Editorial Policy

Cannabis Insider exists to provide accurate, readable UK-focused coverage of cannabis news, policy, medical access, and related consumer information. This policy explains how we approach reporting, corrections, and editorial independence.

Our content falls into four main types:

• News — timely reporting on UK enforcement, courts, policy, industry, and international stories with UK relevance
• Guides — longer explainers on law, medical access, driving, CBD, and related topics
• Reviews — product assessments that may include affiliate links, clearly disclosed
• Legal & policy pages — terms, privacy, disclosures, and this policy

We do not publish instructions for illegal activity. Guides explain UK law and legitimate routes — such as medical prescribing — rather than encouraging unlawful possession or supply.

We prefer primary sources: police and court reporting, government publications, company announcements, academic papers, and reputable news outlets. Where we rely on another publication's reporting — for example court coverage we did not attend — we name and link that source clearly.

Articles include named author bylines. Publication dates are displayed on every article. When material facts change after publication, we update the article and note significant corrections where appropriate.

If you believe an article contains a factual error, please contact us with the article URL and the correction requested. We will review verified requests promptly and amend or clarify content as needed.

Opinion, analysis, and guide content may be updated to reflect changes in law or policy without a formal correction notice, but substantive factual errors will be corrected transparently.

Cannabis Insider may earn revenue through display advertising and affiliate commissions on product reviews. News and guide content is written independently of advertisers and affiliate partners.

We do not accept payment for favourable news coverage. Sponsored content, if ever introduced, would be clearly labelled as such and kept separate from editorial reporting.

See our Affiliate Disclosure for more detail.

Some guides and SEO-focused articles may be drafted with assistance from content tools before being edited and published through our CMS. All published material is reviewed for UK accuracy, legal context, and readability before it goes live. Automated content is not published without human editorial oversight.

Cannabis Insider does not currently host public comment sections. News tips and corrections can be submitted via our contact form.
