Common Questions to Assess Rating Class
If you’re unsure which of the above health cllasses to quote yourself at (Standard, Mild Substandard, Medium Substandard or Severe Substandard), please see the questions below:
How many years have you been with a History of or Current Use of Marijuana?
A history or current use of Marijuana is very important to be disclosed as honestly as you can because it will help determine the extent of the adverse effects of the substance use. In cases of mild use, you have a good chance at a “Standard” or “Mild Substandard” rating. If, however, you do not disclose Marijuana usage and the laboratory results show it, you might be given the “Severe Substandard” rating or worst a decline.
Have you experienced any symptoms within the last six months?
Symptoms of mental confusion, memory loss or breathing difficulties may be flare signs of worsening side effects of long term Marijuana use and may get you a “Moderate Substandard” or “Severe Substandard” health class. Signs of schizophrenia, however, may get you an automatic decline.

How much Marijuana are you taking and what for?
If Marijuana use is therapeutic, meaning to aid in the symptoms of increasing intraocular pressure or for appetite boost, then you may qualify for a “Mild Substandard” or “Medium Substandard” rating. But, if you are taking recreational use of Marijuana, the amount you partake will help determine the appropriate rating for you.
If you are using Marijuana twice a month or a maximum of only once a week, you may qualify for the best rating at “Standard”.
Do you have other medical conditions?
If you have other medical conditions like mental or physical incapacity, whether it is a secondary complication of Marijuana use or not, you will have to undergo a more thorough medical evaluation to determine the most appropriate health class.
If you are still unsure which rating class you fall under, we suggest getting a life insurance quote at multiple substandard ratings, so you can familiarize yourself with the range of substandard premiums.
