Here at Cover Cannabis we are asked 100s of questions every month about how to properly insure a cannabis operation. Here is a question we received recently:
Pat (Business Owner): I have an indoor cannabis growing facility, as we are starting to increase production, we are shipping and transporting more and more product. We have had a couple of small issues with theft and damaged product. Do you guys have any advice on how to ensure I am covered in the event that something happens to my product before reaching its final destination?
Theresa: Thank you for your question Pat. The transportation of marijuana is a necessary part of the cannabis industry. Whether you are shipping to a dispensary, to an extraction company, or any other destination, your product is at its highest risk for losses while being moved and transported. Despite the risk, you need to ensure that the product reaches its intended destination.
Here are some of the coverages we recommend to ensure you are protected while transporting cannabis:
The type of coverage that will work best for you will depend on your specific business and how involved you are in the transportation of your cannabis product.
