Marijuana and Life Insurance – What You Need To Know Before You Apply

YES! YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN GET LIFE INSURANCE IF YOU USE MARIJUANA —WHETHER IT’S MEDICAL OR RECREATIONAL—  GET THE FACTS – WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU APPLY!

The Way Life Insurance Companies View, Assess, and Rate Marijuana Usage Is Changing…

Contrary to popular belief, marijuana use does NOT automatically disqualify you from getting life insurance. While marijuana use DOES have an impact on the cost of your policy, that does not mean you should forego coverage.

Not all insurers are the same. Each life insurance company has their own guidelines and —as more and more life insurers ‘take a fresh look’ at how they underwrite marijuana usage— those guidelines are constantly changing.

There are life insurance companies known to be ‘marijuana friendly’— more progressive or, at least, more lenient. In fact, some are even willing to offer their best prices to marijuana users. But there are some very important things you need to know, first— common mistakes to avoid.


FACTORS THAT WILL IMPACT THE COST OF YOUR LIFE INSURANCE AS A MARIJUANA USER:

  • Frequency of Use
  • Means of Ingestion (smoke, liquid, edibles, pills, etc.)
  • Recreational vs. Medical
  • If Medical – the Condition Marijuana is Prescribed to Treat
  • High-Risk Habits and Lifestyle Choices

Have you ever been approved for Life Insurance in the wrong Health Class… due to ‘medications and/or certain habits’?
