Marijuana Insurance Industry Growing Like Weeds

Next Wave Insurance launched what it calls a “seed to sale” cannabis coverage program before Lloyd’s of London entered and exited weed underwriting. The San Diego-based company offers policies for crops, indoor cultivation, retailers, laboratories and the company’s CEO Jeff Ward said it is the only insurer offering coverage for product recalls.
