Creating a journal is entirely up to you, but here are eight things to include that are frequently tracked. You can pick and choose what is essential for you.
The date
Without a date, you may not recollect when it happened. Keep a journal by always including the date on each entry. That way, you can more easily fill in the gaps as to cannabis experience during a particular day or month.
Write the time of day you consumed Cannabis
Did you consume in the morning, afternoon, or evening? There is little scientific evidence on how people use Cannabis at different times during the day and its effect on their experience. However, it’s possible that Cannabis can produce different results at other times of a person’s circadian rhythm!.
- Humans have a circadian rhythm that shifts with the seasons and cycles of the day.
What type of Cannabis do you consume?
Cannabis comes in all shapes and sizes, from sativa to indica to hybrid, and they’re all great for different purposes. For instance, the Sativa strain is a better choice if you need more energy or the indica strain is better when looking for relief from pain.
The strain/breed of the Cannabis
Different types of Cannabis have other effects and thus can be used for various reasons. Sativa strains such as Durban Poison. Sour Diesel is known to produce more energizing and uplifting results, which can provide a boost during the day.
Indica strains like Bubba Kush tend to promote calming effects that are perfect for unwinding after a long day.
How much you consumed (e.g., 1 gram)
It is vital to remember that THC concentrations are highly variable and depend almost entirely on how the Cannabis is ingested. Depending on the method of ingestion, THC concentrations can be anywhere from 2% to 20%.

Write down any thoughts or emotions while medicated with Cannabis in your journal.
For example, I am feeling happy, relaxed, and unafraid. My thoughts are flowing effortlessly, and I feel at peace with the world around me. My hands are tingling, my legs are heavy, and I feel warm all over.
Put down any thoughts or emotions that come up while you’re not medicated with Cannabis in your journal.
