![]() If you don’t have all that info, just leave those fields blank, but it’s nice to be able to keep track. When you enter a strain into Releaf, you can get extremely detailed, entering the grower, harvest date, batch number, and all the testing data-not just the total percentage of THC and CBD, but also eight other cannabinoids and over a dozen terpenes. The biggest differences are the amount of detail you can enter about each strain, and how sessions are tracked in real time. Releaf works in much the same way-you tell it about your strains and preferred consumption methods and track your sessions and how different strains affect your symptoms. Releaf: The app that tracks your sessions in real timeĪlso worth checking out is Releaf, a free app for iOS and Android. ![]() Strainprint is a Canadian company, but the app works for everyone in North America. The company says it’s collected data on 6 million sessions so far, and big data sets like that are useful for researchers, growers, retailers, and clinicians. The data is stripped of all identifying information-the Strainprint app is fully compliant with HIPAA, PIPEDA and PHIPA, and uses strong encryption. Why the free stuff, not to mention the free app? Because Strainprint aggregates the data from its users and sells it through its Strainprint Analytics arm. You can even ask the app to send the data to your doctor.Įach time you finish a session, you get “strainpoints,” that you can redeem for items like T-shirts, stash jars, grinders, or even a vaporizer if you save up enough. Better yet, you can drill down into various symptoms to see which strains worked the best for you. (The app has default waiting periods before it asks for feedback-20 minutes for smoking or vaping, 90 minutes for edibles, etc.-but you can adjust those in the settings, under Profile.) Then you record how the weed made you feel by tapping words like relaxed, hungry, red eyes, focused, sleepy, and so on, with the option to make notes.Īs you rack up sessions, you’ll start to see insights in the Snapshot section of the app, which lets you view your entire history, and filter it by effect to see which strains you tagged with positive effects (happy, creative, pain-free) or avoid strains that led to undesired effects. Maybe your stress went from a 9 to a 3, or your headache dropped from a 5 to a 4. Strainprint then sends you a push notification after a set amount of time that asks you to rate the same symptoms again. If you’re smoking or vaping you count your hits, if you’re eating you can enter the milligrams. Then you do your thing, and tell the app how much you’ve just consumed. For recreational sessions, it just asks you how you’re feeling. Then when you start a session, you’re asked which of those is the reason you’re blazing up-don’t worry, “recreation” is on the list, too.Īt the beginning of the session, the app will ask you to rate each symptom on a scale of 1 to 10, as a baseline. ![]() You also create a list of your conditions or symptoms that you use marijuana to treat. ![]() Strainprint: The app that gives you points for getting highĪ free app for iOS and Android, Strainprint lets you enter details about your weed product: flowers, cartridges, concentrates, edibles, whatever. It turns out, two excellent apps do the same thing for weed, letting you track how different strains and consumption methods affect you, so you can make more informed decisions. When I was getting into IPA beers, I started tracking them with Untappd to find my favorites. I don’t know about you, but I’m terrible at remembering details about all the strains I’ve tried and what I thought of each of them at the time, especially days or weeks later when I’m staring down the dispensary menu deciding what to buy next. All the other terpenes and cannabinoids in the weed combine to create what’s called the entourage effect, which is why different strains do different things to your body and brain. Buying weed based only on its THC percentage is like buying wine based on alcohol content. Whether you’re smoking pot to ease specific symptoms, or just to relax, it’s helpful to know which strains work the best for you.
