Cannabis School

Halle Berry from Betty Wellness is one of those strains that doesn’t kick the door in right away. It takes its time, then quietly settles in and makes you realize you’re smiling, relaxed, and way more comfortable than you expected.

First thing you notice is the look. These nugs are straight purple. Not hints of purple. Not accents. Just deep, rich purple all the way through. One of the most visually striking Utah flowers we’ve s...

This Sesh with Lily Lane is one of those conversations that sneaks up on you. It starts light, funny, a little chaotic in the best way, and then somewhere along the line you realize you’re talking about identity, pressure, creativity, and what it actually feels like to grow into yourself while people are watching.

Lily comes in as Lily, not a brand, not a product pitch, not a polished “artist story.” We talk about growing up cre...

Blue Steel is one of those strains that doesn’t try to impress you by knocking you over. It just quietly shows up, does its job, and lets you stay human.

This episode is a solo run with Brandon holding things down while Jesse recovers, and it ends up being a really honest, grounded walkthrough of a strain that feels more like a tool than a party trick.

Blue Steel is an indica-dominant hybrid that usually lands in the lower TH...

This episode feels like sitting in a garage with friends who are equal parts curious, sarcastic, and done pretending there’s one “right” way to use cannabis.

Louise drops in and immediately turns the whole thing into a real conversation, not a lecture. From joking about consumption methods to breaking down what actually works for her body, this episode moves through humor, trial-and-error, and the quiet reality that cannabis hit...

Hooch | Betty Wellness (Utah)

Hooch sounds like it should hit hard, but instead it shows up calm, clear, and surprisingly functional.

In this episode, Brandon and Jesse break down Hooch, a strain from Betty Wellness, available at dispensaries across Utah. We dig into flavor, aroma, effects, and why this one feels especially friendly for newer consumers or anyone who wants to stay present without feeling spun out.

Th...

This one’s not a debate, it’s a gut check. Stephanie Shepard spent about a decade in federal prison on a nonviolent cannabis conspiracy conviction, and now she’s working with the Last Prisoner Project to help bring other people home. Legal weed is cool, but it hits different when you remember people are still doing real time for the same plant.

What This Episode Is Really About

• How “conspiracy” charges can swallow people ...

Cannabis School is real conversation plus clear education, no hype, no judgment. We focus on flavor, effects, and how to use cannabis more intentionally, so you can find what actually fits your life.

Pandemic Punch is a “turn the volume down on life” strain that still keeps your brain online. The first hit comes in bright and punchy, fruit and citrus up front, then it slides into a calm, floaty body ease that makes your shoulder...

Brandon and Jesse kick this sesh off on a deceptively simple question that always turns into a whole thing, how do you actually show love, like real love, not Instagram love, not “I posted a quote so I’m healed” love. And it starts in the most Brandon way possible, food. Not “I heated something up,” food, but “I’m trying to give you an experience” food. The kind where mac and cheese is not allowed to be mid, and even the boxed stuf...

Papaya Bomb is one of those “don’t overthink it” strains, it just shows up, tastes like tropical fruit, and quietly turns the room into a better hang. In this episode we’re back in Dragonfly territory, which matters because Dragonfly tends to be medicinal-first, they keep strains around longer, and they actually listen to what patients keep asking for.  

Strain: Papaya Bomb (Dragonfly Wellness, Utah).  

Lineage: Papaya x THC Bomb...

We had a simple plan, get a little lifted, fire up Gran Turismo, and pretend we’re professional drivers with absolutely zero professional consequences.

Right out the gate I’m rocking the Bomb Magloud with some “cheetah piss,” and we immediately get into that classic pre-race chaos where the lobby fills up, names pop in, and you realize you’re about to share a track with complete strangers who either drive like surgeons or like they...

Stayin’ Alive shows up with a name that sounds like it should be a whole soundtrack, and the vibe honestly matches, just not in the way people expect. This is Pure Plan’s rosin badder, cold-cure style, and the genetic line is Disco Fries x Amnesia OG, which explains a lot about why it feels upbeat, chatty, and mentally switched on.  

The first thing you notice is the flavor, because this one does not whisper. You called it guava...

Utah’s cannabis rules have more plot twists than a Netflix drama, and most people are one viral headline away from doing something dumb by accident. So we brought JD Lauritzen, The Leafy Lawyer, back on to translate the chaos into plain English. We talk hemp, the “loophole” argument, rescheduling, taxes that crush businesses, and why “legal” is a word people throw around way too casually.

What we get into

• The hemp-derived...

Head Cheese is one of those strains that sounds like it should be illegal to name, then you try it and go, ok… I get it. This one comes in like a comfort strain, smooth on the pull, not trying to fight you, just sliding in and turning the volume down on life. It’s a hybrid that leans indica, and it feels like it, not in a “glued to the couch forever” way, more like a cozy weighted blanket inside your skull. The mood shift is the he...

Gas Guzzler by Valley Lows is that “looks like a bargain, hits like a problem” kind of strain, the one you underestimate until you realize your shoulders finally dropped and you have zero interest in arguing with anyone about anything.

Strain & Type

Gas Guzzler by Valley Lows, Moxie collab vibes

• Indica-leaning hybrid concentrate, sold as “crumble” but this batch is way more batter than crumble

• Very much a “small dab, big reset”...

You know those sessions where you start out talking about a new toy and end up in full stoner therapy, yeah, this is one of those.

In this Sesh we are playing with the DynaVap M7 XL and the Vong, talking about how it weirdly feels like sipping matcha through your own tiny personal joint, why it hits like a classic doobie without torching your whole stash, and how many times you can circle back to the same bowl before it finally tap...

Sometimes a strain smells like “weed.” Sometimes you crack the lid and it smells like someone dropped a mango smoothie in your lap. Mango Mintality from Dragonfly is that second one.

In this Sesh, we spark up Mango Mintality, talk through the nose, the flavor, and why this “sativa leaning” strain somehow relaxes your whole body without turning your brain into drywall. It is vibe weed, not panic weed.

What we get into

• W...

You know those episodes where you feel both called out and taken care of, all at once, yeah, this is one of those.

In this conversation, we sit down with Dr Rick Pescatore, an ER doc who has seen way too many people show up sick from the plant they thought was helping them. He is deep in the trenches with Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome, CHS, and gut brain health, and he still actually respects and uses cannabis himself. This is ha...

This Thanksgiving Sesh kicks off with solar storms, weird weather predictions, and Cybertruck slander, then slides into what most of us really care about this time of year, surviving family time, keeping our sanity, and making the food taste better with a little THC. You two riff on Friendsgiving, delinquent childhood experiments with fire and dry ice, and how cannabis turns awkward holidays into something you might actually look f...
