Cannabis School

Most of us spend our lives trying to fix ourselves.But what if the first step isn’t fixing anything at all?This week, Brandon shares a project he’s been quietly building that started with one simple idea: patterns matter more than labels. Instead of putting people into personality boxes, what if we paid attention to the behaviors, reactions, and habits that quietly shape our relationships every day?That conversation turns into something much bigger.We dive into why we feel the need to be right, how awareness changes communication, why arguments usually have nothing to do with winning, and how simply noticing your own patterns can completely change the way you interact with the people you care about.Along the way we also get into dating, parenting, martial arts, motorcycles, modern technology, emotional triggers, and why sometimes the biggest breakthrough comes from asking yourself one uncomfortable question:“Am I trying to understand… or am I just trying to be right?”If you’ve ever wanted to communicate better, understand yourself a little more clearly, or simply become more intentional with the people around you, this is a conversation worth sitting with.Why awareness is more powerful than self-judgmentThe difference between patterns and personality labelsWhy trying to be “right” usually costs more than it gives backHow emotional states influence communicationThe hidden value of observing instead of reactingLessons from dating events, parenting, and everyday conversationsWhy noticing small behaviors can create massive personal growthHow changing what you pay attention to changes your entire experienceSometimes the biggest changes don’t come from becoming someone new.Sometimes they come from finally seeing what was there all along.Have a question or topic you’d love us to cover?Send it our way.

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” pressure, but what we found was something much calmer. This one slowly quieted the mental chatter, softened the edges of the day, and made it incredibly easy to simply exist for a while.If your brain feels like it’s running twenty tabs at once, this episode might hit home.Our honest first impressions of Blueberry HeadbandThe unique tea-like flavor with subtle berry notesWhy the effects felt more calming than mentally stimulatingHow this strain helped quiet racing thoughts without knocking us outWhen we’d actually choose this strain over othersWhy slowing down can sometimes create more creativity than speeding upGenetics: Blueberry × HeadbandTHC: 23.82%Top Terpenes:TerpinolenePineneFor us, Blueberry Headband started with a gentle pressure around the face before slowly moving into the head. Instead of delivering an intense cerebral experience, it created a calm, steady feeling that made everything feel… quieter.Not sleepy.Not couch locked.Just peaceful.This isn’t the strain we’d grab to brainstorm a business plan or dive into a complicated project. It’s the one we’d reach for after a long day when we want the constant mental noise to finally settle down.Think herbal tea with a light berry finish.The flavor stayed surprisingly consistent throughout the entire session, with earthy, slightly sweet notes and just enough blueberry to remind you where the genetics came from.Evening wind-downCampfiresHikingLongboard or scenic drivesListening to musicGuided meditationSitting outside and doing absolutely nothingSometimes that’s exactly what you need.Blueberry Headband isn’t trying to be the loudest strain in the room.It’s the one that reminds you to slow down.If you’ve been craving a strain that helps quiet the mental chaos without completely shutting you down, this one is absolutely worth checking out.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

This week starts with a joint, a conversation about why joints canoe, and somehow ends up exploring modern dating, loneliness, friendship, community, and why so many people feel disconnected despite being more connected than ever.  We talk about the kind of cannabis events we’d actually want to attend, why sharing a joint creates a different kind of social experience, and how cannabis seems to naturally bring people together in ways alcohol often doesn’t.  Along the way we get into dating culture, texting versus phone calls, voice memos, building meaningful connections, and Brandon’s growing passion project around helping people find community instead of just another app or service.  It’s one of those episodes where the strain is great, but the conversation is the real reason you stayed.Why LA Pop Rocks keeps becoming a favorite daytime smokeThe trick to preventing joints from canoeingCannabis date nights and infused dinner ideasWhy sharing cannabis feels different than sharing alcoholCreating spaces where people can actually connectNerd nights, D&D, gaming, cosplay, and finding your peopleAziz Ansari’s Modern Romance and what dating has becomeWhy younger generations hate phone callsThe rise of voice memos and why we love themBuilding tools instead of creating dependencyLoneliness, community, and what we’ve lost sociallyGym motivation, aging, testosterone, and staying healthyCorvette slander (sorry, not sorry)People aren’t necessarily lacking options.They’re lacking connection.We’ve built a world where you can instantly talk to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Yet a lot of people still feel isolated, unseen, and disconnected. The answer probably isn’t another app. It might just be more real conversations, more shared experiences, and more reasons to sit across from another human being and actually get to know them.  A good joint is great.A good conversation is better.And when you can get both at the same time, that’s where the magic tends to happen. Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

What happens when a strain smells like a bag of candy, smokes smooth over a year after packaging, and somehow leaves a minty little surprise on the finish?This week we’re breaking down LA Pop Rocks, a flavorful indica-leaning strain that caught us off guard with its balance. It delivers sweet fruit-forward aromas, a surprisingly smooth smoke, and effects that feel social, relaxing, and uplifting without immediately gluing you to the couch.  We dig into the genetics, terpene profile, flavor notes, and why this one became an easy recommendation for daytime or evening use if you’re looking for relaxation without feeling completely checked out. We also wander into road trip philosophy, dating events, Mario Kart drinking games, and the strange ways cannabis tends to make conversations go places you never expected.  Breaking down LA Pop Rocks and our first impressionsSweet candy, fruit, cheese, and mint flavor notesWhy this flower stayed sticky and fresh long after packagingGenetics: Triangle Kush Bx2 × Z AnimalTerpenes: Beta-Caryophyllene, Limonene, and HumuleneEffects: Euphoric, uplifting, social, and relaxingWhy Brandon keeps reaching for heavier indicas latelyCannabis vs alcohol in social settingsRoad trips as the ultimate compatibility testThe dating event idea we’d actually like to see happenStrain: LA Pop RocksGenetics: Triangle Kush Bx2 × Z Animal Dominant Terpenes:Beta-CaryophylleneLimoneneHumulene  Reported Effects:EuphoriaRelaxationIncreased sociabilityUplifted moodMinimal couch lock  Flavor Notes:Sweet candyFruityLight cheese funkMinty finish  LA Pop Rocks is a good reminder that “indica” doesn’t always mean sleepy. This one delivered calm, conversation, and relaxation while still leaving plenty of room to function and stay engaged.

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. Sometimes they become the thing that keeps us from seeing it clearly.  From there, we wander through government distrust, politics, religion, media narratives, community, forgiveness, personal responsibility, and the challenge of trying to understand people who see the world completely differently than we do.  We talk about why people can look at the exact same event and walk away with completely different conclusions. We explore how identity influences belief, how perception shapes reality, and why it’s becoming harder for people to have conversations without immediately dividing themselves into teams.  Along the way we get into Christianity, Mormonism, race, forgiveness, political tribalism, human behavior, and the idea that every person is carrying their own version of reality based on the experiences that shaped them.  As usual, we don’t solve any of the world’s problems.But we definitely spend some time poking at them. 😆Why stories are one of the most powerful forces in human historyGovernment trust, skepticism, and declassified informationPattern recognition and understanding peoplePolitical tribalism and identityThe difference between facts, perception, and beliefProperty rights, protest, and personal responsibilityRace, media narratives, and public perceptionForgiveness and why it’s often more about healing yourselfChristianity, Mormonism, and religious identityWhy no two people experience the same belief system exactly the same wayCommunity versus divisionThe challenge of understanding perspectives that aren’t your own  Most people aren’t reacting to reality.They’re reacting to the story they believe about reality.The more we understand the stories people carry, the easier it becomes to understand why they see the world the way they do. That doesn’t mean we have to agree. It just means we might stop assuming everyone who disagrees with us is the enemy.  Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

