Noting the Highs of Your Cannabis Journey

With the ever-evolving world of cannabis, the innovation of new flower varieties, and how each experience can provide you with a variety of moods, tracking your cannabis adventures is a terrific way to advance your cannabis knowledge and deepen your understanding of various strains. Just as wine or craft beer enthusiasts keep tasting notes, a cannabis journal helps you document the unique qualities of each product you try. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or just lighting up your cannabis world, a journal can improve your ability to identify the nuanced differences in flavor, aroma, and effects between strains and your body.

To get started, choose a journal that will best fit your lifestyle. It could be a cool leatherbound diary, a scholarly spiralbound notebook, or a voice memo on your phone. You’ll want to set up each entry in the same way so that over time, you can compare. Divide your format into sections for strain names, appearance, aroma, flavor, effects, and overall experience. If you want to really geek out, you can also include categories like terpenes and cannabinoids. Get as imaginative as you like, adding spaces for sketches of those beautiful trichome-covered buds, or maybe an area to note what tunes you were jamming to when you consumed it. It is your cannabis journey—so make it fun, make it personal!

When trying a new strain, start by observing its look. What color is it? How about the density? Are the buds frosty with trichomes, bright green, or deep purple? Smell the cannabis. Is the aroma earthy and skunky? Is it sweet, citrusy, or floral? How about the flavor? Does it taste like pine, berries, or spice? Jotting down these sensory details helps train your senses and recall what you enjoyed most about each experience.

Remember to track the effects it has on you personally. How does the strain make you feel? Relaxed, uplifted, or focused? How long did the effects last, and were there any standout sensations? By tracking the vibes you experience, you’ll discover patterns and learn which strains best suit your mood or activities. Your tasting journal will become a personalized guide, uncovering the strains that light you up and refine your appreciation for cannabis.
