When you’re using medical marijuana to ease specific symptoms it’s helpful to know which strains work the best for you. Each strain has a specific cannabinoid and terpene profile that creates specific kinds of relief. If you purchase marijuana products based only on their THC percentage, you’re essentially buying wine based on its alcohol content. But with all the cross-breeding and new products becoming available, it can be difficult to remember which strains allowed for optimal relief.

Guess what—there’s an app for that! Strainprint, a free app for iOS and Android allows users to enter details about their medical marijuana products, as well as their conditions and symptoms they are treating. It tracks each session, recording the product used and the symptoms it relieves.

How to Track a Session

At the beginning of each session, the app asks users to rate each symptom on a scale of 1 to 10, as a baseline. Then, users dose themselves appropriately with whatever product they are using and record the amount of product used on the app. Once finished, users click submit.

After a set amount of time, Strainprint will send a push notification to the user and asks them to rate the same symptoms again. 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. Once the symptoms are records, the app will ask you to record how you feel after using the product.

After a few sessions, users will start to see insights in the Snapshot section of the app, which lets them view their entire history. Users can even filter it by effect to see which strains were tagged with positive effects (happy, creative, pain-free) or avoid strains that led to undesired effects. There is even an option to find which strains worked best for each symptom and the app can send data to patients doctors. Each time a session is completed, you get “strainpoints,” that you can redeem for items like T-shirts, stash jars, grinders, or even a vaporizer.

So how is there free stuff given out by a free app? Strainprint collects the data from its users and sells it through Strainprint Analytics. The collected data is stripped of all identifying information as the Strainprint app is fully compliant with HIPAA, PIPEDA and PHIPA. The company has collected data on about 6 million sessions so far, which can be useful for researchers, growers, retailers, and clinicians.
