Advertising & Sponsorship Policy

1Editorial and paid are separate

Paid content will always be clearly labeled as “Sponsored” or “Paid partnership”, visually distinct from editorial work, and identify who paid for it.

Advertising and sponsorship never buy coverage, positive reviews, inclusion in an issue or Field Note, rankings, “best of” placements, or approval of editorial content. Advertisers have no input into editorial decisions.

2What we won’t run

• Health, medical or therapeutic claims.
• Content aimed at people under 21, or that appeals to minors.
• Anything that isn’t lawful in the jurisdictions it targets.
• Paid content disguised as editorial.

Advertisers are responsible for making sure their material complies with the laws that apply to them, including state cannabis advertising and marketing rules.

3Affiliate links

If we ever use affiliate links, stories containing them will say so.