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 hang onto for recording. That’s usually a pretty good sign.  In this episode, we break down one of our favorite GMO crosses we’ve had in Utah and talk about why Root Beer GMO quickly became a repeat purchase.Why Root Beer GMO disappeared faster than expectedThe genetics behind this unique crossHow GMO continues to be one of our favorite flavor foundationsThe surprisingly noticeable root beer notes hidden in the profileWhy this strain shines in social settingsChatty strains versus distracting strainsThe terpene profile driving the experienceHow different consumption methods affect the overall experienceWhy some strains become automatic re-buysUtah flower quality and what Dragonfly continues to do well  Strain: Root Beer GMOGenetics: Root Beer × GMOGrower: Dragonfly Wellness (Betty)Dominant Terpenes:β-CaryophylleneHumuleneLimonene  This isn’t one of those strains that punches you in the face with root beer from the first hit.The root beer notes show up more on the finish.The initial inhale brings the familiar funky, savory GMO character, but the longer you sit with it, the more those subtle root beer notes start creeping in through the aftertaste. It’s one of those strains where you keep going back for another hit because you’re trying to figure out exactly what you’re tasting.  The word that kept coming up throughout this episode was chatty.Not distracted.Not scattered.Not bouncing off the walls.Chatty.Root Beer GMO felt like one of those strains that naturally keeps conversations flowing. Every topic led to another topic, then another story, then another rabbit hole. Before long, the episode turned into exactly the kind of conversation this strain seems built for.  It’s social, uplifting, and happy without feeling overly energetic.That said, if you keep pushing it, the haze starts creeping in. The more we consumed, the more that classic “where was I going with this?” cloud started showing up.  Not every great strain needs to knock you into the couch.Sometimes the best cannabis experiences are the ones that keep the conversation going, make you laugh a little harder, and leave you wondering where the last two hours went.That’s Root Beer GMO.This is one of those strains we’d happily keep around for game nights, hanging out with friends, creative conversations, and those evenings where the goal isn’t necessarily getting blasted.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

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 unexpectedly thoughtful conversations we’ve had in a while.We talk cannabis, first experiences with weed, ridiculous party stories, religion, community, personal growth, career frustrations, and somehow end up debating the logistics of having an anatomically impossible superpower. Because apparently that’s where the conversation needed to go.  What starts as a laid-back smoke session turns into one of those conversations that bounces between laughing so hard your face hurts and accidentally stumbling into something meaningful.Preston’s cannabis journey and how he got startedThe difference between alcohol culture and cannabis cultureWild party stories that probably should have ended much worse than they didWhy cannabis became a better fit than drinkingCommunity, religion, and finding connection even when your beliefs evolveThe challenge of staying true to yourself while maintaining relationshipsWork, purpose, and why so many people feel trapped by traditional employmentHow performance and value don’t always fit neatly into hourly pay structuresFriendship, growth, and the people who shape our livesSeveral conversations that went completely off the rails in the best possible way  The best conversations rarely follow a script.Sometimes you start by talking about cannabis, take a detour through terrible life decisions, somehow land in philosophy, and come out the other side with a better understanding of yourself and the people around you. That’s pretty much this entire episode.  King’s Cup stories that escalated way faster than they should haveWhy Preston’s experience with cannabis looked different from most peopleA surprisingly honest conversation about faith, community, and belongingBrandon’s thoughts on work, productivity, and being measured by outcomes instead of hoursMore laughs than we can reasonably summarize in show notes Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

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.  Huge buds. Soft texture. Loud aroma. Good moisture. And after spending some time with it, we realized this one deserved a closer look.In this episode, we break down Triple Stack’s flavor, terpene profile, effects, and why it ended up becoming one of the bigger surprises we’ve had from a Utah grower lately.  First impressions of Dark Heart’s Triple StackWhy this strain completely changed our expectationsThe mystery behind its unreleased geneticsFlavor notes ranging from creamy vanilla and baked goods to funky cheese, fuel, and spiceTerpene profile featuring β-Caryophyllene, Myrcene, Limonene, and LinaloolWhy slow-onset strains can sometimes create a longer-lasting experienceHow Triple Stack delivered relaxation without heavy sedationWhy great budtenders are worth their weight in goldThe importance of shopping by terpene profile instead of THC percentage aloneThe cannabis strains that continue to surprise us the mostGrower: Dark Heart (Utah)Strain: Triple StackType: Indica-Hybrid Leaning Balanced HybridTHC: Typically reported between 20-30%Top Terpenes: β-Caryophyllene, Myrcene, Limonene, LinaloolReported Flavor Notes: Vanilla dough, toasted nuts, berry, grape, fuel, cream, funky cheese, and spice. Triple Stack felt less like flipping a light switch and more like slowly turning down a dimmer.The onset was gradual. No racing thoughts. No anxiety. No heavy couch lock.Instead, it delivered a calm, clear-headed relaxation that seemed to melt tension out of the shoulders and upper back while keeping the mind engaged and present. It felt social, creative, and surprisingly functional.  If you’ve ever wanted something that lets you appreciate a museum, wander an art gallery, play board games with friends, or simply enjoy a conversation without feeling glued to the couch, this strain might be worth exploring.  A strain doesn’t have to hit like a freight train to be effective.Sometimes the best cannabis experiences are the ones that sneak up slowly, quiet the noise, relax the body, and let you stay fully present.Triple Stack was a great reminder of that.  Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

This week’s Sesh starts in one place and somehow ends somewhere completely different, which is honestly how most great conversations go. We dive into Utah’s long history with prescription pills, share stories about pain medication, addiction, recovery, and how easily people can find themselves heading down a road they never intended to travel.  From there, the conversation shifts into chronic pain, fitness, alcohol, personal responsibility, and the frustrating reality that sometimes the best solutions come from random people who’ve lived through the same problems rather than the professionals you expected to help.  Then things take a turn into dating, relationships, identity, self-worth, and the strange expectations we place on ourselves and each other. We talk about modern dating, why genuine connection feels harder than ever, how people confuse job titles and income with value, and why many of us are still carrying stories about who we think we’re supposed to be.  Along the way we explore friendship, fatherhood, religion, community, personal growth, networking culture, leadership, and why helping other people often ends up helping ourselves just as much.  Utah’s long history with prescription pill abusePain medication, addiction, and recovery storiesWhy movement often helps chronic pain more than medicationThe surprising similarities between dating and video gamesHow self-worth gets tangled up with money and careersDating apps, modern relationships, and connectionFatherhood, purpose, and personal growthWhy community matters more than networkingLeadership, hiring, and building better workplacesThe stories we tell ourselves about who we areOne Thing to remember,Most of us spend a lot of time trying to become the person we think we’re supposed to be.

What happens when you cross old-school orange genetics with modern gas-heavy funk? You get Ecto Cooler, a strain that hits like a citrus soda spiked with rocket fuel. In this episode, we crack open the genetics, terpene profile, flavors, and effects behind one of the most memorable citrus-forward cultivars on dispensary shelves.Named after the iconic ‘80s drink, Ecto Cooler has built a reputation for delivering bright, uplifting effects while keeping enough body relaxation in the mix to stay balanced. Whether you’re chasing flavor, focus, or just curious about what makes this strain stand out, we’ve got you covered.The genetics behind Ecto CoolerWhy citrus-heavy strains continue to be fan favoritesThe terpene profile that drives its aroma and effectsCommonly reported effects and who might enjoy themWhy the same strain can feel different from person to personHow Ecto Cooler compares to other citrus-forward cultivarsType: Sativa-dominant HybridGenetics: California Orange × Gorilla Biscuit Common Aromas & Flavors:OrangeLemon citrusPineFuelSweet gas  Commonly Reported Effects:UpliftedFocusedCreativeHappyRelaxed  While terpene results vary by grower and batch, Ecto Cooler is most often associated with:LimoneneMyrceneCaryophyllenePinene (in some cultivars)Linalool (occasionally present in smaller amounts)  Ecto Cooler is a great example of why strain names only tell part of the story. The real experience comes from the plant’s chemistry, the terpene profile, cannabinoid content, and your own biology. One person’s productive daytime strain can be another person’s movie-and-couch strain.That’s why at Cannabis School we always say: start low, go slow, and pay attention to how your body responds.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

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 pyramids, Atlantis, Petra, ley lines, Skinwalker Ranch, Bigfoot, ultra terrestrials, the Book of Enoch, and whether reality is way stranger than we’ve been told.  Somewhere between discussing classified documents, weird government studies, and possible portal creatures, the conversation takes its usual Sesh turn into body weight, random life updates, social chaos, and the kind of completely unhinged side tangents that make this show what it is.  If you’ve ever sat around with friends, passed something good, and ended up asking, “Wait… what if everything we know is incomplete?” this one’s for you.Conspiracy?

