How we write
Our principles
Research-first
Content about ethnobotanicals, cannabis, psychedelics and related substances deserves rigour. We write for readers who want accurate, substantive information to make their own decisions. We don't publish promotional content disguised as education, oversimplified safety claims, or sensationalism.
Named authors
No anonymous bylines. Every wiki and blog article is authored by a named category specialist with direct retail or subject-matter experience.
External review
Primary sources: peer-reviewed scientific journals, clinical research, established pharmacology literature. Secondary sources: regulatory bodies, systematic reviews, established ethnobotanical references. We do not cite forums, vendor blogs, affiliate review sites, or unverified claims.
Citation discipline
Primary sources: peer-reviewed scientific journals, clinical research, established pharmacology literature. Secondary sources: regulatory bodies, systematic reviews, established ethnobotanical references. We do not cite forums, vendor blogs, affiliate review sites, or unverified claims.
AI-assisted, human-owned
We use AI-assisted research and drafting tools. Every article is reviewed, edited and fact-checked by named human reviewers before publication. See our AI use policy for the full process.
Independence
Azarius is a retailer with commercial interests. Editorial content is kept independent of commercial considerations. Product mentions in wiki content are informational, not promotional.
Governance & review cadence
YMYL review
Health, legality and safety claims are reviewed by Adam Parsons before publication. Nothing goes live without sign-off when claims could affect wellbeing or compliance.
Update cadence
Every wiki article carries a 'Last reviewed' date. Articles are re-checked at least every 12 months, or immediately when regulation, science or product availability changes materially.
