A little update from Cannabiscoin.
With regard to the rest the Yes We CANN movement is a hybrid child of two of the most controversial topics in the U.S.: cryptocurrency and State-legal/Federally-illegal medical marijuana - in some cases recreational marijuana too.
This leads to tension between the hyperactive, short life-cycle crypto ecosystem along with the immediately-if-not-sooner needs and desires of crypto traders and the careful, one step at a time, always in compliance with rapidly evolving legislative and local ordinance State requirements of medical marijuana providers. That tightrope must be negotiated while avoiding drawing too much attention from the Feds who do not recognize State rights to determine their own path on what is Federally classed as a Schedule I narcotic of no medicinal value.
Because federal agencies and prosecutors have displayed a nasty proclivity for shutting down State-legal dispensaries and marijuana cultivators there has been a certain reluctance to publish road maps and brochures, although this is slowly changing as rogue agencies are brought to heel.
You'd like to know what has been accomplished so far and the answer is one heck of a lot.
You will realize that locating and purchasing land and/or facilities in places licensed for marijuana growing takes significant time and yes, exactly where marijuana may be grown is tightly controlled and strictly licensed.
Then there's outfitting the grows with hybrid solar and wind power, DeltaNine's grows are fully or partially off grid. That's in addition to outfitting the actual grow facilities. That's all before growing pilot test grows to determine which strains do well in particular sites and deliver the desired product - then you have to propagate and actually grow the crops.
You can see some of the pictures ∆9 used to post of facility build-outs and significant developments starting in an old thread
here;
here;
here and
here, for example, suit yourself if you bother scrolling through for more.
Unfortunately pictures of progress used to stir too much jealousy, precipitate such FUD storms from competing coins, waste so much time and distract focus that they were not worth it and eventually the policy became one of announcement only ex post facto, with virtually no progress photos posted along the way anymore. Very sad for genuine supporters but the bottom line is that people can't work and be in here hosing off FUD at the same time.
So, for a quick overview then ∆9 is involved with several partners in commercial grows with some portion of the crops to be devoted to CANNdy supply, the CannLab, which is devoted entirely to developing CANNdy strains, been working with partners on the requirements for a dispensary in Phoenix, all in Arizona, has been developing relations with mj businesses in Colorado, where his family has considerable land holdings, doing similarly with businesses in Nevada and was looking at cannabis-licensed land in California (I don't know the results of that).
There are plenty of other developments besides the grows too but as I said, they will only be announced ex post facto.
This is a large, complex and multi-year project which is proceeding extremely well. If its somewhat cumbersome pace drags too much for crypto traders that's fine, no one here will think poorly of them jumping ship for something shinier and if they happen to miss sudden step increases in CannabisCoin's exchange rate when achievements are announced, I'm afraid that's life.
Hopefully this helps you catch up on the what and why of CannabisCoin without having to wade through 500-odd pages of forum posts.
Cheers from the land down-under.
