CBD Legality accepts well-researched contributions from writers with demonstrated knowledge of cannabis law, hemp regulation, or public policy. This page explains who we work with, what we publish, and how to submit a proposal.
Our site exists to document where CBD is legal, restricted, or prohibited, and why those rules exist. Any contribution must support that purpose with accuracy and restraint.
What We Publish
We publish original, non-promotional articles focused on the legal status of CBD. Suitable topics include:
-
CBD legality by country or region
-
CBD laws by U.S. state, including recent changes
-
THC thresholds and regulatory definitions
-
Medical versus consumer CBD frameworks
-
Enforcement trends, court rulings, or agency guidance
-
Cross-border travel and import restrictions related to CBD
Articles must be grounded in verifiable legal or regulatory sources. Opinion pieces, lifestyle content, and product-related articles are not accepted.
Editorial Standards
All submissions are reviewed for legal accuracy, clarity, and source quality. We maintain a conservative editorial stance where laws are unclear or evolving.
Submissions must meet the following standards:
-
Original content not published elsewhere
-
Clear focus on law, regulation, or policy
-
Neutral, factual tone without advocacy
-
No affiliate links, brand mentions, or product promotion
-
Citations from official laws, government agencies, or reputable legal and policy publications
We reserve the right to edit content for clarity, structure, and consistency with site standards.
Author Qualifications
We prioritize contributors with relevant background or experience, such as:
-
Legal researchers or law students
-
Policy analysts or academics
-
Journalists covering cannabis regulation
-
Compliance professionals or consultants
-
Experienced writers with a strong research portfolio
You do not need to be a lawyer, but you must demonstrate subject knowledge and source literacy.
Article Length and Structure
Most accepted articles range between 1,200 and 2,000 words, depending on topic scope. Content should be structured with clear headings, short paragraphs, and precise definitions.
Where appropriate, include:
-
Jurisdiction-specific summaries
-
Tables or bullet lists for legal thresholds
-
Update notes when laws have recently changed
Attribution and Author Bio
Approved contributors receive a byline and a short author bio. Bios should focus on credentials and relevant experience, not promotion.
Links to personal websites or professional profiles may be included at our discretion.
