Corrections Policy
Why this page exists
A publication that never admits error is not accurate, only quiet about it. CBD STRAINS ONLY publishes detailed factual claims every week: cannabinoid percentages, strain lineages, study findings, product ingredients, legal status notes. Some of those claims will occasionally be wrong, because sources conflict, labs disagree, laws change, and people make mistakes. This page describes exactly what we do when that happens, so you can hold us to it.
What counts as what
Corrections
A correction fixes a factual error: a wrong THC or CBD figure, a misattributed lineage, a misstated study result, a product ingredient we got wrong, a misidentified breeder. Corrections are made in the article body, and a labeled correction note is added to the article stating what was wrong and what it has been changed to, with the date. We do not silently swap a wrong number for a right one and pretend the error never existed.
Updates
An update reflects the world changing after publication rather than an error at publication: a jurisdiction changes its cannabis law, a product is reformulated, new research supersedes older findings. Updates are labeled with the date, and significant ones explain what changed. Our strain profiles and legal status references are living documents, and dating our revisions is how we keep that honest.
Clarifications
A clarification addresses wording that was technically accurate but liable to mislead: an effects description that read as universal when it described typical reports, a percentage that needed its batch context. These get a labeled clarification note when the ambiguity was material.
Style fixes
Typos, grammar, and formatting repairs that change no meaning are fixed without annotation.
Proportion and placement
The visibility of a correction matches the weight of the error. A wrong terpene name gets a note at the foot of the article. An error that undermined an article’s central claim, such as a review conclusion built on a misread lab report, is flagged at the top of the article before the reader reaches the affected content. If an article’s core premise turns out to be unsalvageable, we say so prominently rather than deleting the page and hoping nobody kept a link; removal is a last resort reserved for content whose continued availability would itself cause harm, and even then a note explains the removal.
Special handling for our subject
Two categories get expedited treatment because the cost of error is higher. First, safety relevant claims: anything touching drug interactions, dosing context, or health research is corrected as an immediate priority once an error is substantiated, per our Fact-Checking Policy. Second, legal status statements: if we learn that a statement about where something is lawful is wrong or has lapsed out of date, it is corrected or updated urgently, because readers may act on it. See our Disclaimer on why legal status verification ultimately rests with the reader.
How to report an error
Email support@cbdstrainsonly.com with the subject line Correction. Include the article URL, the specific claim you are disputing, and your evidence: a certificate of analysis, a breeder’s published record, the primary study, an official legal source. We evaluate the evidence, not the sender; a brand pointing out a genuine error in a review of its own product gets the same correction as anyone else, and no more. Substantiated reports are acknowledged within two working days and acted on as soon as verification completes. Reports that amount to disagreement with a review conclusion rather than a factual error are read, and answered where a response is useful, but opinions supported by accurate facts are not corrected, because they are not errors.
Accountability
Corrections are reviewed by a team member who did not write the original article. We track our corrections internally and review patterns: an error that recurs is a process problem, and the fix belongs in our checking process, not just in the article. That process is described in our Editorial Standards.
