Because marijuana remains a controlled substance under federal law, most traditional insurance companies decline to write insurance policies for the commercial cannabis industry. But last week, the California Department of Insurance announced that it has approved a Lessor’s Risk policy for landlords renting to commercial cannabis tenants that will be issued by California Mutuals.

Pointing to research showing that psilocybin might be helpful for people suffering from depression or anxiety, activists in Oregon and Colorado are sponsoring ballot measures that would decriminalize possession of psilocybin mushrooms, whose active ingredient can cause hallucinations, euphoria and changes in perception.

Instead of increasing prosecutions on cannabis, the federal government may take a different direction.
