A truck driver took legal matters into his own hands after he used a CBD product labeled “0% THC” and weeks later, failed a drug test and lost his job. Now, he’s suing the manufacturer using the same law used to take down the mafia—RICO—and the U.S. Supreme Court gave him the green light.

In this podcast episode of Layman's Law School, three Georgia trial attorneys and one brave laywoman break down:

⚖️ What RICO is and how it applies

🧪 Why “THC-free” CBD products can still get you fired

🧑‍⚖️ How the Supreme Court just expanded legal protections for workers

🚫 What you should do if you lose your job over a mislabeled product

Whether you're a CBD user, employer, or just curious about how mob laws apply to everyday life, this one’s for you.
