Have you ever started a sesh with a handful of products with no idea what they do? Before we started tagging pairings and effects, we’ll be first to admit it was EVERY TIME! Consuming can be mysterious because there are over six thousand strains, each with their own unique effects. Combine that with your unique physiology and the only way to confidently consume was to note what works with each strain. We aptly called our solution Pairings.
The Steps to Pairing
Pairings is the act of noting what works after consuming. The note can be as simple as ‘Going for a Walk’, or ‘Relaxing at the Park’. The main step here is to make note of what feels good, so you can confidently reach for this product the next time you’re seshing with the same activity.
- Start Pairings by consuming a product, preferably with the Low and Slow method
- As the onset of effects occurs, be aware of anything you’re doing that you’re enjoying.
- Physical, Mental, Chores
- Note these by tapping the Add Pairings button
Pairings can be assigned under different groupings. It isn’t mandatory, but does help you keep track of them. The groupings also provide word hints. Blenddy helps you track:
- Activities – Use it to pair to something you do in your life, such as chores, workouts, etc.
- Tastes – **Flavors that meshed well or foods that you enjoyed
- Symptoms – What it provided relief for
- Aromas – **Something this smell went with
**In Blenddy, you’re not identifying what something smells or tastes like, just what goes with it. Aromas are defined scientifically by terpenoids. These measurements can be found in our strain library.
Each of the Pairings lists shows general options before specific suggestions. For example, in Activities, you’ll find Creative, Active, Tired… ahead of specifics such as basketball, weights, homework, etc.
When you experience an activity in your life working with this strain, note it! By being specific such as “working around the house”, “enjoying a meal”, or “Cleaning Up”, you’ll know the perfect strain to use when you’re doing your daily life. Imagine… having the perfect strain to do chores around the house!
Note Effects
Pairings are the easiest way to identify what to take for any given situation. It avoids having to process differing levels of information across a number of products. But sometimes you just might be looking for a singular effect.
In this instance, expand the Effects drop-down menu and use the tagging there. Add your own custom effects by using the “+” button. Remember, there’s no right or wrong as everything you tag is unique to you. Use the positive or negative groupings to give a quick view of what’s working.
