Welcome to Cannabis School. I'm your host, Jesse Angeles. And I'm Brandon Elder. And we're here to talk to you about everything pertaining to cannabis from vape, flour, edibles. Strains. And everything in between. Well, that's what I figured because I was like, it's been today. The good thing it doesn't taste like ham, tastes like weed. Oh. Yeah, no, I knew it was because the only hemp that I have is the stuff that I turn into CBD flour, into CBD oil. Past that, every other flour I
have is actual cannabis. So even though I know that it was it's dry. It's been in this little beautiful marble topped glass jar from. Yeah. Beautiful marble stash. Gorgeous ones. They they'd sent another one. It was like a hard plastic one. Actually hooked my brother. Up. Yeah, like you, your brother. Had like a seal on it so it'll keep the smell in. At least you hope it does. Most boxes I find don't have that. It's kind of a cool feature like that one. The bus 1 bus bus.
It's cool looking. The one with the fingerprint thing. Yeah, but it never fucking worked. And then when you talk to him, it just didn't. But I mean, you know, I'd rather have a key. It's not airtight 2 either, no. Either a key or a number combination. That's just say I. Don't. It's more secure. Yeah, I I don't need fingerprint. Who am I fucking James Bond for my weed? I mean, if it worked, share it, I'd be dope. But past that, if it's just more gimmicky, I'd 100% rather have the key.
It is a big try. Yeah, for sure. So today, folks, we're doing mystery weed. Yeah, now this is weed that you find in a jar or in a baggie, hopefully not too dry, and you grind it up and you put it in this bad boy and you smoke it. Now flavor not optimal. Oh, it's old God. Not as old as that. Remember that blueberry that I had? We tried to smoke that. What? So here's some of the things with older dry weed you're going to find. It's not very strong.
I mean, I've taken several hits off of this and I'm kind of feeling a buzz. What about you? I felt a little bit in the back of my skull around the base, not a ton. Just a little. I feel it in my jaw, right in my cheekbones, dude. Right on the sides too, there. Yeah, and, and most of the time, this is when you find it, right? You've got no money and you found this magical weed just chilling. That's true. Right, Brandon found a a bag of Delicata grapes that totally misplaced and so nice.
He he hooked me up. Yeah, I was. Like, Oh my God, look, there's like an ounce of Delicata grapes just sitting here. I didn't know I even had. That that is such a wonderful, beautiful strain. Like Oh my God, that is so good. Even though it was a little dry, it's still really good. The smell isn't like that's. Just because it's been sitting there for so long and that's. I mean, even this. I wonder how old this flower is because usually I smoke stuff pretty quick and this.
How dry is it? Is it crackling? I mean, Oh my God, turning to dust, that sucks. Like. This is really crappy Denver weed. Colorado weed is what it feels like. Yeah. That it. I mean, it's not, it's. Probably no shade, No shade, Probably. Utah or California? But. It is just crumbling in my fingers. It is so dry and. Look at those hairs though dude, that Once Upon a time. Look at that tricombs.
I mean, it was dusted. Actually, so even for how old that is and dry, oh wait, it still has a scent. It's very fruity, yeah. That smells really good. Well, it means there's oil still in it. Yeah, I was like, it still looks like it's good. It just it's the. Only problem is that you're going to have to smoke a lot. Like I'm feeling it now but not not as strong. I'm thinking that this is more of a hybrid indica leaning. Just the feeling alone, really.
Yeah. Oh, I was thinking it was more of a sativa leaning just because of where I like. Well, I feel really chatty right now. Yeah, maybe all I feel it in so far is my face and the backlight head. We'll have to see as the bulk progresses. But a lot of the time as your cannabis sits there longer, as it gets access to oxygen or sunlight, it degrades the cannabinoids and so you end up with more like THCV instead of THC. So you end up with really good sleepy time stuff.
No, this one's still sealed pretty airtight. It's got the rubber seal up around the top. And even though this one's in a clear glass jar, it's in a sealed stone box, so it truly never sees the light. So a lot of the cannabinoids and terpenes should hopefully still be there. It's just a little drier because, well, Utah's a really dry ass climate. Oh yeah. But on that, I mean, so here's a hypothetical and maybe you would know this.
