Washington – Washington (AP) – The Supreme Court on Wednesday came to a truck driver who wants to judge a triple damage over a CBD hemp product, which he says he was falsely advertised as free from the active ingredient in marijuana and led to dismissal.
5-4 Opinion clears the driver’s path to seek triple damage under Anti-Mob Law. This does not decide his main allegations that the product content of the product has fired him.
Douglas Horn said he wanted to cure chronic shoulder and back pain after a serious incident. He chose the product because it was advertised as free by THC, which gives marijuana high. CBD is usually a legitimate hemp compound that is widely sold as a dietary supplement.
But laboratory tests done after Horn’s dismissal for failure of a routine medicine test have confirmed that the product has THC, he claims.
Horn filed a case against Vista, based in California Medical Marijuana Inc. And he sought triple damage under the Law on Influenced and Corrupted Rocket Organizations, often known as Rico.
The company pulled back, challenging Horn’s account and said he could not judge for higher damage, as he claimed to be injured, not harm to his business.
Horn says his shooting was business harm and he was financially ruined and the Court of Appeal allowed Horn’s request to move forward.
