On the heels of an Arizona Department of Health Services cannabis recall, Gary Smith co-wrote an article for Cannabis Business Times explaining why insurance coverage and product testing are imperative in protecting cannabis business owners from devastating loss.
The article, co-written by Gary’s fellow Arizona Cannabis Chamber of Commerce board member Danielle Hernandez, outlines the insurance needed to protect retailers from blowback following a bad batch of product, including an indemnification clause. Risks may be even greater for multistate operators, who could face penalties in more than one jurisdiction. The bottom line is to insure products and partners through honest and transparent product testing.
As a leading cannabis attorney in Arizona, Gary frequently shares insights for industry publications and organizations as well as Arizona media. He is the founder and current president of the Arizona Cannabis Bar Association, which is dedicated to educating lawyers and the public about responsible legislation.
