Truck driver can seek triple damages in lawsuit over THC content in CBD product, Supreme Court says

The Supreme Court ruled that a truck driver can sue Medical Marijuana Inc. For triple damages after claiming a CBD product was falsely advertised as THC-free and led to his firing.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett stated that a plaintiff can seek damages for business loss regardless of personal injury, supporting the truck driver's case.
Horn argues that he experienced a business injury due to his firing, according to his claims in court.
In dissent, Justice Brett Kavanaugh believed that RICO's exclusion of personal injury claims should have dismissed Horn's case.
