The SmartLinks portal is built to surface batch quality, servings and lifestyle content, never disease treatment, cure or prevention language. **Do you age-gate the CBD portal?** Yes — an 18+ gate sits in front of commerce, loyalty and educational content by default. It's lightweight (no ID upload for the base tier) and can be swapped for a stricter check where a specific market or retailer requires it. **Which mechanics actually drive LTV on a CBD pack?** In practice the biggest lifts come from batch-level COA (trust unlock), subscribe & save with top-up reminders, format upsell (oil → gummy → topical) and post-purchase review capture. Loyalty points and referral layer on top once the reorder loop is live. **How is this different from Medical Cannabis (THC)?** Medical THC is a prescription-only medicine in the UK ([MHRA CBPM 'specials' guidance](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-supply-manufacture-importation-and-distribution-of-unlicensed-cannabis-based-products-for-medicinal-use-in-humans-specials)). Its portal is patient-only post-scan and cannot carry consumer marketing, loyalty or discount mechanics — see the [Medical Cannabis](/solutions/health-beauty/medical-cannabis) page for how SmartLinks handles that flow. ### Ready to Turn Every CBD Pack Into a Trust and Sales Channel?
