Defendant accused of getting consumers high without their permission<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Half-Baked Plans<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s an urban legend that\u2019s been floating around like so much indica haze for three decades or so, maybe more.<\/span><\/p>\n

It goes like this: A pair of brothers are returning home from college for Thanksgiving break. Before the holiday begins, they coordinate the baking of a \u201cspecial\u201d batch of chocolate cookies made with marijuana flour. They plan to bring a regular batch along as well; as the holiday evening drags on, they\u2019ll consume the special cookies while the rest of the family munches on the \u201cnormal\u201d treats. Holiday tedium averted, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

Not so fast. Grandma (in some versions it\u2019s a cousin, or aunt, or what have you) mistakenly switches the two batches, or mixes them together, and before you know it, the dessert portion of the Thanksgiving meal is heading into comedic territory. Dad is giggling uncontrollably, and Grandpa is loudly complaining about his inordinate thirst. The after-dinner board game descends into paranoid recriminations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, we\u2019ve got a case for you that probably led to similar situations \u2013 except in our case, the college kids get sued.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Case Your Memory Is Affected<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Before we get into the details, a quick refresher. Cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are derived from cannabis plants. THC is the psychoactive element in marijuana; in other words, it\u2019s what gets you high. CBD is not psychoactive. This is why CBD has made its way (fitfully and always with the looming threat of regulation) into somewhat mainstream consumer product lines.<\/span><\/p>\n

Products containing more than a small percentage of THC, however, are Schedule 1 drugs under the Controlled Substances Act.<\/span><\/p>\n

Probably best to not sell those, at least outside of certain states and their local licensing schemes \u2013 though even then the Feds could Trump the locals. With that out of the way, on to the case.<\/span><\/p>\n
