Editorial policy

How we source, review and correct

The standards behind every Bsmile Journal and Learning article.

Last updated November 3, 2026

What the Journal is

  • The Journal and Learning pages publish general educational content and company news for adults 21 and over.
  • It is not medical, health or legal advice. It gives no dosing guidance and makes no treatment, benefit or effect claims.
  • Cannabis is never sold, priced or shipped from this website. Adults are directed only to licensed New York dispensaries.

How articles are sourced

  • New York law, licensing, dispensary and home-cultivation statements cite the New York Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) or official New York regulation text.
  • General health and safety statements cite federal public-health sources such as the CDC and FDA, or Poison Help.
  • Bsmile product statements cite Bsmile's own product specifications and printed packaging, and are described as what the packaging states — not as independently tested results.
  • Brand, entity and licensing statements cite Bsmile's licensing page and New York State's official list of current OCM licenses. Licensing pages are never used to support product or performance claims.
  • A statement that cannot be supported by a listed source is left out. Each article lists its sources with the date they were last checked.

Who writes and reviews

  • Articles are written by the Bsmile Team.
  • Before publication, each article is checked internally by the Bsmile Team against its listed sources, including current OCM guidance.
  • This is Bsmile's own internal editorial review. It is not a third-party compliance audit, and unless an article explicitly says otherwise, no outside medical, legal, laboratory or government body has reviewed or approved it.
  • AI tools may help draft or edit text. AI never publishes, approves or makes a final decision — a person approves every published article.

Dates

  • "Published" is the date an article first went live. "Last reviewed" is the date it was last checked against its sources.
  • Dates change only when that event actually happens; they are never refreshed automatically. Small spelling or formatting fixes do not change the review date.
  • Rules change. Always confirm current requirements with OCM.

Corrections

  • To report an error, email Bsmile@bsmilecannabis.com with the article link and the issue.
  • Material corrections — facts, rules or product details — are made after checking, and the article's review date is updated.
  • Spelling and formatting fixes are made without a note. An article that can no longer be supported is unpublished.

Independence and commercial content

  • Accessory articles may link to the Bsmile accessories store (shop.bsmilecannabis.com), operated by Bsmilecannabis LLC for non-cannabis items only. These links are labelled as Bsmile's own store.
  • Cannabis articles never link to a store or checkout.
  • Bsmilecannabis LLC owns the Bsmile brand and publishes this website; it holds no New York cannabis license. Bau-AJ LLC d/b/a Bsmile Cannabis holds the New York Adult-Use Processor Type 3 — Branding license.
