    The Most Unhinged Conversation We’ve Had All Year

    Some episodes are educational. Some are deep dives. And then there are episodes like this one where you sit down with a good friend, pass a bowl around, and let the conversation go wherever it wants.   This week we’re joined by our buddy Preston Argyle for one of the most random, hilarious, and unexpectedly thoughtful conversations we’ve had in a while. We talk cannabis, first experiences with weed, ridiculous party stories, religion, community, personal growth, career frustrations, and somehow end up debating the logistics of having an anatomically impossible superpower. Because apparently that’s where the conversation needed to go.   What starts as a laid-back smoke session turns into one of those conversations that bounces between laughing so hard your face hurts and accidentally stumbling into something meaningful. Preston’s cannabis journey and how he got startedThe difference between alcohol culture and cannabis cultureWild party stories that probably should have ended much worse than they didWhy cannabis became a better fit than drinkingCommunity, religion, and finding connection even when your beliefs evolveThe challenge of staying true to yourself while maintaining relationshipsWork, purpose, and why so many people feel trapped by traditional employmentHow performance and value don’t always fit neatly into hourly pay structuresFriendship, growth, and the people who shape our livesSeveral conversations that went completely off the rails in the best possible way  The best conversations rarely follow a script. Sometimes you start by talking about cannabis, take a detour through terrible life decisions, somehow land in philosophy, and come out the other side with a better understanding of yourself and the people around you. That’s pretty much this entire episode.   King’s Cup stories that escalated way faster than they should haveWhy Preston’s experience with cannabis looked different from most peopleA surprisingly honest conversation about faith, community, and belongingBrandon’s thoughts on work, productivity, and being measured by outcomes instead of hoursMore laughs than we can reasonably summarize in show notes Keep the Mic on.

    Triple Stack by Dark Heart| Strain Review

    Not gonna lie, this is one of those strains that surprised us. When Jesse brought home Triple Stack from Dark Heart, neither of us had particularly high expectations. Based on past experiences, it probably wouldn’t have been the strain we reached for on the shelf. Then we cracked the jar open.   Huge buds. Soft texture. Loud aroma. Good moisture. And after spending some time with it, we realized this one deserved a closer look. In this episode, we break down Triple Stack’s flavor, terpene profile, effects, and why it ended up becoming one of the bigger surprises we’ve had from a Utah grower lately.   First impressions of Dark Heart’s Triple StackWhy this strain completely changed our expectationsThe mystery behind its unreleased geneticsFlavor notes ranging from creamy vanilla and baked goods to funky cheese, fuel, and spiceTerpene profile featuring β-Caryophyllene, Myrcene, Limonene, and LinaloolWhy slow-onset strains can sometimes create a longer-lasting experienceHow Triple Stack delivered relaxation without heavy sedationWhy great budtenders are worth their weight in goldThe importance of shopping by terpene profile instead of THC percentage aloneThe cannabis strains that continue to surprise us the mostGrower: Dark Heart (Utah)Strain: Triple StackType: Indica-Hybrid Leaning Balanced HybridTHC: Typically reported between 20-30%Top Terpenes: β-Caryophyllene, Myrcene, Limonene, LinaloolReported Flavor Notes: Vanilla dough, toasted nuts, berry, grape, fuel, cream, funky cheese, and spice.  Triple Stack felt less like flipping a light switch and more like slowly turning down a dimmer. The onset was gradual. No racing thoughts. No anxiety. No heavy couch lock. Instead, it delivered a calm, clear-headed relaxation that seemed to melt tension out of the shoulders and upper back while keeping the mind engaged and present. It felt social, creative, and surprisingly functional.   If you’ve ever wanted something that lets you appreciate a museum, wander an art gallery, play board games with friends, or simply enjoy a conversation without feeling glued to the couch, this strain might be worth exploring.   A strain doesn’t have to hit like a freight train to be effective. Sometimes the best cannabis experiences are the ones that sneak up slowly, quiet the noise, relax the body, and let you stay fully present. Triple Stack was a great reminder of that.   Keep the Mic on. Fuel the movement. Keep the conversation going. We keep a running list of tools and brands we personally enjoy and actually use.

    Pills, Purpose, Dating Apps & the Stories We Tell Ourselves

    This week’s Sesh starts in one place and somehow ends somewhere completely different, which is honestly how most great conversations go. We dive into Utah’s long history with prescription pills, share stories about pain medication, addiction, recovery, and how easily people can find themselves heading down a road they never intended to travel.   From there, the conversation shifts into chronic pain, fitness, alcohol, personal responsibility, and the frustrating reality that sometimes the best solutions come from random people who’ve lived through the same problems rather than the professionals you expected to help.   Then things take a turn into dating, relationships, identity, self-worth, and the strange expectations we place on ourselves and each other. We talk about modern dating, why genuine connection feels harder than ever, how people confuse job titles and income with value, and why many of us are still carrying stories about who we think we’re supposed to be.   Along the way we explore friendship, fatherhood, religion, community, personal growth, networking culture, leadership, and why helping other people often ends up helping ourselves just as much.   Utah’s long history with prescription pill abusePain medication, addiction, and recovery storiesWhy movement often helps chronic pain more than medicationThe surprising similarities between dating and video gamesHow self-worth gets tangled up with money and careersDating apps, modern relationships, and connectionFatherhood, purpose, and personal growthWhy community matters more than networkingLeadership, hiring, and building better workplacesThe stories we tell ourselves about who we are One Thing to remember, Most of us spend a lot of time trying to become the person we think we’re supposed to be.

