JB WOODS



Established in 2009, Greenpoint Insurance Advisors, LLC has insured hundreds of cannabis and non-cannabis ancillary businesses in state regulated markets throughout the United States. Our insurance agency, acting as marijuana insurance brokers is privately held and family operated husband and wife team whose company has no affiliations or ownership positions with other marijuana related companies. This is important for our clients who rely upon a confidential relationship and knowing their information will not be compromised and shared with industry insiders or outsiders.

Our marijuana insurance agency started from humble beginnings in Colorado, prior to House Bill 1284 becoming law, when President and Founder J.B. Woods realized medical marijuana businesses were having difficulty securing insurance. In fact, our first client was a marijuana grower who leased commercial space and required compliant marijuana insurance to meet contractual obligations. After being turned away by numerous insurance brokers or standard insurance companies, obtaining legitimate medical marijuana insurance was the key to becoming "legitimate" for the cannabis industry.

Woods discovered a small number of Surplus Lines Brokers or Excess & Surplus Lines ("E&S) underwriting medical marijuana insurance in California. Consequently, a business was discovered as medical marijuana companies demanded insurance to lease commercial space, protect assets, indemnification, and as a matter of public policy concerns. JB Woods has been requested as an expert witness for litigation involving contractual and insurance procurement disputes particular to the cannabis industry.
