420 Life Reports Occasional Pot Smokers Can Now Get Life Insurance

Fort Collins, CO (PRWEB) March 07, 2013

Millions of pot smokers, once considered not insurable, can now get affordable life insurance coverage. 420LifeInsurance.com, through partnerships with select life insurance companies, has been able to help those who have been continually discriminated against for using marijuana.

According to insurance advisor Tim Holt, "The typical marijuana user is a middle class guy with kids and a wife. And many of them have gone for years without being able to obtain life insurance. I'm glad we're now able to help them out.”

The social stigma surrounding smoking marijuana is lessoning now that Colorado and Washington legalized marijuana. Some insurers no longer consider occasional marijuana use to be a risk factor that should prevent coverage. Some will even rate a marijuana user as a non-smoker reducing their premium significantly. Individuals should note that marijuana users never qualify for the very lowest rates. Less than 5% of non-users actually qualify at this level. An occasional marijuana user may qualify at the next lowest level, assuming they do not use tobacco and are in excellent health. Individuals can contact 420 Life today to see if they, like other users, can find life insurance.
