Editorial Policy
Last Updated: August 8, 2026
At CakeHeights, our mission is to empower cannabis consumers with trustworthy, research-backed information. This Editorial Policy outlines the standards and practices that guide our content creation.
The CakeHeights Editorial Team
All content on CakeHeights is researched, written, and reviewed by the CakeHeights Editorial Team — a dedicated group of cannabis researchers, wellness journalists, and industry analysts committed to accuracy, objectivity, clarity, and responsibility.
Content Standards
Research & Sources
We rely on credible, up-to-date sources including peer-reviewed studies, government agencies (such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Institute on Drug Abuse), academic institutions, and legal experts. We cite authoritative sources directly within our articles so readers can verify the evidence behind health, safety, dosage, and legal claims. Where scientific evidence is limited or mixed, we say so explicitly and avoid overstating what research supports.
Distinguishing Fact, Research, and Opinion
Our writers distinguish between established scientific consensus, emerging or preliminary research, and editorial opinion. Health and safety statements are supported by citations to primary or secondary scientific sources. Statements about products are clearly framed as reviews or editorial assessments. Statements of legal status reflect the applicable statutes and regulations as of the article’s review date, and we note when laws are changing or ambiguous.
Fact-Checking Process
Every article goes through research, writing, review, and update phases. Health, safety, and dosage claims are checked against the cited sources before publication. Content is reviewed quarterly and updated to reflect new research and regulatory changes.
Corrections Policy
If you identify an error, please contact us at editorial@cakeheights.com. We investigate within 48 hours, make corrections promptly, and add a correction notice to the article. Where a substantive correction changes the meaning of a health or safety claim, we also update the relevant citations and note the correction date.
Product Reviews Policy
Products are evaluated based on predetermined criteria including quality, value, brand reputation, and customer feedback. Reviews are independent of affiliate relationships. We do not accept payment for positive reviews. Product claims are clearly separated from health claims, and no product review is presented as medical advice.
