Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Cannabis consumers can protect themselves from unreliable police methods to determine impairment with new insurance coverage that provides financial and legal protection for those charged with driving under the influence of marijuana. The new insurance product from Salt Lake City-based Reepher launched this week in Missouri, with a nationwide rollout ultimately expected.
