So a truck driver is headed to the Supreme Court after failing
00:02
a drug test due to CBD use.
00:05
Is that still a thing?
00:07
I thought CBD was ok.
00:08
Yeah, me too.
00:09
I don't know. So apparently the driver was fired in 2012
00:12
for failing a drug test after taking a CBD oil.
00:16
He said it was advertised on the packaging that it was a
00:18
THC free and he was singing for back pain after an accident
00:23
right? So he's suing the CBD company under the Rico
00:27
Act, which is typically for organized crime,
00:29
like, you know,
00:30
like medical shit. That's what I always do behind the show
00:33
saying that the company committed fraud saying that their product was THC
00:37
free. But again,
00:39
the test shows otherwise the Supreme Court will decide that the driver
00:43
can sue the company under the Rico Act,
00:45
which would let him collect damages,
00:47
triple damages if he wins.
00:49
So the CBD company has appealed,
00:51
saying personal injuries can't sue under the Rico Act.
00:55
Interesting. That's interesting.
00:57
The driver says the CBD called a business injury because he was
01:00
fired and went into financial ruin.
01:03
And speaking of drug tests,
01:05
did you hear about the NYPD.
01:07
No. New York City cops are suing the city's mayor for
01:11
his zero tolerance policy on steroids.
01:15
So it looks like they want to bulk up for hot boy
01:17
summer. The NYPD is cracking down on cops.
01:21
Steroids use, firing those who fail steroids tests unless they have
01:26
a medical prescription for it.
01:28
Some are saying that is overreach and that they'd rather have cops
01:33
in good shape who can protect themselves and others.
01:36
So, should they just let cops get swollen?
01:40
I mean, yeah,
01:42
you want a buff,
01:43
cop stopping crime people?
01:46
Some are a little scrawny and some are even like the bad
01:53
guy. I don't think so.
01:54
But then two, look at the other side.
01:56
It's like they can be like,
01:58
I think the steroids makes them get all,
02:00
like, no, yeah,
02:02
the side effects for sure.
02:04
So, maybe that's also part of it but if a doctor
02:07
again, official doctor isn't just signing off.
02:10
But, like, you know,
02:11
maybe then, ok,
02:12
or just at the gym,
02:13
you know, whatever.
