    We Bought Discount Weed… Here’s What Happened

    This one started with a discount eighth and a little suspicion. Bachelor Party by Black Sheep was harvested back in December 2024, so yeah, this was definitely older flower. Usually that’s where expectations start dropping. Dry bud, muted flavor, weaker effects, all the usual red flags. But this one ended up doing something way more interesting. It held up. What kicked this episode off was simple, Jesse grabbed it on sale for $22 an eighth, and we figured we’d see if this older batch was still worth the smoke. Turns out, Bachelor Party had a lot more going on than expected. The flavor came through sweet, a little strange, and honestly kind of unique. There was a terpene in this one we don’t usually see, fenchyl alcohol, which sent us down a rabbit hole about aroma, uncommon terpene profiles, and why some strains hit different in ways you can’t always predict from the label alone. But the real surprise was the effect. This wasn’t one of those strains that punches you in the face right away. It had a slower onset, but once it settled in, it brought this really clear, relaxed, steady headspace. Not heavy in a dumb way. Not racy. Not foggy. Just calm, functional, and easy to ride with. Jesse talked about it knocking him out at night without even realizing it, while I ended up seeing it as something I’d use during the day, for work, hiking, or just hanging out. That’s kind of what made Bachelor Party stand out. It felt flexible. If you’re already tired, it can lean bedtime. If you’re up and moving, it seems to move with you. Clear-headed, mellow, and surprisingly useful. This episode also turned into one of those classic Cannabis School detours, where a strain review becomes a bigger conversation about perception, gratitude, anxiety, relationships, belief, internal dialogue, and how much your mindset shapes your experience. So yeah, this one covers flower, but it also goes way past flower. Bottom line, Bachelor Party was way better than either of us expected, especially for year-old bud. Dry? Yeah, probably. But still flavorful, still effective, and honestly a really solid pickup. If you can find a fresher batch, even better. But based on this one alone, Bachelor Party is worth paying attention to. Strain: Bachelor Party Brand: Black Sheep Parent company discussed: Standard Wellness Top terpenes discussed: beta-caryophyllene, limonene, humulene, fenchyl alcohol Notable cannabinoids mentioned: CBC, CBG Overall vibe: clear-headed, calm, flexible, lightly relaxing Best fit from this episode: daytime, work, hiking, hanging out, or winding down if you’re already tired This episode is for anyone who’s ever looked at an old jar on sale and thought, “there’s no way this is still good.” Turns out, sometimes the cheap old weed still has a few things to say.

    Novelty Is My Drug of Choice | The Sesh

    In this episode of The Sesh, we start with a painfully honest truth, novelty is addictive as hell. Not in the dramatic after-school-special way. In the real-life way. Learning can feel productive. Research can feel productive. Building the perfect system can feel productive. But sometimes it’s just a prettier way to avoid doing the actual thing in front of you. So that’s where this one starts. We get into analysis paralysis, fear of failure, bare minimum habits, and why doing ten simple reps every day beats building some giant perfect plan you’ll never follow. We talk about what happens when your competitive edge fades, why rejection gets easier only after you’ve eaten enough no’s, and how asking for things opens way more doors than most people realize. From there, this one goes where The Sesh always goes, into the weeds in the best way. We get into parenting, connection, service, letting people help you, networking, sales, social awkwardness, work, masculinity, modern comfort, forgotten skills, religion, change, collapse, and why racing games somehow became therapy. It’s funny, scattered, sharp, and way more honest than polished. What we get into: Why learning can turn into avoidance Analysis paralysis and the fear behind overthinking The power of simple daily reps Why asking is a skill most people never build How rejection changes you Competition, drive, and what happens when you lose your edge Service, connection, and why receiving help can be harder than giving it The value of trades, real-world skills, and uncomfortable growth Why change feels threatening even though life is literally change How racing became meditation A bunch of side quests, because obviously This episode is for you if: You keep “preparing” instead of starting You’ve been stuck in your head and calling it progress You miss feeling driven You struggle to ask for what you want You’re good at helping everyone but yourself You like conversations that start in one place and end up somewhere way more interesting One of the biggest takeaways from this one: A lot of us are not actually stuck because we don’t know enough. We’re stuck because doing the simple thing every day is less exciting than building a new theory about our life. That’s the trap. Listen now, then ask yourself: What’s the thing you already know you need to do, but keep replacing with something more interesting? Send us your thoughts, your feedback, and your suggestions for future episodes of The Sesh. We love hearing where your brain goes with these conversations. 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.

    Sour OG Strain Review, Clear-Headed, Social, Gets You Moving

    This episode turned into exactly what Sour OG does best, a real conversation. Not scattered. Not stuck. Just clear, relaxed, and actually present. Sour OG sits right in that middle lane. You feel it in your body, but your head stays online. It’s the kind of strain you smoke when you want to talk something out, get into a flow state, or just be a better version of yourself for a couple hours. We felt relaxed, happy, and weirdly productive. Not couch-locked, not racing, just steady. This is a “go do something” strain. Go outside, go think, go connect. What we talk about How Sour OG feels in the body vs the head Why this one works for conversations and focus That floaty, chest-centered calm without losing clarity Why it leans more social and productive than heavy Where it fits for work, creativity, and getting outside Lineage: Sour Diesel x OG Kush Terpenes: Limonene Myrcene Beta-caryophyllene Cannabinoids: THC-dominant Minor cannabinoids can include CBG and trace CBC Flavor & Aroma: Diesel Earthy Sour citrus Pine Gassy with a smooth kush finish Effects (what you’ll actually feel Relaxed without slowing down Clear-headed and focused Talkative and social Light euphoria That “floaty but functional” feeling 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.

    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. Check out the codes, support the show, and let us know what strain has had you going deep lately. Keep the Mic on. Fuel the movement. Keep the conversation going.

    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.
