Cannabis School

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 fritters
Jesse’s tragic grinder incident
Why “failure” might be the wrong word
The business ideas weed gives you at the exact wrong time
Cannabis School Café (investors, call us 😂)
Learning from expensive mistakes
How misunderstanding creates relationship friction
Brandon realizing what he actually nerds out about
Random tangents because… obviously
If you’ve ever had a conversation that started with weed and somehow ended with life advice, this one’s for you.

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-Caryophyllene
Limonene
Alpha-Pinene
Beta-Pinene
Cannabinoid profile included trace amounts of:
Delta-9 THC, THCV-A, CBG, CBC-A, CBD-A, and CBG-A
Translation? 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?
Happy
Relaxed
Focused
Mild pain relief
Would 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.

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 now
Whether college is still worth it
Mike Rowe, dirty jobs, and overlooked careers
Why so many people feel disconnected from the work they do
Society rewarding conflict over contribution
Men, employment, and some uncomfortable realities around motivation and purpose
Basically… 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.

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.

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 connection

And 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. Keep the conversation going.
