# About this site

## The public editorial layer

Colorado Medical Cannabis will publish lot-level reviews, 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 Unpublished notes, internal interviews, regulatory extraction workflows, and drafts are not part of the public agent corpus.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 material a review describes. A lot review is not a transferable statement about a strain name or brand.

**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.

## Events and meetings

Online conversations and in-person meetings are planned for patients, caregivers, and people considering cannabis for a medical condition. Dates and locations will be published only after they are confirmed.
