What is a “session”?

A session is a medical record of a patient’s state just before or as they medicate compared to their state and emotive effect after an on-set period. The on-set period is based on the chosen ingestion method (eg. 20 minutes for smoke/vape or 1 hour for edibles). A session is only complete after all data is input. Patients must complete their last session before starting a new one. Incomplete (stale) sessions are purged after 36 hours.

Why does the data show ingestion methods not approved in my jurisdiction?

Strainprint does not endorse any ingestion method. Although certain jurisdiction allow for limited ingestion methods, some patients do in fact use methods that are approved and some that aren’t. Strainprint simply provides a useful means for real patients to track ALL of their use from lab-verified strains and products. This is beneficial for all Strainprint users and subscribers.
