Cannabis School

Welcome back to Cannabis School! This week’s Sesh begins with Brandon discovering that his mom shared the podcast with someone who recently started working in human resources for a cannabis retailer.
Apparently, Cannabis School is becoming an unexpected educational resource—which is exciting and slightly terrifying when you remember how quickly these conversations can leave the classroom.
Brandon and Jesse settle into the session with a custom cannabis combination: Novarine by Find Cannabis mixed with Black Triangle. The vapor feels dry on the throat, but the combination produces a strong, relaxing experience that the guys decide to call Deep Diver.
The conversation takes a serious turn as Brandon and Jesse discuss trauma, survival responses, personal growth, and the different ways people process difficult experiences. They talk about compassion, observation, professional therapy, and why healing does not follow a universal schedule.
From there, the discussion moves into tall tales, invented identities, military stories, and the possibility that some people create elaborate versions of themselves to protect—or escape—the person underneath.
Once the Deep Diver combination fully arrives, the Sesh becomes considerably less focused. The guys revisit Robin Williams’ unpredictable comedy, discuss common misconceptions about stimulant drugs, and share cautionary stories about past substance use and poor decisions.
Jesse recalls an early-2000s experience involving friends, an old manual Honda Civic, one enormous mistake, and a very close encounter with a fire hydrant. It is a funny story in hindsight, but also a clear example of how quickly impaired decisions can become dangerous.
This is a classic Cannabis School Sesh: thoughtful, personal, funny, occasionally uncomfortable, and intended for mature audiences.

The Sesh: Trauma, Tall Tales & the Deep Diver Combo

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. Think funky feet, Indian spices, flowers, earth, and a little sweetness hiding underneath everything else. The vapor starts sharp and floral, while the buds have orange pistils, visible trichomes, and a clean—but fairly dry—appearance.
The Find Cannabis batch reviewed in this episode was labeled at approximately 26.76% THC and included several minor cannabinoids. That higher potency is another reminder to read the package in front of you: cannabinoid levels can vary considerably between growers and batches, even when the strain name stays the same.
Novarine comes on fast. At first, we experienced a bright headspace, increased alertness, restless energy, and pressure around the temples, jaw, and neck. It stopped just short of feeling anxious and never caused a noticeably racing heart. As the session continued, that physical tension faded and the experience became calmer, slower, and surprisingly relaxing.
Is Novarine good for daytime use? It could be—especially for experienced consumers who want energetic effects for chores, movement, exercise, or another physical activity. We were less convinced about using it for complicated mental work because the early restlessness needed somewhere to go.
At roughly $44 for an eighth, Novarine was not a bargain, but it was not outrageous for Utah either. The dry flower and uncomfortable opening kept it from becoming an everyday favorite, but its funky profile and dramatic shift from energy to relaxation made it memorable.
Would we hunt it down every time? Probably not.
Would we be mad if it randomly landed in the stash again? Not at all.
In this episode:
• Novarine’s Caprichosa Thai and Thai landrace genetics
• THC, THCV, minor cannabinoids, and batch variation
• Funky, spicy, floral, and earthy aromas
• Vaporizing Novarine versus smoking it
• Its fast sativa onset and calmer finish
• Temple pressure, jaw tension, and restless energy
• Terpenes, flower quality, dryness, and trimming
• Old-school genetics versus modern dessert strains
• Whether Novarine is worth buying in Utah
• Def Leppard, Corvettes, and the usual Cannabis School detours

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 best of both worlds: an alert mind, a relaxed body, easy conversation, and plenty of flavor.
Along the way, they explore how each flower contributes to the experience, why cannabinoid and terpene profiles can matter more than THC percentage alone, and how changing a blend’s ratio can completely change its effects. The conversation also wanders through mindful consumption, vaporizing versus smoking joints, gaming, creativity, and why the right cannabis combo can make a social activity even more enjoyable.

The final verdict? Half Halle Berry and half Super Lemon G produced a sweet, citrusy, berry-lemonade flavor with an elevated mood, gentle physical relaxation, creative energy, and a clear enough head to enjoy the moment.

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 catching yourself before you respond and asking, “Am I helping right now, or am I just trying to be right?”
We also talk about creating spaces where people can connect without all the usual labels, how cannabis helped teach us patience, why self-awareness isn’t about “fixing” who you are, and what it looks like to put your beliefs into practice through honesty, kindness, and service.
Because being right doesn’t mean much if you lose the person in front of you.
