What is a Cannabis Bond in OKC

More and more states are turning to cannabis bonds in order to help provide funds for any cleanup that comes from the commercial growing of marijuana for medicinal purposes. Growers that abandon their property or that are shut down could see their bond money used to restore the area from any issues found from the growing of cannabis on the property.

The state requires that a commercial grower have at least $50,000 of coverage in a cannabis bond when they submit the application to have a license to grow commercially. And finding an insurance company that will issue such a bond can be challenging. Because we are an independent insurance agency, we will shop the market for you to find an insurance company that will issue you a grow bond for your property.

Grow Bonds in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

While illegal marijuana growing operations can really wreak havoc on the environment, even legal growing operations can have their own issues. Marijuana is a thirsty plant that needs a lot of water to grow properly, so water resources need to be handled very closely. The plants also emit volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, and these are released into the atmosphere. VOCs can cause health issues for many people in Oklahoma City, OK and beyond.
