Cannabis School

This week’s Sesh starts with business lessons that usually only come after failing a few times. We talk about why trying to do everything yourself eventually becomes the bottleneck, and how the right partnerships let people focus on what they actually do best. From there, the conversation takes its usual detour through movies, gaming, construction, motorcycles, camping, cannabis, and a surprising...

Candy strains can be hit or miss. Some lean all-in on flavor but leave the effects feeling flat. Others bring the gas but lose the sweetness. Candy Fumez manages to walk the middle. This week we’re checking out  Candy Fumez  from  Find by Tryke , a hybrid bred from  Zkittlez × Sherbanger . It brings together candy-forward terpenes with a little fuel, citrus, and earthy funk to create a strain that...

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...

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, softene...

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 na...

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 upliftin...

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...

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 f...

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 wee...

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 t...

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 pai...

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...

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 w...

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 combinati...

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...

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...

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 conversati...

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 strai...

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 connec...

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 op...

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 da...

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, c...

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, a...

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 th...

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 need...
