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, flower, edibles, strains and everything in between. Jokes, but hopefully you are. Though Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, yeah. Hey, welcome back. So today we're going to be reviewing a another local strain flower that has been. We have been so impressed. Dragonfly Wellness is a well known dispensary here in Utah.
This is homegrown and it's not a part of a chain across the United States, unfortunately. It'd be really cool to see that it has been one of the most fantastic companies in cannabis that we've been able to come across here in Utah.
Yeah, I've loved like definitely the way they approach the product, the way they approach just the business aspect, everything that they bring to the table, like their products are truly, they've just been better quality than what we've experienced from the other cultivars so far. Yeah, in today's Strain Gush Mints speaks to that. I haven't tried it. Brandon has been partaking of it for a bit. Oh, it's been delicious.
Yeah, it's really nice. From what he tells me, this is an indica hybrid is. That right, It's 3 way from Cushman's F1, Durban and Gushers. Never had gushers, really. I think I've had Poison Durban, but I've never. Had OK Durban poison. Durban poison. I don't think I've had F1 Durban either. Tomato, tomato. We've had cush mints. Go check that episode out. Gushers I've had, but it's been ages long before we started the show it. Was mild. Yeah, so it's gassy, sweet and Piney.
Notes is what it's known for. No, I don't get a lot of, I mean, a little bit of gassy, not a little bit that Piney woo all. Right. I mean the the most the terpenes are most prevalent, one is limiting and then beta carfilene and Linole and Humulin. Really well balanced. So no pining though. I but I smell pine. But I smell pine in a different way, like fall pine. That's what it smelled like, not like in the middle of the
summer. There's a distinct smell difference for me and it's stronger in the middle of the summer. But when you're like towards the fall, it's it's faint, it's nice, but it just depends on the day. This is like a cold pine smell that's so specific. But. Really specific. That's immediately where it took me. Good shit, hey. It's really good, getting a little weird headache. Interesting. That's really weird, yeah. I mean, it could be just from the other strains I've I've had,
but I've come down from those. So it's kind of weird, but I like it. It's not super peppery, gassy and sweet at the same time. That's a great description because I feel that around like the edges of my tongue. The gassy notes are the sweet. Both at the same time. OK, interesting. It's like. The sweetness is just like, almost like like a medicine sweet. Oh. Not bad. Just like, you know the they put enough sweetness in your medicine to taste.
Not absolutely horrible, but it's like bearable horrible. That's what it would taste like. It's not horrible. I mean, I'm not saying it's bad. It's just because it's medicine. This isn't even a snack. No, I'm just all I'm thinking of is these weird, gross, chemically like medication flavors in my head right now. And you know, that's cool. Yeah, they're pretty good. I mean it's I can definitely smell these sweet notes. The sweet notes are nice.
It's just a faint like almost like slight sugar after taste on the sides of my tongue. But the gassy, I can taste the gassy notes and it's like right in the middle of my tongue. It's it's really it, you know for being an indica leaning hybrid, this is very aware type of strain. I'm, I feel very clear. It's nice in the sense where I don't feel like I need to go to sleep.
The last strain that we had because I had a little too much of it on purpose is to kind of go through saying, hey, you know, be aware if you take too many hits, this is what you're going to get. Now again, it in flower form. I always tend to find that flower doesn't put me down. The only one that ever has really, really hard has been Sleepy Joe. Oh. And I mean, Flower has been sometimes the best highs and the ones that make me go to bed the butt like the best.
But again, like you said, it's like there are a few strains that are so good that they put me to bed or that they make me like actually tired. Most strains aren't that potent that they are hitting me in a way that I am actually feeling lethargic or sleepy at all. So it's just different when, gosh, I don't even know the last one that really did. Yeah, but even them just like, I don't know, I I always think of Indicas as the ones that are going to put me down.
But in flower form it's always slightly the opposite. It's more relaxed. I just feel that the concentrates are there for that specific reason and that we typically smoke a concentrate like we're smoking flower, which I almost think that that's like we're wasting it in a way like we should be focusing on micro hits. With the concentrate. Yeah, with the 'cause it's not as it it's more concentrated than this. But we. Smoke concentrates like this. I mean, well and I say concentrates.
