Disclaimer

This Disclaimer applies to this website, its related pages and subdomains, online menus, product information, blog articles, newsletters, promotions, social-media links, and other digital content operated for The Sweet Spot Dispensary (“The Sweet Spot,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing or using this website, you acknowledge and agree to this Disclaimer, our Terms of Use, and our Privacy Policy.

1. Adults and Qualified Medicinal Patients Only

Cannabis is a regulated product.

Adult-use cannabis is available only to persons who are at least 21 years old and satisfy applicable identification requirements.

Qualified medicinal cannabis patients who are at least 18 years old may be eligible to purchase cannabis where permitted by law and upon presentation of a valid physician’s recommendation or other required documentation.

Do not use the website, place an order, or attempt to purchase cannabis if you do not meet the applicable legal requirements.

Never purchase cannabis for, transfer cannabis to, or allow access by a minor or other ineligible person.

2. California Law Does Not Eliminate Federal Restrictions

Cannabis may be lawful under California law for certain adult-use or medicinal purposes, but it remains restricted or prohibited under federal law.

Do not transport cannabis across state lines. Do not possess or use cannabis on federal property where prohibited.

Cannabis use may also affect or be affected by employment rules, professional licensing, immigration status, housing rules, educational policies, probation or parole conditions, benefits, insurance, firearm laws, contractual obligations, and other legal considerations.

You are responsible for obtaining appropriate legal advice concerning your individual circumstances.

3. No Medical Advice

The website and its content are provided for general educational, informational, and commercial purposes only.

Nothing on the website is intended to constitute:

• Medical advice;
• A medical diagnosis;
• A prescription;
• A treatment plan;
• A recommendation to use or stop using a product;
• A substitute for professional healthcare;
• A guarantee of therapeutic benefit; or
• The establishment of a doctor-patient or other healthcare relationship.

Statements made by employees, budtenders, authors, manufacturers, customers, reviewers, or other contributors should not be interpreted as individualized medical advice.

Consult a qualified healthcare professional before using cannabis or changing an existing treatment plan.

Unless expressly stated on legally compliant product labeling, cannabis products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

4. Individual Effects Vary

Cannabis affects each person differently.

Effects may depend on factors including:

• Age;
• Body composition;
• Metabolism;
• Tolerance;
• Medical history;
• Mental-health history;
• Medications or other substances;
• Product type;
• Cannabinoid and terpene content;
• Potency;
• Serving size;
• Method of consumption;
• Food intake; and
• Frequency of use.

A description, review, recommendation, strain name, product category, or reported experience does not guarantee that you will experience the same effect.

Terms such as “indica,” “sativa,” “hybrid,” “relaxing,” “uplifting,” “energizing,” “sleep,” “focus,” or similar descriptions are general classifications or reported experiences and are not promises of a particular outcome.

5. Product Information and Labels

We make reasonable efforts to display accurate product information, but online descriptions may contain errors, become outdated, or differ from current inventory.

Product formulas, batches, packaging, potency, ingredients, weights, serving sizes, warnings, and test results may change.

Always inspect and follow the physical product label, packaging, ingredient information, serving directions, batch information, and warnings.

The current physical label and packaging control if website content differs from the product received.

Do not use a product if:

• Its packaging is open, damaged, or appears altered;
• The label is missing or unreadable;
• The product appears contaminated;
• The product has been recalled;
• You cannot identify its ingredients or potency; or
• Use would conflict with medical advice or applicable law.

6. Start Low and Go Slow

Cannabis products, particularly edibles, may have delayed and long-lasting effects.

Edible products may take a substantial amount of time to produce noticeable effects, and the full effects may develop later. Consuming additional servings too soon can increase the risk of an unpleasant or harmful experience.

Use only the amount stated on the product label unless a qualified healthcare professional advises otherwise.

Do not assume that the absence of an immediate effect means the product is ineffective.

Do not mix cannabis with alcohol, prescription medications, nonprescription drugs, or other substances without first consulting a qualified healthcare professional.

7. Impairment and Driving

Cannabis may impair judgment, coordination, perception, reaction time, memory, and motor skills.

Do not drive, operate a boat, use machinery, perform hazardous work, or engage in any activity requiring alertness while impaired.

There is no universally reliable waiting period that guarantees a person is no longer impaired. Effects may last longer than expected and may continue after the person no longer feels noticeably intoxicated.

Arrange safe transportation before consuming cannabis.

Driving under the influence of cannabis is illegal.

8. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Do not use cannabis if you are pregnant, may be pregnant, are trying to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding unless you have received appropriate advice from a qualified healthcare professional.

Cannabis, THC, and cannabis smoke may create developmental or reproductive risks.

Avoid smoking or vaping cannabis around pregnant persons, infants, and children.

9. Medical Conditions, Medications, and Interactions

Consult a qualified healthcare professional before using cannabis if you have a medical or psychiatric condition or take any prescription, nonprescription, or recreational substance.

Cannabis may interact with medications or affect certain conditions.

