    The Sesh: One Strain, Ten Tangents, and a Surprisingly Good Conversation

    This one goes everywhere, and honestly, that is what makes it fun. We start with where we were when 9/11 happened, somehow end up in stories from the state hospital, take a hard left into awkward family moments, Utah sex culture, social media brain rot, work stress, gaming, cooking, and the weird ways cannabis helps slow life down enough to actually think. Basically, it is one of those Sesh episodes where the conversation keeps unfolding and somehow still makes sense by the end. Also, Zkittles was along for the ride, and this strain absolutely earned its spot. It kept us relaxed, clearheaded, talkative, and just introspective enough to get honest without going totally off the rails. In this episode we get into: Where we were when 9/11 happened What it was like working in the forensic ward at the state hospital Why some childhood and family memories should probably stay buried Utah, repression, and why nobody gets taught how to communicate about sex How social media can quietly turn life into something fake and transactional Why cannabis can help cut through ego and get you back to what actually matters The difference between doing things for numbers vs doing them because they help people Food, cooking, convenience, and why feeling good matters more than just being full Gaming rabbit holes, old favorites, and why some new games just are not built the same anymore Why good conversation with the right person and the right strain still hits every time About the strain: This episode was powered by Zkittles, and it was a damn good fit. Buzz’s Zkittles out of Utah came in at 21% THC and felt smooth, social, and super easy to ride. It helped take the edge off, loosen up the body, and made this one of those episodes where the conversation just kept flowing. Not too heavy. Not too sleepy. Just one of those strains that makes it easy to sit back, talk, laugh, and actually enjoy where your mind goes. Final thought: Some episodes are polished. Some are planned. And some are just two people following the conversation wherever it wants to go. This one is the third kind. And honestly, those are usually the best ones. Links below.

    Zkittles (Buzz, Utah) | The Strain That Lets You Think Straight

    We sat down with Zkittles from Buzz here in Utah… and ended up doing what this strain does best, getting lost in a real conversation. Not scatterbrained. Not couch-locked. Just dialed in. This one sits in that rare middle ground. You feel relaxed, but your mind is still sharp. You can follow a thought, stay present, and actually enjoy where the conversation goes instead of forgetting what you were saying halfway through. Honestly, it felt like calm and clarity at the same time. What It Feels Like This is one of those strains that is tough to label cleanly. You get: A little energy A little body calm A little mood lift A lot of mental clarity It is not overwhelming in any direction, which is exactly why it works so well. Great for hanging out, catching up, or even talking through real stuff without getting foggy. Flavor + Smell Leans fruity right away. We picked up grapefruit with a sweet citrus edge. Not fake candy sweet, more natural fruit with a little funk behind it. Terpenes (from what we saw at Buzz) Beta-caryophyllene up front Humulene Linalool Limonene Myrcene That combo explains a lot of the balanced feel. Calm body, clear head. Lineage What we saw tied this one to: Grape Ape Grapefruit Like always, strain names can vary depending on who grew it, but that’s the general lane. The Experience This was one of those sessions where time just kind of disappears because you are actually engaged. We went from joking around to real conversations without that weird mental drop-off. It is introspective, but not heavy. Focused, but not intense. Relaxed, but not sleepy. Honestly, this would be a great “talk it out” strain. Quick Take Good for: Conversation Chilling without checking out Thinking clearly Late afternoon or evening Not ideal if you just want to be knocked out or completely shut your brain off. Final Thought Zkittles from Buzz is one of those strains that reminds you cannabis does not always have to hit hard to be good. Sometimes it just needs to help you be a little more present. If you are in Utah, this one is worth trying. Let us know what you’re smoking on and what we should try next. Keep the Mic on. Fuel the movement. Keep the conversation going.

    Cannabis Isn’t What You Think… And They’ve Got Receipts

    Three completely different worlds collide in this one. A doctor who walked away from traditional medicine. A nurse who realized she was never taught the full picture. And a Jamaican herbalist who lived cannabis before it was legal and paid the price for it. This episode goes deeper than surface-level cannabis talk. We get into what actually happens when plant medicine meets modern healthcare and why that conversation still makes people uncomfortable. There are prison stories. There are hard truths about the medical system. And there are real questions about what healing actually looks like. The big takeaway is simple: We’ve been looking at this wrong. What We Get Into: Growing up with cannabis before legalization Getting arrested and still coming back to the plant Why doctors and nurses are not trained on cannabis The gap between what we are told and what actually works PTSD from prohibition and why it still shows up How cannabis fits into real healthcare Why one-size-fits-all medicine falls short The idea that your body may already be built to use this plant The Book: Why We Die, How to Live: Beyond Pills & Procedures This book breaks down the top causes of death and looks at them through a different lens, one that includes cannabis, lifestyle, and prevention. This is not a one-and-done read. It is something you come back to. Real Talk: This episode is not about hype. It is about asking better questions. Why is cannabis still misunderstood Who benefits from that What changes when you actually learn instead of just listen Get the Book: https://www.doctorfelecia.com https://www.instagram.com/doctorfelecia/ Keep the Mic on.

