Important Things To Remember

Marijuana growers insurance is not something you will be able to find just anywhere. Marijuana plant insurance coverage is a specialized form of insurance, and you will need to make sure that the policies you consider will adequately cover your needs. In addition, you need to get the price in writing to ensure that you are fully aware of all the ins and outs of marijuana crop insurance.

Due to the nature of this business, security features such as alarms and video security systems are required, and it is critically important that these security precautions be maintained at all times.

All of these details can be handled for you by Cannasure, as we understand that business is complicated enough already without having to worry about the legal implications of your insurance.

What Are The Requirements for Marijuana Growers Insurance?

There are several underwriting requirements that you must pass before a policy will be issued. These are the three basic components:

• First, your facility must be inspected by a licensed electrical contractor who will confirm the electrical architecture is adequate for your operations; including the power supply and number of circuits. The contractor must prepare a letter of approval that is required at the time of binding/ordering the insurance policy. This is non-negotiable and the electrical system needs to be maintained in order to ensure insurance compliance.

• Second, you must have a security system installed and in operation, including a burglar alarm that reports to an outside monitoring station. As with the above, this system needs to be maintained and in proper working order at all times to ensure insurance compliance.

• Third, if you are requesting coverage for finished stock, you must have a TL-15 or ½ ton safe bolted to the floor (if less than 900 lbs) and motion detectors must be installed in the safe room location. Please note that if you are not requesting coverage for finished stock, there is no safe requirement.