I'm thinking about pens. I think we smoke pens like that, right. But dab rigs, no, I respect that more than the flour because I know that shit's potent and you're getting a lot in a little a bit and when people are taking like 1G dabs. Yeah, honestly, I just feel like that's a waste it. Is a waste. You're not going to be conscious enough to enjoy it for the time period. Or even if you are because your tolerance is that high, like, honestly, I feel like it's it is
a waste. So I had a buddy a couple years ago and he did, he was like, oh, I'm going to do a 1G DAB. And I was like, OK, cool, me too. And then I sat there and I was thinking, why? Why am I taking? Why am I going to take a 1G to have? But I was like. That's a pretty expensive stunt. It was. But what do you think about it? And I'm like, OK for me to eat, for me to take edibles. Realistically, for me to buy edibles, any 100 milligrams is at least 10 bucks.
I could usually get and you know, a gram of concentrate for about 10 bucks. So I was like, OK, that would have been the same to me as going and buying one thing of edibles, because I would eat the whole 100 milligrams in one time for me to actually feel. It if you want to feel it and you're like that, like there are certain snacks in the THC world. That anymore, 100 milligrams won't touch me.
Oh, no, no. I'm saying like, there are ones that are even higher, like the entire content in the bag. And like, you know, I think of that, like, that's great for those who have extremely high tolerance, 'cause there are individuals where cannabis in any shape or form does not affect them at all. Yeah, it's weird. Really strange. Like, how would it be to smoke cannabis? But you're smoking it the same
way you smoke hemp. You're not going to get anything out of it. And what's the purpose of doing that? I don't know. I mean, maybe there's a benefit to your, like your body and the endocannabinoid system. But I would still smoke it at that. Point. Yeah, I wouldn't either because if you're not experiencing that, it takes out like half of the the experience. That's the whole point of doing that.
Yeah, it's the experience. So if you don't get the experience from it, like what is the purpose in doing that in the 1st place, you might as well just take it as a vitamin and go cool. Well, it's going to do something for my body the same as taking any of these other vitamins that I'm taking, you know. So I don't know, it's a very, very interesting. I feel a little bit of dry mouth, but not a lot like it is a little bit of cottonmouth. I feel. Like this is really clear
headed. Yeah, no, I mean, I feel very clear headed on this. This is a very just, it's a it's a nice relaxing state. Not relaxing to the point where I can't do anything, but it just takes the edge off. This is a good right after work strain, you still got shit to do. You got home.
Your day's been hard. Either you were sitting at a desk, banging your head against it, doing monotonous work, or maybe you're a sales Rep and you've been making calls all day but you haven't been hitting the numbers at all because everybody's not behind. Yeah, or you're like a mechanic who just got done. Nah, that shit's hard. You you'll want to get some stronger shit than that. But you know, it's it's taken the edge off the day. Not necessarily, like, getting the pain to go away.
This isn't. I don't. This one is. Actually used for pain I wouldn't Chronic pain anxiety. Anxiety. I would say that the lemonine is really a good factor of that. Maybe a little more in higher doses, the higher dose you might get into more of the chronic pain relief or the relaxation like it's not. Yeah, but that's what's nice. Like I don't have to smoke like a full bowl to get where I want to be. I am absolutely.
I am very content right now. Like normally, I'll just don't know, spark up a little bit more, but this one allows you to be able to pump the brakes when you want. I feel that some strains are a little bit sneaky. Yeah, sneaky Bug us. Yeah, they wait. And so you're like, oh, I don't feel anything. It's gonna hit some more. I'll take another hit. Yeah, yeah, I'm good. I still don't tell anything. Yeah, I'll take another hit. And it hit you all at one. You're. Like like.