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 perfect combo of clear-headed chill + upbeat social energy, which is honestly a dangerous combination if you already like talking as much as we do. No couch-lock zombie vibes here. More like “let’s have a deep conversation, start three business ideas, and somehow end up discussing traumatic childhood nut injuries.”As one does.We break down the flavor, terpene profile, why this strain feels like wearing a weird invisible fuzzy helmet, and whether this is actually a daytime hybrid worth keeping in regular rotation.Spoiler: it kind of slaps.In this episode:Why Skywalker OG feels weirdly Force-sensitiveThe “invisible helmet” high (you’ll get it when it hits)Clear-headed social energy without the mental fogCottonmouth that comes in swingingWhy this might be one of our favorite true hybridsPain relief potential (but not the knockout kind)Whether cannabis actually makes you sleepy… or if you’re just exhaustedJoint rolling rabbit holesWhy micro joints may be the moveA very real Cannabis School live joint-rolling event ideaSkywalker OG quick breakdown:Lineage: Mazar x Blueberry OGTop reported terpenes: Myrcene, Beta-Caryophyllene, Limonene, Humulene, Terpinolene  Reported vibe: Social, upbeat, mentally clear, chill, chattyWatch for: Cottonmouth and accidentally becoming the friend who will not stop talkingIf you like hybrids that actually feel balanced instead of pretending to, this one deserves a shot.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

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 failure and expensive education, why some of life’s dumbest moments end up teaching the most, and how changing the story you tell yourself can completely change how you process setbacks.There’s also a very real detour into what a Cannabis School coffee shop would look like (honestly? still into this idea), conversations about being a cannabis nerd without fully admitting you’re a cannabis nerd, and some unexpectedly solid reflection on relationships, communication, and why clarity changes everything.Basically: part stoner brainstorm, part therapy session, part business idea pitch deck we absolutely built while high.In this episode:Flower that smells suspiciously like apple frittersJesse’s tragic grinder incidentWhy “failure” might be the wrong wordThe business ideas weed gives you at the exact wrong timeCannabis School Café (investors, call us 😂)Learning from expensive mistakesHow misunderstanding creates relationship frictionBrandon realizing what he actually nerds out aboutRandom tangents because… obviouslyIf you’ve ever had a conversation that started with weed and somehow ended with life advice, this one’s for you.—🎙️ Cannabis School is here to make cannabis make sense.

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 now.Black Maple comes in as a true hybrid bred from Dulce de Uva x Sherbanger, and this one hit interesting.For us, the effects came on pretty head-first. Forehead, temples, behind the eyes, that “okay I definitely feel this” pressure, but without tipping into couch-lock territory. It had some lift thanks to the pinene presence, but didn’t fully commit to being an energetic daytime strain either.Basically? It lives in that weird middle ground.Top terpenes:Beta-CaryophylleneLimoneneAlpha-PineneBeta-PineneCannabinoid profile included trace amounts of:Delta-9 THC, THCV-A, CBG, CBC-A, CBD-A, and CBG-ATranslation? More going on than just “big THC number go brrrr.”And honestly… that became part of the conversation.Because somewhere in this episode we started talking about how chasing the highest THC is still one of the dumbest shopping habits in cannabis.Black Maple wasn’t bad. Not even close.It looked great.Smelled fantastic.Flavor was solid.Effects got better as it settled in.But compared to some strain combos we’ve mixed lately? It felt like this one might actually shine more as a pairing strain than a solo act.Which led us down a whole rabbit hole of cannabis blending, terp stacking, entourage effect conversations, and whether more people should be intentionally mixing strains instead of always hunting the newest hype jar.Best reported tendencies from this one?HappyRelaxedFocusedMild pain reliefWould we smoke it again? Yeah.Would we reach for it over some of our favorite custom combos? Probably not.But if you’ve had Black Maple from a different grower or batch, your mileage may absolutely vary because cannabis is wildly batch-dependent.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

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 debates, weird product tangents, and then somehow take a hard left into one of the more honest conversations we’ve had in a minute.We talk about whether the education system is actually preparing people for real life… or just training people to follow a script that doesn’t exist anymore.College degrees.MBAs.Job hunting.Why some companies want ridiculous credentials for jobs that absolutely do not need them.Why younger generations are rethinking work entirely.Why older generations stayed put.And what “valuable work” even means now.We also get into:Why mentorship seems way harder to find nowWhether college is still worth itMike Rowe, dirty jobs, and overlooked careersWhy so many people feel disconnected from the work they doSociety rewarding conflict over contributionMen, employment, and some uncomfortable realities around motivation and purposeBasically… one of those episodes where we started talking about rolling joints and somehow ended up questioning modern civilization.Classic.If you’ve ever questioned school, your career path, or why adulthood feels like everyone’s making it up as they go… this one’s for you.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

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.Blue Pluto is an indica-dominant hybrid, usually connected to Pluto Kush crossed with an unknown strain. The public info on this one is pretty thin, so we’re not pretending this is some perfectly documented family tree. What we can say is this: it feels like it comes from that Pluto world. Piney, slightly sweet, heady, and a little spacey without fully dragging you into the couch.The likely terpene profile leans toward myrcene, caryophyllene, limonene, and possibly pinene. In normal human words, that means you may notice pine, citrus, spice, earth, and that slightly sharp “back of the lungs” feeling that made this episode start with a cough warning.Effect-wise, Blue Pluto was interesting. It was calming, but not sleepy. Focused, but not racy. Heady, but not foggy. We both noticed it more in the head and neck than as a full-body pain relief strain. This probably would not be my first pick for heavy pain, headaches, or deep relaxation, but for introspection, breathwork, racing, reading, or getting into a focused mental pocket, there’s something there.This episode gets into how cannabis changes depending on your mood, stress level, and what your body is already carrying. Same strain, different day, different human, different result.Blue Pluto might not be the superstar strain of the year, but it gave us a real conversation about anxiety, meditation, focus, job stress, breathing, and learning how to actually check in with yourself instead of just bulldozing through the day.A little coughy.A little piney.A little cosmic therapy session in disguise.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

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. Basically… a normal episode of The Sesh.You’ll hear Brandon and Jesse unpack the weird reality of modern connection. Why people are more “plugged in” than ever but somehow feel more isolated. Why sharing a joint with someone hits different than smoking alone. And how a lot of us have slowly traded physical community for digital performance without even realizing it.There’s also a deep dive into how social media, porn culture, online validation, and constant comparison may be changing the way people connect, date, work, and even see themselves. Some of the conversation gets philosophical, some gets wildly off the rails, and some of it gets surprisingly personal.Somewhere in the middle:• Ice Cream Cake becomes a “time machine”• Fight Club gets brought into the conversation• The Island Boys catch a stray• Jesse accidentally forgets what he was talking about mid-thought• Brandon questions whether modern society is quietly starving for real human connectionAnd honestly? That’s kind of the whole episode.This one is less about cannabis itself and more about the thing cannabis often creates when it’s shared correctly:conversation, connection, honesty, and people actually slowing down long enough to talk.If you’ve ever felt disconnected, overwhelmed by social media, stuck in your own head, or just tired of fake interactions, this episode will probably hit somewhere familiar.As always, roll something up, sit with us for a bit, and welcome to The Sesh.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

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 flavor starts mild with a little minty note, then settles into more of a spicy back-end as the bowl opens up. Nothing aggressive, nothing harsh, just a subtle smoke that builds into a calm, steady presence.What’s in it:Lineage: Dante’s Inferno x RS11THC: around 20%Top terpenes:• Beta-Caryophyllene• Humulene• Bisabolol• Limonene• LinaloolWhat we felt:Calm bodyClear headLight dry mouth, mostly tongueQuiet focusLess fidgetyRelaxed without feeling dumbThis one leaned indica, but not “cancel your day” indica. More like a hiking strain, yardwork strain, gym strain, or “I need to get through tasks without my body vibrating like a shopping cart wheel” kind of strain.We also get into Utah hiking weather, movie theaters being wildly overpriced, popcorn economics, streaming brain rot, instant gratification, and how comfort has somehow made all of us worse at waiting.If you’re looking for something heavy and dramatic, this probably isn’t it.But if you want a smooth, calm, functional strain that helps your body settle without making your brain useless, 5280 is a solid one.Stay curious.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

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 there.We get into:• Why flow state feels like time disappears• The moment fear leaves, and why that’s dangerous• How most people are distracted out of their own lives• Why job hunting, connection, and confidence all come from the same place• The real reason people feel disconnected, even when they’re together• And how something as simple as putting your phone down changes everythingThere’s a line in here that stuck:You don’t need a better life.You need to actually be in the one you’re living.This one starts fun…but it lands somewhere real.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

