UKIAH, Calif. (AP) — A growing
number of medical marijuana users
whose backyard pot plants were stolen by
thieves or commandeered by police have
succeeded in getting insurance compa
nies to reimburse them for the loss.
The dollar amounts are not huge: The
pot is supposed to keep one person
healthy — not sold on the street, where
high-grade marijuana is more expensive
than gold. However, one insurer paid
$12,375 to a man who lost three pounds
of pot to an armed intruder.
But just as medical marijuana was be
ginning to gain acceptance as an insurable
good, a recent ruling by the Supreme
Court in an Oakland, Calif, case has cast
doubt on die future of such payments.
The court ruled in May that clubs dis
pensing medical marijuana according to
state laws could not use a “medical neces
sity” defense against federal anti-drug laws,
which do not allow lor medical marijuana.
The court did not resolve the question
of whether individual Americans have a
right to marijuana as a pain remedy.
Even so, State Farm will deny future
claims for medical marijuana, and the
other insurers will give them renewed
scrutiny, said Lonny Haskins, a State
Farm spokesman.
“It’s clearly stated in the homeowners’
policy that we will not pay for illegal ac
tivities,” Haskins said.
In September 1999, Robert DeArk-
land of Fair Oaks became the first person
known to be reimbursed for marijuana
through household insurance. I le re
ceived $6,500 from CGU California In
surance for 13 marijuana plants seized
from his garage by sheriffs’ deputies.
Insurers generally agree that marijua
na becomes a homeowner’s
property understate lawwhentlitW
cyholder has permission to grow
sess it lor medical reasons. That is
ble in the eight states with
allowing medical marijuana —
nia, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado,
Maine, Oregon and Washington,
Even though these laws are in
with federal law barring use or
ot marijuana, major insurancecoi
have made at least a dozen sucli
bursements, according to a sene: - .
