re: #124 Sharmuta

When a drunk kills someone in a car crash, big alcohol doesn’t get sued. If they were at a bar, the bar might be held liable in a lawsuit, but usually the responsible party in wrongful death cases involving alcohol is the consumer of the alcohol/provider of the alcohol, and not the manufacturer of the product.

In many cases with California pot dispensaries, the manufacturer and the provider are the same people/club. They grow it, they sell it. Under this new ruling, they could then be held liable for any effects of their product — lung damage, cognition impairment, accidents, you name it.