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 sense when you look at what usually shows up in this strain. First Class Funk commonly leans on limonene, caryophyllene, and pinene, so you get that funky, peppery, earthy, slightly bright punch right up front. That GMO and Jet Fuel Gelato background definitely shows up here too.  What we liked most was how present it felt. Shoulders dropped, body chilled out, but the mind didn’t shut off. It felt grounded without getting dull. Bigger hits came in a little hot on the throat, but once it settled, it was super nice.This feels like a great strain for a walk, the gym, hanging out, or just taking the edge off without getting flattened.If you want something that relaxes the body without turning your brain off, First Class Funk is worth checking out.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

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 getting a little too lifted… into martial arts, poverty, religion, race, community, loneliness, love, and why most people are starving to just feel seen.This episode is a reminder that real connection still matters.That helping people matters.That being yourself matters.And that a lot of us are carrying way more than we let on.We talk about the moments that change you forever, the kind that make you realize how much you’ve taken for granted, and how something small to you can mean everything to someone else.We also get into why people hide, why so many relationships stay surface-level, and what happens when somebody finally feels safe enough to be fully themselves.It’s funny, raw, thoughtful, a little all over the place, and honestly… one of those episodes that says more than it means to.In this one:• birthday chaos and a very high mom moment• martial arts, tai chi, and why movement matters• how poverty changes perspective fast• why service hits different when nothing is expected back• religion, shame, forgiveness, and conditional love• race, identity, and how people get taught division• what it means to actually feel seen• why being yourself works better than trying to performThis one is less about having answers and more about remembering what’s real.Stay curious.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

San Fernando Valley OG is one of those strains that doesn’t rush you… it settles you.Smooth inhale, calm head, relaxed body, then out of nowhere you realize you’ve melted into the chair a little more than planned.In this episode, we break down San Fernando Valley OG from Fire Star and how it actually shows up in real life, not just on paper. The flavor leans sour, earthy, a little cheesy on the back end, and surprisingly solid for older flower.What’s driving that experience:Terpenes you’ll usually see:• Myrcene – that heavy, body-relax feel• Caryophyllene – adds a little spice, helps take the edge off stress• Limonene – keeps your head from going fully foggy• Linalool – soft, calming, slightly floral layerThis combo is why it feels balanced at first… but if you keep going, it leans more into that relaxed, almost sleepy zone.Cannabinoids (typical range):• THC: ~18–24%• CBD: usually very low, often <1%• CBN: [Inference] may be slightly elevated in older flower, which can add to that sleepy, slower feelSo even if the THC doesn’t look crazy, the experience stacks differently because of how everything works together.What we actually felt from it:Calm, steady headRelaxed body without instant knockoutSlow creeper onsetClear at first, heavier if you keep goingThis isn’t a “go conquer the world” strain.It’s more like… finish what you’re doing, then chill.We also get into dry herb vapes vs joints, why hand-rolled still wins for flavor early on, kombucha experiments, and the reality of 4/20 deals, good for your stash, rough on your wallet.If you like something that lets you stay present but takes the edge off your body, San Fernando Valley OG does that really well.Stay curious.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

This one’s for anyone trying to figure out where they fit while building something real.We got honest on this episode. Jobs, identity, money, purpose… all of it.What happens when you start getting traction somewhere else, but it still doesn’t feel like “the thing”?We talk about that weird middle space.Between building your own path and working for someone else.Between chasing freedom and needing stability.There’s a lot in here:• Getting interviews after actually applying yourself• Why responsibility can feel better than chasing a check• Letting go of doing everything yourself and building a team• Why content works better when it feels like a conversation, not a strategy• The truth about social media… it was supposed to be connectionWe also get into sales, rejection, and why most people overcomplicate it.Spoiler, people don’t want to be sold. They want to feel understood.And somewhere in the middle of all that, we realized something simple:The more you try to sound like everyone else, the more people tune out.The more you just show up as you, the more things start working.This one’s less about cannabis, more about life.But honestly… that’s kind of the point.If you’ve ever felt stuck between where you are and where you want to go, this one will hit.Stay curious.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

This episode started with some love for the Bomb rig and turned into one of those conversations that reminds you this plant is way more than a label.We’re talking about Jaeger, and this one caught us off guard in the best way.Not in a jittery, over-the-top, too-much kind of way.More like clear, awake, social, and lightly lifted.Jaeger brought that focused, present kind of energy where you feel like doing something, but without the chest tension, racing energy, or weird edge people usually assume comes with certain strain labels. It felt mellow, functional, thoughtful, and honestly just really enjoyable.That’s what made this episode fun.Because once we got into how Jaeger actually felt, it turned into a bigger conversation about how many people still judge cannabis based on old labels, old stigma, and one bad experience they had years ago.We talk about why terpene profiles matter more than lazy indica vs. sativa assumptions, why dose matters more than people think, and how understanding your own response can completely change your relationship with cannabis.And then, because this is us, the conversation drifts into all the things cannabis tends to open up when you actually pay attention.Stigma.Judgment.Alcohol.Emotions.Connection.Why some people feel more open, more reflective, and more like themselves when they use cannabis intentionally.We also get into something real here, how cannabis can help people slow down enough to actually feel what they’re feeling instead of just stuffing it down or checking out. Not in a miracle-cure kind of way. Just in a “maybe I can sit with this, understand it, and move through it” kind of way.Jaeger ended up feeling like one of those strains that helps you loosen your grip a little. Not foggy. Not couchlocked. Not chaotic. Just good. Social. Grounded. Easy to enjoy.If you’ve written off certain strains because of labels alone, this episode might change how you think about that.And if you’ve ever felt like cannabis helped you feel more open, less judgmental, or more okay being yourself, yeah, we go there too.Strain: JaegerFormat: ConcentrateVibe: Clear, social, reflective, mellow liftBest fit: Daytime, conversations, being productive, getting out of your own wayHeads up: Start low and go slow if you’re newer, because too much may feel a little spaceyThis one’s for the people who want to feel better without feeling out of it.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right”…but something still feels off, this episode is for you.Not burnt out.Not lazy.Just… disconnected.From purpose. From direction. From anything that actually feels real.We start this one talking about that strange feeling cannabis can bring up,like none of this is new, like life has happened before, just in a different version.But it turns into something deeper.Because somewhere along the way, “progress” stopped meaning fulfillmentand started meaning faster, newer, more.And a lot of people are left sitting there thinking…why doesn’t this feel better?What we get into:Why so many people feel lost right nowHow distraction replaced directionThe difference between making money and having purposeWhy you’re influencing people, whether you realize it or notAnd what it actually means to be a decent human in a noisy worldThere’s also a real conversation around belief systems,not as labels, but as lived behavior.Because it’s easy to say what you believe.It’s harder to live it.Where cannabis fitsNot as an escape.As a moment to slow down and actually look at your life.Not guaranteed.

This one started with a discount eighth and a little suspicion.Bachelor Party by Black Sheep was harvested back in December 2024, so yeah, this was definitely older flower. Usually that’s where expectations start dropping. Dry bud, muted flavor, weaker effects, all the usual red flags. But this one ended up doing something way more interesting. It held up.What kicked this episode off was simple, Jesse grabbed it on sale for $22 an eighth, and we figured we’d see if this older batch was still worth the smoke. Turns out, Bachelor Party had a lot more going on than expected.The flavor came through sweet, a little strange, and honestly kind of unique. There was a terpene in this one we don’t usually see, fenchyl alcohol, which sent us down a rabbit hole about aroma, uncommon terpene profiles, and why some strains hit different in ways you can’t always predict from the label alone.But the real surprise was the effect.This wasn’t one of those strains that punches you in the face right away. It had a slower onset, but once it settled in, it brought this really clear, relaxed, steady headspace. Not heavy in a dumb way. Not racy. Not foggy. Just calm, functional, and easy to ride with. Jesse talked about it knocking him out at night without even realizing it, while I ended up seeing it as something I’d use during the day, for work, hiking, or just hanging out.That’s kind of what made Bachelor Party stand out. It felt flexible. If you’re already tired, it can lean bedtime. If you’re up and moving, it seems to move with you. Clear-headed, mellow, and surprisingly useful.This episode also turned into one of those classic Cannabis School detours, where a strain review becomes a bigger conversation about perception, gratitude, anxiety, relationships, belief, internal dialogue, and how much your mindset shapes your experience. So yeah, this one covers flower, but it also goes way past flower.Bottom line, Bachelor Party was way better than either of us expected, especially for year-old bud. Dry? Yeah, probably. But still flavorful, still effective, and honestly a really solid pickup.If you can find a fresher batch, even better. But based on this one alone, Bachelor Party is worth paying attention to.Strain: Bachelor PartyBrand: Black SheepParent company discussed: Standard WellnessTop terpenes discussed: beta-caryophyllene, limonene, humulene, fenchyl alcoholNotable cannabinoids mentioned: CBC, CBGOverall vibe: clear-headed, calm, flexible, lightly relaxingBest fit from this episode: daytime, work, hiking, hanging out, or winding down if you’re already tiredThis episode is for anyone who’s ever looked at an old jar on sale and thought, “there’s no way this is still good.”Turns out, sometimes the cheap old weed still has a few things to say.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

