A federal judge in Delaware on Monday tossed a lawsuit filed by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee against social media giant Meta claiming that the platform unfairly profited from false advertisements for CBD products.

Huckabee, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to be U.S. ambassador to Israel, sued Meta in July over a series of ads for CBD gummies. CBD gummies are edible candies that contain cannabidiol, or CBD — one of the main active ingredients in marijuana. CBD alone does not produce a high.
