Hoban Law Group attorney Steve Schain argues the industry
must prepare for a lawsuit “tidal wave.”
While no cases have been reported, he argues there’s potential exposure for products liability, medical malpractice and server (seller) liability tort claims.
Canadian MED company Tilray, owned by Seattle-based Privateer Holdings,
