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.