    High Without the Fog, Meet Black Triangle

    What actually makes a strain feel “balanced” instead of just strong? In this episode, we break down Black Triangle, a strain that hits that rare middle ground. You feel it in your body, but your head stays clear. Relaxed without being stuck. Calm without checking out. This is one of those strains that challenges the idea that higher THC automatically means a better experience. Because this one proves it doesn’t. What We Talk About: • Why Black Triangle feels like a true 50/50 hybrid, not just labeled that way • The difference between feeling “high” vs feeling good • How limonene and other terpenes shape the experience more than THC alone • Why this strain makes you more talkative instead of shutting you down • The surprising gap between THC percentage and actual effect • Vaporizer differences and how they impact what you feel • Why some devices hit harder even at the same temperature • A real-world test of how much is “too much” and what that actually feels like The Experience (Simple Version): Black Triangle is one of those strains where: • Your body loosens up • Your mind stays sharp • Conversations get easier • You feel present, not spaced out It is not a couch-lock strain. It is not a jittery head high either. It sits right in the middle and does it well. What Stands Out: The terpene profile matters here. Limonene leads, which likely explains why this feels elevated without anxiety. Then you have support from other cannabinoids like CBD and THCV, which may be helping smooth things out. [Inference] Based on known terpene behavior, this combination leans toward mood support and clarity, not sedation. Who This Is For: • New consumers who want something balanced • Daily users who want to stay functional • Anyone who wants to feel good without feeling gone What We’d Skip or Question: There is a moment in this episode where a topical balm is said to cause a strong psychoactive effect. That is not how topicals are generally understood to work. Topicals typically do not enter the bloodstream in a way that causes a full-body high. [Unverified] That experience is anecdotal and likely influenced by other variables, not just the topical itself. Final Take: This is a reminder that cannabis is not about chasing the highest number. It is about how it feels. Black Triangle delivers a calm, clear, social experience that a lot of people are actually looking for but do not know how to describe. Rating: 8/10 One of the better balanced hybrids we have had. If you want a strain that helps you stay in the moment without dragging you down or spinning you out, this is one worth trying.

    The Sesh | Why Life Gets Easier When You Stop Forcing It

    Some episodes start with a plan. This one absolutely did not. In this episode of The Sesh, Brandon and Jesse light up a bowl of E85 and end up going everywhere. Money stress, bad jobs, business lessons, friendships, pain relief, and the strange way cannabis turns random conversations into meaningful ones. Along the way they break down the strain they’re smoking, share a simple cannabis pain balm recipe, and get into a surprisingly deep conversation about trust, relationships, and why most successful businesses run on one thing: people. Sometimes the best conversations are the ones you never planned to have. And cannabis has a funny way of opening those doors. WHAT WE TALK ABOUT ​ The strain E85 and why it hits like a gassy, happy hybrid​ Wedding Cake lineage and how it shapes the experience​ Why joints still feel different from vapes and dabs​ The communal ritual of passing a joint​ Financial stress and digging out of debt​ Learning business through failure​ Why relationship-based sales beats transactional sales​ The idea of “orbit building” and networking through trust​ How friendships become the most valuable currency in life​ Making a simple cannabis pain balm at home​ Why cannabis keeps bringing people together STRAIN REVIEW Strain: E85 Genetics: Wedding Cake × Project 5146 Type: Hybrid Flavor Profile Gassy Sweet Creamy Reported Effects Happy Relaxed Social Uplifted Why it stood out in this episode: E85 starts with a noticeable gassy kick but settles into a smooth, happy high that keeps the conversation flowing. It’s the kind of strain that doesn’t overpower the room but quietly elevates everything happening in it. Perfect for long conversations and passing around a bowl with friends. CANNABINOIDS DISCUSSED THC CBD CBG CBC The presence of multiple cannabinoids in this flower created a balanced experience with less coughing and a smoother overall effect. BRANDONS PAIN BALM For an 8 oz batch 6 tbsp shea butter 1 tbsp sunflower oil 2 tbsp MCT oil Infuse all of these with 7grams of flower 1 tsp beeswax 1 tsp arrowroot powder 1 tsp vitamin E oil Menthol crystals (¼ tsp or less) Peppermint oil (10–15 drops) If you enjoy conversations like this, make sure to follow Cannabis School on your favorite platform and share this episode with someone who loves real conversations.

