Cannabis Education & Consumer Guides
This is the education library — 100 articles covering the highest-volume consumer cannabis queries, organized into 12 thematic categories and prioritized for reader utility. From Cannabis 101 and THC-vs-CBD through dosing and safety, cannabinoids and terpenes, legal and regulatory basics, dispensary shopping, medical use cases, home growing, and the industry trends worth tracking. Every article is carefully hedged — no medical claims, 21+ framing throughout, always pointing readers toward licensed retailers and their own doctors. This section runs independently of the Catskills regional lifestyle content; it's the reference shelf a reader can land on from a Google search, and the place we cross-link from the mountain-adventure and wellness-retreat pieces when the reader needs to go deeper on a category.
