Is cannabis insurance more expensive than other industries?+
Rates have decreased as the industry matures, but cannabis still carries higher premiums due to regulatory complexity and product liability exposure. Proper risk management can help reduce costs.
What product liability exposure exists for retailers?+
Even retailers face product liability claims if products cause harm. While manufacturers carry primary liability, retailers can be included in lawsuits.
