Cannabis 101 - Combos

Welcome to cannabis school. I'm your host Jessie Angeles and I'm Brandon Elder and we're here to talk to you about everything pertaining to cannabis from debate flowering Edibles strains and everything in between. So some of the greatest things that we have ever come across in our lives. In Generations past have always been the combination of two different things, right? Peanut butter and jelly. Peanut butter and jelly, right? They both go together unless

you're a weirdo, right? And if you're listening to this and you're like, no, I like peanut butter. If you're a weirdo, just a minute your Weirdo. And if you're putting pickles or Mayo on that too, you're also a weirdo. See the pickles thing. When I disagree, that's pretty awesome. I don't know, wider shit. Shit. Dude. II, lots of things. You've tried that hell yeah, dude. That sounds so gross. It, you know what? You just gotta, you got experiment, right?

Just like we did, right? And please don't think that. That's what's happening. Okay, I've nothing against that, but no General. Okay, dude, I'm a little high and you're looking pretty good over just to be fair, we're family. What I wanted to say is we've been experimenting with different strains that we have we have all of this flower that we've been using and we start putting them together and we come up with some really fun names and we wanted to share with you guys experiences that

you could be able to yourself. So the next time you're in a dispensary, may be getting just a little bit of each. One of these would be able to create a new type of favorite for you. So we've been experimenting for a while. Brandon are going to go back. We take into different types of strains and we put them together and we're going to tell you a little bit about how we felt on it and possibly what you could feel if you tried it.

Oh for sure. Now before we jump into that, we just want to cover, why anyone would even want to combine strains, a lot of people take one, they feel anxious, they get paranoid any of those feelings, anything that they do, Enjoy in the thought of combining any other strain with that doesn't sound enjoyable, right? But at the same time, the biggest thing in cannabis that really makes a difference in your feeling is the Entourage effect and we charge effect.

Yeah, we mentioned that in a couple episodes before but basically it's the combination of different cannabinoids terpenes and flavonoids and Thing that actually makes the cannabinoids work more effectively when you have that wider combination. So that Entourage effect actually gives you almost, a more complete.

Hi, yeah, yeah, I and it doing these experiments which, I mean, I'm sure so many people have done that and that's probably how they came up with a lot of these strains was being able to smoke em together and see what the fact has. And so And real quick. I mean, you know these? I mean we would encourage you to be able to do the same thing. You know, check out the strain. Check out, you know, combining different strengths. See if they've already done it

before. Yeah. They've been studying the Entourage effect back. Since the 1960s that they found that cannabinoids like THC, and CBD, weren't really fully utilized unless they were consumed with other cannabinoids, so you can truly just capitalize on that. And level up your cannabis experience, just by trying simple combinations. So with that Jesse tell us about one of your, your combos here.

Yeah, so I experimented with pull my notes blue dream and wedding cake and I was going to call it something different but I just looked it up and they actually have that strain. Oh yeah. Here a yeah, but I wouldn't. I'm going to call this. Let's associate it with like a wedding. What's a wedding movie Wedding? Crashers. Know where to call it, bridesmaids? How's it going to say?

Wedding Singer? Yeah. What, oh, there we go. We're going to call A Wedding Singer but it made sense with what I combined with and what the two different strains I use was dreamy blue dream, and wedding cake. And originally, I was going to call it dream. But there's already a dream wedding strain which really sucks? Does it have the genetics of Blue Dream? And no, it's completely different. It is hold on. Or is it not? I don't know. It just I don't think it is a

string, huh? Dream wedding. Oh no that's just somebody. It doesn't have any of it so I don't think it is. So I'm just going to call it Dream wedding. Screw it. Right. So Dream wedding blue dream. So blue dream is an amazing sativa wedding cake is wedding cake. A sativa or indica it's an Indica yeah, it definitely created a very True hybrid blue dreams always been a very clear very easygoing. Strain wedding cake is awesome. It just makes you feel very

relaxed. And so when I had both of them, I just kind of felt like, you know, effort. Let's just go do something right? It's like one of these like very calming and very happy. Hi. I felt giggly, I fell energetic. My wife is laughing her ass off. I'm just cracking jokes.

And having a good time and we're looking up like old things that I'd never even thought of like old commercials old Comedians and man it just made me feel so awesome and I thought about it like of course Dream wedding putting these bolt together. What? I felt was a psych. If I was so incredibly overwhelmed with life. Just everything. Kids are driving. You nuts, right job. Maybe isn't going the best. At the moment. Can't stand your job. Yeah. You just like yeah.

F this. And and then the other part is that you you just feel like everything is just going to be. All right? You just so happy and I imagine like somebody I mean, you know, men or woman. I mean a wedding was a means to be with my best best friend of all time. I can't stand being away from her and we've been together for a long time, so, It says a lot but you know it definitely made me think about like it. What if one person was just like, you know, it's like, it's

like a dream wedding. Like, everything is just working out. Just perfect. Yes, a perfect. Nice cares away. Things are just going, right? Yeah. Dream wedding. So that's my first combo. It's pretty awesome. Give it a shot if you have it if you were to do it, they pens. It'd be pretty cool flight up two of them at the same time. Put them in your mouth and take a poll and see if it does that. Because remember that I love doing. That with pens. I've you know I've never done that.

