Supreme Court Weighs Trucker's RICO Suit Against CBD Company After THC-Laced Product

Justices deliberate on whether the anti-racketeering law applies to a trucker's job loss from a failed drug test linked to a mislabeled CBD product.

Douglas Horn, a former truck driver, claims he was fired after consuming a CBD product falsely advertised as THC-free.
Horn seeks to use the RICO Act to sue Medical Marijuana Inc., aiming for triple damages for alleged business harm.
The case hinges on whether job loss can be classified as a business injury under RICO, with justices divided on the interpretation.
Conservative justices express concern over expanding RICO to cover personal injuries, while liberal justices argue for broader application.
A ruling is expected by June, potentially setting a precedent for how RICO can be applied in product liability cases.
