How we work

Editorial Standards

Evidence before hype: the sourcing, review, correction, and disclosure rules behind CannaWize journalism.

CannaWize exists to make cannabis easier to understand without flattening uncertainty. The publication covers policy, research, patient access, product quality, cannabinoids, local rules, and common myths for an adult audience.

Primary Sources Come First

For law and policy, we prioritize statutes, regulations, court orders, agency guidance, official meeting records, and signed documents. A bill is identified as a bill until it becomes law. Proposed and final rules are not treated as interchangeable.

For research, we link to peer-reviewed studies, systematic reviews, clinical guidance, and public-health agencies. Articles identify important limits such as sample size, study design, dose, formulation, comparison group, and duration. A cell study, animal study, observational association, and randomized trial support different kinds of conclusions.

Health Coverage Has Boundaries

CannaWize does not diagnose, prescribe, or promise that cannabis treats a condition. Medical pages explain program access and published evidence while directing individualized questions to qualified clinicians. Risks, interactions, impairment, and evidence gaps belong in the story, not in fine print.

Policy Coverage Is Dated and Jurisdiction-Specific

Cannabis rules change quickly. Policy articles should identify the jurisdiction, current status, effective date when known, and source used. Federal, state, tribal, and local rules are separated. A state permission is never presented as a universal federal right.

Reviews Separate Observation from Fact

A review should identify the product or batch when that information is available, explain the criteria used, and distinguish measured label information from the reviewer’s impressions. Individual effects are not universal. Free products, affiliate links, sponsorships, and other material relationships are disclosed.

Corrections

Factual corrections are made promptly after verification. A material update should change the page’s updated date and, when helpful, include a correction note explaining what changed. Spelling, formatting, and link repairs that do not alter meaning may be fixed without a formal note.

Attribution and Quotations

Outside reporting is credited and linked. Direct quotations remain limited and contextual. CannaWize does not copy another publication’s structure or language merely because it covers the same subject. Images must have a lawful source and an accurate or deliberately empty alternative description.

Automation and Editorial Responsibility

CannaWize uses software tools for production, accessibility checks, search organization, and quality control. Blair H. is responsible for source selection, editorial decisions, revisions, and publication. No article should be published solely because an automated tool produced text.

Commercial Separation

Revenue relationships do not determine a story’s conclusion. Sponsored material is labeled, affiliate relationships are disclosed, and companies cannot purchase the removal of a supported criticism. Full commercial standards appear on the disclosure page.

Reader Participation

Readers may submit a correction with the page URL, disputed statement, and supporting source. CannaWize reviews evidence, not pressure. A correction request, source tip, accessibility problem, or disclosure question can be sent through the contact page.
