    Sweet Berry Lemonade

    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.

    Are You Trying to Be Right?

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

    Blueberry Sugar: The 16% THC Strain That Blew Us Away

    Purple, frosty, fruity, gassy—and only around 16% THC? Blueberry Sugar by Brand Zero proves that a great cannabis experience isn’t always about chasing the biggest number on the label. In this episode of Cannabis School, Brandon and Jesse explore this Cream Cake 2.1 × Blueberry Frosting hybrid. They break down its deep purple-and-blue flower, orange hairs, heavy trichome coverage, sweet aroma, and surprisingly peppery finish. Blueberry Sugar delivers a clear-headed, calming, and creative experience without leaving them feeling foggy or stuck. The conversation quickly expands into productivity, curiosity, self-awareness, changing old behaviors, and finding more joy in your own journey. They also compare vaping Blueberry Sugar at 365°F with smoking it in a joint—and discover two noticeably different experiences. In this episode: Blueberry Sugar’s appearance, aroma, and flavorCream Cake 2.1 × Blueberry Frosting geneticsWhy 16% THC shouldn’t be underestimatedFruity, gassy, sweet, and peppery notesMyrcene, beta-caryophyllene, limonene, humulene, and alpha-pineneVaping versus smoking it in a jointClear-headed creativity and productive energyCannabis, curiosity, habits, and self-awarenessWhy THC percentage never tells the complete storyHave you tried Blueberry Sugar by Brand Zero? Let us know how it treated you—and whether you prefer enjoying your flower in a joint or through a dry-herb vaporizer. Remember: Cannabis affects everyone differently.

    Bruised Egos & Cowboy Engineering

    What do tipping over a motorcycle, childhood fistfights, martial arts, negative comments, social media algorithms, and industrial-strength zip ties have in common? Honestly, more than they probably should. This week, we start with a bruised ego after a motorcycle goes down twice before the ride even really begins. That turns into a conversation about the ridiculous standards we hold ourselves to, the old scripts telling us we’re not good enough, and why mastery doesn’t mean you’ll never fuck up. From there, we get into growing up around violence, being bullied, learning to fight, and the difference between being capable of violence and constantly looking for it. We talk about muscle memory, pressure testing, protecting the people you love, and how real mastery can eventually teach you to avoid the fight altogether. We also get into why random people on the internet don’t deserve your energy, how to train your social media algorithm instead of letting it train you, and why sometimes the healthiest response is simply, “This probably isn’t the show for you.” Then, naturally, we finish with motorcycles, broken car parts, cowboy engineering, questionable safety inspections, and a heartfelt appreciation for one of humanity’s greatest inventions: the zip tie.

    Black Triangle

    Black Triangle: A Smooth, Old-School Indica Hybrid Welcome back, kids! This week, we’re finally giving Black Triangle the full Cannabis School treatment. Black Triangle crosses Triangle Kush with ’88 G13 Hashplant, creating an indica-dominant hybrid known for its mellow, relaxing experience. The Brand Zero flower we tried came in at 17.6% THC—considerably lower than the 25–30% sometimes associated with this strain—but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. We discuss the flower’s trim, sugar leaves, value, and surprisingly smooth smoke. Its mild earthy flavor, subtle sweetness, and lack of harshness make it an approachable option for newer consumers or anyone who doesn’t want an overwhelmingly heavy high. The experience felt grounded and relaxing, with gentle pressure behind the eyes and noticeable body relaxation. In this episode, we also get into: Black Triangle’s genetics, cannabinoids, and terpene profileMyrcene, linalool, limonene, beta-caryophyllene, and humuleneWhy THC percentage doesn’t tell the entire storyMixing strains to create different effects and flavor combinationsSugar leaves and how trimming can affect the smokeFlower versus vape pens, edibles, concentrates, and vaporizersWhy beginners should always start low and go slowJoint rolling, gravity bongs, and future Cannabis School experimentsWhether budget flower can still deliver a worthwhile experienceOverall, Black Triangle offered a mild, smooth, and pleasantly relaxing session. It may not knock experienced consumers into the couch, but it could be a solid choice for beginners, lower-dose consumers, or anyone looking for affordable flower to enjoy on its own or mix with another strain. Have you tried Black Triangle or anything from Brand Zero? Let us know what you thought! As always, consume responsibly, know your local laws, and remember that cannabis affects everyone differently.

    Phantom Cookies: A Spicy, Happy High That Still Lets You Get Sh*t Done

    What do you get when Granddaddy Purple and Cherry Pie have a mysterious little love child? Phantom Cookies—a sativa-dominant hybrid that brings a clear, calm, and functional high without launching you into another dimension. In this episode, we break out the Volcano and put Phantom Cookies to the test. Right away, this strain hits us with a surprisingly spicy flavor—think black pepper, clove, and even a hint of cinnamon—followed by sweet, citrusy, earthy, and musky notes. We talk about its reported 15–20% THC range, its cannabinoid profile, and terpenes commonly associated with the strain, including caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene. The effects? Happy, relaxed, aware, and still ready to function. This feels like a solid wake-and-bake strain for anyone who wants to mow the lawn, work out, read, watch *Ancient Aliens*, or just touch some grass before touching some grass. We also discuss reports of Phantom Cookies being used for anxiety, pain, inflammation, fatigue, depression, arthritis, and ADHD/ADD symptoms—plus why the strain’s easygoing effects may make it approachable for newer cannabis consumers. Naturally, we also wander into drive-through margaritas, aggressively boozy coffee, black vodka, questionable medical-device marketing, homemade edibles, and the urgent need to bring cannabis suckers back into our lives. ## In This Episode - Phantom Cookies genetics: Granddaddy Purple × Cherry Pie - Why this strain tastes spicy, peppery, and almost like cinnamon - Sweet, citrus, earthy, herbal, and musky notes - A clear, calm, functional high without overwhelming euphoria - Why it may be a great wake-and-bake or daytime strain - Reported experiences involving anxiety, focus, pain, and inflammation - THC, CBD, and the importance of looking beyond THC percentage - Caryophyllene, limonene, myrcene, pinene, and linalool - Mild cottonmouth, no major munchies, and a happy overall ride - Drive-through booze, weird vodka, homemade gummies, and cannabis suckers Have you tried Phantom Cookies? Tell us what it tasted like, how it made you feel, and whether you can find it in your area. Listen, learn, and remember: cannabis affects everyone differently.

    The best ideas come from letting go

    This week’s Sesh starts with business lessons that usually only come after failing a few times. We talk about why trying to do everything yourself eventually becomes the bottleneck, and how the right partnerships let people focus on what they actually do best. From there, the conversation takes its usual detour through movies, gaming, construction, motorcycles, camping, cannabis, and a surprising amount of joint rolling technique. Along the way we dive into: Why delegation is one of the hardest skills to learnThe difference between creators and operatorsBuilding systems instead of carrying everything yourselfThe psychology behind changing your own behavior instead of trying to change everyone elseHow camping became an unexpected reset for mental healthWhy Margin Call might be one of the best business movies you’ve never watchedRevisiting Troy with a completely different perspectiveWhether technology is advancing as fast as it couldThe evolution of modern video games and endless updatesMotorcycle trip planning and adventure prepOur latest Gran Turismo obsession and favorite rally carsJoint rolling tips, resin tricks, and why we’ve become daily joint smokersSometimes the best conversations don’t have a script. They just wander wherever curiosity takes them, and somehow still circle back to becoming a better human.