What could you take? Fresh weed that I mean well will you purchase from who, wherever and back you seal it and could it keep if you kept it out of light? For a certain amount of time, but it still would run into degradation of quality over time. You still do get like certain percentages and it would probably just be slower because if you'd put it in a dark
storage place with. I'd do a Celica packet in there with it to really pull all the moisture out, but then you couldn't back, you see, I don't know. What do they do with like beef jerky and stuff and all these other ones? Because they have that little packet in there and when you open it, the jerky is super moist and tender and. At least you'd hope so. Yeah. So I wonder if you could do the exact same thing. But the other thing that I would worry about is, was it properly cured?
Is it fully cured? Is it at the right stage that you do vacuum seal it? Because I thought about that like getting seeds and then vacuum sealing like a bunch of them and then just labeling them underneath it of what strain it is and then cut out that section when you need it. That's actually a really good idea, but I feel like seeds stay good like. No, no, no, just to categorize them. Wouldn't it be cool Like you have a sheet of weed strains, right?
And you have like sativa strains and each one's got like a bundle like that of of seas like. Could you seal it that tiny? I know that like. If you lay it out so this is the way you do it, you'd have. To have a bunch at once. To, yeah, you, you'd space them out in there, right? And then they would vacuum seal it. Yeah. The only thing I would be worried about is would it suck the seeds up into the vacuum? I don't know, that's a good question.
But I would just say it like, you know, just to categorize them. I'm sure you guys, I mean, for those who have seeds who do gross, you probably have like way more sophisticated cool shit like that. Like like you have dry ice in a thing. There's no reason for it or liquid nitrogen.
So when you open it up, there's like a smoke that comes out and you're like, oh, I got this bitching Pineapple Express or like, and it's got like fucking Indiglo light in there every time you open it. That's how. It is. See this is what makes me think it's more of a sativa. Yeah, it is like. It's just such a chatty, but it's a very happy one. Being mystery weed, I don't know, getting your like your mystery van, get with your puppy and all your friends.
Go get some Scooby snacks and check out some mystery weeds. Well, you know, dude, it's been cool is that, you know, throughout this journey we've been doing with these guys, I just, I'm glad that we've never really gotten this like crazy big because I'm glad it's taken its time.
I really am. I mean, as much as I want this to take off, and it will, but I'm just, I'm just so grateful for it because it's times like this, like we're in Brandon's backyard right now and he just rotilled like half his lawn to turn into this beautiful garden. He's a he's an amazing green thumb, you guys. He'll start showing it on on socials. Yeah. It's so cool. He's got a old chicken coop. I got to get rid of that. Yeah, that fuck chickens dude, no. My brother got 6 chickens.
Which one, Alec? Yeah, he's got a huge coop. It's basically like a shed. Like that smaller. Not as taller like one of the plastic outdoor sheds. Oh, OK, yeah. But for 6 chickens it's plenty. But I don't know, it's kind of funny. I don't. Maybe it's all the egg prices and stuff kind. Of shit. I mean you must be a real hard like, I mean, eggs must be a solid part of your diet. They are for me. I mean. But I don't eat them like non-stop I. Can't.
Oh no. I got to mix it with other things like I can only handle scrambled eggs for so long, sunny side up so long, over easy so long. I I love eggs but I do them usually most breakfasts I'll have like two eggs. It depends on the day sometimes like a muffin or some egg like hash Browns and bacon and like avocado and stuff. It just depends on the day but usually I always have eggs and I've always just done them probably for years now over easy so I usually have them.
I usually do over easy but. Unless I do infused with cannabis oil and then I scramble and because I want the oil to get mixed into the eggs real well and. Evenly distribute the flavor too. Yeah. Well, it's otherwise if I don't do that, I feel like half the oil is still in the pan. But if I do scrambled, it gets into most of the eggs and so I'm left with not a lot of oil in the pan and all of that in the
eggs. So then I'm like I'm not leaving half of that concentrate or whatever it is in the pan and wondering why my highs only. So with that, I mean, do you find that doing something like an infused meal of any kind, is that better for absorption, for pain management on your side? Or it is it just like, hey, let's throw in some weed in my food? Yeah, I know. That's it because it's not usually a high enough dose that I feel pain management because if I did the food would taste
terrible. But often it's just a like, hey, I'm going to have like this really light edible and it's just going to take off. Like it's going to be a little bit, I don't know, a little more relaxing, a little bit of the edge taken off. But I'm not going to really sail. It's really high or. OK. Super elevated at all? Now that's with like oil, is that with dab or? Either when I've done I used to have for quite a while infused olive oil and I would do that sometimes and then.