Whoa, yeah. Like, I'm like, oh man, I just get really sleepy. And then my son comes over, starts talking to me about WWF and WWE wrestlers. And I'm like, it's funny because that's what happens. But this is nice. It's it it sets on quickly. It feels really great. I haven't. I mean, this is awesome. I feel like it's not a super hazy strain for being an indica dominant. I don't feel a haze or a fog. I don't get. I'm not getting any cottonmouth. Really OK.
I just had some water, but before that I had a little bit and it could have been a combination of the J1 and. Did you try the strawberry? I did. I still think I prefer the mint, but Jesse's a big fan of the strawberry. Lubricated. I guess I'm just not a fan. But either way, I feel like it's a good product. Check it out. CSP 20. CSP 20 Save yourself 20% off some lubricity. Yeah, give it a shot. Yeah, I know. I like it. It's good. I don't feel the munchies at
all. No. This would be a great end of the day strain. If you're trying to kind of Curb Your appetite, 'cause that's where I find it. Where? Shit, which strain did I smoke? I think it was Runts. And you got some nighttime munchies. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Dude, I ate like all these, like beef sticks. And I just, like, I couldn't stop. And I was like, I got to stop and I wake up next morning, I burp. It's like this, this processed
meat. I'm a sick fuck for like, those weird gummy candies, so I like Jelly beans. Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah. So right now we're it's Easter time and they're always bringing up the, like starburst Jelly beans or like the the trolley gummy worm Jelly beans. You like them a little sour? I like all sorts of different ones. And so I'm like, oh, I I just, it's horrible. I get them, Harry Potter. Ones. Yeah, Birdie's bots. Birdie bots. Every flavored beans. Oh yeah, they're pretty nasty.
Some are. Some are really just, like, interesting. Some are. Good flavors. If it's nasty tasting, you're that kind of guy. Most of the time like you. Dude, I totally knew you would be. Mama didn't raise no quitter. Have you ever had Escargot? No, no. OK. I would try it. I don't care. Yeah, it's just. Are you telling tell me that those taste like escargot? No, Escargot tastes like chicken, but it was like the texture on. It's really interesting, but you don't really have that
opportunity. Most places don't serve that, but on cruises they do. In fact, every cruise I've gone on, they've served it. So I've actually had it on every cruise I've gone on and like, I was actually surprised at how much I enjoyed it. And it's just snails. So Brandon's gross. No, just kidding. I I would totally try it. I just never, never had the opportunity. Yeah, I don't know. I'm always one, especially with food.
Like I'll always try it. Yeah, but even now like you're you're talking about food and even though I was like just thinking about how would that. Texture be. I still am not munchy, dude, and that's actually really nice. I I'm going to pick this one up next time I go in. I like that because I I feel that at night time I'm most susceptible to snacking and making bad choices because, I mean I'm I'm older now, my my diabetes. I'm not able to just fight off as easily as I was when I was
younger. So now, like it affects me big time if my sugars are high. So I mean, I'm eating pumpkin seeds at night. Or a protein. Bar I love pumpkin seeds. Dude, high magnesium that are fantastic for you but make your breath smell like you eating cat food you. Just gotta brush them. Brush your teeth. Dude, stop. It I know. Stop. He's. Always sick, practically. Vice Oh fuck, stop it. Push your balls, brush your teeth. In that order. I don't know to get their toothbrush here.
I don't use my toothbrush to wash my balls, but. Well, the way you just talked about it, you're just like, well, make sure to brush your balls before you brush your teeth, Sir. Wash your balls and brush your teeth. You said brush your balls and then brush your teeth like I was like wash All right, Sir, remember to do with this particular ODA. Brush your balls. Brush your balls like man, doesn't that hurt? This is good. This is really good. I like it a lot.
It's good. It's a joke strain too. So it might be a little bit more giggly as it sets in more. Yeah, it's. Kind of nice to see it is giggly like I like that. It's been nice. Dude, this is nice. Oh, I got to pick this up. This is so nice. This is nice for like a night time. Man. I could smoke a little bowl of this with the misses. This is chill. Oh yeah, I like it. It is a really chill strain. But not like in the couch chill, like it's not super couch locked.
