Even though hemp products at THC concentrations below 0.3 percent are now legal under Texas law and federal law, in some cases, a positive THC result on a drug test may derail an employment opportunity and has resulted in some employees losing their jobs. A small number of CBD manufacturers are parties to lawsuits alleging that their products have caused people to lose their jobs, according to reporting from Consumer Reports. Experts in the field are describing the situation as complex and say things are likely to get more complex before any governmental guidance is available.

spacer image
A lawsuit over a surfer's death at BSR's surf resort in Waco, Texas alleges the resort owners attempted to cover up details of the death. According to attorneys at a pretrial hearing, BSR tried to cover up evidence of a deadly brain-eating amoeba that possibly led to the death of a New Jersey surfer last year. The lawsuit was filed in April in Wacoâ??s 414th State District Court by the surfer's parents and seeks more than $1 million from BSR Surf Resort, Parsons Barefoot Ski Ranch and BSR Cable Park.
