Cannabis and the California Wildfires

It goes without saying that a good number of outdoor marijuana and hemp plants stand the risk of being destroyed by the wildfires. The toll that this damage invariably on cannabis businesses from the financial side of things is enormous. It is also bound to invariably affect and impede the supply chain of cannabis in the state in the future. This is because a good number of cannabis businesses are already recording great losses. One such business is the Sweet Creek Farm in Sonoma County which has recorded losses of about $150,000 in crops that are largely uninsured.
