Cannabis School

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 feels more playful than overwhelming.  (Breakwater Dispensary⁠)
For us, this wasn’t a couch-lock strain or one that demanded productivity. It landed somewhere in the sweet spot between the two. Think video games, movies, hanging out with friends, or spending time outside without feeling glued to the couch.
One thing we both noticed was how light the experience felt. It was mentally uplifting without becoming racy, while the body stayed relaxed without feeling heavy. Your experience may vary depending on your tolerance and the specific batch you have.
Zkittlez × Sherbanger (Breakwater Dispensary⁠)
Limonene
β-Caryophyllene
Linalool
These terpenes are commonly associated with bright citrus aromas, peppery spice, floral notes, and relaxing tendencies, although individual effects vary from person to person. (Groove Solventless⁠)
Sweet candy
Citrus
Tropical fruit
Berry
Light diesel
Creamy sherbet finish
The aroma promised a lot of sweetness, but once we started smoking, we noticed something neither of us expected. It reminded us more of a smooth, hoppy beer than an overly sugary candy strain. As the session went on, more citrus and sweet notes started coming through.
For us, Candy Fumez felt:
Uplifting without being overly stimulating
Relaxed but still functional
Great for gaming
Easy to socialize on
More head-focused than body-heavy
Silly, lighthearted, and conversation-friendly
One funny observation was what Brandon started calling a “squirrel strain.” Ideas would come quickly, but every once in a while we’d completely lose our train of thought before jumping into the next topic. If you’ve ever had one of those classic cannabis moments where you stop mid-sentence wondering what you were saying, you’ll probably understand exactly what we mean.
Gaming
Watching movies
Hanging out with friends
Relaxing after work
Casual hikes
Creative conversations
Pros
Pleasant, upbeat mood
Functional hybrid
Easygoing effects
Nice flavor evolution throughout the session
Good introduction for newer consumers when dosed conservatively
Cons
Flower was drier than expected
Cottonmouth showed up later in the session
Effects didn’t last as long for Brandon compared to heavier hybrids
Joint felt stronger than vaporizing, while vaporizing provided a slower, longer-lasting experience for us
Candy Fumez isn’t trying to knock you into the couch.
It’s the kind of strain you reach for when you still want to enjoy whatever you’re doing. Whether that’s firing up your favorite game, getting outside, or spending the evening laughing with friends, this one stayed surprisingly balanced from start to finish.
If you’re in Utah and see Find by Tryke’s Candy Fumez, we’d say it’s worth checking out, especially if you’re looking for a flavorful hybrid that leans toward a brighter, happier experience without feeling overwhelming.

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 day?
That conversation turns into something much bigger.
We dive into why we feel the need to be right, how awareness changes communication, why arguments usually have nothing to do with winning, and how simply noticing your own patterns can completely change the way you interact with the people you care about.
Along the way we also get into dating, parenting, martial arts, motorcycles, modern technology, emotional triggers, and why sometimes the biggest breakthrough comes from asking yourself one uncomfortable question:
“Am I trying to understand… or am I just trying to be right?”
If you’ve ever wanted to communicate better, understand yourself a little more clearly, or simply become more intentional with the people around you, this is a conversation worth sitting with.
Why awareness is more powerful than self-judgment
The difference between patterns and personality labels
Why trying to be “right” usually costs more than it gives back
How emotional states influence communication
The hidden value of observing instead of reacting
Lessons from dating events, parenting, and everyday conversations
Why noticing small behaviors can create massive personal growth
How changing what you pay attention to changes your entire experience
Sometimes the biggest changes don’t come from becoming someone new.
Sometimes they come from finally seeing what was there all along.

