The public editorial layer
Colorado Medical Cannabis publishes patient guides, cannabis science and evidence, Colorado cannabis news, and reporting on how state rules affect consumers, especially medical patients.
The site's research system is separate from the public site. Only reviewed public articles and their reader-facing sources belong here. Unpublished notes, internal interviews, regulatory extraction workflows, and drafts are not part of the public agent corpus.
Terminology that changes the meaning
Lot: the specific packaged batch a flower review describes. In practice it is close to a single grow: plants raised and harvested together, and similar to each other if the grow went well. A review of one lot of a strain is not a statement about every lot sold under that name.
Estate: an operation that grows what it sells.
Carried brand: product sold by a retailer but grown by another operation.
These relationships remain visible because conflating them assigns cultivation responsibility to the wrong company.
Editorial and sponsorship boundary
Sponsorship may fund production and audience reach. It does not purchase a verdict, change a score, or erase a critical review. Any paid relationship relevant to a page will be disclosed on that page.
One bias we hold on purpose, and in public: we favor operations that open their doors and show real concern for medical patient needs. That favor is earned conduct by conduct: opening doors to patients, showing the work, treating patients as the point. It cannot be bought, and its absence is never a mark against anyone: plenty of good operators are simply private.
