5. User-Generated Content & Comments

To the extent the Site permits comments or user submissions, you are solely responsible for content you submit. Cannabis Inquirer does not review all user-submitted content prior to publication and, consistent with the protections afforded by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. § 230), is not the publisher or speaker of user-generated content. We reserve the right to remove any content that violates these Terms or that we find objectionable, at our sole discretion, without notice.

6. Cannabis Legal Disclaimer

Cannabis remains a controlled substance under federal law (Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, 21 U.S.C. § 812). Content on this Site is for informational and journalistic purposes only. Cannabis Inquirer does not provide legal, medical, or financial advice. Cannabis Inquirer does not encourage or facilitate any activity that violates applicable law. Readers are solely responsible for ensuring their compliance with applicable local, state, and federal laws.

State laws permitting medical and/or adult-use cannabis do not override federal law. The legal landscape governing cannabis changes frequently. Do not rely on information published on this Site as legal advice regarding your specific circumstances.

7. Editorial Independence

Cannabis Inquirer maintains strict editorial independence. Advertisers have no influence over editorial content. Sponsored content and paid placements are always clearly labeled as such and are never presented as independent editorial content. Our editorial staff makes all coverage decisions free from commercial pressure.

8. Advertising & Affiliate Relationships

Cannabis Inquirer may receive compensation from advertisers who purchase display advertising, sponsored content, or other promotional placements on the Site. We may also participate in affiliate programs under which we receive a commission when you click certain links and make a purchase. Such compensation does not influence our editorial coverage.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. CANNABIS INQUIRER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Except for claims for injunctive or other equitable relief, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court.
