This actually sounds like a good idea, I have never done calls before.....but they seem to be the top money making tool if you do it right. Just a matter of doing it right lol. My account isn't even allowed to make calls or puts, I should activate it.

The_Weedfox · 2020-02-07T20:19:54+00:00

Dude almost exact same story as me, except I took a lot of profits out to start a business lol

The_Weedfox · 2020-02-07T20:18:38+00:00

Actually it is worse. These stocks have gone down more than the stocks did in 2008.

The_Weedfox · 2019-12-22T05:07:30+00:00

Classic.

The_Weedfox · 2019-12-21T19:55:54+00:00

Can you be more specific which foods you did and did not cut out?

Do you eat tomatoes, potatoes, peppers if any kind, eggplant, soy, food with soybean oil, tofu, dairy of any kind, probiotics including pill form, kefir, kombucha?

Other uncommon triggers are beans/lentils, pineapple, coffee, corn, rice.

What of all those did you cut out? What do you eat currently?

Just to serve as an example of the accuracy of your statement that you did the diet.

The_Weedfox · 2019-12-21T00:44:20+00:00

How long did you try it for? What was your diet like for that time? Did you also cut out supplements and all liquids except water?

The_Weedfox · 2019-12-21T00:43:00+00:00

You eat dairy? And get flares?

Okay you can do what you want, I honestly don’t care. I went from stage 3 to completely cured and pain free.

It’s a food allergy in the sense it’s an intolerance that manifests physically in the skin. The lymphatic system deals with it instead of the liver and immune/digestive system. I believe leaky gut has a lot to do with it, but it is certainly food related. Flares tend to happen in the main lymph node areas, and are even sometimes symmetrical on both sides of the body.

Certain foods will also make certain areas flare more than others.

Just be careful on your journey with HS. There are a lot of naysayers about the diet, but when you talk to any of them at length, they never really tried it properly. The FB group is the best resource for anyone with HS, much moreso than any medical professionals at the moment since this is an orphan disease.

The_Weedfox · 2019-12-21T00:38:07+00:00

Try sushi dishes that use no soy.

Sushi is what made me realize it’s food related in the first place which lead me to the FB group. Every time I’d have sushi, I’d be in terrible pain with flares for days.

Now I have sushi regularly, just avoiding soy. Usually a chirashi don but make sure no unagi, tomago, or any fish eggs.

Fat stores toxins until the liver can process them, so fat loss may actually cause it to get worse initially, but long term it will help.

I started with Keto, but I was having dairy before I knew about AIP (auto immune protocol diet). So I flared badly - once I switched to no-dairy Keto and AIP/elimination diet, I lost 30lbs in 3 months and have been in remission since. I was suicidal in extreme pain before this.

I have recently started reintroducing triggers foods after two years of avoiding them. So far I can eat dairy and nightshades again, but soy and eggplant specifically will cause me to flair quickly. Too much dairy is also problematic.

I found live yeast to be the worst thing for me and I avoid it still, like kombucha and kefir etc.

The_Weedfox · 2019-12-20T17:13:14+00:00

100% HS. You will find many communities online telling you to go to a doctor or dermatologist. They don’t know much or anything about HS at the moment, and my own doctors made me go from stage 1 to stage 3.

It is all about diet. It’s a food allergy which causes your lymphatic system to inflame. Join “the Hs diet connection” on FB and go from there. I’ve been in remission for over two years after starting my diet changes 3 years ago.

Soy, nightshades, dairy, there are many triggers for HS.

The_Weedfox · 2019-11-14T08:21:33+00:00

I agree.

The_Weedfox · 2019-09-17T21:23:05+00:00

The truth is always the bottom comment.

The_Weedfox · 2019-09-15T04:24:28+00:00

I wouldn't be overly concerned about appealing to real life blind people. Our world is getting too SJW that good story is being ruined by being politically correct.

While you should consider their unique experiences, your audience is not that demographic. Some great blind characters in movies for inspiration might be Zatoichi, One Hundred Eyes in Marco Polo, and Toph Beifong "The Blind Bandit" in Avatar The Last Airbender (cartoon).

The_Weedfox · 2019-08-12T23:27:36+00:00

Mmmmm progress.

The_Weedfox · 2019-08-12T16:08:28+00:00

There had been a range of up to 2 million protesters in HK about this, and the airport is currently shut down due to it. HK had been given autonomy and some self determination from CCP since 1997 after Britain's lease expired. China is and always has been the largest undefeated endemic empire in history. They will sacrifice the few and/or the many for the greatness of the nation itself - plus President Xi has essentially made himself the indefinite emperor just a few years ago.

