In the stream of commerce that is the marijuana industry, insurers face a unique set of exposures, including loss of crops due to pesticides, mold and other hazardous toxins that can destroy the cannabis plant. “Investing time and money into a crop and then having it go to waste is becoming more of an issue for growers trying to stay
There are some 105 financial institutions in the US providing banking services to marijuana dispensaries and other pot businesses, according to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network also known as FINCEN.
