Trauma, Tall Tales & the Deep Diver Combo

Welcome back to Cannabis School! This week’s Sesh begins with Brandon discovering that his mom shared the podcast with someone who recently started working in human resources for a cannabis retailer.Apparently, Cannabis School is becoming an unexpected educational resource—which is exciting and slightly terrifying when you remember how quickly these conversations can leave the classroom.Brandon and Jesse settle into the session with a custom cannabis combination: Novarine by Find Cannabis mixed with Black Triangle. The vapor feels dry on the throat, but the combination produces a strong, relaxing experience that the guys decide to call Deep Diver.The conversation takes a serious turn as Brandon and Jesse discuss trauma, survival responses, personal growth, and the different ways people process difficult experiences. They talk about compassion, observation, professional therapy, and why healing does not follow a universal schedule.From there, the discussion moves into tall tales, invented identities, military stories, and the possibility that some people create elaborate versions of themselves to protect—or escape—the person underneath.Once the Deep Diver combination fully arrives, the Sesh becomes considerably less focused. The guys revisit Robin Williams’ unpredictable comedy, discuss common misconceptions about stimulant drugs, and share cautionary stories about past substance use and poor decisions.Jesse recalls an early-2000s experience involving friends, an old manual Honda Civic, one enormous mistake, and a very close encounter with a fire hydrant. It is a funny story in hindsight, but also a clear example of how quickly impaired decisions can become dangerous.This is a classic Cannabis School Sesh: thoughtful, personal, funny, occasionally uncomfortable, and intended for mature audiences.In this episode:• Brandon’s mom shares Cannabis School• Cannabis education in an unexpected workplace• Trauma, survival responses, and healing• EMDR and professional mental-health support• Tall tales and invented identities• Mixing Novarine with Black Triangle• The Deep Diver cannabis combination• Remembering Robin Williams• Misconceptions about stimulant drugs• Jesse’s cautionary stories about past substance use• An old Honda Civic and a very close call• Why the Storz & Bickel Volcano remains a show favorite Chapters:00:16 Brandon’s mom shares Cannabis School02:00 A serious conversation about trauma05:25 Different responses to difficult experiences09:37 Healing does not follow a schedule10:18 EMDR and processing the past11:18 Tall tales and invented identities20:15 Novarine mixed with Black Triangle20:48 The Deep Diver combination arrives21:21 Remembering Robin Williams23:40 Comedy and substance-use stories26:18 Clearing up stimulant misconceptions28:04 Jesse’s early-2000s story31:39 The runaway Honda Civic33:14 A close call with the parents38:04 The Storz & Bickel Volcano This episode contains mature discussions about trauma and past substance use.
