As one of the premier underwriters of cannabis-related liability insurance, Admiral Insurance aims to help wholesale and retail insurance brokers, as well as current and potential business owners in the cannabis industry understand those risks so they can provide or obtain coverage that makes sense.

In this webinar, our cannabis industry experts from across the country start with a broad overview of the cannabis industry today, covering topics such as:

  • The difference between CBD and THC, and their uses
  • The current federal position on cannabis, and why it’s important
  • Different types of entities in the cannabis chain, including growers, processors and retailers
  • Related businesses such as testing labs, marketers and related product manufacturers
  • Seed to sale: vertical integration in the cannabis space

After discussing the current state of the industry and its future, we move on to some of the risk exposures in the cannabis industry, including:

  • The different risks in different types of cannabis processing
  • Vaporizers and vape exposure
  • Health hazard exclusionary language
  • On-site consumption in dispensaries
  • Standard claims that are not cannabis-specific but may be impacted by cannabis
  • Interstate commerce and multi-state operations