In this episode of The Sesh, we start with a painfully honest truth, novelty is addictive as hell.Not in the dramatic after-school-special way. In the real-life way. Learning can feel productive. Research can feel productive. Building the perfect system can feel productive. But sometimes it’s just a prettier way to avoid doing the actual thing in front of you.So that’s where this one starts.We get into analysis paralysis, fear of failure, bare minimum habits, and why doing ten simple reps every day beats building some giant perfect plan you’ll never follow. We talk about what happens when your competitive edge fades, why rejection gets easier only after you’ve eaten enough no’s, and how asking for things opens way more doors than most people realize.From there, this one goes where The Sesh always goes, into the weeds in the best way.We get into parenting, connection, service, letting people help you, networking, sales, social awkwardness, work, masculinity, modern comfort, forgotten skills, religion, change, collapse, and why racing games somehow became therapy.It’s funny, scattered, sharp, and way more honest than polished.What we get into:Why learning can turn into avoidanceAnalysis paralysis and the fear behind overthinkingThe power of simple daily repsWhy asking is a skill most people never buildHow rejection changes youCompetition, drive, and what happens when you lose your edgeService, connection, and why receiving help can be harder than giving itThe value of trades, real-world skills, and uncomfortable growthWhy change feels threatening even though life is literally changeHow racing became meditationA bunch of side quests, because obviouslyThis episode is for you if:You keep “preparing” instead of startingYou’ve been stuck in your head and calling it progressYou miss feeling drivenYou struggle to ask for what you wantYou’re good at helping everyone but yourselfYou like conversations that start in one place and end up somewhere way more interestingOne of the biggest takeaways from this one:A lot of us are not actually stuck because we don’t know enough.We’re stuck because doing the simple thing every day is less exciting than building a new theory about our life.That’s the trap.Listen now, then ask yourself:What’s the thing you already know you need to do, but keep replacing with something more interesting?Send us your thoughts, your feedback, and your suggestions for future episodes of The Sesh.

This episode turned into exactly what Sour OG does best, a real conversation.Not scattered. Not stuck. Just clear, relaxed, and actually present.Sour OG sits right in that middle lane. You feel it in your body, but your head stays online. It’s the kind of strain you smoke when you want to talk something out, get into a flow state, or just be a better version of yourself for a couple hours.We felt relaxed, happy, and weirdly productive. Not couch-locked, not racing, just steady.This is a “go do something” strain.

This one goes everywhere, and honestly, that is what makes it fun.We start with where we were when 9/11 happened, somehow end up in stories from the state hospital, take a hard left into awkward family moments, Utah sex culture, social media brain rot, work stress, gaming, cooking, and the weird ways cannabis helps slow life down enough to actually think.Basically, it is one of those Sesh episodes where the conversation keeps unfolding and somehow still makes sense by the end.Also, Zkittles was along for the ride, and this strain absolutely earned its spot. It kept us relaxed, clearheaded, talkative, and just introspective enough to get honest without going totally off the rails.In this episode we get into:Where we were when 9/11 happenedWhat it was like working in the forensic ward at the state hospitalWhy some childhood and family memories should probably stay buriedUtah, repression, and why nobody gets taught how to communicate about sexHow social media can quietly turn life into something fake and transactionalWhy cannabis can help cut through ego and get you back to what actually mattersThe difference between doing things for numbers vs doing them because they help peopleFood, cooking, convenience, and why feeling good matters more than just being fullGaming rabbit holes, old favorites, and why some new games just are not built the same anymoreWhy good conversation with the right person and the right strain still hits every timeAbout the strain:This episode was powered by Zkittles, and it was a damn good fit.Buzz’s Zkittles out of Utah came in at 21% THC and felt smooth, social, and super easy to ride. It helped take the edge off, loosen up the body, and made this one of those episodes where the conversation just kept flowing.Not too heavy. Not too sleepy. Just one of those strains that makes it easy to sit back, talk, laugh, and actually enjoy where your mind goes.Final thought:Some episodes are polished. Some are planned. And some are just two people following the conversation wherever it wants to go.This one is the third kind.And honestly, those are usually the best ones.Links below.

We sat down with Zkittles from Buzz here in Utah… and ended up doing what this strain does best, getting lost in a real conversation.Not scatterbrained.Not couch-locked.Just dialed in.This one sits in that rare middle ground. You feel relaxed, but your mind is still sharp. You can follow a thought, stay present, and actually enjoy where the conversation goes instead of forgetting what you were saying halfway through.Honestly, it felt like calm and clarity at the same time.What It Feels LikeThis is one of those strains that is tough to label cleanly.You get:A little energyA little body calmA little mood liftA lot of mental clarityIt is not overwhelming in any direction, which is exactly why it works so well.Great for hanging out, catching up, or even talking through real stuff without getting foggy.Flavor + SmellLeans fruity right away. We picked up grapefruit with a sweet citrus edge.Not fake candy sweet, more natural fruit with a little funk behind it.Terpenes (from what we saw at Buzz)Beta-caryophyllene up frontHumuleneLinaloolLimoneneMyrceneThat combo explains a lot of the balanced feel. Calm body, clear head.LineageWhat we saw tied this one to:Grape ApeGrapefruitLike always, strain names can vary depending on who grew it, but that’s the general lane.The ExperienceThis was one of those sessions where time just kind of disappears because you are actually engaged.We went from joking around to real conversations without that weird mental drop-off.It is introspective, but not heavy.Focused, but not intense.Relaxed, but not sleepy.Honestly, this would be a great “talk it out” strain.Quick TakeGood for:ConversationChilling without checking outThinking clearlyLate afternoon or eveningNot ideal if you just want to be knocked out or completely shut your brain off.Final ThoughtZkittles from Buzz is one of those strains that reminds you cannabis does not always have to hit hard to be good.Sometimes it just needs to help you be a little more present.If you are in Utah, this one is worth trying.Let us know what you’re smoking on and what we should try next.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

Three completely different worlds collide in this one.A doctor who walked away from traditional medicine.A nurse who realized she was never taught the full picture.And a Jamaican herbalist who lived cannabis before it was legal and paid the price for it.This episode goes deeper than surface-level cannabis talk.We get into what actually happens when plant medicine meets modern healthcare and why that conversation still makes people uncomfortable.There are prison stories.There are hard truths about the medical system.And there are real questions about what healing actually looks like.The big takeaway is simple:We’ve been looking at this wrong.What We Get Into:Growing up with cannabis before legalizationGetting arrested and still coming back to the plantWhy doctors and nurses are not trained on cannabisThe gap between what we are told and what actually worksPTSD from prohibition and why it still shows upHow cannabis fits into real healthcareWhy one-size-fits-all medicine falls shortThe idea that your body may already be built to use this plantThe Book:Why We Die, How to Live: Beyond Pills & ProceduresThis book breaks down the top causes of death and looks at them through a different lens, one that includes cannabis, lifestyle, and prevention.This is not a one-and-done read. It is something you come back to.Real Talk:This episode is not about hype.It is about asking better questions.Why is cannabis still misunderstoodWho benefits from thatWhat changes when you actually learn instead of just listenGet the Book: https://www.doctorfelecia.comhttps://www.instagram.com/doctorfelecia/Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

