Editorial Policy

Kif Medical Marijuana Doctors publishes guides on how medical marijuana programs work in each state: who qualifies, how to apply and renew, what a card allows and where the law draws limits. This page explains how those guides are written, sourced, updated and corrected.

Who writes our content

Every article shows the name of its author, and each author has a profile page with their articles. When a licensed physician has reviewed an article, that physician is named on the page as the reviewer. If no reviewer is named, the article has not had a clinical review.

How we source information

• We rely on primary sources first: the state agency that runs each medical marijuana program, the state statute and regulations, and federal law.
• For health information we use sources such as the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and the National Institutes of Health.
• Articles link to the official program page for the state they cover, so you can check the current rules yourself.

How we describe state rules

• Each state sets its own list of qualifying conditions, registration fee, age rules, caregiver rules and card validity period. We describe the rules of the state named in the article, not a national average.
• When a state changes its program, the official state page controls over our article.
• We do not describe cannabis as a cure. Evidence on benefits and risks differs by condition, and we say so.

Accuracy and updates

Each article shows the date it was published or last updated. Programs change often, so we revisit a guide when the rules it describes change.

Corrections

If you find an error, email contact@kifdoctors.com with the page address and the correction. We review reports, fix confirmed errors and update the date on the article.

Independence and our services

Kif Medical Marijuana Doctors offers paid telehealth evaluations, and our articles link to them. A physician certification is issued only when a licensed physician decides that you qualify under your state’s rules.
