Editorial policy
How The Weed Journal edits cannabis education.
Our job is to make cannabis topics easier to understand without turning uncertain evidence, marketing language, or personal anecdotes into false certainty.
Last updated: June 6, 2026.
How we choose topics
We prioritize practical reader questions: product types, labels, dosing, storage, legal access, safer-use habits, and the difference between marketing claims and evidence. One page should answer one clear search intent.
Sources and evidence
For health, safety, legal, and product-label topics, we prefer primary or official sources such as Health Canada, Canada.ca, provincial cannabis regulators, peer-reviewed research, and manufacturer documentation where relevant.
Cannabis health claims
We do not diagnose conditions, prescribe cannabis, or claim cannabis treats, cures, or prevents disease. We avoid presenting early evidence, anecdotes, or marketing language as settled fact.
AI assistance
AI tools may assist with drafting, outlining, editing, or research organization. Human editorial review is required before publication, especially for claims, links, sources, and safety language.
Corrections
If a reader flags an error, we review the page, sources, and context. Corrections should be made clearly and promptly when a factual issue is confirmed.
Links and commercial context
Links should help readers understand a topic. They should not turn an article into a link farm or make a claim look stronger than it is.
