Does Cannabis Give You Superpowers?

Ever feel like a few puffs turned you into a creative genius… then one more bowl sent you straight into “oh shit” territory? Yeah. We’ve been there. This week on Cannabis School, Jesse and Brandon explore those moments when cannabis makes you feel more focused, more present, and a little more like the superhero in your own movie. Jesse’s Tropicana Cherries story kicks things off with a twelve-page writing sprint—and a second bowl that took the experience in a very different direction. From there, we get into creativity, quieting the mental chaos, letting go of other people’s judgments, and finding joy without turning every damn hobby into work. There’s a giant bowl of Froot Loops analogy, a Ted Lasso moment, and enough gaming tangents to keep things interesting. The question underneath it all: does cannabis give us superpowers, or do we sometimes feel like we’re finally getting out of our own way?
