How to Read a New York Cannabis Label

Labels are only meaningful when the product came from a licensed New York dispensary, because licensed products are lab-tested and labelled to state requirements.

Bsmile Cannabis products are made through authorized relationships with appropriately licensed New York cannabis processors and reach you through licensed dispensaries. Cannabis is not sold on this website.

THC and CBD are reported as percentages for flower and pre-rolls, and in milligrams per serving or per package for edibles. These figures reflect what a licensed laboratory measured for that batch at the time of testing.

A higher THC percentage is not a quality score. Cure, aroma and the wider chemical profile shape the character of a product far more than a single number.

Batch or lot identifiers let a product be traced back to its production run. Package size, packaging date and the licensed entity responsible for the product appear alongside them.

Where a terpene listing is provided, it is usually the most practical guide to how a cultivar will smell.

New York labels carry the state's required adult-use warnings, including that the product is for adults 21 and over and should be kept away from children and pets.