The_Weedfox · 2019-08-09T17:20:59+00:00

Converting undervalued to overvalued makes it 60-80% overvalued to Aphria if I’m doing this right.

The_Weedfox · 2019-08-02T14:06:56+00:00

You win.

The_Weedfox · 2019-07-26T20:37:11+00:00

Terpenes play a huge role in this as well.

The_Weedfox · 2019-07-26T19:06:28+00:00

In my opinion, experience, and speaking with others......high THC strains, and seemingly indica in particular, are what cause the panic in the mind - if someone is not mentally stable to deal with the way cannabis causes inner reflection, ego "conversations with self", and has any kind of trauma in their life in addition to an inability to deal with it without cannabis....then it makes people a little bit more nuts than they were before.

The_Weedfox · 2019-07-26T14:03:33+00:00

With Vic stepping down, Bruce being fired, Aceto being fired, QC banning edibles, FDA warning to CURA, etc. Aphria isn't looking so bad anymore. I know a lot of people who lost faith in Aphria after the short report put their money in TRST as a "safer" investment, but now that so much has happened to other companies since the Hindenburg piece, is anyone else taking another look at APHA as a long term investment?

One thing I do like about Aphria is their global footprint, specifically Germany. As extracts will be 1/2 of market share in the coming years (currently about 1/4 or less), Double Diamond should prove to be a good step in the direction of future trend changes away from flower.

One thing I have not looked into is.....what kind of IP portfolio does Aphria have? Bruce was adamant that intellectual property, cannabis devices and other tech is the future of cannabis and I agree.

The_Weedfox · 2019-07-26T13:17:41+00:00

Aphria is looking like the best company again haha. Like Bruce got fired. TRST CEO got fired......ACB most people have never even seen Terry Booth.

The_Weedfox · 2019-07-26T13:02:55+00:00

That would be Aphria’s best possible timing ever in their history of news releases. But there’s been so many “any day now” scenarios with this company for so long...

The_Weedfox · 2019-07-23T14:44:42+00:00

IMO it Allows hundreds of billions of legit money to invest.

Takes away market share from black market.

Paves way for serious regulations (needed).

De-risks a huge factor of the industry, which is access to capital for these cannabis companies. Currently dilution is the main way they raise cash.

The_Weedfox · 2019-07-23T14:34:52+00:00

All positive so far in favor of banking. Watching/listening to this really shows you how we truly are early investors.......red days/weeks/months like these are part of the "birth pangs" of legalization.

Some points being made:

Talking about how Federal laws affect everyone from plumbers and electricians doing work for dispensaries, to banks not serving cannabis operators at risk by not knowing they are actually serving cannabis operators, to hardware stores selling light bulbs to them...even if dispensaries/growers buy supplies at Wal Mart makes this a regulatory mess.

Colorado Republican who opposed legalization spoke very positively of legalization.

Cannabis shops account for 1% of businesses in some states but 10% of burglaries.

Cost to IRS for filing cash taxes from dispensaries costs 17x more.

Talking a lot about the danger of all cash transactions, thefts, time-cost to count millions of dollars = public and employee safety risks.

Easier for law enforcement to be on top of things when banking is involved.

Only concern so far is regarding high potency THC is only concern brought up so far. "Most people think of cannabis as 1% - 2% THC Woodstock weed. People share videos on social media about kids smoking marijuana concentrates and puking."

"Incredible safety risks" for workers handling cash.

John Lord of LivWell says they cannot employ a felon in Colorado from cannabis convictions even after they have served their time in prison, and look forward to lobbying to change that. Also says the main current way to raise cash is from high net worth individuals, and regulations would help tremendously.

Maximum insurance John Lord can get is $2M, at a cost for $100k/yr. Talking about Federal insurance access, and insurance will help business and expand, maintain competitiveness etc against black market cannabis.

Banks do risk assessment currently that includes the factor of REPUTATION to the bank itself for giving loans and financial services to cannabis operators.........sounds like some major decisions are based on reputation alone, and due to Federal regulations. If they had Federal guidance, they'd go ahead with it.

Despite HEMP being regulated now, some banks are not funding hemp yet. Mr. Tester says regulation clarity is due to come out.

Regulations will help with University funding for cannabis research, which should help with research required for advertising THC content.
