Methodology

Sourcing

Each page is built against primary sources: peer-reviewed literature, FDA labels and guidance documents, DEA scheduling notices, and the named statements of credentialed commentators. Citations are tracked through to the published reference list at the bottom of every page; we do not rely on self-published commercial copy as a primary source.

Verification

Every published page carries a verification date and a status badge. "Editorially verified" means the page has been fact-checked against primary sources by the editorial team.

Updates

Pages are reviewed for currency on a regular cadence and whenever regulatory action, withdrawn studies, or major new evidence warrant revisiting. The verification date on each page reflects the most recent editorial review.

What we cite

Peer-reviewed primary literature, regulatory documents, and named statements from credentialed sources. Where we quote public commentary, we link to the original and date the statement.
