In a narrow 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a truck driver seeking damages under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) from a cannabis company. The decision permits the driver, Douglas Horn, to proceed with his claim that the cannabidiol (CBD) product he used was deceptively marketed as free of psychoactive chemicals. The ruling confirms that the RICO statute does not categorically bar personal injury claims.
