These coverage’s are not part of the standard medical marijuana policy but they are part of almost any American Marijuana Dispensary business owner’s policies.

Business Income is the net income (net profit or loss before income taxes) that would have been earned and the continuing normal operating expenses incurred, including payroll. Extra Expense means the cost associated with efforts to operate a business that is damaged by a peril such as fire. The policy would provide funds to the business owners that are over and above the normal expenses required to operate the business such as the cost to move to a new locations after a fire or the cost to locate stock.

Product Liability Insurance provides coverage for manufactures of smoking/vaporizing apparatuses, edible medical marijuana products and cannabis dispensaries. This valuable, but often overlooked, coverage will protect the policy holder from lawsuits arising from marijuana patients who have experienced unintended side effects.
