Independence and funding

How CBD Love is funded, what commercial relationships we have, and the rules that keep money away from our evidence grades.

Where things stand today

As of November 2026, CBD Love:

  • carries no advertising
  • has no affiliate links and earns no commissions
  • has no sponsors and receives no payments from anyone
  • has no commercial relationship with any clinic, pharmacy, prescriber, manufacturer or product brand
  • does not link to businesses that supply CBD or medicinal cannabis.

The services the site relies on (web hosting, and the AI tools described in our editorial policy) are ordinary paid or free services and have no say in what we publish.

If that changes

Running a site costs money, and in future we may carry advertising or other commercial arrangements. If we do, these rules apply:

  1. This page is updated first. Any commercial relationship is listed here before it appears on the site.
  2. Paid material is labelled. Advertising and any link we earn money from is clearly marked where it appears.
  3. Money does not touch the evidence. No advertiser, sponsor or partner can change an evidence grade, a safety warning or what we say about the law.
  4. We follow Australian advertising law. Prescription medicines, including CBD medicines, cannot lawfully be advertised to the public in Australia. We do not promote them.

Why this matters

In Australia, much of the information about CBD is published by businesses that earn money when a reader becomes a patient. That does not make it wrong, but it shapes what gets said and what gets left out. This site exists to be the alternative.

This page is general information, not medical or legal advice. Laws and evidence change; we show the date we last checked the facts at the top of every page. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting, stopping or changing any medicine.
