The Purple Leaf publishes guides about cannabis products, formats and responsible use for adults 19 and older. This page explains how those articles are researched, checked and kept up to date.
Who writes our content
Articles are written and maintained by The Purple Leaf team, the same people who stock and ship the products on our menu. Some articles are drafted with the help of AI writing tools and are then checked against the sources described below before they are published or updated.
How we research
- Laws, age limits and possession limits: Health Canada, the federal Cannabis Act and provincial government websites.
- Effects, dosing and safer use: public-health sources such as Canada’s Lower-Risk Cannabis Use Guidelines (CRISM/CAMH) and the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction.
- Strain genetics and terpenes: cross-checked against established strain databases. Where sources disagree, we say so.
- Prices and product details: taken from our current product pages. Prices change, so the product page is always the final word.
Articles that rely on outside facts list them in a Sources section at the end.
No medical advice
Our content is general information, not medical advice. We don’t claim that any product treats, cures or prevents a health condition. If you have a health concern, or you take medication, talk to a doctor or pharmacist before using cannabis.
Reviews
Customer reviews shown on our site are written by real customers on our product pages. We don’t write, buy or edit reviews, and we don’t remove a review because it is negative.
Updates and corrections
We review our guides regularly and update them when laws, products or prices change. Articles show both the date they were first published and the date they were last updated. If you spot an error, please contact us or email se.payments@proton.me and we’ll correct it.
Responsible use
All content is intended for adults of legal age (19+ in Ontario). Start low, go slow, never drive impaired, and keep cannabis away from children and pets. Read more in our THC dosage guide and the Lower-Risk Cannabis Use Guidelines.