It's just. This is what I mean. You know what? This just kind of goes to like Malawi Sunrise is 1 and we tried from Dragonfly and it is really, really good. It's it's one of my favorite. Like, that's one of my wife has actually made a comment on, she's like, I really like this one and it's like, really? Flower wasn't. It just flower, Yeah, like she's been getting more into flower with me. I like that. It's not, it's. It's the way to be, yeah. Way better feel.
The experience is going to be so much better. I think it's just the getting over the smoke aspect, like I'm looking in here right now in our studio and I've seen smoke going around. It's just, it's just hanging and I get it. And you know the times where I actually, I got to my garage and I smoke and I'm like, Oh yeah, you know at Brandon's place we go out to the garage and we smoke. But you know, but it's but it's
different, dude. It's just the way, you know, when we smoke in here, it's like smoking in a house. And sometimes I wish I could do that. You know, I think about like if I had the ability to build an add on to a house, it would be a room that has positive airflow going through it and I just turn it on. Oh yeah, and it just sucks it right out of the room and never stays in there. Well, and for the nice seasons of the year, you just have windows on like both sides, and
you can open the windows too. Yeah, I imagine Joe Rogan's like, I wonder his like studio is built on his property. Maybe it depends it. Would be smart, but anyways. That's cool, yeah. Give it a try. It's not a super overly chatty straight, but it's a fun like. It's a fun strain. I feel like you should sit down, watch something funny, play something funny like just, I don't know, hang out. Just relaxed, just relaxed, just let everything kind of unwind. This is the end of the day
strain for me right off work. Do you feel like this one? I don't know if this one's really blanketing the mind as much. Though no, no, no. Like, slightly dulling, but not too much. That's why, like for a second there, I go off on a little bit of a tangent, but I'm back all of a sudden. Like, I felt myself being a little bit funny. It just felt like like the. I think that ability is there, but like it's it's nice enough, relaxing.
You can shift it. Yeah, but so I think it would be perfect to like watch a funny show or a movie or something and just kind of chill. I just having like a like that dinner thing I went to for networking. Oh yeah. Perfect. Perfect. I had J1 during that and it was. It was great. Been good too. But I really wish I would have been able to have like cheetah piss or runs. Like I mean you could have you just had to take up a dab rig? A dab rig on the go.
Oh, I actually have one with the the honey sticks. There you go. Oh, the more you know, should have. Done that? Yeah. But anyways, no. Give this a shot you you know. If you're in Utah, check out from Dragonfly. If not, check out Gushman's. Anyway, it's a fantastic strain. It's a really. Good man. It's a really nice end of the day. Or if you have pain and can function like as in still work, this is a fantastic during the day's train. Yeah, arthritic pain.
Yeah, it's not like. I would say arthritis pain because I I have arthritis in my knuckles. It's like it was like, oh, what else do you have? It's. Diabetes and. Fucked up, knuckles. Yeah, I'm. I'm pretty fucking the shit out of you. Got no ACL. I got a bad shoulder, right? You want to talk about my bowels anyways? No, no. But I have a little bit of, like, arthritis in my hand. When it gets cold, it's the worst. It just hurts.
Constantly. And I have to push through it like if I'm outside, like if I'm working on the car and it's cold. Dude, that's brutal. But I just push through it and like, fuck it, I gotta go. What does it feel like? Is it like a burning? Is it a stabbing? Is it like a diff? It's like a stiff soreness and so. Like an achy pain. Yeah, but it gets worse the more you close your hand. Oh. So when you're doing this, it just gets worse. And so the pain, it's always there.
It's constant, dull like your back. It's just constant pain. And right now I don't feel it very much. Like my left hand, I feel a lot, but right now not so much. Oh, that's nice, Yeah. Super cool. I would recommend using this right before going to the gym. Just don't be with somebody else, 'cause you're just going to giggle and talk. Yeah, do your own thing with it. Put on your headphones, go work
out. I think it would be nice because you'd be like, take a little bit of that tension out of the muscles. You'd still be able to get a good, solid workout in, yeah. Yeah, no, it's good. I dig it.
