Product & Responsible Use Disclaimer
Virgin Islands Exotics, LLC (“VI Exotics,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides this Product & Responsible Use Disclaimer to promote informed, lawful, and responsible use of VI Exotics products.
VI Exotics products are intended exclusively for adults 21 years of age or older and should be possessed and used only where lawful.
CANNABIS & CANNABINOID PRODUCTS
VI Exotics may offer cannabis flower and other products containing naturally occurring cannabinoids.
Product composition, cannabinoid concentrations, legal classification, and other characteristics may vary by product, strain, batch, lot, and applicable jurisdiction.
Customers should review the applicable product information, compliance labeling, and batch-specific laboratory documentation before use.
Certain cannabis flower may naturally contain THCa.
When exposed to sufficient heat, THCa may undergo decarboxylation and convert into delta-9 THC.
As a result, products containing THCa may produce intoxicating or impairing effects when heated, smoked, vaporized, or otherwise used in a manner that causes conversion to delta-9 THC.
INDIVIDUAL EFFECTS MAY VARY
Cannabis and cannabinoids may affect individuals differently.
An individual's experience may vary based on factors including:
-
Product composition
-
Cannabinoid concentration
-
Amount used
-
Method of use
-
Individual tolerance
-
Prior cannabis or cannabinoid exposure
-
Body chemistry
-
Metabolism
-
Food intake
-
Medications
-
Alcohol or other substances
-
Other individual circumstances
VI Exotics does not guarantee that any customer will experience a particular effect, intensity, onset, duration, perceived potency, or result.
Experiences reported by another person, product descriptions, strain names, cannabinoid percentages, or previous experiences do not guarantee the same experience for another individual or batch.
IMPAIRMENT & DRIVING
Cannabis and cannabinoid products may cause intoxication, impairment, drowsiness, altered perception, reduced coordination, delayed reaction time, impaired judgment, or other effects that may interfere with the ability to safely perform certain activities.
Do not drive, operate machinery, operate a boat or other vehicle, or perform hazardous or safety-sensitive activities while impaired.
Customers should not rely solely on how they subjectively feel when determining whether they are capable of safely driving or performing another safety-sensitive activity.
Effects and duration may vary substantially among individuals and products.
Customers are responsible for complying with all applicable impaired-driving and safety laws.
RESPONSIBLE ADULT USE
VI Exotics products should be used responsibly and only by eligible adults.

Violates applicable law
-
Endangers themselves or another person
-
Conflicts with applicable warnings or instructions
-
Involves driving or hazardous activity while impaired
-
Provides access to minors
-
Constitutes unlawful resale, transfer, or distribution
Nothing in VI Exotics product information should be interpreted as a recommendation that a customer consume any particular amount or use a product through any particular method.
OVERCONSUMPTION & UNEXPECTED EFFECTS
Using greater amounts of a cannabinoid product may increase or prolong unwanted, intoxicating, or impairing effects.
Effects may differ from prior experiences and may vary among products and batches.
If a person experiences severe, unexpected, or concerning symptoms after using a product, they should discontinue use and seek appropriate medical assistance when warranted.
In an emergency, contact emergency medical services or an appropriate poison-control resource.
VI Exotics customer service is not a substitute for emergency medical care or professional medical advice.
SMOKING & INHALATION
Smoking cannabis produces smoke and may expose the respiratory system to combustion products and other substances capable of irritating or harming lung tissue.
VI Exotics does not represent that smoking, vaporizing, inhaling, or any other method of use is risk-free.
Individuals with respiratory concerns or other medical conditions should consult an appropriate qualified healthcare professional regarding their individual circumstances.

Products should be securely stored and kept out of the reach and sight of children and minors.
Customers are responsible for maintaining appropriate control over products in their possession and for taking reasonable measures to prevent unauthorized access by anyone under 21.
Age-restricted products should not be left unsecured in locations accessible to children or minors.
PETS & ANIMALS
VI Exotics cannabis flower and other adult-use products are not intended for animal consumption.

Cannabis leaves, botanical imagery, illustrations, animations, icons, photographs, packaging concepts, lifestyle visuals, and other creative elements appearing on viexotics.com or in VI Exotics marketing may be used for branding, design, education, identification, or general product-category representation.
The appearance of a cannabis leaf, cannabis-related symbol, or similar botanical imagery does not, by itself, represent that the depicted item is cannabis flower, marijuana, an intoxicating product, or a product offered for sale in any particular jurisdiction.
Such imagery may relate to a range of products, categories, concepts, or brand elements, including topical products, non-intoxicating products, accessories, merchandise, future products, or other legally distinct offerings.
Visual content should not be interpreted as:
-
A representation that every depicted product is currently offered or available

A representation that every depicted item contains THC or is intoxicating
-
An offer to sell a particular regulated product
-
A representation that a depicted product is available in the U.S. Virgin Islands or any other particular jurisdiction
-
A representation that VI Exotics manufactures, packages, distributes, or sells a depicted product in a jurisdiction where doing so would be prohibited
Actual product identity, composition, cannabinoid content, classification, availability, eligibility, and jurisdictional restrictions are determined by the applicable product information, labeling, transaction details, laboratory documentation where relevant, and applicable law.
Brand imagery does not override product-specific information, transaction-specific information, or applicable legal requirements.

Product classification and legal availability are separate determinations.
Where relevant, product classification may be evaluated under applicable federal law, including 7 U.S.C. § 1639o and 21 U.S.C. § 802(16), together with applicable federal regulations and state, territorial, Tribal, and local requirements.
References to those statutes, regulations, classifications, or other legal requirements mean the applicable provisions as amended and in effect at the relevant time.
Product availability does not constitute legal advice or a representation that a product is lawful for every person, purpose, activity, destination, or jurisdiction.
VI Exotics may restrict access, sale, shipment, delivery, pickup, or other fulfillment based on applicable law, regulatory requirements, product classification, destination, documentation, carrier requirements, licensing or permitting requirements, or VI Exotics compliance standards.
Successful purchase, shipment, receipt, or delivery in one jurisdiction does not establish eligibility in another jurisdiction or at another time.
