What’s in the bag today? Velvet Spritz—with a Z—from Grassroots. This indica-leaning hybrid crosses Romulan Grapefruit with Kush Mints. The flower came as smaller popcorn buds and was a little dry, but it still had some give and smoked surprisingly well. Its aroma starts subtly sweet before...

Linalool: More Than the “Sleepy Lavender” Terpene
Today we’re landing in the terps and breaking down linalool, that sweet, floral, slightly spicy terpene most commonly associated with lavender. For years, we thought lavender meant one thing: somebody was trying to put us to sleep. But linalool is more complicated than that. Finding it in a…
more -
Papa Burger: Sticky, Funky, and Strong as Hell
Papa Burger from Dragonfly came in swinging. This flower is soft, sticky, and squishy enough to gum up your grinder, with a smell that starts funky and savory before opening into something sweeter, creamier, and more tropical. At 27.5% THC—with 1% CBG and 0.5% CBC—this is not a strain we’d tell...

The $88 mistake

Are You Trying to Be Right?

-
Blueberry Sugar: The 16% THC Strain That Blew Us Away
Purple, frosty, fruity, gassy—and only around 16% THC? Blueberry Sugar by Brand Zero proves that a great cannabis experience isn’t always about chasing the biggest number on the label. In this episode of Cannabis School, Brandon and Jesse explore this Cream Cake 2.1 × Blueberry Frosting hybrid....

Bruised Egos & Cowboy Engineering

Candy Fumez | Sweet Candy, Bright Vibes & A Surprisingly Chill Hybrid
Candy strains can be hit or miss. Some lean all-in on flavor but leave the effects feeling flat. Others bring the gas but lose the sweetness. Candy Fumez manages to walk the middle. This week we’re checking out Candy Fumez from Find by Tryke, a hybrid bred from Zkittlez × Sherbanger. It brings...

What You Notice Changes Everything | The Sesh

Blueberry Headband | Quiet the Noise, Enjoy the Moment
What happens when you take two classic strains and end up with something that doesn’t demand your attention, but gently pulls you into the present? This week we’re talking about Blueberry Headband, a strain that surprised us in all the right ways. We expected more of that classic “headband”...
-

-
LA Pop Rocks

-
The Sesh: Stories, Beliefs, Politics & Why People See the Same Thing Differently
This week’s Sesh starts with a simple idea: stories shape everything. The way we see the world, the people we trust, the beliefs we hold, and even the things we’re willing to fight over usually come down to the stories we’ve accepted as true. Sometimes those stories help us make sense of reality....
-
Root Beer GMO
Some strains disappear before you’re supposed to record the episode. Root Beer GMO was one of those strains. 😆 Jesse brought home a bag for the show, and somewhere between “I’ll save some for the episode” and “Where did it all go?” there was basically nothing left except the nug we managed to…
more -
The Most Unhinged Conversation We’ve Had All Year
Some episodes are educational. Some are deep dives. And then there are episodes like this one where you sit down with a good friend, pass a bowl around, and let the conversation go wherever it wants. This week we’re joined by our buddy Preston Argyle for one of the most random, hilarious, and...
-
Triple Stack by Dark Heart| Strain Review
Not gonna lie, this is one of those strains that surprised us. When Jesse brought home Triple Stack from Dark Heart, neither of us had particularly high expectations. Based on past experiences, it probably wouldn’t have been the strain we reached for on the shelf. Then we cracked the jar open.…

Pills, Purpose, Dating Apps & the Stories We Tell Ourselves

-
What Ancient Civilizations Still Don’t Explain
This episode starts where all highly intellectual conversations should, ancient civilizations, hyper-advanced lost technology, underground civilizations, interdimensional weirdness… and eventually bathroom breaks. Brandon and Jesse take a completely normal stroll through theories about the...
-
Skywalker OG: The Strain That Makes You Feel the Force
Star Wars nerds, this one’s for you. 🌌 This week we cracked into Skywalker OG, and yeah… if a strain could hand you a lightsaber, tell you to trust the Force, and then make you talk for 45 straight minutes about life, this would be it. This one surprised us. Skywalker OG hit with that weirdly...
-
This Wasn’t a Failure. It Was Tuition.
What starts as Jesse getting green sticky pants and both of us nerding out over flower that smells like straight-up apple fritters somehow turns into one of those classic Sesh episodes where we accidentally get deep. This one goes everywhere, in the best way. We talk about the difference between...
-
Black Maple
This week we sparked up Black Maple from Dragonfly, and right out of the jar… yeah, the name tracks. Dark, sweet, maple syrup vibes. Not the fake pancake syrup from childhood. We’re talking the thick, rich, Costco real-maple kind that makes you question every breakfast decision you’ve made before...
-
What the hell happened to education, work, and just… figuring life out?
This week’s Sesh starts where a lot of great conversations do: realizing you’ve been trying to smoke an empty vaporizer like an absolute idiot. From there? Chaos. We get into why joints have officially become the preferred method, why glass somehow feels harsher as you get older, rolling paper...
-
Blue Pluto Strain Review
Blue Pluto came in swinging. Not soft. Not polite. Not the kind of strain that knocks gently and asks if now is a good time. This one had us coughing early, noticing the pine right away, and then realizing it was less of a body-melter and more of a “sit with yourself for a second” kind of strain....
-
The Lonely Connected
This episode starts with passing joints and gifted flower, then somehow spirals into loneliness, porn brain, social media validation, generational disconnect, masculinity, money, Lyme disease, Fight Club, and why cannabis still feels like one of the last real community experiences left.…
more -
5280 is the chill friend strain
Not loud. Not flashy. Not trying to kick the door in. It just shows up, sits down, and quietly tells your body to calm the hell down. In this episode, we review 5280 from Betty Wellness, a local Utah grow that came through soft, smooth, and way more interesting than the name makes it sound. The...
-
What does it actually feel like when everything clicks?
You know that moment, you’re in the corner, sliding, locked in… nothing else exists. That’s what we’re chasing in this one. We start with racing, dirt tracks, figuring it out lap by lap… but it turns into something bigger. Because that feeling? It’s not about the game. It’s about being fully…
more -
Cannabis School | First Class Funk Strain Review
First Class Funk is a weird one in the best way. This strain had that yin and yang thing going on hard. Body felt heavy, relaxed, and calm, while the head stayed clear, present, and ready to talk. Not sleepy. Not foggy. Just balanced in a way that really stood out. And the flavor makes total…

We’re All Starving for Real Connection
This one starts off loose and funny… then turns into something way deeper. What begins as a random Sesh turns into one of those conversations about life, connection, pain, service, identity, and what actually matters when all the noise gets stripped away. We bounce from birthdays, pain balm, and...
