Cannabis School

This week’s Sesh starts with old-school video games and ends with a Mexico story that escalates way past “we should probably find our friend.” In between? Strict parents, forbidden cartoons, questionable movie nights, and a very important question: was that childhood favorite actually good, or were you just twelve? With Midtown Haze in the Volcano, we revisit the chaos of Manhunt , the love for Sp...

Some strains get you talking. Midtown Haze apparently gets us building a whole Patrick Swayze cinematic universe before we’ve even finished the introduction. Welcome to Cannabis School. This week, we’re firing up the Volcano and spending some quality time with Midtown Haze . Big, squishy buds, citrus on the first pull, and woody, earthy aromas have our attention—but how does it actually feel? For...

Ever feel like a few puffs turned you into a creative genius… then one more bowl sent you straight into “oh shit” territory? Yeah. We’ve been there. This week on Cannabis School, Jesse and Brandon explore those moments when cannabis makes you feel more focused, more present, and a little more like the superhero in your own movie. Jesse’s Tropicana Cherries story kicks things off with a twelve-page...

We missed a week, came back, and apparently had some shit to work through. This sesh starts with Mormon cartoons and whether carrying gold plates into battle requires superhero strength. Somehow, we end up talking about faith, family, forgiveness, and the stories we keep telling ourselves about who we are. GMO Cookies may have helped with the detours. We get personal about growing up in very diffe...

You wanted to chill. Your heart apparently signed up for cardio. This week on Cannabis School, we’re talking about that uncomfortable moment when your heart starts pounding, you notice every damn beat, and suddenly your smartwatch has your undivided attention. Jesse and Brandon share their own experiences with racing hearts, anxious highs, and familiar products that suddenly felt very different. W...

Nuclear Muffins sounds like it should launch you into another dimension. This batch? More like a weighted blanket for your brain. This week on Cannabis School, Jesse and Brandon dig into a strain that sneaks up slowly and gets the conversation rolling. We’re talking light, fruity flavor, squishy buds, and a high we found calm, clear, and surprisingly suited to getting creative. The number on this...

Birthday brisket, busted controllers, and Batman needing a day job. Yep, it’s that kind of sesh. This week, we’re hanging out with Nuclear Muffin and GMO Cookies, bouncing from pool-party chaos and a rainy motorcycle ride into a surprisingly real conversation: why the hell are we all in such a hurry to be first? First in traffic. First to talk. First to prove we’re right. Somewhere between the shi...

You’ve probably seen ocimene on a label and moved right past it. What the hell is it, and what does it bring to your flower? This week, we’re getting into another terp, talking through ocimene’s woody, sweet, herbal notes and why plants produce these compounds in the first place. Because apparently plants have a whole lot of shit going on, and making your weed smell good is only part of this conve...

Welcome back, kids. Your eyes are red, your mouth is dry, and suddenly that cheesecake you don’t even like sounds pretty fucking good. What’s up with that? This week, we’re getting into three cannabis experiences most of us know a little too well: red eyes, cottonmouth, and wanting to eat everything in sight. We talk about THC, CB1 receptors, and what might be going on behind those familiar feelin...

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 becoming much more earthy, musky, and slightly piney in the vaporizer. If you’re expecting a mouthful of gra...

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 strain doesn’t automatically mean you’ll be unconscious ten minutes later. Its concentration, the other terp...

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 newer consumers to attack like heroes. Go low and slow. For experienced consumers, though, Papa Burger d...

This sesh starts with dispensaries, sticky flower, budtenders, and our plans for Cannabis School........and somehow ends with us examining our emotional baggage. You know, the usual. We talk about why cannabis is better as a shared experience, the difference between reacting and responding, and what happens when your intentions collide with somebody else’s perception. Sometimes the person in front...

Welcome back to Cannabis School! Today, Brandon and Jesse review Blue Lobster by Grassroots , an indica-leaning hybrid currently swimming around Utah’s medical cannabis market. A member of the Cannabis School community helped make this review possible, so thank you for supporting the show and giving us another strain to break down! Blue Lobster crosses Apples and Bananas with Eye Candy . The batch...

Welcome to the Land of the Terps! Cannabis School 101 is officially back, and this time Brandon and Jesse are going deeper than the usual THC percentage and strain name. Today’s lesson focuses on nerolidol , a minor terpene found in cannabis and aromatic plants such as jasmine, lemongrass, tea tree, ginger, and orange blossom. It is not usually one of the largest numbers on a cannabis label, but t...

Welcome back to Cannabis School! Today, Brandon and Jesse review Cheee of Bandits by Pure Plan , a mysterious Utah cannabis strain with an unusual name and an experience that is even harder to explain. Despite what the name suggests, this flower does not arrive with an overwhelming cheese aroma. Instead, it produces a surprisingly sweet smell that becomes even more impressive as the vaporizer begi...

Welcome back to Cannabis School! This week’s Sesh begins with a simple idea that opens the door to a much bigger conversation: people are people, and life may be better when we stop treating every issue like a team sport. Brandon and Jesse explore the labels we place on ourselves and others. A label may help explain part of your experience, but it can also become a box—a reason to believe you cann...

Welcome back to Cannabis School! Today, Brandon and Jesse revisit one of their longtime favorites: GMO Cookies , also known as GMO or Garlic Cookies. Created from Girl Scout Cookies and Chemdog genetics , GMO has become a building block for countless modern cannabis crosses. There is a reason it keeps returning to the rotation: the flavor is unmistakable, the experience is reliable, and even after...

Welcome back to Cannabis School! This week’s Sesh begins with Brandon discovering that his mom shared the podcast with someone who recently started working in human resources for a cannabis retailer. Apparently, Cannabis School is becoming an unexpected educational resource—which is exciting and slightly terrifying when you remember how quickly these conversations can leave the classroom. Brandon...

Welcome back to Cannabis School! Today, Brandon and Jesse review Novarine by Find Cannabis , a sativa-dominant flower available in Utah’s medical cannabis market. Novarine crosses Caprichosa Thai with a THCV-rich Thai landrace , giving it old-school genetics and an experience far removed from the sweet dessert strains filling dispensary shelves. The aroma is one of the strangest we’ve encountered....

See you Tuesday

Welcome to class! Today, Brandon and Jesse head back to the cannabis kitchen to create a custom combo they’re calling Sweet Berry Lemonade . The recipe starts with two very different flowers: the dark, funky, berry-forward Halle Berry by Betty and the bright, citrusy Super Lemon G from Dragonfly Brand Zero . After experimenting with the proportions, the guys land on a 50/50 blend that delivers the...

This Sesh starts with an idea for building better connections and ends up going somewhere much deeper: ego, self-awareness, faith, service, judgment, and the difference between talking about love and actually living it. We get into why people prejudge each other, how those snap judgments create friction, and what happens when you stop trying to win every interaction. Sometimes growth is simply cat...

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. They break down its deep purple-and-blue flower, orange hairs, heavy trichome coverage, sweet aroma, and...