What's the milligram per tablespoon? It's been so long since I did that one, I couldn't tell you now. But it's never high enough that I have to worry, and I don't use that for anyone else's. So those types of things that are unmeasured are only mine. Anything else is very precisely calculated on like here. This is what it should be because I don't want someone getting crazy high unless that's what they're in. Dent is so. Yeah.
Yeah, I, I don't know. A lot of the time now I've found that I just put concentrate in the existing oil in the pan. So I'll heat up the oil in the pan, but then I cook it pretty low because I don't want it to overcook. And so then I once I've got that in and the concentrates mixed into the oil and I do my cooking just depending on what it is that I'm doing. Yeah, I don't do much cooking with cannabis other than edible, like sweets and stuff like that.
I'd really like to figure out how to do some like really good sweets that are sugar free, but that's not a good idea because then I'll just eat the whole fucking bag so. But yeah, oh man. That is the hard part with sweets, like edibles. I want to, I'll sit down and then I'm like, oh, I just want to eat a ton of them. But sometimes I have to eat a ton of them. But then they're not really like super good ones. They're just like the gummies. The gummies are fine.
They're not like, Oh my God, this is a delicious, decadent treat. It's just. Like, no, they're nice. It's not a wild edible, no. It's like having a fruit snack. I'm like, all right, cool, I just had a fruit snack. Yeah, I guess it's nostalgic, but I'm not a little kid anymore. I don't really often have fruit snacks as often. Nostalgia is overrated. It legitimately is.
I mean, it's like, you know nothing is going to taste the way it did when you were a kid because you were different then, Your taste buds were different. You matured certain things that you really enjoyed then you wouldn't fucking touch now. And I mean. What did you like when you were
little that you? Oh, I guess I used to eat more shit, like more junk food and stuff that now I'm just like, no, I'm OK. But aside from that, like I don't think there's any foods that I'm like, I don't like this anymore. Do you have anything like that? No, I like, I mean. Acquired more tastes like. Yeah. Salt and vinegar chips I hated, which I actually really like now. Cheesecake, I hated cheesecake, but I actually like some cheesecakes now, you know, Yeah. So just some flavors that I've
just not really enjoyed. Yeah, it's textures for me. Oh, same textures. I don't like some textures. Slimy. You know, like I'm, I'm willing to try anything like back in the day. I mean, I wouldn't recommend it these days, but back in the day you see oysters in the half shell with some lemon and some hot sauce and shoot them. And now I don't know if I would be like down. I'm just like like hot foods, spicy foods. I don't do them very often
anymore. I can't, They just screw me up because I, I have acid reflux and I rarely take my medication now because I've really changed my diet. Like it's totally changed, not necessarily because of you know, I'm trying to be like a bodybuilder just because my body has just finally got to that point going fuck you, dude, Like you've you've fucked us up long enough because I I dude, I was a fat kid inside and then I turned into a fat kid, but. I was always a fat kid on the other side.
I I already discussed. Dude, I remember when I had knee surgery on my left knee and oh man, it was so bad. I was in a recliner for three days. My knee was, maybe it was my right knee, I can't remember. So my left knee, it's one of them. Yeah, it was this one. And this knee was like this big from the surgery. So what had happened? I was working at state hospital. Again, another cool one, right. And we took, I took this guy down.
He had knocked out one of these. They at the time, they would hire people in their 60s, come work with mentally ill, violent people. Fuck. And he was a temp. And they sent them to me. And I'm like, I have nothing but respect for you, Sir. And he goes, thank you. Please stay away from patients if they get violent. I don't need your help. You don't want them getting hurt.
