You just joined Buffalo Cannabis Network. This guide walks you through setting up your account, navigating your portal, and putting your membership to work, from your first login to your first published piece of content.
Step 1: Check Your Email and Set Your Password
When your account is created, you will receive a welcome email from BCN with the subject line “Welcome to Buffalo Cannabis Network — Set Your Password.” Open it and click the link to create your password.
The link expires in 24 hours. If yours has expired, go to the forgot password page to request a new one.
Step 2: Create Your Password
The link takes you to the BCN password setup screen. Choose a strong password with at least 8 characters. You will use this every time you log in to your member portal.
After setting your password, you will be taken directly to your portal. Bookmark buffalocannabisnetwork.com/login for future visits.
Step 3: Your Home Dashboard
Once you are logged in, you land on your Home tab. This is your control center. You will see three stats — Published, Pending, and Total Submitted — so you always know the status of your content at a glance.
The Quick Actions buttons at the bottom are the fastest way to jump into anything: write an article, submit a review, post an event, or upload your logo.
Step 4: Complete Your Profile
Click the Profile tab. This is where your account info lives and where you upload your company logo.
Your logo is what appears on your BCN directory listing — it is one of the first things potential partners and customers see when they find your business through BCN. Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP file, square or near-square, max 2MB.
To update your bio, directory details, or contact information, email info@buffalocannabisnetwork.com and the BCN team will handle it.
Step 5: Submit Content from the Submit Tab
Click Submit to see everything you can contribute to the network. There are four options:
- Article / Industry Update — share news, insights, or announcements from your business
- Product Review — submit a first-hand review of a cannabis product you have purchased
- Event — post a cannabis industry event to the BCN calendar
- Logo / Brand Asset — upload or update your company logo
Every submission goes to BCN admin review before going live. Most are reviewed within a few business days.
Step 6: Write an Article
The article form is built for clean, polished submissions. You will fill in a title, a short summary, and your body copy. You can also add a CTA label and URL — useful for driving readers to your website or a specific product.
The form supports three image uploads. BCN auto-generates a cover image from your title, so even if you only have one photo, your article will look complete when it goes live.
Step 7: Submit an Event
Use the event form to get your event on the BCN calendar. Fill in the title, date, start time, venue, and event type. If you are using Luma, Eventbrite, or your own ticketing page, paste the RSVP or ticket URL — BCN will link to it directly from the event listing.
Approved events go live on the public /events/ page and are visible to the full BCN community.
Step 8: Submit a Product Review
BCN reviews are open to all members. Submit a review of any cannabis product you have actually purchased — BCN editors read every submission. If yours is selected, you get VIP guest access to BCN events, exclusive BCN merch, and recognition as a BCN Community Reviewer.
To submit, you will need the product name, brand, product type, your rating, and where you bought it. A receipt or label photo is optional but recommended — it helps BCN verify and prioritize your submission.
Step 9: Track Your Submissions
The My Content tab shows every article, event, and review you have submitted, along with its current status. If something comes back as Needs Changes, open the revise link, make your updates, and resubmit — it goes back into the review queue automatically.
