Yes, CNBC recommend THCZ as a good alternative to strictly-marijuana stocks. They said that a lot of the strictly-marijuana stocks are lacking professional executives as the helm, and that eventually as marijuana is more accepted and legalized, professional executives will be stepping in to run professional companies that will dominate the marijuana industry (similar to the tobacco industry a few decades back).

The CNBC article said that alternatives to strictly-marijuana companies, which focus on side products that compliment the marijuana industry, such as the food and beverage industry, are a stronger bet because they are not as exposed to the risks of the strictly-marijuana businesses.

In a nutshell, they said if you want to be involved in the marijuana gold rush, but don't want to take on the risk of the marijuana trade, then alternatives like THCZ are a great opportunity because they ride on the back of the marijuana gold rush while still being in the legal, more conservative beverage business.