What actually makes a strain feel “balanced” instead of just strong?In this episode, we break down Black Triangle, a strain that hits that rare middle ground. You feel it in your body, but your head stays clear. Relaxed without being stuck. Calm without checking out.This is one of those strains that challenges the idea that higher THC automatically means a better experience. Because this one proves it doesn’t.What We Talk About:• Why Black Triangle feels like a true 50/50 hybrid, not just labeled that way• The difference between feeling “high” vs feeling good• How limonene and other terpenes shape the experience more than THC alone• Why this strain makes you more talkative instead of shutting you down• The surprising gap between THC percentage and actual effect• Vaporizer differences and how they impact what you feel• Why some devices hit harder even at the same temperature• A real-world test of how much is “too much” and what that actually feels likeThe Experience (Simple Version):Black Triangle is one of those strains where:• Your body loosens up• Your mind stays sharp• Conversations get easier• You feel present, not spaced outIt is not a couch-lock strain.It is not a jittery head high either.It sits right in the middle and does it well.What Stands Out:The terpene profile matters here.Limonene leads, which likely explains why this feels elevated without anxiety. Then you have support from other cannabinoids like CBD and THCV, which may be helping smooth things out.[Inference] Based on known terpene behavior, this combination leans toward mood support and clarity, not sedation.Who This Is For:• New consumers who want something balanced• Daily users who want to stay functional• Anyone who wants to feel good without feeling goneWhat We’d Skip or Question:There is a moment in this episode where a topical balm is said to cause a strong psychoactive effect.That is not how topicals are generally understood to work.Topicals typically do not enter the bloodstream in a way that causes a full-body high.[Unverified] That experience is anecdotal and likely influenced by other variables, not just the topical itself.Final Take:This is a reminder that cannabis is not about chasing the highest number.It is about how it feels.Black Triangle delivers a calm, clear, social experience that a lot of people are actually looking for but do not know how to describe.Rating: 8/10One of the better balanced hybrids we have had.If you want a strain that helps you stay in the moment without dragging you down or spinning you out, this is one worth trying.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

Some episodes start with a plan.This one absolutely did not.In this episode of The Sesh, Brandon and Jesse light up a bowl of E85 and end up going everywhere. Money stress, bad jobs, business lessons, friendships, pain relief, and the strange way cannabis turns random conversations into meaningful ones.Along the way they break down the strain they’re smoking, share a simple cannabis pain balm recipe, and get into a surprisingly deep conversation about trust, relationships, and why most successful businesses run on one thing: people.Sometimes the best conversations are the ones you never planned to have.And cannabis has a funny way of opening those doors.WHAT WE TALK ABOUT​ The strain E85 and why it hits like a gassy, happy hybrid​ Wedding Cake lineage and how it shapes the experience​ Why joints still feel different from vapes and dabs​ The communal ritual of passing a joint​ Financial stress and digging out of debt​ Learning business through failure​ Why relationship-based sales beats transactional sales​ The idea of “orbit building” and networking through trust​ How friendships become the most valuable currency in life​ Making a simple cannabis pain balm at home​ Why cannabis keeps bringing people togetherSTRAIN REVIEWStrain: E85Genetics: Wedding Cake × Project 5146Type: HybridFlavor ProfileGassySweetCreamyReported EffectsHappyRelaxedSocialUpliftedWhy it stood out in this episode:E85 starts with a noticeable gassy kick but settles into a smooth, happy high that keeps the conversation flowing.

Not all gassy strains come in hot and punch you in the throat.This week on Cannabis School, we break down E85 from Buzz, a gas-forward flower that is way smoother and more balanced than the name might make you think. No, it does not hit like the worst gas station decision you could make for your car. This one is actually pretty damn nice.Using the Storz & Bickel Volcano, we found E85 to be smooth, mild on flavor, and surprisingly easy to enjoy for a gas strain. The aroma leans gassy, but it is not an over-the-top diesel bomb. The flavor stays pretty mellow, and the whole ride feels more polished than harsh.Where this strain really starts to stand out is in the cannabinoid and terpene profile.Top Terpenes:LimoneneBeta-CaryophylleneLinaloolAlpha-PineneBeta-PineneNotable Cannabinoids:CBGA: 10.2 mg/gCBG: 1 mg/gCBD: 0.9 mg/gThat combo matters.Higher CBG and CBGA levels can be especially interesting for people looking at cannabis for daytime pain support, especially in colder months when joints start acting like they are collecting rent. This episode gets into exactly that, how certain strains can help with pain without dropping you on the couch, and why those minor cannabinoids deserve a lot more attention than they usually get.We also get into topicals, homemade balm, tinctures, dabs, vaporizing, and why finding the right cannabis protocol is about way more than just smoking flower and hoping for the best.What We Talk About in This Episode:Buzz E85 and why it is smoother than most gas strainsWhy limonene, caryophyllene, linalool, and pinene make this one interestingHow CBG and CBGA can matter for daytime pain reliefWhy winter makes aches and inflammation hit differentHomemade cannabis balm and the very real impact topicals can haveWhy vaporizing can completely change the experience of a strainThe role of set, setting, and conversation in how a strain landsWhy some strains hit better solo and others shine sociallyConcentrates, tinctures, and dialing in cannabis beyond just flowerUtah cannabis laws and the weirdness around flower, flame, and enforcementHow E85 Felt for Us:This one came across as:EnergeticHappyCreativeFocusedChattySocialSmoothIt has enough lift to keep you engaged, enough calm to stay comfortable, and enough clarity that it feels useful instead of foggy. That makes it a really solid option for a Saturday strain, a social strain, or even a daytime work strain depending on what you are doing.It is not sleepy.It is not heavy.It is not one of those gas strains that makes you regret the inhale.It is just smooth, functional, and easy to like.Best Fit For:Daytime useSocial hangsSaturday errands and projectsCreative sessionsPeople looking for a smoother gas strainConsumers curious about CBG-rich flowerThings to Note:Heavy cottonmouth showed upSlight dry eyesSmooth vapor, very little coughingMild gas flavor, not overpoweringE85 from Buzz is one of those strains that reminds you why looking past THC percentage and into terpenes and cannabinoids actually matters. It is smooth, chatty, mood-lifting, and has enough pain-support potential to make it especially interesting for daytime consumers.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

In this episode of The Sesh, we’re posted up with Sour OG, and we go full rabbit hole, in the best way.We start with Castlevania, metroidvania obsession, Switch OLED upgrades, and why older games still hit harder than half the “new” stuff coming out. Then it turns into a real talk about why people feel more isolated than ever, why connecting feels harder than it should, and why getting comfortable being uncomfortable is basically a cheat code for life.We also get into Days Gone, Zelda, Ghost Recon no-HUD chaos, Ready or Not, British shows, revenge movies that actually slap, and why laughter might be the most underrated mental reset we have.Question for the comments, what’s your favorite random non-US movie or TV show?Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

This week on Cannabis School, we break down Stink by Dragonfly Wellness, a 30% THC Utah medical cannabis flower that hits harder in the lungs than you expect and slower in the head than you think.We cover the cure, dryness level, aroma, and terpene profile, including limonene, beta-caryophyllene, and beta-pinene, and how that combination translates into a peppery, fuel-forward inhale. Big hits will check your ego. Smaller pulls are the move.The onset is slow. Then it builds.Stink lands in a weird middle space. Not sleepy. Not productive. Not locked in. It’s a heady, floaty high with tension in the shoulders and jaw, a subtle spine awareness, and a reflective mental state that makes deep focus hard but self-awareness stronger.This is not your “clean the house” strain.Not your “crush emails” strain.Not your “party with friends” strain.This feels more like:• A solo hike strain• A grounding, barefoot-in-the-yard strain• A disconnect-from-your-phone strain• A slow down to speed up strainWe also talk about how THC percentage does not automatically equal stronger effects, why 18% strains can sometimes outperform 30% flower, and how terpene structure matters more than raw numbers.If you’re searching for:Dragonfly Wellness strain reviewsStink strain reviewUtah medical cannabis flower30% THC cannabis effectsHigh THC heady strainsThis episode gives you the honest breakdown, not hype.As always, start low, know your body, and pay attention to how your endocannabinoid system responds.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

Brandon and Jesse talk concentrates, edible tolerance, and what happens when you take 250mg of Apple Fritter before watching a movie that definitely is not that funny… until it is. They break down how different consumption methods actually feel in real time, from “behind the eyes” pressure to full-body giggles.But then the conversation shifts.They get into cannabis history, why Napoleon reportedly banned his army from smoking in Egypt, and how weed doesn’t exactly inspire battlefield aggression. From there, it turns into a bigger conversation about the scientific method, celebrity scientists, and why real innovation usually comes from the quiet builders nobody talks about.The back half of the episode moves into something deeper. Handwritten letters. Navy memories. Physical mail. Human connection. The idea of Cannabis School pen pals. Why writing something down might be one of the most honest ways to say what you actually feel.It is classic Sesh energy. Funny, unfiltered, reflective, and unexpectedly thoughtful.In this episode we talk about:• Dabbing vs flower and how concentrates hit differently• Taking 250mg of edibles and what that experience actually feels like• Purple Platinum Jager and Apple Fritter effects• Cannabis in world history and Napoleon’s Egypt campaign• Why weed does not exactly make you want to fight• The scientific method and celebrity culture• Handwritten letters and deeper human connection• The idea of Cannabis School pen palsThis episode is less about being right and more about being real. Just two friends, some concentrates, and a conversation that moves from giggles to meaning without forcing it.If you’ve ever had one of those nights where cannabis opens up something deeper than you expected, this one will feel familiar.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

