No Insurance for Pot Plants Stolen in Washington
A Clarkston, Wash., woman whose medical marijuana was stolen can’t recover the loss under her renter’s insurance policy because no legal value for the drug can be established.
The Lewiston Tribune reports a judge in Dayton dismissed claims Tuesday against the insurance company that were brought by Thomas and Deborah McDonald. She has a Washington medical marijuana card for treatment of her brain cancer.
Court documents say the claim was rejected because there’s no fair market value for an illegal drug.