    E85 Shitty Gas, or a smooth ride?

    Not all gassy strains come in hot and punch you in the throat. This week on Cannabis School, we break down E85 from Buzz, a gas-forward flower that is way smoother and more balanced than the name might make you think. No, it does not hit like the worst gas station decision you could make for your car. This one is actually pretty damn nice. Using the Storz & Bickel Volcano, we found E85 to be smooth, mild on flavor, and surprisingly easy to enjoy for a gas strain. The aroma leans gassy, but it is not an over-the-top diesel bomb. The flavor stays pretty mellow, and the whole ride feels more polished than harsh. Where this strain really starts to stand out is in the cannabinoid and terpene profile. Top Terpenes: Limonene Beta-Caryophyllene Linalool Alpha-Pinene Beta-Pinene Notable Cannabinoids: CBGA: 10.2 mg/g CBG: 1 mg/g CBD: 0.9 mg/g That combo matters. Higher CBG and CBGA levels can be especially interesting for people looking at cannabis for daytime pain support, especially in colder months when joints start acting like they are collecting rent. This episode gets into exactly that, how certain strains can help with pain without dropping you on the couch, and why those minor cannabinoids deserve a lot more attention than they usually get. We also get into topicals, homemade balm, tinctures, dabs, vaporizing, and why finding the right cannabis protocol is about way more than just smoking flower and hoping for the best. What We Talk About in This Episode: Buzz E85 and why it is smoother than most gas strains Why limonene, caryophyllene, linalool, and pinene make this one interesting How CBG and CBGA can matter for daytime pain relief Why winter makes aches and inflammation hit different Homemade cannabis balm and the very real impact topicals can have Why vaporizing can completely change the experience of a strain The role of set, setting, and conversation in how a strain lands Why some strains hit better solo and others shine socially Concentrates, tinctures, and dialing in cannabis beyond just flower Utah cannabis laws and the weirdness around flower, flame, and enforcement How E85 Felt for Us: This one came across as: Energetic Happy Creative Focused Chatty Social Smooth It has enough lift to keep you engaged, enough calm to stay comfortable, and enough clarity that it feels useful instead of foggy. That makes it a really solid option for a Saturday strain, a social strain, or even a daytime work strain depending on what you are doing. It is not sleepy. It is not heavy. It is not one of those gas strains that makes you regret the inhale. It is just smooth, functional, and easy to like. Best Fit For: Daytime use Social hangs Saturday errands and projects Creative sessions People looking for a smoother gas strain Consumers curious about CBG-rich flower Things to Note: Heavy cottonmouth showed up Slight dry eyes Smooth vapor, very little coughing Mild gas flavor, not overpowering E85 from Buzz is one of those strains that reminds you why looking past THC percentage and into terpenes and cannabinoids actually matters. It is smooth, chatty, mood-lifting, and has enough pain-support potential to make it especially interesting for daytime consumers. Keep the Mic on. Fuel the movement. Keep the conversation going.

    Stink Strain Review – Dragonfly Wellness 30% THC

    This week on Cannabis School, we break down Stink by Dragonfly Wellness, a 30% THC Utah medical cannabis flower that hits harder in the lungs than you expect and slower in the head than you think. We cover the cure, dryness level, aroma, and terpene profile, including limonene, beta-caryophyllene, and beta-pinene, and how that combination translates into a peppery, fuel-forward inhale. Big hits will check your ego. Smaller pulls are the move. The onset is slow. Then it builds. Stink lands in a weird middle space. Not sleepy. Not productive. Not locked in. It’s a heady, floaty high with tension in the shoulders and jaw, a subtle spine awareness, and a reflective mental state that makes deep focus hard but self-awareness stronger. This is not your “clean the house” strain. Not your “crush emails” strain. Not your “party with friends” strain. This feels more like: • A solo hike strain • A grounding, barefoot-in-the-yard strain • A disconnect-from-your-phone strain • A slow down to speed up strain We also talk about how THC percentage does not automatically equal stronger effects, why 18% strains can sometimes outperform 30% flower, and how terpene structure matters more than raw numbers. If you’re searching for: Dragonfly Wellness strain reviews Stink strain review Utah medical cannabis flower 30% THC cannabis effects High THC heady strains This episode gives you the honest breakdown, not hype. As always, start low, know your body, and pay attention to how your endocannabinoid system responds. Keep the Mic on. Fuel the movement. Keep the conversation going.
