How GasDank guides are written
- Guides open with a short, direct answer, then explain the details.
- Updated guides check facts about cannabis science, law and safety against named sources and link those sources in the text.
- In updated guides, prices, products and delivery terms match the GasDank menu on the updated date shown at the top.
- Nothing on this blog is medical advice. Speak to a doctor or pharmacist about using cannabis for a health condition.
Older guides are being reviewed and rewritten to this standard. The date at the top of each guide shows when it was last updated.
