How Verdex checks a sellerFour checks behind
Read the methodology Four checks behind
every score
- Step 01
License check
We look each seller up on the official register — cannabis, health or pharmacy regulator — and note fines, suspensions and recalls.
- Step 02
Lab transparency
Batch-specific lab results customers can open, clear pricing, and a named owner with real contact details.
- Step 03
Reviews
Verified reviews left on Verdex count first. Until there are enough, large public rating samples, adjusted for sample size.
- Step 04
Scam watch
Clone sites, fake pharmacies and unlicensed sellers go on the public Red List — only with an official or credible source.
Registers we check against
- Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED)
- California Department of Cannabis Control (DCC)
- U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) — marijuana rescheduling actions
- Health Canada (Cannabis Act; producer licensing)
- Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO)
- B.C. Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB)
- Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC)
- Gouvernement du Québec (Cannabis Regulation Act)
- Government of Nova Scotia (Cannabis Control Act)
- MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency)