You don't want a liability. Dude, he went over to try and correct this kid named Tony. This kid was an evil fucker and he just fucking socked Dave right in the mouth. And Dave flew back and went Wang and there was these giant metal poles hit that and he just, you're here to go, Wang. And he dropped down and his hands were like all shooting out
and his feet were like that. And his head he's like, so I went over there and I went to grab him and this other staff, his female staff, she grabbed the other arm and she wanted to go the other way. And I'm like, OK, we got to go together. She goes, no, we go on me. And then he shoved her and came into me and I fell down and my kneecap hit the ground and went over to the side.
Holy shit. But I had adrenaline going and I told the girl them all get away and she rolled away and I stood up and I heard her go snap right back into place and I grabbed that guy, just judo flipped him right onto the ground. He's here, thud in his air and I roll him over and put him in an arm lock and that old guy wakes up and comes over and helps me and I'm like, Dave, go get yourself checked out. I got this. I was like what the fuck dude?
Just like brutal, he's not a very safe situation to put him. In but I had that that happened and then my knee was like, oh, so it it was it would click every time I would walk. It was awful and it would you I could feel it and it was like Oh my gosh. And so go to the dock and they're like, yeah, workman's comp's going to pay for it. Just goat my knee. Yeah, they fix it. They had to do what's called a lateral release, where they release all the tendons and then they saw them back tighter.
Holy shit, yeah. And then I was stuck in a chair for three days on lower tabs and nothing else but my PS2. That my beautiful wife girlfriend at the time, right before we got married. She she gets, she gets, she goes. What do you want? And I'm off. Go rent me Splinter Cell, Chaos theory and Star Wars Revenge of the Sith. I said I want that those two games. I want a bag of white natural Cheetos and and a fucking 12 pack of what was it? It just came out.
Oh yeah, monster. No, no Mountain Dew Red Code Red just came out. And so remember Pepsi Blue that came out at the same time? Oh yeah. Dude, it wasn't bad. I was never a big Pepsi fan. I've it's always too sweet. Yeah, I liked Coke more than I liked Pepsi. Yeah, I could always tell the difference. I don't know. How do you I can tell the? Difference No. I like how high are you? Well, you would be even better to be able to do. That's definitely Pepsi.
Oh yeah, it just, yeah, a major flavor difference. Oh, dude, that spiraled me. That that little moment spiraled me because when Steph and I got married, I didn't work out as much. And then I just slowly started to get fatter and softer. We just change our habits and we don't have the same, maintain the same habits that we did. And so then it's like when our habits change, we change.
You know, what if my wife, I mean, it sounds fucked up, but if my wife would have said, I don't know, a little bit of weight, haven't you? Like I would have been like back in the gym fucking working out hard and shit, but I didn't. And it wasn't until this us thinking about doing a podcast and Brandon records it and we're watching the video. I'm like, who's that fat fucker over there? Why did we even do video? Then we didn't know. We didn't know. We did it in the basement too.
It. Literally looked like, you know, it looked like a a torture room with this wood paneling on the wall and it was dark and barely any light from the top. Have any light? Like, yeah, we have a basement underneath this. This is where we keep our slaves. Video. I don't know, because there we were just. Trying there was no video podcasts. No, like it wasn't. I mean, there was Rogan's podcast at the time, a few other ones. Yeah, that was. It and so. Most of them were just audio. Yeah.
I have no idea. We started audio. Yeah, like I couldn't imagine editing video back then. No, but I mean it's it just kind of goes to show, right And it's. It's been hilarious. It has been hilarious, but it's the cool part is. Mystery Weed. Mystery weed dude. This has been a fantastic we. Definitely a sativa. Strong notes of linol, just the calming. Light hints of like light dusting through my arms, through my legs. Just light relaxation, but not light.
It's like my head's a bowling ball, my whole head. Just feeling really way down. Ears fucking all over dude like my whole head, like when I went like this I literally imagined somebody put like 3 fingers at the top of my head and just go let's go hang out. Strike because it feels a little heavy, but it's not sleepy by any means. It feels great. It does. It definitely settled down more. It's very much in my head still though. Yeah, it's in my head.
