State laws and insurance requirements for cannabis businesses

Each state has its own laws and regulations for cannabis businesses. Make sure to research your local laws and consult with a licensed insurance agent. Check the links referenced below for updates, as laws are constantly changing.

How do state laws affect my cannabis business?

Each state determines whether cannabis is legal and to what extent. States can issue licenses for cannabis businesses, mandate certain types of insurance or bonds, or set limits on how many cannabis businesses can operate.

Additionally, cities and counties can prohibit cannabis businesses even in states where they are legal, and may have their own laws and insurance requirements for the industry.

Beyond regulating specific industries like cannabis, each state has its own insurance and licensing requirements for businesses, and penalties if you fail to comply. Check your state's laws and requirements or view our recommended policies for cannabis businesses.

How do I get insurance for my cannabis business?

Commercial insurance helps cannabis businesses comply with state laws and recover financially from fires, lawsuits, and costly accidents. Consult our licensed cannabis insurance specialist to get quotes for your business today.