    Ecto Cooler

    What happens when you cross old-school orange genetics with modern gas-heavy funk? You get Ecto Cooler, a strain that hits like a citrus soda spiked with rocket fuel. In this episode, we crack open the genetics, terpene profile, flavors, and effects behind one of the most memorable citrus-forward cultivars on dispensary shelves. Named after the iconic ‘80s drink, Ecto Cooler has built a reputation for delivering bright, uplifting effects while keeping enough body relaxation in the mix to stay balanced. Whether you’re chasing flavor, focus, or just curious about what makes this strain stand out, we’ve got you covered. The genetics behind Ecto CoolerWhy citrus-heavy strains continue to be fan favoritesThe terpene profile that drives its aroma and effectsCommonly reported effects and who might enjoy themWhy the same strain can feel different from person to personHow Ecto Cooler compares to other citrus-forward cultivarsType: Sativa-dominant Hybrid Genetics: California Orange × Gorilla Biscuit  Common Aromas & Flavors: OrangeLemon citrusPineFuelSweet gas  Commonly Reported Effects: UpliftedFocusedCreativeHappyRelaxed  While terpene results vary by grower and batch, Ecto Cooler is most often associated with: LimoneneMyrceneCaryophyllenePinene (in some cultivars)Linalool (occasionally present in smaller amounts)  Ecto Cooler is a great example of why strain names only tell part of the story. The real experience comes from the plant’s chemistry, the terpene profile, cannabinoid content, and your own biology. One person’s productive daytime strain can be another person’s movie-and-couch strain. That’s why at Cannabis School we always say: start low, go slow, and pay attention to how your body responds.

    What Ancient Civilizations Still Don’t Explain

    This episode starts where all highly intellectual conversations should, ancient civilizations, hyper-advanced lost technology, underground civilizations, interdimensional weirdness… and eventually bathroom breaks. Brandon and Jesse take a completely normal stroll through theories about the pyramids, Atlantis, Petra, ley lines, Skinwalker Ranch, Bigfoot, ultra terrestrials, the Book of Enoch, and whether reality is way stranger than we’ve been told.   Somewhere between discussing classified documents, weird government studies, and possible portal creatures, the conversation takes its usual Sesh turn into body weight, random life updates, social chaos, and the kind of completely unhinged side tangents that make this show what it is.   If you’ve ever sat around with friends, passed something good, and ended up asking, “Wait… what if everything we know is incomplete?” this one’s for you. Conspiracy? Maybe. Curiosity? Definitely. Come hang out. Keep the Mic on. Fuel the movement. Keep the conversation going.

    Skywalker OG: The Strain That Makes You Feel the Force

    Star Wars nerds, this one’s for you. 🌌 This week we cracked into Skywalker OG, and yeah… if a strain could hand you a lightsaber, tell you to trust the Force, and then make you talk for 45 straight minutes about life, this would be it.   This one surprised us. Skywalker OG hit with that weirdly perfect combo of clear-headed chill + upbeat social energy, which is honestly a dangerous combination if you already like talking as much as we do. No couch-lock zombie vibes here. More like “let’s have a deep conversation, start three business ideas, and somehow end up discussing traumatic childhood nut injuries.” As one does. We break down the flavor, terpene profile, why this strain feels like wearing a weird invisible fuzzy helmet, and whether this is actually a daytime hybrid worth keeping in regular rotation. Spoiler: it kind of slaps. In this episode: Why Skywalker OG feels weirdly Force-sensitiveThe “invisible helmet” high (you’ll get it when it hits)Clear-headed social energy without the mental fogCottonmouth that comes in swingingWhy this might be one of our favorite true hybridsPain relief potential (but not the knockout kind)Whether cannabis actually makes you sleepy… or if you’re just exhaustedJoint rolling rabbit holesWhy micro joints may be the moveA very real Cannabis School live joint-rolling event ideaSkywalker OG quick breakdown:Lineage: Mazar x Blueberry OGTop reported terpenes: Myrcene, Beta-Caryophyllene, Limonene, Humulene, Terpinolene  Reported vibe: Social, upbeat, mentally clear, chill, chattyWatch for: Cottonmouth and accidentally becoming the friend who will not stop talking If you like hybrids that actually feel balanced instead of pretending to, this one deserves a shot.

    This Wasn’t a Failure. It Was Tuition.

    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 frittersJesse’s tragic grinder incidentWhy “failure” might be the wrong wordThe business ideas weed gives you at the exact wrong timeCannabis School Café (investors, call us 😂)Learning from expensive mistakesHow misunderstanding creates relationship frictionBrandon realizing what he actually nerds out aboutRandom tangents because… obviouslyIf you’ve ever had a conversation that started with weed and somehow ended with life advice, this one’s for you. — 🎙️ Cannabis School is here to make cannabis make sense. Whether you’re canna-curious, a longtime consumer, or just here for the chaos, we break down cannabis, culture, and real life in a way that actually makes sense. Keep the Mic on. Fuel the movement.

    Black Maple

    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-CaryophylleneLimoneneAlpha-PineneBeta-PineneCannabinoid 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? HappyRelaxedFocusedMild pain reliefWould 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. Keep the Mic on. Fuel the movement.