I mean it's a it's a great feeling, but the the better one is is chilling with somebody that you you just want to be around, you know, I mean, I think that's one of the things that a lot of people take for granted is that it's great to smoke weed on your own. I mean, who doesn't? I, I, I did a post dude. I still get people liking that post. I put over there on my personal one. It says up late smoking weed. Me too. It is the subdued outside with like the city lights and he's just like.
That's great. And it was literally, I, I saw that while I was smoking outside and the mall posted it. That's hilarious. But it's, it's, it's that, dude, when you're smoking on your own, it's all right, dude. When you're able to be with somebody else and enjoy the time, like things are funnier, things are more enjoyable. I did often when I'm smoking, I'm doing something else, you know, it's I, I multitask too often.
And yesterday as I was sitting out here and I'd finished doing all of that shit and I just was like, you know, I put on my headphones and I sat down and I started smoking and I'm like, why, why am I listening to my headphones right now? And I just took them off and I sat here and I just chilled. There's like birds and stuff and the neighbors asshole dog that kept barking. The Del Taco fan going non-stop. Is that thing ever fucking shut off? No, not even at night. Yeah, so you know.
I'm gonna shoot that fucking dog. Yeah, so, you know, but I just, I started to just enjoy being here instead of needing to be listening to something or doing something else and 'cause I don't know, maybe you guys are a lot like that. But I'm usually, if I'm listening to something, even usually if it's music or a podcast or a book, I'm, I'm doing something, I'm working on something I like. I'm not just sitting there doing just that. Same with when I'm smoking.
I'm not usually just sitting to enjoy that moment of just consuming cannabis in that moment. I'm looking at my phone, I'm listening to a book, you know, talking on the phone to you. I'm I'm always doing something, usually instead of just being incredibly present it with that moment. Well, I mean, that's no thought
then. I mean, you know, take that opportunity to be able to have a smoke just on your own, not with any distractions that that that inspires me on that side just because I mean, I think we take it for granted a lot of times because we just you know, even when we run out, we're like shit, you know, and usually we're all trying to make sure that we have just enough where you go. I'm looking at that. Do I need to smoke this many bowls today? Probably not.
Probably not I'm. Going to run out if I do before I'm able to go re up so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like you got to, you got to space it out. But more importantly, like use that intent with it. It it really is. You know, whenever my wife comes to me saying I my stomach hurts or I feel I just need to feel different right now. And that's one of the things like, even though like life has its obstacles and, and fucking trials and all that other shit, you know, it's not going to be
like that all the time. But definitely by smoking weed it, it definitely makes it a little easier. Because there are times when that moment feels like it's forever and it's never going to end. And then you're like, wait, you know, especially when we're, I think if we don't take the time to do just that one thing, we are so caught up in the continuous everything that we don't just slow down and go, hey, this moment is OK.
Like, look, you're literally chilling, sitting smoking some weed right now for this very second. You're pretty all right. And then after that you can go back to your other stress and shit when you feel like you need to or want to because you know it's there when you feel like you need it. Yeah, on with that. Go find yourself some mystery weed. As long as you don't find it in the couch cushions. Like dude, I'm getting pretty. I'm getting the slants like it's hitting my eyes. Good stuff.
Yeah, it is interesting. I am feeling it more coming back up in my face towards the yeah upper part of my head. That's it. Like it. It goes a cool cycle, it almost has a full circle, then it comes right back up to the eyes. Oh fantastic. Very curious on what this strain. I know I'm thinking back to all the ones we've smoked. I can't think of 1 not a sativa. And it would have to be in the last six months probably. The only one I notice it kind of feels like this is Tropicana cherries.
I don't think, Oh no, that one's way older than that, so it's not that one. I had some of that. The other thing I wonder is if this is the journey we get now because it is months old and drier and. This is the CBN part. Changed, you know, and maybe this is the experience now. Either way, this is actually quite pleasant. Yeah, it's very relaxing. So make sure that you guys don't throw out that stanky old weed.
Give it a grind. May have a little bit of life left in it. And if you don't want to smoke it or vaporize it, honestly sometimes what I like to do with older stuff is turn it into an edible or a tincture. Well, I thought he was going to say a Suppository. I have yet to do those. I just usually stick the flour and dry, you know? Don't do that. Take care.