In this Cannabis School strain episode, we review John Truffolta from Dragonfly Wellness, vaporized through the Volcano Hybrid, and break it down the way we always do: genetics, cannabinoids, terpenes, effects, and overall value.GENETICSGelato x Truffle Cake S1 #5 x Blueberry SugarThat lineage suggests sweet, dessert-style flavor with hybrid balance and a slight sativa lean depending on dose.CANNABINOIDSThis batch tested around 26% THC. For Dragonfly, that’s actually on the lower end of what they usually carry.CBD was very low.Minor cannabinoids present in small amounts.Translation: THC-forward. Dose absolutely matters.TERPENESDominant terpenes on this batch:CaryophylleneLimoneneHumuleneCaryophyllene explains the peppery bite and mild body relief.Limonene contributes to the subtle uplift.Humulene brings earthy sharpness.Even with humulene present, this one absolutely triggered munchies for us.APPEARANCE + FLAVORBag appeal was strong. Dense nugs, heavy trichomes, sweet candy notes with a sharp, peppery finish.The issue was dryness.Harvest date was September, with packaging and testing months later. By the time we picked it up, it was noticeably dry. That impacts flavor, vapor quality, and smoothness. Dry flower cooks faster and can feel harsher.EFFECTSAdvertised as happy, focused, relaxed.Our experience:Mild mental liftSubtle body easeLight pressure behind the eyesVery manageable for beginnersNoticeable munchiesNot overwhelming.Not deeply sedating.Not intensely euphoric.This is a “Stayin’ Alive” strain. Functional. Social. Easy to smoke all weekend.PAIN + FUNCTIONFor mild shoulder and back tension, it took the edge off without knocking us out. Gaming felt smooth. Social interaction felt easy. Mental noise quieted without fog.RATINGSBrandon: 3 out of 5Jesse: 3 out of 5Would we smoke it again? Yes.Would we pay full price? Probably not. Better value on sale.WHO IT’S FORNewer patientsDaytime useMild painSocial settingsAnyone who wants subtle over intenseWHO MIGHT SKIP ITHigh tolerance users chasing heavy euphoriaPeople expecting strong body sedationAnyone sensitive to dry, harsher flowerAs always, strain names are marketing.

What happens when you stop trying to control life and actually listen to it?In this Sesh episode, we sit down with Mary Ellen Lorello and let the conversation go where it wants to go. No stiff interview energy. No surface-level bios. Just a real back-and-forth about intuition, healing, identity, and the uncomfortable spaces people usually skip over.This isn’t a “tell us about your business” episode.It’s a who are you really, and how did you become that person conversation.We talk about:• What intuition actually feels like versus what people think it is• The difference between spiritual language and lived experience• How trauma, belief systems, and identity shape the choices we make• Why so many people feel disconnected from themselves• What it means to trust your own inner voiceThere are moments in this episode where things slow down. Where the questions sit a little longer. Where the answers aren’t polished, they’re honest.That’s what The Sesh is built for.Mary Ellen doesn’t come in trying to impress anyone. She shares her path, the pivots, the realizations, and the uncomfortable truths that shaped her. And we challenge ideas where they need to be challenged. Respectfully. Thoughtfully. But honestly.This episode lives in the gray.If you’ve ever felt like you’re supposed to have it all figured out but don’t, this one hits. If you’ve ever wrestled with your own belief systems, this one hits. If you’re curious about intuition but skeptical of fluff, this one definitely hits.The Sesh is where we let conversations breathe.No scripts. No performance. Just humans trying to understand themselves a little better.https://www.naturalwellnessacademy.orghttps://www.instagram.com/thebalancedgourmetKeep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

What is Pure Michigan actually built to do?Pure Michigan is not a “wake up and conquer the world” strain. It’s usually a heavy hybrid that leans indica in feel, built more for depth than sparkle.This cultivar is commonly bred from Oreoz x Mendo Breath, which already tells you something. Both parents are known for dense structure, rich flavor, and body-forward effects.From Beehive Farmacy, batch specifics always matter, so check your label. But here’s what Pure Michigan typically looks like chemically.• THC often in the high teens to mid 20 percent range• Very low CBD• Minor cannabinoids like CBG sometimes present in small amountsTranslation: this is THC dominant. If your tolerance is low, it can get heavy fast. This is not a microdose-first strain unless you intentionally keep it that way.Common dominant terpenes in Pure Michigan:• Caryophyllene• Myrcene• LimoneneCaryophyllene is the spicy, peppery terpene that also interacts with CB2 receptors, often associated with body relief.Myrcene leans sedating in higher concentrations.Limonene can add a slight mood lift or brightness.When myrcene and caryophyllene sit high together, you usually get that “deep exhale” body experience. Muscles loosen. Thoughts slow. The edges soften.Not guaranteed. But that’s the tendency.At moderate doses:• Strong body relaxation• Slower mental pace• Warm, heavy calm• Possible couch gravityAt higher doses:• Sleep pressure• Brain fog• Hard pivot into “I’m done for the night”This is typically not a strain people use for high productivity. It leans evening. Recovery. Decompression.Who is this for:• People looking to wind down• Evening use• Body tension• High stress daysWho should be cautious:• Anyone sensitive to sedation• Anyone needing mental sharpness• New consumers jumping straight into large dosesThe real takeaway here is this: Pure Michigan is more about weight than sparkle. If you’re chasing heavy body calm, it usually delivers. If you’re chasing clarity and energy, this probably isn’t your lane.And like we always say, strain names are branding. The batch chemistry is the truth. Always read the COA. Always start lower than you think.Utah cannabis makes more sense when you stop chasing names and start reading numbers.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

This Sesh starts with tone.Not podcast tone. Not branding tone. Real-life tone.The kind that turns “I’m fine” into a full-blown argument.We get into how much of our conflict isn’t about what was said… it’s about how we heard it. And how much of that is just our own insecurity filling in the blanks.Then it spirals, in the best way.We talk about success. Not the Instagram version. The real version.Is it money? Status? A title?Or is it being at peace driving a beat-up car and actually liking your life?We bring up people like Logan Paul and Keanu Reeves and why one gets constant heat while the other feels untouchable. Is it fame? Or is it how they carry themselves?There’s a story about generosity that hit hard. The kind that makes you want to level up as a human. Not for clout. Not for applause. Just because someone showed up for you when you needed it.We also call ourselves out for hiding behind phones, projecting our own fears onto other people’s tone, and chasing goals we never actually defined.This one feels like a therapy session disguised as a casual hang.No big cannabis science breakdown this week.

In this Utah strain review, we sit down with Cap Junky from Dragonfly and do what we always do, slow it down, smell it, smoke it, question it, and talk honestly about how it actually feels.Cap Junky is a hybrid made from Alien Cookies and Kush Mints, and on paper it looks intense. High THC, loud genetics, and numbers that usually scare people off. What surprised us is how smooth and controlled the experience actually was.We talk about the dryness a lot of Utah flower picks up in winter, how packaging dates matter more than strain hype, and why climate plays a bigger role than most people realize. We also compare Dragonfly flower to Beehive’s bud straight out of the bag and break down why “sticky” isn’t the same thing as “good.”The high itself is mostly heady and light, not overpowering, no chest tightness, no racing heart, no panic. A big part of that comes down to terpenes like limonene and a noticeable amount of CBG, which helps mellow the ride and smooth out the edges of a higher THC strain.We also get into why THC percentage alone is a bad buying strategy, how terpene profiles tell you more about how a strain will feel, and why some high THC flower can feel calmer than lower percentage options.This episode is part strain review, part Utah cannabis reality check, and part reminder that intent matters more than numbers.Strain notesHybridHigh THC, smooth experienceHead-focused, light body feelNoticeable limonene and CBGCalm, controlled, and surprisingly chillIf you’re in Utah and you’ve tried Cap Junky, or if you’ve had wildly different experiences with the same strain depending on brand or batch, let us know.

