Editorial Team
The Green Dispensary editorial team brings together Green's marketing and management staff — the people who stock the shelves, train the budtenders, and field customer questions every day across our Las Vegas and Henderson dispensaries. We write the guides we wish we'd had when we started in Nevada cannabis.
Editorial standards
- Accuracy reviewed by
- Green's retail leadership
- Review cadence
- Reviewed before publication, and updated when Nevada regulations, product availability, or guidance change.
How we research
We build our guides from the ground up: Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board regulations, certificates of analysis from our licensed suppliers, product specifications from the brands we stock, published research, and — the part you can't get from a search engine — what our staff learns answering thousands of customer questions on the floor. When the science is unsettled, we say so rather than pretending otherwise.
How we review
Before publication, articles are read by our team for accuracy. We make reasonable efforts to ensure information is correct and reflects current research and Nevada regulations at the time of writing. Cannabis research and state rules change; where an article falls out of date, we update it.
Corrections
If you find an error in our content, email [email protected]. We correct factual errors and update articles when regulations or product information change.
