Cannabis Law Editing and Proofreading Services

Cannabis is one of the most heavily regulated consumer products there is, and the rules differ by country, state, and province — sometimes by municipality. Nearly every word a licensed producer publishes is regulated: what a label may say, what a package may look like, what claims a website may make, and which of them a regulator will treat as appealing to young people. Editing here is compliance work with a marketing deadline attached.

The documents we edit for Cannabis Law

We edit license and renewal applications, standard operating procedures and quality assurance documentation, packaging and labeling copy, product monographs, marketing and promotional materials, website and e-commerce copy, supply and distribution agreements, security and recordkeeping plans, and recall and incident documentation. Our editors check promotional language against the promotion restrictions that apply in your jurisdiction, and flag health, therapeutic, or lifestyle claims that a regulator is likely to treat as prohibited.

What the editing involves

Labeling is unforgiving. Mandatory statements, symbol placement, THC and CBD content formatting, and warning text are prescribed in detail, and a non-compliant run is destroyed or relabeled at your cost.

Confidentiality and the limits of our role

Everything is confidential, including applications in progress. We do not provide regulatory advice — we make certain your text says what you meant and flag the phrases most likely to draw attention.