Never done it. Haley that weird. Yeah you'd think that'd be easy, but I'm just like well that's a waste. But now by mixing flour. I got to tell you, this is something that I will do quite often periodically. I will test this. But yeah, that's my dream wedding blue dreams, fantastic wedding, cakes train, Brandon, which the you gotta. You gotta talk about that one that we just.

Yeah. We actually just partook of a little Dolph Lundgren, as what we're calling it which is actually White Russian mixed with some OG diesel. So to really good. Good sativas and it just leaves you like focused energized creative like it's a get shit done kind of strain. I feel like, oh yeah, like okay, so I have abstained from caffeine now. For six months I have had zero quell that can't be Zero

caffeine. I do partake of Kombucha every once in a while but it has like my new amount of caffeine in that there's very little but it's Get this energized feeling like we just smoked it before we got on to do this episode and normally that is not a good idea for me to do because your focus is just. Yeah. Yeah. Like I'll start yawning or I'm like, oh shit, I don't know what to say. But this one I'm like, like, a tractor beam. I am extend a state. It is great.

Like, it's very strange when it comes on, right. What are the stages that you feel truly like? Kit kind of settled in you have this beanie feeling or you call it a watch cap like yeah if for those in the military you know member I served in the Navy in boot camp you get a watch cap right and it covered it's like a beanie that covers your ears and goes all the way back to the to the back of your neck.

That's the kind of Beanie like I usually wear like a top cap beanie but yeah, just cast snug and then right between your shoulder blades, kind of resting across I imagine if you are caring. One of those water. What are those water checks? Not water. Check over your shoulders and they have water barrels on either side. Oh yeah. Yeah. Like like like kind of olden times. Yeah use them. Yes. Camp in two pockets on the side and yeah, yeah. Oh my God.

Ah, pressure in the very center and just lightly across the shoulders, not a lot of weight but just like, yeah, yeah, I would, if resting for those who work out, it feels like getting into the squat rack and then just having that You just got perfect setup and you're feeling that right between your shoulder. Blades. Like right on your traps. This is where I feel it is right in my traps and your about. You just take it right off the bar. It's not heavy that pressures right there. Wow.

Yeah, crazy. It's been quite fantastic though. Yeah. So that's actually the straight. That was my combo for today to get shit done like and it was effective. Yeah, I am. I'm I mean, I feel energized but I don't feel like anxious energized. Like when he had too much caffeine, like I feel the alertness of caffeine but holy shit. Like this is the first time to because I've been aware and been

pretty alert but not this alert. Yeah, it literally is like turning on a light like the light in our, in our, in our studio right now is lit for me. Yeah, it's pretty bright. Hey, I'm lit. Yeah. But for those of you who do get like anxious with sativas or extra sleepy with an Indica, these combos are great way to like lesson that effect. Oh yeah.

So you add a little bit of Indica to your sativa or you add a little bit of sativa tier Indica that can help mitigate your anxiety or the sleepiness, or lack of focus that you might get the. Yeah, absolutely. I think that The combination of strains is the way to go in. A lot of things I do enjoy having just a solid strain. But I have to say, I've been kind of ruined by doing this because some of my favorite strain such as, you know, Blue Dream is a good strain. I really enjoy.

But now it's almost like I have to have wedding cake with it. I, I used to do that, a ton. Yeah. And when you have a lot of strains, it's good. Mix, because if you smoke the same strain, you use the same string consistently. Yeah. Your body or endocannabinoid system become so accustomed to these cannabinoids. These terpenes that it takes so much more of the exact same one. Yeah. You introduce a combo or a different strain.

Not only does your stuff lasts longer, you get a more complete high, you can craft your high even more than you have already, because you can introduce multiple cannabinoids. And strains and terpenes into that. Oh yeah. So it really UPS the game. It's it's absolutely one of my favorite now. Pastimes with cannabis, just amazing. Yeah, so Dolph Lundgren, chosen, energetic, and hi, yeah, super fantastic. You have a another combo you were playing with recently. Oh yeah, this one was fun.

I did headband. And wedding cakes. So headband is a Indica sativa is a sativa. Yeah. And then wedding cake is an indica and this one was the oddest one I've ever done. It was so cool and I came up with the name. I went outside, I had a puff, but I smoked a bowl.

I smoke a bowl came inside and I was gonna take a shower, and as I started taking a shower, you know, you typically feel that with sativas, you feel it in the shoulders, and Because I feel it in my chest, at first, that's where it starts.

But this one went straight to my face and it like, wrapped around my eyes and like my no, the bridge of my nose and it was weird and it felt like I was wearing a mask, so I'll sudden I thought going to call this The Lone Ranger, it made me feel very focused like I get stuff done, but it kept me even Keel. I wasn't super happy but I wasn't really super relaxed. It was stab of relaxed and I went and played some video game. One of the favorite ones that we play Insurgency.

