READ TIME: 5 MIN

Intentionality is Key

It's 8 PM. You just got home. You reach for your stash automatically. Stop. Ask yourself: Why am I consuming right now?

  • Am I in pain?
  • Am I bored?
  • Am I anxious?
  • Do I just want to enhance this movie?

There is no wrong answer, but knowing the answer changes the dynamic from a habit to a choice.

The "Set and Setting" Rule

Borrowed from psychedelic therapy, this applies to cannabis too.

  • Set: Your mindset. Are you stressed or happy? Cannabis often amplifies your current state.
  • Setting: Your environment. Are you in a chaotic room or a cozy safe space?

How JointSesh Helps

By taking 10 seconds to log your entry before you inhale, you create a micro-pause. This pause allows for intention.

  1. Open App: See your dashboard greeting.
  2. Select Method: Acknowledge what you are using.
  3. Rate Effect (Later): Reflect on whether it served its purpose.

Mindful consumption isn't about quitting; it's about maximizing the benefits and minimizing the fog.
