Cannabis School

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 pals

This 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.

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.

GENETICS
Gelato x Truffle Cake S1 #5 x Blueberry Sugar

That lineage suggests sweet, dessert-style flavor with hybrid balance and a slight sativa lean depending on dose.

CANNABINOIDS
This 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.

TERPENES
Dominant terpenes on this batch:
Caryophyllene
Limonene
Humulene

Caryophyllene 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 + FLAVOR
Bag 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.

EFFECTS
Advertised as happy, focused, relaxed.

Our experience:
Mild mental lift
Subtle body ease
Light pressure behind the eyes
Very manageable for beginners
Noticeable munchies

Not overwhelming.
Not deeply sedating.
Not intensely euphoric.

This is a “Stayin’ Alive” strain. Functional. Social. Easy to smoke all weekend.

PAIN + FUNCTION
For 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.

RATINGS
Brandon: 3 out of 5
Jesse: 3 out of 5

Would we smoke it again? Yes.
Would we pay full price? Probably not. Better value on sale.

WHO IT’S FOR
Newer patients
Daytime use
Mild pain
Social settings
Anyone who wants subtle over intense

WHO MIGHT SKIP IT
High tolerance users chasing heavy euphoria
People expecting strong body sedation
Anyone sensitive to dry, harsher flower

As always, strain names are marketing. Chemistry plus dose equals experience. Always check your batch label. Always start lower than you think.

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 voice

There 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.

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 amounts

Translation: 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
• Limonene

Caryophyllene 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 gravity

At 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 days

Who should be cautious:
• Anyone sensitive to sedation
• Anyone needing mental sharpness
• New consumers jumping straight into large doses

The 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.

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. Just two dudes trying to figure out how to communicate better, live lighter, and stop overcomplicating everything.

Keep the Mic on.
Fuel the movement. Keep the conversation going.
