Why does the THC and/or CBD amount on my product label differ from the range displayed on cannabis-nb.com?

As a natural product, THC and CBD content in cannabis may vary among lots of the same strain. THC and CBD ranges shown on cannabis-nb.com are provided by federally licensed cannabis producers.  Cannabis NB works directly with the licensed producers to continuously update the THC and CBD ranges listed on our website, however, it is possible they may differ from the level specified on final product packaging.

When looking at a list of products, why are some occasionally "featured"? 

Some products may from time-to-time be featured, or prioritized on the “Default” sort setting, because they have been selected to be highlighted by Cannabis NB. This may be done as part of a merchandising program, funded by the product supplier, or simply at the discretion of Cannabis NB.

Why do I get redirected to my “Profile” page when trying to purchase?
