I bet this guy is Great. This is the sort of business we grower/tokers need to start seeing prosper right through the hard ground of the current stock environment.
If our cannabis can become an investment by the mainstream of our business culture then our legalization just CanNOT be too far behind.
I asked the Chinese girls I was in college accounting class with (and these girls worked hard and this was a knee-buster of a college class )Â if they ever had Coka Cola over there in the homeland. When they excitedly said, "Yes!" I knew capitalism was not too far behind.
Same applies here with a pot-based business. Once they start getting used to us being around and not being distant and murderous alien lifeforms they only hear about from the pukey politicians then we are on our way to acceptance and legalization.
Here is the next installment of the thin edge of the wedge, pot haters. Brought to you by: the scientific community and your local marijuana grower's community.

Subject: KUB: "Are these guys nuts? They'll NEVER get FDA approval for their
cannabis-based medicines."
Dear Friends,
Last week, Gulf Onshore, a publicly traded, over-the-counter, oil
leasing company acquired the assets of Cannex Therapeutics, a cannabis
research and development company that was started by Dr. Robert
Melamede, Richard Cowan and yours truly.
In simple terms, the owners of Gulf have decided to exit the oil
business, sell off their oil leases and merge with Cannex. For them,
our venture is just the ticket for an environmentally friendly, 21st
century company. Best of all, we acquired controlling interest and,
with their full support, replaced their team with ours.
Hopefully, people will appreciate that in merging our two companies,
we recycled an ugly old oil company, into a cannabis-friendly company
instead. Fox News and other financial networks covered the event, as
did Bio Century, a $4,000 per year trade magazine for the biotech
industry.
Meanwhile, many of our friends and most of the drug policy reform
movement was left scratching their heads and wondering, "Are these
guys nuts? They'll NEVER get FDA approval for their cannabis-based
medicines."
Of course, when we explain our plan, the lights go on and people
understand why we are confident we can succeed.
For example, the FDA has already approved phase 3 human trials of
another cannabis based product by a pharmaceutical company. We
believe our product is very similar in formulation and much more
effective. In fact, we conducted tests in Canada that confirmed that
our product was more desirable. However, the important point here is
that the precedent has already been established for us.
Another objection that we hear is that our venture is too risky and
uncertain. Yes, our venture is a risk and investors could lose
everything, but where is there a "safe" investment these days? Let’s
say we had a deal with Lehman Bros. It was guaranteed by AIG and
funded by RBS and our cash is managed by Madoff & Co. Think how safe
that would have looked!
Meanwhile, in the real world, we attempted to launch our new endeavor,
while we confronted a stock market crash and a collapse of the credit
markets. Despite such overwhelming challenges, we have persevered and
we have made business history.
So, for us, right now, acquiring a publicly traded company is a
significant accomplishment, not just for us, but for all who believe
in this miraculous, healing herb.
Everyone congratulates us, but then they go out of their way to inform
me that the odds are just too staggering for me to pull this off.
Well, excuse me, but I have a proven track record of repeatedly
defying enormous odds and still succeeding:
--No one has ever survived my form of cancer for more than a few
years, yet this is my 35th year of surviving this deadly disease and
cannabis is the only medicine I use. For most of those 35 years
people laughed at me when I told them the cannabis was keeping my
cancer under control. Today, our company has a database of 510
scientific, peer-reviewed studies showing that cannabinoids kill
cancer cells.
--No one believed me when I promised to deliver the half million
dollars we needed to collect signatures and qualify Prop. 215 for the
ballot, but I did. Everyone said we would never succeed, but I knew
we had the polling numbers and the element of surprise. I told our
wealthy sponsors, "It will never be easier or less expensive than
NOW."Â Fortunately, they listened and gave us the money.
--No one believed I could fight off 19 felony charges with a minimum
of 40 years in prison, but I did AND so did you, because you supported
my battle with the Blue Meanies and many of you even contributed to my
defense fund.
--No one, not even my closest friends and family, believed me when I
insisted that I would ultimately be vindicated, my convictions
dismissed, and my record expunged, yet that is exactly what came to
pass.
As you can see, I have an extraordinary track record of overcoming
seemingly impossible odds. I ask that you respect my track record and
join our venture. Vote with your wallet, so we can work together to
show the world that we mean business. Even if you are only investing
$100 through an online brokerage site, you'll still be making a
statement and you'll be investing in a prosperous future of your own
values and beliefs.
It amazes me how excited my friends and fellow activist become about
paying the government $100 million in taxes. How about creating a
$100 million cannabis-based medicine company instead? Personally, I
find that far more exciting and creative.
Can we actually create a viable, cannabis-based pharmaceutical company
with FDA approved medicines that are nontoxic, organic, and highly
effective? All I can tell you is what I tell everyone else:
"It will never be easier or less expensive then NOW."
If it would be a suitable investment for you, we are a publicly
traded, over-the-counter (Bulletin Board, not Pink Sheets) stock, you
can look us up with our current symbol NASD OTCBB: GFON and invest and
own a stake in a future world where cannabis is accepted and approved
for medical use.
But what about the name? Don't worry, we will be announcing a change
in the company name to Cannabis Science Inc. (CSI), later this week.
Call me if you have any questions.
Let freedom grow,
Steve Kubby, CEO, Cannabis Science, Inc.
