My brother's take on the marijuana stocks and bitcoin:

BitCoin man dangerous stuff, such an untested frontier type market. Another industry that is interesting to watch are the Marijuana stocks that are blowing up right and left.

And in response to a link my coworker found: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://blog.blockchain.info/2014/02/25/joint-statement/">http://blog.blockchain.info/2014/02/25/joint-statement/</a><!-- m -->

Yes as solid as you can be when one of your largest exchanges for your currency collapses. Notice the wording in the final paragraph “Acting as a custodian should require a high-bar, including appropriate security safeguards that are independently audited and tested on a regular basis….” It would be terrifying to me that there is no mandatory regulation, standards, or third party audit/regulation by these exchanges holding significant amounts of money for people. Until they get their exchanges more secure there is no way I go close to BitCoin as an investor, unless you are willing to lose your whole investment. I will say it is entertaining to watch though.
