Date: May 23rd, 2018 7:41 PM Author: Stimulating scarlet macaca Find some addicts -- sue the large medical marijuana growers and sellers for getting them hooked. Some of these operations are worth tens of millions. The shit is illegal under federal law so you have negligence per se. I'm amazed they haven't been sued out of existence already. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3984898&forum_id=2#36114788) |
 |
Date: May 23rd, 2018 7:47 PM Author: razzmatazz bawdyhouse depressive I've never researched negligence per se in the context of a state-federal fight, but my sense is that the greater specificity and more recent nature of pro-weed statutes establishes that the distribution is not contrary to the public policy of the state.
(I don't know what statutory or constitutional protections the various pro-weed states have on the matter, so I ignored them.) |

Date: May 23rd, 2018 7:49 PM Author: Stimulating scarlet macaca The case law will tell you shit here I'm betting. That's why you can probably get 100 settlements before a trial decision of any kind is obtained. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3984898&forum_id=2#36114841) |

Date: May 23rd, 2018 7:53 PM Author: Stimulating scarlet macaca Marijuana addicts and hard drug addicts who claim marijuana was their gateway drug. Damages are obvious in both cases. At a minimum you need continued monitoring for future health problems like the increased risk of a schizophrenic incident.

|
Date: May 23rd, 2018 8:16 PM Author: Stimulating scarlet macaca Zero of these cases got tossed on MTDs because whether the bank received sufficient notice is always a question of fact.

Date: May 24th, 2018 11:12 AM Author: Stimulating scarlet macaca In NY at least the doctors dont write prescriptions. They write recommendations.

Date: May 24th, 2018 11:18 AM Author: appetizing doobsian box office knife I think that's a pretty different circumstance. It was probably some crazy strain that wasn't supposed to get out on the market and was mislabeled. I don't think your idea is the worst in the world. But it's important to remember that just because a product might suck for your health (ex. soda) doesn't mean you can turn your client's injuries into a successful judgment. People listed all of the reasons above (lack of a duty, causation issues, assumption of risk).
Best case scenario is that big marijuana is where big tobacco was in the 60's-80's (mislabeling products and ingredients, failing to warn of known side effects that user is not necessarily aware of etc.) I think the way states have legalized it makes it a lot harder to go after the mj companies. States require all kinds of disclosures in the dispensary of the harmful effects of the drug and they are very strict about regulating the product and the ingredients itself. So basically, it's like cigarettes are now, and big tobacco isn't a big source of tort litigation anymore. |

Date: May 24th, 2018 11:22 AM Author: Stimulating scarlet macaca Like tobacco its money on the table for plaintiffs firms now that the growerers arent mom and pops but instead have deep pockets.