Particular caution may be appropriate for people with:

• Cardiovascular conditions;
• Respiratory conditions;
• Liver or kidney conditions;
• Neurological conditions;
• Anxiety, depression, psychosis, bipolar disorder, or other mental-health conditions;
• A personal or family history of substance-use disorder;
• A history of fainting or severe adverse reactions;
• Allergies or sensitivities;
• Upcoming surgery or medical procedures; or
• Any condition for which impairment could create additional risk.

Do not stop, start, or change a prescribed medication based on website content.

10. Dependency and Adverse Effects

Cannabis use can cause unwanted effects and may result in problematic use or cannabis use disorder.

Possible adverse experiences may include anxiety, panic, paranoia, confusion, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, rapid heart rate, impaired coordination, excessive sedation, or other physical or psychological effects.

Seek medical assistance when an adverse reaction is severe, persistent, or concerning.

Call emergency services immediately if someone is unconscious, has difficulty breathing, experiences chest pain, has a seizure, presents a danger to themselves or others, or appears to be experiencing a medical emergency.

11. Children and Pets

Cannabis products must be stored securely and kept out of the sight and reach of children and pets.

Edibles may resemble ordinary candy, snacks, baked goods, or beverages. Store them separately from non-cannabis food and retain them in their original child-resistant packaging.

Never consume cannabis in a manner that allows smoke, vapor, residue, or products to expose children or pets.

If you suspect that a child has consumed cannabis, contact California Poison Control at (800) 222-1222 and seek emergency assistance when appropriate.

If you suspect that a pet has consumed cannabis, contact a veterinarian or animal poison-control service promptly.

12. Smoking and Vaping Risks

Smoking cannabis exposes users and nearby persons to smoke and combustion byproducts.

Vaping may expose users to risks associated with inhalation, devices, batteries, additives, contaminants, or improper product use.

Do not modify cannabis products, cartridges, batteries, vaporizers, or other devices. Use only compatible products as instructed by the manufacturer.

Do not use a vaping product that appears damaged, altered, counterfeit, leaking, overheated, or subject to a recall.

Dispose of batteries and electronic vaping devices through an appropriate hazardous-waste or electronic-waste program.

13. California Proposition 65 Notice

WARNING: Cannabis smoke is known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm, including developmental harm. Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, also known as delta-9 THC, is known to the State of California to cause reproductive harm.

This general notice does not replace any product-specific, premises-specific, online-sale, or point-of-sale warning required by California law.

Always review the warnings provided with the product and at the applicable retail location or checkout screen.

14. Allergens and Ingredients

Cannabis products may contain ingredients capable of causing allergic reactions or other adverse effects.

Edibles, beverages, capsules, tinctures, topicals, vape products, and other manufactured items may contain or be produced in facilities that handle ingredients such as nuts, peanuts, dairy, soy, wheat, gluten, eggs, coconut, food dyes, flavorings, sweeteners, solvents, botanical extracts, or other substances.

Review the complete product label before use. Contact the manufacturer if you need additional ingredient or allergen information.

Do not use a product when you are uncertain whether it contains an ingredient to which you are allergic or sensitive.

15. Topical Products

Topical cannabis products are intended only for the uses stated on their labels.

Unless the label expressly provides otherwise:

• Do not ingest a topical product;
• Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes;
• Do not apply it to broken or irritated skin;
• Stop use if irritation occurs; and
• Keep the product away from children and pets.

A topical product may still contain ingredients that cause an allergic reaction or other sensitivity.

16. Recalls and Safety Notices

Cannabis products may be subject to regulatory recalls, manufacturer notices, quarantine, or other safety actions.

Stop using a product immediately if you learn that it has been recalled or may be contaminated.

Retain the product, packaging, label, batch number, and receipt, and follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer, retailer, or applicable regulator.

Website inventory or blog content should not be relied upon as the sole source of recall information.

17. Testimonials, Reviews, and Community Content

Testimonials, customer reviews, ratings, and community statements reflect individual opinions and experiences.

They are not guarantees, scientific evidence, medical advice, or representations that another person will receive the same result.

The display of a review does not necessarily mean that The Sweet Spot verifies every factual statement made by the reviewer.

References to third-party products, manufacturers, people, events, or organizations do not necessarily constitute an endorsement.

18. Blog and Educational Content

Blog articles and educational materials may discuss cannabis laws, products, cultivation, testing, trends, cannabinoids, terpenes, consumption methods, or related topics.

Laws, regulations, scientific information, products, and industry practices change over time. Content may become outdated after publication.

You should verify legal information with the appropriate government authority and obtain professional advice when a decision could affect your health, safety, employment, immigration status, housing, finances, or legal rights.

19. Product Availability, Pricing, and Promotions

Product availability, prices, potency, brands, discounts, promotions, store hours, service options, delivery areas, and event information may change without notice.

Online inventory may not reflect real-time store inventory.

A product’s appearance on the website does not guarantee availability, eligibility for a promotion, or acceptance of an order.

Promotional descriptions are subject to additional terms, legal purchase limits, exclusions, inventory availability, and applicable taxes and fees.
