Cannabis School

We’re kicking off this Sesh with the AirVape Legacy CORE, an entry-level dry-herb vaporizer AirVape sent us to try. We break down the airflow, temperature settings, replaceable battery, dosing capsules, cleaning design, session timer, warranty, and how it compares with the more advanced Legacy models.
For the price, the CORE delivers smooth airflow and respectable vapor—but the shorter session time and lack of a detailed display may matter depending on how you like to vape. We give you the good, the frustrating, and our honest verdict after running flower through it.
Then the Sesh takes over.
We ask whether modern video games still create those unforgettable “core memory” moments. From The Witcher 3 and Ghost Recon to remasters, endless releases, online gaming, practical movie effects, and nostalgia, we wonder whether entertainment has actually improved—or whether prettier graphics are covering up weaker stories.
From there, the conversation moves into work, money, homeownership, commercial real estate, gambling, religion, judgment, and the expectations we place on other people. Brandon also shares a difficult story from his time working in mental health involving someone who escaped a high-control religious community. That leads to a deeper discussion about faith, rituals, manipulation, personal responsibility, and why questioning your surroundings can be so important.
It’s funny, serious, uncomfortable, nostalgic, and completely off the rails—which means it’s definitely a Cannabis School Sesh.

RSO has one of the biggest reputations in cannabis—but what is Rick Simpson Oil, how do you use it, and what does it actually feel like?
In this episode of Cannabis School, Brandon and Jesse try a small amount of RSO from Hoodoo Cannabis. This one-gram syringe contains approximately 694 mg of THC, along with smaller amounts of CBN, CBG, and CBC. Needless to say, this is some seriously concentrated cannabis.
We get into the thick, sticky texture, the strong cannabis taste, and why measuring a “grain-of-rice-sized” amount is more difficult than it sounds. The effects begin showing up surprisingly quickly, giving us a calm, focused, and functional experience instead of the traditional euphoric high we expected.
For us, the experience seemed better suited for staying active and getting things done than sitting around waiting to feel high. We also discuss the importance of accurate dosing, why capsules may offer more consistency, and why RSO should be approached carefully—especially by anyone without a strong THC tolerance.
We also examine the history behind Rick Simpson Oil and the personal stories that helped build its reputation. RSO is often discussed in connection with cancer, pain, nausea, seizures, digestive conditions, and other serious health concerns. However, personal stories are not the same as clinical evidence, and cannabis should never replace professional medical care.
In this episode:
What RSO and Rick Simpson Oil actually mean
The Hoodoo Cannabis RSO syringe and cannabinoid profile
Why RSO is so dark, thick, sticky, and difficult to handle
How a very small amount tasted and felt
How quickly we began noticing the effects
Calm focus, body effects, and our pain experience
Why the experience didn’t feel like a traditional high
The history and reputation surrounding Rick Simpson
Why extreme THC doses and self-treatment can be risky
RSO capsules versus dosing directly from a syringe
Why licensed products, clear labels, and responsible dosing matter
Our final verdict on whether RSO is worth exploring

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 Splinter Cell, and the absolute insanity of Conker’s Bad Fur Day. Then we take the scenic route through VHS memories, The Heavenly Kid, and the horror movies that make you laugh versus the ones that actually get under your skin.
Naturally, that turns into Navy stories, Tijuana adventures, and a dad who could negotiate a deal through sheer eye contact.
It’s a happy, rambling, “how the hell did we get here?” kind of sesh. Pull up a chair. You’re in good company.
Inside this sesh:
Why some classic games still hit—and others should stay a memory.
Childhood gaming limits and cartoons we weren’t allowed to watch.
A Heavenly Kid recap that becomes its own side quest.
Midtown Haze check-in: happy, chill, and thoroughly off-topic.
Horror favorites, chainsaw hands, and one deeply questionable movie night.
Navy memories, Mexico misadventures, and the art of holding your price.

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 us, this session brings a clearheaded, chatty high with a surprisingly relaxed body. We talk through those effects as they settle in, compare the experience with our expectations of a sativa-leaning hybrid, and get into why knowing your own preferences matters more than chasing a label.
Along the way, we’re sticking our noses in the grinder, talking flower storage, and appreciating good cannabis the same way you’d appreciate good food. Then we somehow end up on frozen pizza, ketchup sandwiches, learning languages, and somebody’s dad getting into glassblowing. It’s that kind of episode.
In this episode:
Our Midtown Haze aroma, flavor, and effects review.
Why we smell flower before and after grinding.
Citrus, pine, incense, and earthy notes—and what we actually pick up.
Our Volcano session and some vaporizer talk.
Personal terpene preferences and the limits of strain labels.
Creative curiosity, relaxed conversation, and the usual questionable tangents.

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 writing sprint—and a second bowl that took the experience in a very different direction.
From there, we get into creativity, quieting the mental chaos, letting go of other people’s judgments, and finding joy without turning every damn hobby into work. There’s a giant bowl of Froot Loops analogy, a Ted Lasso moment, and enough gaming tangents to keep things interesting.
The question underneath it all: does cannabis give us superpowers, or do we sometimes feel like we’re finally getting out of our own way?
In this episode:
Feeling locked in versus getting way too high
Creativity, connection, and being present
Jesse’s take on slowing down a brain full of ideas
Ego, self-judgment, and learning without getting defensive
Finding joy in books, games, and everyday moments
Personal experiences with strains, terpene profiles, and dry herb vaporizers
