Editorial Standards & Analyst Disclosures
Authorship, sources, independence, and how we handle errors — edited by Joseph Farruggia, Founder & CEO, Cannabis Investor News and CanIDeal.
Joseph Farruggia is the founder and CEO of Cannabis Investor News (CIN) and CanIDeal, a B2B e-commerce platform for the legal cannabis industry. A serial entrepreneur with three decades of experience spanning capital markets, technology, and entertainment, he has built and exited companies across multiple sectors.
Editorial responsibility for Cannabis Investor News rests with Joseph Farruggia, Founder and CEO, based in Marina del Rey, California.

Daily market briefs are produced by CIN Voice, our named AI editorial system, and reviewed by Joseph Farruggia before publication. Company-level data, filings, and pricing on terminal pages are sourced directly from primary regulators and exchanges (see Primary Sources below) and updated on published cadences. Every brief carries a byline; every terminal page carries a “Reviewed by” line and a last-updated date.

We aim for the highest reasonable accuracy on all data and analysis published on CIN. When an error is identified in a brief, terminal page, or analytical product, we correct it promptly and, where the change is material, disclose it in a corrections note on the corrected page.
To report a correction, email corrections@cannabisinvestornews.co with the URL, the specific claim, and a link to a primary source. We prioritize corrections on filings-derived data, pricing, and disclosures.
Pricing on terminal pages is delayed unless otherwise noted, and refreshed intraday. Fundamentals are refreshed on filing cadence. Briefs carry a published date and a “last updated” timestamp when they are revised.
CIN is editorially independent from the companies it covers. We do not accept payment, equity, options, or other consideration from covered companies, their officers, or their agents in exchange for coverage, favorable framing, or omission. We do not publish sponsored articles disguised as editorial.
Advertising, if displayed, is clearly labeled and does not influence editorial selection, framing, or ranking. Any material relationship between a CIN editorial contributor and a covered company is disclosed inline on the relevant page.
Cannabis Investor News is operated by CanIDeal, Inc. CanIDeal operates a B2B cannabis marketplace and does not trade cannabis equities. Joseph Farruggia does not hold positions in any of the 494 tickers covered on CIN.
Nothing on Cannabis Investor News constitutes investment advice, an offer to sell, a solicitation to buy, or a recommendation for any security, strategy, or transaction. All content is provided for informational and educational purposes only.
Cannabis remains federally illegal in the United States (Schedule I under the Controlled Substances Act) and is regulated differently in every jurisdiction we cover. Cannabis equities are volatile, thinly traded in some markets, and subject to regulatory, banking, and enforcement risks that differ materially from other sectors. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Consult a licensed financial advisor, tax professional, and securities attorney before making any investment decision. See our full Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
