With the recent 'end' of the federal ban on medical marijuana, is it a viable investment?

Unfortunately, you have no business picking stocks. That is a scam, and I am going to break down why.

From the FIRST PAGE of the annual report (did you even read this?):

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial statements which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of $1,102,491 during the year ended September 30, 2013, has an accumulated deficit of $4,656,546 and has a working capital deficiency at September 30, 2013 of $999,440. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

This is the opinion of the AUDITOR.

Moving along.

Cash and cash equivalents $ 5,327

Yup, this company has $5,327 Canadian dollars. Not $5,327 thousand. $5,327. That's it. That's their whole bank account.

Oh, well isn't that interesting! "FLU". Hm, that doesn't sound much like a ticker symbol for a pot stock.

Looking at the annual report from 2009...

Let's get in our time machine and go allllll the way back to 2001's annual report...
