Editorial Policy

Our Commitment to Accuracy

Sativa University is committed to providing accurate, up-to-date, and unbiased cannabis information. Our content is created to inform and educate -- never to promote irresponsible use. We follow strict editorial standards across all content types on our platform.

Business Directory Data

Our directory of 63,406+ businesses is compiled from multiple verified data sources, including state licensing databases, public records, and business submissions. Each listing goes through:

• Deduplication and normalization against multiple sources
• Geocoding for accurate location data
• Business type classification (dispensary, doctor, delivery, smoke shop)
• Regular review cycles for accuracy

Business owners can claim their listing to verify and update their information directly.

Strain Information

Our strain profiles combine editorial research with community-contributed data:

• Baseline data -- Effects, terpenes, flavors, and THC content from established cannabis databases
• Community data -- User-submitted experiences weighted by volume (more reports = higher confidence)
• Content cleanup -- All strain descriptions are reviewed for accuracy and clarity

As more users log experiences, our strain data becomes increasingly accurate through our weighted blending algorithm.

Cannabis Laws

Our state cannabis law guides are researched from official state legislation, regulatory agency publications, and legal databases. Laws change frequently -- each guide includes a "Last updated" date. We recommend always checking your state's official resources before making legal decisions based on our content.

User-Generated Content

Reviews, Q&A posts, and experience logs are submitted by real users and subject to moderation. We do not edit user content for opinion, but we do enforce community guidelines:

• No spam, harassment, or promotional content
• No medical claims or dosage advice
• No personally identifiable information of others
• Content must be relevant to the page topic

Medical Disclaimer

Sativa University provides cannabis information for educational purposes only. Our content is not medical advice.
