Long time penny stock failure, Jerry Grisaffi, steps back to the plate to whiff at more knuckle balls.


THCZ = Totally Hemp Crazy

Written by Janice Shell

February 23, 2015: On 10 February 2015, Totally Hemp Crazy (THCZ) founder, Jerry Grisaffi, had positive news to report: his Rocky Mountain High hemp-infused beverages, the company's flagship product, were nearly finished with the testing phase and would go into production the following week.

Three appealing flavors--Lemonade, Iced Tea, and Energy Drink--would soon, according to Grisaffi, be available through Amazon. Within the coming months, the drinks would also be available in retail stores thanks to THCZ's wholesale partner, Mr. Checkout Distributors. To coincide with the launch, Rhino Marketing--whose services had put Red Bull on the map--would begin a "planned social media blitz."

A week later, another press release appeared, informing THCZ's shareholders and the general public that an initial production run had been completed at Cold Spring Brewing Company in Minnesota. The enthusiastic Grisaffi directed readers to the company website featuring "dazzling new graphics." Right now, those dazzling graphics are all that can be found there. Apparently the iced tea is "relaxing," the energy drink gives you energy, and the lemonade is "fun." We also learn that at some point the company plans to market alcoholic beverages--tequila sunrise, screwdriver, and more--that are also laced with hemp.

Why hemp? Because it's supposed to be good for you, without containing THC, the cannabinoid that makes you high. (Okay, so the lemonade isn't that much fun.) Hemp, in the form of oil, seeds, or powder, can be sold anywhere in the U.S. Hemp seeds are a good source of plant proteins. What do they taste like? A fan of hemp protein shakes says, "It's hard to put a thumb on, but it's like oatmeal meets grass." Presumably that special flavor won't be a big draw, but energy drinks have enjoyed great success in recent years, despite general agreement that they taste awful.

The real reason people may buy hemp beverages, at least for awhile, and the reason THCZ says it'll sell them, is that to many people they seem a cool idea. A lot of cool ideas attached to pumped stocks have fallen by the wayside leaving shareholders thirsting for their money.

Totally Hemp Crazy

As a company, THCZ has a complicated past. Thanks to inadequate disclosures at OTCMarkets, its corporate history is difficult to untangle. The company was formed in Nevada on 29 October 2000 as Stealth Industries. In January 2009 it became Precious Metals Exchange (PRMX), and then morphed into Legends Food Corporation (LJWY) in May 2011. Legends, in turn, became Republic of Texas Brands, Incorporated (RTXB) in November 2011. Finally, the company changed its name to Totally Hemp Crazy Inc. and its ticker to THCZ in August 2014. Over the years, a lot of shareholder money has been flushed down the toilet on the various iterations.

Information about PRMX and LJWY is thin on the ground; the company didn't begin to make disclosures at OTCMarkets until August 2011, when it caught up with some old information from 2010. PRMX had intended to get into the cash-for-gold business, but encountered problems that were perhaps related to a lawsuit brought against the company by the State of Indiana on 25 September 2009. The suit alleged violations of Indiana law involving robo-calling and the activities of out-of-state corporations. The legal action evidently put a damper on plans to talk people into selling grandpa's old gold studs; according to the first reports filed, they were by that time looking for a new line of business.