And dude I had like killer killstreaks I was having a blast so good, some good stuff. Yeah you really got you into that Superhero. Yeah there. Yeah like it's like that playlist. I have that I use for writing like one of the best things. One of my copywriter said, you know when you listen to it makes you feel like you're in a superhero movie like yeah, that's cool. It's like a smoke. Some Lone Ranger and got there will have to make one called Tonto. Yeah, that's fantastic.

So, you had another one as well, though? They did. I didn't actually named it yet though. Let's do it. Now, what was it? What was it? So it's Girl Scout cookies and headband and what it feel like. So it was incredibly smooth to smoke but the feeling was, I felt it in my head first, a very cerebral just in the back, like it had dusted the inside of my skull and then a few minutes later, it dropped to my toes. And then it started rising up

from my toes. And it was just this like tingling relaxed body sensation, like my head riding above the clouds. We're going to call it Aladdin. Um, you wear, wow, I mean, so yeah. Anyways, but no, it was, it was like this, fantastic strain and because my body was so relaxed, but my head was like above the clouds. If you have, chronic pain or something, this would be perfect to still get work done during the day because I was clear, I was focused but Body was relaxed

and didn't have any pain. Yeah that's that's pretty cool sensation. That's why I'm thinking like above the clouds you're flying but you know where you're going. Yeah, yeah. So you're high but you're focused. Thank you real high. I can imagine the pain pain relief because you have so much pain in your body. That's pretty cool. It was. Yeah, I was a whole different thing that's it. Wow. I've never had an experience. Just like, dropping from my head either from like a very cerebral.

Just hitting my toes. Wow. And then like crawling up from there. So it was a whole different experience but just fantastic all-around though, dude sounds so handsome. Yeah, we'll call it a lot. Why not? Thus, it will recover actually to Magic Carpet Ride. We're going to put those into our questions, right? We should put a question in there. These are some of the combinations. Do you think it's going to be the right name for those rights?

To go through those Brandon. What was your first 100? We named it Dolph Lundgren, the White Russian and headband. Oh No No's. White Russians do gdz. Yeah. That's right. And then I had blue dream. Plus wedding cake is Dream wedding. Yeah. And then what's the what we had Aladdin? Yeah, and then I had headband and wedding cake and we call them The Lone Ranger. Yeah. Yeah, yeah that's it. Well have it down in the bottom below. Go ahead and throw in.

What name ideas you guys have especially the Latin. I like the other names but you know I mean we have my high ass is saying Aladdin but you know I had a little bit more time I because like the Dolph Lundgren one that just hit as it was like this is what it should be called you know a big giant white russian who's like the size of a diesel truck. He's going. Why rush and dance Dolph Lundgren. Perfect. I must break you look no further than one men.

Yeah, this was this was awesome and we'll have a couple more combo episodes. We'll get new screens and we'll try them out. Yeah. And one that I actually still like I don't do it as often, but if you have CBD flower combining CBD with your strains action or or even using it after will alter ER, your the feeling the experience that you have. Yeah, that's right. So I actually not often because I don't prefer to smoke him follow. It's often more times peppery or

just not as smooth to smoke. And I have seen found some and it's fine, but I still prefer Ken has power over him. Yeah, I would agree. It's much softer, much smoother. Even if I mean, you got some sharp Terps like, Owen like Strawberry Cough, for example. Yeah. Right. That thing is like it's pneumonia. It's instant pneumonia. Just hacking up a lung but is yeah, it's a CBD combined with the flour. We've done that many times. We've done CBD. We've done CBG.

We done. Yeah. I had some CBE and CBG and CBD on the same time that we were adding onto Bowles. Yeah. Yeah. That was that night though. Oh man. I was pretty hectic few days off. It was pretty intense. Yeah, it definitely. That's, that's one thing.

And, you know, as we talked about, you know, going low and slow at. This definitely is when you're experimenting with two different strains of the same time, be aware of those effects and have CBD on hand, if you're pretty new to it, if you don't know how to calm yourself down those anxiety attacks can come on. If you smoke way too much, so please be careful. And by all means have some CBD on hand. Not not like a gummy, get a teacher or I mean flour that flour.

You're going to smoke it. Yeah. Anything you can get just to be a precautionary thing. That's a great thing to take anyways but it's a really good. It's a good Yin to the Yang. Yeah, I agree. Kind of completes the The Experience.

Yeah almost like you know like if you ever gone into a place where they have like perfume and they've got this little bowl of coffee grounds or coffee beans and it's declared the nose a sense of. So you can you can really smell the other thing I would say CDs like that. It's like that piece of Ginger. You get when you go get sushi, clears the palate. So now I want to she thanks bro. Sushi, mmm, sound bad. Wow, what that guys. Let's go get some sushi. Yeah, tune in next Tuesday.

Alright guys, take care.
