Who writes the guides on this site, how each article is reviewed against New York OCM rules, where our facts come from, and how to tell us when something needs correcting.
Last updated: September 5, 2026
Every guide, product explainer and local page on this site is written and maintained by the Cannabis Realm NY editorial team — staff of a New York State-licensed adult-use dispensary group, working with the budtenders who serve customers in our Rockland, White Plains and Queens stores every day. We publish under a team byline rather than individual names so that the standard behind every article is the same, whoever drafted it.
Before publication, each article is checked by a second team member for factual accuracy, clarity and compliance with New York Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) rules on marketing and health claims. Product-specific information — potency ranges, formats, effects as described by producers — is checked against the current lab-tested menu for the store concerned. Articles that describe dosing, onset or interactions are written conservatively and always point readers to a healthcare professional for personal medical questions.
We draw on primary sources wherever possible: New York State cannabis law and OCM regulations and guidance; certificates of analysis from licensed New York testing laboratories; producer and brand documentation; and peer-reviewed research or public-health guidance when an article discusses effects, safety or interactions. We do not cite statistics we cannot trace to a source, and we do not quote studies second-hand from other retailers or marketing material.
We do not make medical or therapeutic claims about cannabis products, promise specific effects, target or depict anyone under 21, or describe consumption in ways that encourage overuse. We do not publish paid placements disguised as editorial content. Where an article features products we sell, that is stated plainly — we are a dispensary, and our guides exist to help our customers choose well.
Each article shows its original publication date and its most recent update. We revisit guides when regulations, product availability or our store services change, and at least annually. If you find an error, tell us through our Contact page or at any of our dispensary locations; corrections that change the substance of an article are noted in the article itself.
