the stock price is in 6-12 months when true longs can sell and not pay short-term capital gains tax. From everything the company has put forth in the last 3 months the pps will be higher than .01 in 6-12 months. This instant gratification society we have now days is sickening.
The only downfall to your post is that you spell Quentin wrong It is en in not in on …
Running Q

Editor's Note: Julian Zelizer is a political historian at Princeton University and a New America Foundation fellow. He is the author of the forthcoming book, "The Fierce Urgency of Now: Lyndon Johnson, Congress and the Battle for the Great Society." The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the author.
(CNN) - A few decades ago, marijuana was a topic that relatively few people, mostly counterculture musicians and comedians, spoke about in public. The comedy team of Cheech and Chong made films such as "Up in Smoke" that extolled the pleasures of smoking pot at a time the subject was still taboo.
"When trouble times begin to bother me," they sang, "I take a toke and all my cares go up in smoke." On the fringes of American society, it was usually possible to find activists who wanted to legalize it, as the reggae artist Peter Tosh famously sang. Efforts to legalize the substance in the mid-1970s failed.
Now marijuana has gone mainstream. Twenty three states and the District of Columbia have legalized medical marijuana. Colorado and Washington have legalized pot for recreational use. The media has featured lively debate over the issue.
Joining other media outlets that have run articles supporting this cause, The New York Times editorial page published a number of high-profile pieces that call for making pot legal at the national level and outline specific steps that should be taken to ensure that the industry evolves in a safe manner.
How did we reach this point? How have we come to the brink of ending the national prohibition against a drug that has been roundly condemned for years as a grave danger to health and a gateway to drugs that can be devastating over time?
Here are eight reasons:
1. Generational change: The baby boomers are now the grandparents in the room. This is one of the most important factors driving the national debate.
Baby boomers grew up in an era when the use of pot was quite common. Even if a person from this generation did not smoke themselves, they knew someone -- often friends or family -- who did. According to a Pew Poll released in April, 52% of baby boomers favor legalization.
Martin Lee who directs the medical marijuana information service, Project CBD, said, "It's not just long-haired rebels and stoners. It's Mom and Dad, Republicans and Democrats, a real slice of America."
Their parents, who were more staunchly opposed to allowing this drug to be used, are now extremely elderly or deceased. With a gray generation that is more comfortable with the drug being used and sees it as not being greatly different than alcohol, the tenor of the debate changes. Younger and middle aged Americans don't find much pushback. With 69% of millennials supporting legalization, according to the same Pew poll, the opposition to legalization keeps falling.
Opinion: A risk not worth taking
2. The War on Drugs has failed: Many experts agree that the War on Drugs, launched under President Richard Nixon, has been a complete failure.
Often compared to the Prohibition Era, when Congress tried to ban alcohol, it has been clear that the focus on the legality of the sale and use of drugs -- rather than on the provision of services to addicts -- has resulted in bloated prisons and hugely expensive policing operations, neither of which have really stemmed the sale of these substances. Indeed, the fact that drugs such as marijuana have been illegal has spurred an unregulated criminal market that preys on disadvantaged Americans who often depend on this as a source of money.
While the danger of drugs such as heroin produces genuine confusion as to what the best alternative is, with lesser drugs such as marijuana, the best option seems clear: eliminate the laws. Opponents of legalizing pot are in the position of defending a failed approach to public policy.
3. The prison-industrial complex: The failure of the War on Drugs has been part of the reason that we have seen in the explosive growth of the prison-industrial complex that incarcerates millions of Americans, including a disproportionate number of African-American inmates.
Much of the push to legalize pot has come from the realization that imprisoning Americans for selling pot, with overflowing federal prisons that become training grounds for young men and women for a life of crime, is a bad idea.
4. States as laboratories of experimentation: With great frustration over national drug policy, the states took the lead. This has often been the case when areas of policy are broken and the federal government is too gridlocked to do anything about it. Over the past decade, numerous states have legalized the use of marijuana for medical purposes and most recently, in Colorado and Washington, for recreational purposes.
Each time a state government takes this step, it gives the cause more legitimacy. Each time more citizens live with legal marijuana and and life goes on without the change causing any great crises. The states offer models to other states, and perhaps the federal government, as to how to legalize pot.
Opinion: Pot is legal and sky hasn't fallen
5. Medical research: Thus far, there is no medical evidence that the drug has horrendous effects if used in moderation and, just as important, it has been shown to be much safer both in its effects and aftereffects than legal substances such as alcohol. Moreover, there is growing evidence that the drug can be used to help with ailments such as glaucoma, MS, severe migraines and other kinds of diseases.
To be sure, the verdict is still out and research must continue. But at this point there is not sufficient evidence to justify the ban.
6. Market incentives: As with almost everything else in the United States, markets can have a powerful impact on public opinion. The fact is that the legal marijuana market can mean big business for producers and sellers of the product in the United States. One expert predicted that the marijuana business, estimated at $1.5 billion in 2013, could reach $10 billion by 2018.
The New York Times reports that startups have been taking advantage of the opportunities in this growing industry where major corporations have not taken charge.
With so many areas of the economy reeling from the "new normal", in which the industries that created jobs simply don't return, the revenue potential from selling pot is attractive. Many state politicians are also looking to the substance, realizing that taxing it could bring in much needed revenue, just as the alcohol tax was a boon for the government after the repeal of Prohibition.
7. Pop culture: When it comes to social change, popular culture matters. Many commentators have noticed the impact that the increasingly widespread depiction of homosexual characters in movies and television had on social attitudes. The same is true with pot.
Of course, drug use has a longer place in popular culture. Musicians from the 1960s were already extolling the drug long before it was mainstream. One just has to listen to Simon and Garfunkel's famous concert in Central Park, where they thank the drug dealers, to find this history.
But pot use has also become more familiar in mainstream movies (such as the hit television show "Weeds" and films by Judd Apatow) without great stigma. Television shows such as "Mad Men," "The Office," and "Shameless" have featured characters smoking pot without it being a focus of the show.
8. Opinion makers: With all the pieces in place, the opinion makers have jumped in as well. More and more editors, journalists and reporters are talking about pot as if it is something that can and should be be legalized.
The probability that the national prohibition on marijuana will end is becoming greater every day. It is almost inconceivable to imagine that it will last much more than a few years.
This has been a long process, one where many factors have converged to transform the way that we think of a law and a substance. The important next step will to give as much attention to the way we handle legal markets once they are in place.

Ill try it again without using any names! True shorts have covered by now. This is an orchestrated final push by certain group/groups to take the price down in order to load up. Green Cures tax benefits alone are worth 30 mil which equates to .02. That's without any revenue or product to sell! That's where you start then add what is in the pipeline. No wonder the greedy bastards want your shares
GRCU
I am seeing and liking the results so far...I doubt flippers would agree with me on this one LOL!! GRCU
Good point. "Plenty" could mean anything from a pack of bubble gum to a new house depending on who you ask. Point is the PPS is dropping for a reason. It's not MM manipulation. It sure as hell isn't a few posts on iHub lmao. People want results. What makes GRCU stand out from everybody else? That's what we need. Not some bullshit website you can't order from lol.
Interesting......but it all depends on what you call plenty. Personally, to me plenty has two different definitions, one for the investor and another one for the flipper LOL!!! GRCU all year round
I make pleny of money flipping other stocks day trading. The only stocks I am long in or care about are what I post about on ihub. If you want them to wait fair enough. As the PPS drops, so does investor confidence new or old. The fact that GRCU isn't even answering the phones should throw a red flag.
Thank u Stervc, it's all in black and white.