This one felt like catching up with an old friend you’ve never actually met in person.Kyle Trevor has been part of the Cannabis School orbit for a long time. Messaging us, asking questions, listening to episodes on repeat, and genuinely getting what this show is about. So having him on The Sesh felt less like an interview and more like finally pulling up a chair together.We talk about music, creativity, and what it looks like to grow alongside your art instead of trying to force it into something it’s not. Kyle opens up about his relationship with cannabis, how it shifted over time, and how intention and dosing completely change the experience. Not chasing being “stoned,” just wanting to feel present, connected, and okay in his own head.There’s a real conversation here about trauma, forced introspection, and how cannabis can sometimes bring things to the surface before you’re ready. We don’t dress it up. We talk about backing off when you need to, respecting the plant, and listening to your body instead of muscling through an experience because you think you’re supposed to.We also get into the weirdness of wearing your identity out in public, merch, art, judgment, Utah culture, and those moments where strangers either glare at you or light up because they feel seen. That tension between expression and perception shows up everywhere, especially when you’re making something honest.By the end, this episode lands in a really grounded place. Cannabis as a tool, not a crutch. Creativity as a long game. Growth as something that rarely looks clean while you’re inside of it.If you’ve ever felt like cannabis helped you reconnect, then challenged you, then asked you to slow down and reassess, this one will hit home.Go check out Kyle’s music, follow his journey, and sit with this conversation for a bit. It’s a good one.Listen to Kyle TrevorFollow Kyle TrevorKeep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

Halle Berry from Betty Wellness is one of those strains that doesn’t kick the door in right away. It takes its time, then quietly settles in and makes you realize you’re smiling, relaxed, and way more comfortable than you expected.First thing you notice is the look. These nugs are straight purple. Not hints of purple. Not accents. Just deep, rich purple all the way through. One of the most visually striking Utah flowers we’ve seen, easily in the same conversation as Tropicana Cherries, but darker and more uniform.The flower leaned a little dry, likely storage or packaging related, but even with that, the smoke was surprisingly smooth. No harsh bite, no instant throat grab. Across a few different pieces, it stayed easy and clean.Terpene wise, this one is led by limonene, followed by linalool, beta-caryophyllene, myrcene, and humulene. Translation, this is not a panic strain. The experience came on slow and even, with light facial tingles, a relaxed jaw, and a very clear headspace.Genetically, Halle Berry is bred from Ice Cream Cake × Blockberry. You’ll sometimes hear Blockberry casually called Blackberry, but the official Utah listing for Betty’s cut specifies Blockberry. The genetics show up more in the overall vibe than in-your-face flavor.Flavor stays subtle. Slightly peppery, a little earthy, nothing loud or perfumey. This is not a strain that tries to impress your nose, it wins on how it feels.THC sits around 18 percent, which matters here. This strain doesn’t rely on brute force. It’s balanced, approachable, and forgiving. No racing heart. No anxiety spike. No couch lock either.As the session went on, it turned into a sneaky euphoric creeper. Floaty head, relaxed body, calm arms, and a general “everything’s fine” feeling. There was even mild pain relief without the heaviness that usually comes with that territory.This is a strain we’d confidently hand to someone newer, someone sensitive, or someone who just wants to feel good without getting wrecked.

This Sesh with Lily Lane is one of those conversations that sneaks up on you. It starts light, funny, a little chaotic in the best way, and then somewhere along the line you realize you’re talking about identity, pressure, creativity, and what it actually feels like to grow into yourself while people are watching.Lily comes in as Lily, not a brand, not a product pitch, not a polished “artist story.” We talk about growing up creative, what it’s like to outgrow versions of yourself that other people are still attached to, and how uncomfortable it can be to decide you’re allowed to change. There’s laughter, a little self-deprecation, and a lot of honesty about the weird space between who you were and who you’re becoming.Cannabis shows up the way it often does on The Sesh, not as the headline, but as part of real life. We talk about how it fits into creativity, relaxation, and being present, without pretending it’s some magic answer or personality trait. Just another tool, another lens, another choice people relate to differently.We also get into music, writing, and what it’s like to make things that actually mean something to you, even when that means letting go of expectations. Lily talks about her relationship with her own voice, both literally and metaphorically, and what it takes to trust it more now than she did before.This episode isn’t about hype or hustle. It’s about becoming more honest with yourself, learning how to sit with discomfort, and finding your way back to play, curiosity, and joy, even when life feels loud.If you’ve ever felt caught between who you used to be and who you’re trying to become, this one’s going to land.Listen To Lily LaneLily Lane SocialKeep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

Blue Steel is one of those strains that doesn’t try to impress you by knocking you over. It just quietly shows up, does its job, and lets you stay human.This episode is a solo run with Brandon holding things down while Jesse recovers, and it ends up being a really honest, grounded walkthrough of a strain that feels more like a tool than a party trick.Blue Steel is an indica-dominant hybrid that usually lands in the lower THC range, roughly 16–18 percent. In a market obsessed with chasing the highest number on the label, this one goes the opposite direction, and that’s kind of the point.This episode explores Blue Steel in concentrate form, not flower, with a lot of attention paid to flavor, sensation, and how the effects actually unfold over time instead of all at once.Right out of the gate, the terpene profile makes itself known. Piney up front, with myrcene and beta-caryophyllene leading the charge. The flavor comes through fruity at first, then settles into something deeper and peppery on the exhale. It’s noticeable, but not harsh, especially when dabbed at lower temperatures.The effects come on gently. Brandon describes it as a light dusting across the head rather than a heavy fog. Even though it’s indica dominant, there’s no haziness, no mental slowdown, and no derailment of your thoughts. The headspace stays clear and focused, while the body eases up, especially across the shoulders and back.As it settles in, Blue Steel shows its personality. Relaxed, subtle, quietly uplifting. It doesn’t push you toward the couch, and it doesn’t shove you into your own head. It feels functional. Present. Calm.This is framed as a daytime strain, especially for people who still want to get things done. For Brandon, who deals with chronic pain, it takes the sharp edge off without stealing attention or motivation. No chest pressure. No head pressure. No tightness. Just a smoother baseline.The episode also turns into a really practical conversation about dabs, dosing, and why concentrates don’t have to mean getting obliterated. There’s a clear explanation of why low-temperature dabbing preserves flavor and experience, how tiny amounts go a long way, and why pens can sometimes deliver inconsistent effects over time due to repeated heating and cooling.One of the most important takeaways here is that dabbing isn’t about taking massive globs or chasing intensity. It’s about control. Temperature control, dose control, and experience control.Blue Steel ends up being described as a genuinely beginner-friendly strain. Low THC, roughly around one percent CBG depending on the grower, and commonly used for pain, stress, and anxiety. It doesn’t overwhelm or amplify anxious thoughts. Instead, it softens whatever edge you walked in with.This is the kind of strain you could use while working, hanging out with friends, or easing into cannabis if you’re newer or more sensitive to higher THC products. It’s calm without being dull, relaxing without being sedating, and clear-headed without being stimulating.Not flashy. Not aggressive. Just steady, pleasant, and effective.Sometimes that’s exactly what you need.Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

This episode feels like sitting in a garage with friends who are equal parts curious, sarcastic, and done pretending there’s one “right” way to use cannabis.Louise drops in and immediately turns the whole thing into a real conversation, not a lecture. From joking about consumption methods to breaking down what actually works for her body, this episode moves through humor, trial-and-error, and the quiet reality that cannabis hits everyone differently.We talk about chasing that one strain that glued you to the couch years ago and never showed up again, why people swear something “does nothing” for them until it suddenly does, and how experimenting responsibly is usually the missing piece when someone says cannabis isn’t for them.Louise also opens up about learning dabs the hard way, why bubble hash surprised her, and how fats, timing, and microdosing can completely change the experience. There’s an honest conversation about edibles, why they don’t always hit, and how tolerance sneaks up on you without asking permission.Somewhere between laughing about old podcast chaos, reminiscing on unhinged guest moments, and swapping real-life tips for heartburn, nausea, and dose control, this episode lands exactly where The Sesh lives, messy, funny, curious, and grounded in real experiences, not cannabis myths.If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe I’m doing this wrong,” or “Why does everyone else feel this but I don’t,” this one’s for you.What We Get IntoWhy cannabis experiences are wildly individualDabs vs live rosin vs bubble hash, what actually feels differentThe strain you’ll never forget and why you can’t find it againHow fats and timing change how THC hitsMicrodosing, tolerance, and why edibles can feel brokenLearning through bad experiences and helping others avoid themWhy the least professional podcasts are sometimes the best onesAbout The SeshThe Sesh is where Cannabis School loosens the tie, lights up, and just talks.