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, softened the edges of the day, and made it incredibly easy to simply exist for a while.
If your brain feels like it’s running twenty tabs at once, this episode might hit home.
Our honest first impressions of Blueberry Headband
The unique tea-like flavor with subtle berry notes
Why the effects felt more calming than mentally stimulating
How this strain helped quiet racing thoughts without knocking us out
When we’d actually choose this strain over others
Why slowing down can sometimes create more creativity than speeding up
Genetics: Blueberry × Headband
THC: 23.82%
Top Terpenes:
Terpinolene
Pinene
For us, Blueberry Headband started with a gentle pressure around the face before slowly moving into the head. Instead of delivering an intense cerebral experience, it created a calm, steady feeling that made everything feel… quieter.
Not sleepy.
Not couch locked.
Just peaceful.
This isn’t the strain we’d grab to brainstorm a business plan or dive into a complicated project. It’s the one we’d reach for after a long day when we want the constant mental noise to finally settle down.
Think herbal tea with a light berry finish.
The flavor stayed surprisingly consistent throughout the entire session, with earthy, slightly sweet notes and just enough blueberry to remind you where the genetics came from.
Evening wind-down
Campfires
Hiking
Longboard or scenic drives
Listening to music
Guided meditation
Sitting outside and doing absolutely nothing
Sometimes that’s exactly what you need.
Blueberry Headband isn’t trying to be the loudest strain in the room.
It’s the one that reminds you to slow down.
If you’ve been craving a strain that helps quiet the mental chaos without completely shutting you down, this one is absolutely worth checking out.

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 naturally bring people together in ways alcohol often doesn’t.  
Along the way we get into dating culture, texting versus phone calls, voice memos, building meaningful connections, and Brandon’s growing passion project around helping people find community instead of just another app or service.  
It’s one of those episodes where the strain is great, but the conversation is the real reason you stayed.
Why LA Pop Rocks keeps becoming a favorite daytime smoke
The trick to preventing joints from canoeing
Cannabis date nights and infused dinner ideas
Why sharing cannabis feels different than sharing alcohol
Creating spaces where people can actually connect
Nerd nights, D&D, gaming, cosplay, and finding your people
Aziz Ansari’s Modern Romance and what dating has become
Why younger generations hate phone calls
The rise of voice memos and why we love them
Building tools instead of creating dependency
Loneliness, community, and what we’ve lost socially
Gym motivation, aging, testosterone, and staying healthy
Corvette slander (sorry, not sorry)
People aren’t necessarily lacking options.
They’re lacking connection.
We’ve built a world where you can instantly talk to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Yet a lot of people still feel isolated, unseen, and disconnected. The answer probably isn’t another app. It might just be more real conversations, more shared experiences, and more reasons to sit across from another human being and actually get to know them.  
A good joint is great.
A good conversation is better.
And when you can get both at the same time, that’s where the magic tends to happen.

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 uplifting without immediately gluing you to the couch.  
We dig into the genetics, terpene profile, flavor notes, and why this one became an easy recommendation for daytime or evening use if you’re looking for relaxation without feeling completely checked out. We also wander into road trip philosophy, dating events, Mario Kart drinking games, and the strange ways cannabis tends to make conversations go places you never expected.  
Breaking down LA Pop Rocks and our first impressions
Sweet candy, fruit, cheese, and mint flavor notes
Why this flower stayed sticky and fresh long after packaging
Genetics: Triangle Kush Bx2 × Z Animal
Terpenes: Beta-Caryophyllene, Limonene, and Humulene
Effects: Euphoric, uplifting, social, and relaxing
Why Brandon keeps reaching for heavier indicas lately
Cannabis vs alcohol in social settings
Road trips as the ultimate compatibility test
The dating event idea we’d actually like to see happen
Strain: LA Pop Rocks
Genetics: Triangle Kush Bx2 × Z Animal 
Dominant Terpenes:
Beta-Caryophyllene
Limonene
Humulene  
Reported Effects:
Euphoria
Relaxation
Increased sociability
Uplifted mood
Minimal couch lock  
Flavor Notes:
Sweet candy
Fruity
Light cheese funk
Minty finish  
LA Pop Rocks is a good reminder that “indica” doesn’t always mean sleepy. This one delivered calm, conversation, and relaxation while still leaving plenty of room to function and stay engaged. Your experience may vary, but for us it landed squarely in that sweet spot between chill and productive.
