Frequently asked
Questions about curves, labels and scanning.
How does scanning a label work?
Every WhatsYourCurve label carries a QR code tied to one specific batch. Point your phone camera at it and the batch page opens in your browser — no app install, no account. You see the product, the lab potency, and the Head & Body curves other people reported for that exact batch.
What's the difference between a batch-level curve and a strain review?
Strain ratings average across every grower, harvest, and year — two batches of the same strain can feel completely different. A WhatsYourCurve curve is built only from reviews of the batch in your hand, so it reflects what you actually bought, not the strain's reputation.
How do I record my own curve?
From the batch page, tap 'Record your curve' and drag two lines — green for head, blue for body — across a timeline sized to the product type. It takes under a minute, it's anonymous by design, and your curve immediately feeds the batch average.
How do producers get reviews for their batches?
Producers create a product, then a batch (lot) in the dashboard. Each batch gets a unique scan code and QR link to print on the label. Every consumer scan lands on that batch's curve page, and every submitted curve is tied to the lot — so feedback is precise, not averaged across the whole product line.
Is a curve medical or dosing advice?
No. A curve is descriptive — it shows what a community of reviewers reported experiencing, over time. It never tells you what to take or how much. The Danger Zone line is a harm-reduction cue, not a limit.
What happens when a lot only has one or two reviews?
Nothing gets presented as authoritative. Below the minimum sample size a lot shows a 'not enough reviews yet' state and the individual curves, rather than an average that a single outlier could dominate.
How does WhatsYourCurve handle compliance?
Labels are generated from compliance templates configured per jurisdiction — required warnings, potency, and batch identifiers are baked in, and adding a new state is a template change plus legal sign-off, not a code change. Curves stay descriptive precisely so they sit outside health-claim territory.
Do I need to install an app?
No. Everything runs in the mobile browser as a progressive web app. Scanning a QR code is already a phone action; adding an install step in front of it would only lose reviews.
Can my curves be filtered by tolerance?
Reviewers set a self-reported tolerance once. Tolerance-weighted views — seeing the average from people within range of your own — are on the roadmap right after the label and compliance release.
What is a CannaCurve?
The CannaCurve is the visual graph at the heart of LiveLabels: two lines — Head and Body — plotted from 0 to 6 over the duration of the experience. It shows onset, peak, plateau and comedown for a specific batch, rather than a single number or a strain stereotype.
What is the Danger Zone?
Intensity 5 and above is marked as the Danger Zone. Curves that spend time up there indicate experiences people commonly describe as overwhelming. It is a shared reference point for conversation, not a medical threshold or a dosing instruction.
Why batch numbers instead of strain names?
Not just generic Blue Dream — Black Diamond's Blue Dream, lot #127, from a specific harvest. Genetics, cultivation, curing and extraction all move the curve, so LiveLabels ties every review to the exact lot printed on the package.
Do I need an app?
No. The touch-based review system runs in any modern mobile browser, on any platform. Scan the QR code on the package and the batch page opens — recording a curve is dragging two lines with your finger.
Do I need an account to review?
No. Curves are anonymous by default. If you want a public history of your reports, create a member account (21+), and you can choose to sign individual curves with your profile.
How do producers get labels?
Producers create products and lots, attach lab data, pick a jurisdiction template, and download a print-ready label package with QR code, average-curve graphic and compliance block — or order printed runs through the dashboard.
Is LiveLabels giving medical or dosing advice?
No. LiveLabels reports what other adults said happened with a specific batch. It is not medical advice, not a dosing recommendation, and not a substitute for the guidance printed on the package or given by a professional.
