DISPENSARY INSURANCE
If something were to happen to your business or your medicine such as a fire or theft, would you be ready to pick things back up and get your business started again without monetary stress? We always get the same answer: “No.”
Dispensary insurance is designed to protect your product, liability and loss of income in the event of a loss. Your business is worth a lot to you and protecting it with liability insurance is extremely important. If a customer is to sue you for negligence you would need to defend your company and any potential settlements.
Your property and inventory may also be at risk for theft, fire, vandalism, Explosion, Hail, Water or any catastrophic loss. Protecting your Dispensary with insurance may be the only answer to sustaining a claim situation

PRODUCT LIABILITY
Having marijuana product liability insurance included within your marijuana business insurance program will protect your business from claims when your customers hold you liable for bodily injury or property damage that takes place from consumption of marijuana flowers, edibles, and concentrates.
WORKERS COMPENSATION
Workers' compensation insurance protects employees and employers from liabilities associated with workplace injury and death. Workers Comp is required by law in many states, to be carried by employers, which provides compensation to those employees who have been injured at work or who have contracted an occupational disease. Workers compensation is available for all cannabis class codes and is available in all legal cannabis states.
We’ll help you understand the applicable regulations and identify coverage options that reduce liability risks to your organization. You can meet your compliance requirements, lower your costs and still protect your employees the way they deserve.
CROP COVERAGE
We are able to provide your cultivation facility with coverage for your plants in multiple stages of growth, from seed to sale.
These three stages are:
Living Plant Material: Seeds, marijuana plants in the stage of vegetative growth, immature marijuana seedlings, and flowering mature plants in the growing medium.
Harvested Plant Material: Mature marijuana plant material that is not situated inside the growing medium, but is in the drying and curing process.
Finished Stock: Mature marijuana plant material no longer in the growing medium, which has been completely processed and is ready for sale.
GENERAL LIABILITY
Basic Coverage General liability insurance is coverage that can protect you from a variety of claims including bodily injury, property damage, personal injury and other situations that may arise including slander, libel, copyright infringement and more.
DELIVERY SERVICE AND TRANSPORTATION INSURANCE
Delivery-only dispensaries are becoming increasingly popular within the cannabis industry but there are some common misconceptions about coverage. If you put employees on the road a car accident is probably your biggest fear. Personal Auto insurance will not provide coverage in the event of an accident, robbery, or other mishap. Specialized business auto insurance is what is needed in order to ensure that your driver, product and vehicle are protected.
