Why caregivers use this guide
What goes wrong without a structured protocol
Delayed onset misread as "not working"
A second portion is given before the first takes effect, leading to compounded, unmanageable intensity.
Inconsistent portion strength
Without pre-calculated portioning, two pieces from the same batch may contain very different amounts.
Memory-based decisions
"I think we used about this much last time" is not a safe system, least of all for a vulnerable adult.
No documentation trail
Without a preparation log, a caregiver cannot hand off accurately or adjust safely.
The process
Four stages, all decided before anything is administered
1
Document inputs
Source, potency, and batch data recorded upfront.
2
Calculate
Dose per portion worked out before preparation begins.
3
Portion & label
Every portion is labeled. Identity is physical, not remembered.
4
Observe only
No same-day re-dosing. No corrections.
The goal: you can hand a preparation to a colleague and explain exactly
what was made, how much is in each portion, and how long to observe, from a written
record rather than from memory.
What's inside
What you get in the guide
- Calculation worksheets for dose per portion
- A preparation log template for documentation and handoff
- Portioning and labeling protocols
- Onset and observation window reference tables
- Decision trees for edge cases (batch variability, uncertainty, handoff)
- The reasoning behind each rule, so you can explain it to others
Is it right for you?
Written for
- Caregivers in home or residential settings
- Anyone preparing for another person who needs consistent, documented portions
- Anyone who has had an unintended outcome from a poorly prepared batch
Not a recipe book, recreational guide, or potency manual.
It exists to reduce risk, not to enable experimentation.
