@b4zz4 now that we are getting closer to producing consistent donable product in quantity..this is really THE huge news..but then WHY if we are closer we don't have any updates?i'm not saying we must have them,but it would be awesome at least have an idea of how much and when(about at least) the distribution will start..we are all here waiting for that..and if we are closer..i think is time to have more specific information..or am i wrong?thx
Actually
ciccas4 I think the news is
... the first truly successful low environmental impact strain has proven to be an indica particularly suited to the northern grow. Unless there is a dramatic improvement evident in some of the indoor strains being trialled then this summer's outdoor grow will be the first commercial-scale CANNdy crop. Permits for this are complete, as are the necessary security fencing and other measures as per government requirement. em added
To me that is a very exciting announcement. What more can anyone possibly expect in a long-term, multi-year project such as this?
I guess I could have been more specific and said "this
northern hemisphere summer's outdoor grow". Is that not an update? Does that not tell you we are almost certainly looking at a Fall harvest, drying, curing and testing time before we can pack and deliver product in quantity?
If one or more of the indoor test varieties should deliver spectacular result in the test grows then
maybe a suitable indoor crop can be cloned and produced first and then there would be a different announcement to make.
In the meantime software upgrades are pending and we are investigating potential methods of incentivizing dispensaries to join the YesWeCANN movement and donate inventory into the CANNdy medication stream in states where there are no CANNdy grows. We are looking at trying to do so within the current software update round and
if that proves feasible then that will be another announcement.
Why not just provide CANNdy seed or plant stock for other states? Because it is currently in breach of U.S. federal laws to do so. CANNdy can not cross state lines, period. It will not legally be able to do so unless and until there is a change in cannabis's Schedule I status.
Would we like to do things more quickly than we are? Absolutely!
Are we going to go any faster, maybe take any shortcuts to skirt around state and local laws? Not a chance!
This will take as long as it takes. I'm sorry if that disappoints.
