The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of a truck driver, Douglas Horn, allowing him to pursue a lawsuit for triple damages against Medical Marijuana Inc. Horn claims he was misled by the company's CBD product, which was advertised as free from THC, the psychoactive component of marijuana. After using the product for pain relief, he failed a drug test and was subsequently fired. The Court's ruling under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) does not address the substance of his claims but permits him to seek higher damages, as he argues that his firing equates to a business injury.
The Supreme Court's ruling allows a truck driver to pursue a lawsuit for triple damages against a CBD company, claiming false advertising led to his firing.
The court's decision does not resolve the truck driver's claims regarding the THC content in the product but supports his right to seek damages under RICO.
