How does cannabis insurance differ from other types of business insurance?
AlphaRoot Team
Cannabis insurance differs from other types of business insurance primarily due to the unique risks associated with the cannabis industry. Since cannabis is still considered illegal at the federal level in many countries, traditional insurance providers often won't cover cannabis-related risks. Therefore, specialized cannabis insurance policies are necessary to address the specific needs and risks of this industry.
