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. Welcome back, kids. Oh, welcome, welcome. Today we've got like a whole collection of new goodies. We've got. Oh yeah, an exciting strain. A new vaporizer, Some cool grinders, some joint carrying
tubes, these rolling trays. Yeah, and quick shout out to Santa Cruz Shredders. These guys sent us some awesome grinders. And Riot Riot and Santa Cruz Shredder are the ones who sent us out. Yeah, these guys are awesome. Riot has this great herb vaporizer. We've been checking it out. Looks really cool. It looks. Cool. It feels cool. We have yet to test. It we're trying to right now going. To try today.
But real quick, before we go into it, look how deep that bowl is. That is super cool. It's super smooth, too. What I like about it is the assembly. You know how some grinders can feel like they're like opening when you're trying to grind and a lot of it has to do is that you don't have enough grip on the top? But the grip, How's that grip feel? Well, right now I have I have some flour in here. Oh yeah, I know that. And what's the strain today that we're going?
To do today, we're checking out some tropical runts. Tropical runts. Very sticky California. This is an indoor grow, so it's made from runts and tropical truffle. Now. Tropical truffle sounds delicious. I've not had any truffle strains. Which is crazy because like runs as a descendant of Skittles and Gelato and tropical truffle is Tropicana cookies and mint chocolate chip cookies. And so that's like this is like a a quad. This is like it's, I mean, that's a really diverse background.
It's a sativa dominant hybrid. OK, so you just have to smell this. Yeah, it's a. It's top terping is miracing, limiting and then lentil. It has very sweet tones. It says. Like citrusy notes, but I can't really necessarily. Pick up, I can pick up, I pick up. I don't know that it's just very deep. It's not super earthy, no, but it's not very skunky at all. It's a very sweet aromatic. Like, yeah, it's like on the verge of like, was it delicata grapes?
Oh yeah, it. Smelled like dried fruit. That stuff was amazing. It tasted great too. I can imagine this one will be very similar. Right, that's what I was. Looking oh dude, and with that tool. I know I had to run and snag this. I was like, oh wait. That's the best tool. Air Vapes has the best loading tool. They have a really great herb vaporizer. Sign. So this one is called the verb verb by riot and. It's pretty cool actually. Pretty small, I like the size
but the bowl like it looks like. It's dude massive and it was always telling you like here, take that thing off over there because it can get in the way you're. Talking about the rubber. Sleeve. Yeah, because the whole thing is rubberized. It is, yeah. It's very interesting. But I don't. It's like a way that could possibly get in the way of your airflow. But what I do like is the whole thing is rubber coated. It's got it comes down to a point, but it's a flat point.
You could rest this on a table like. You could even put it here. So look at this though that 11 Tapper of that filled the bottom all the way across like it would. So perfect too. And what's cool is it's not all the way at the top, where every other vaporizer that I use, it's all the way at the top, which fucks up the airflow. There you go. And I do like this, it just kind of rubber. Seals seal it in. But see, that's why I didn't like that because as soon as I put that on it just slid off.
But I'm like it's extra shit because it's did. You add this or was this no it? Was on it. OK. Does it feel slicker, sleeker without it? No, you'll see in a second a. Rubberized feel. Take it. Oh, the entire thing, yeah. It's so nice, real cool, like, well, it's at an angle, but yeah, you can just stand it straight up. And it's really dude, like that's sealed. Yeah. Is it hot yet? You turned it on, right? Yeah, turned it on. It's it's going up.
It's not super fast. This would be probably comparable to your stores and Bickel. So stores and bickel doesn't heat up in instantly fast? No, it's a. 30 seconds. 2530 seconds. But I I do notice that like even all my vaporizers, all of them, I I'm always like trying to look for the one that will knock off the crafty. Oh yeah. Always looking for a like the Mighty Plus? Yeah, or the Mighty Plus. Alright, who can beat this or the? Veggies like is super fucking
hard to beat that thing. I mean, I'm not even going to put that on the same pedestal. It's so hard to beat. It is, but it's so it, it's so good, but I keep going back to that. It's the easiest to clean. It's the IT you get the best hits. Oh, they're so smooth. And I learned from it like when I want to keep my bowl going because I didn't think about that until we smoked with Nerrick that one time. I just push 1 temp up and it keeps going.
It's fantastic. Or so this one is supposed to be. You had it first. Oh well, I've smoked this before. Oh I know, but I want you to try it in that vaporizer. You getting some particles. I think so. Hold on back up. Let's stop. Maybe they didn't put. It or maybe there was just particles on the top. You getting still more. No, it's missing a filter because. OK, pause and turn off that. Look at that. What the? Fuck, I was just like, fuck, I'm getting. Them right in my mouth.
Here's really cool. I never see this. They always send like packs of four. Yeah. Oh, that's dope. Those are dab ones. How often do you clean an herb vaporizer with one of those things? Depends on the well, who knows. It depends on how dirty it gets I guess. My bad. That's hilarious. We didn't even think, well, we've never had one. You have to build out. It always comes as like. Pre assembled rigid roll. Stick your stuff in and go basically.
It was hilarious though, because as I was pulling on it, very first thing I was like, oh, I got I got crumbs in my mouth. Well, this is quick. Twists in what? No, it's got a screw that you can hand twist. Weird. OK. I kind of like that because then it keeps being it's, it's weird and where it's placed. So I'm going to be very curious there. You go all right, heat it up and try it out. Three, after some technical issues, we are back. Yeah, we're back.
The technical issues were more of a layer 8. We were. Just a weird thing so to keep in mind about this. I mean Verb is a really cool looking vaporizer by Riot. You will have to put on. I didn't see it. You put on a screw and a screen, but that's kind of cool with the screw actually. You can hand tighten which makes it easier for cleaning. That was the one thing that I didn't like about the Air Vapes 1 is that. It's so tiny. And when you pull it out and I lost it one one time.
Oh dude that's awesome. When it's that temp it says hit it. Oh, that's hilarious. Go ahead all. Right. All right. It feels like it got warm pretty quick though, or at least like the device itself. Maybe that's why they have the rubber sleeve though. No that that top gets hot. So did the. So did the Ember by Dragonfly. Oh. Around the lips, though, it's just a handle. You feel like it's warm, but not the lips.
I mean, not yet. It's got a strawberry cough feel like, right when you hit it. Yeah, it makes me want to. So it's. Supposed to be a very aroused, talkative, energetic strain so we'll notice about when like Jesse starts rubbing my legs or his here in a few minutes but it's fully kicked in. So breakdown this this stray do, what terpenes can we expect to find in in this type of string? Yeah, miracine is the top terpene, lemonine and then
linolol. So it's which is interesting because those are often like especially mirrors saying is more indica dominant feelings and that this is supposed to be a much more sativa leaning effects and feeling. OK, so right away you're feeling, it goes right to my forehead, slight headache feel, but I know it's just the onset. So I know it's not something I need to rush to get like typically when you're feeling headaches on that one, one thing
you guys should do is hydrate. Hydrate before you inhale. And the reason why is, I mean, it's not like it's going to combat your, your, what's it called, your cottonmouth, but it definitely is going to be able to help. Why the hell to them? Wow. Oh man, I don't know why, I'm just tired from the night before, but yeah, it's. Straight to my head. Straight to my head. Very cerebral, but not like. But kind of sleepy for me dude, which is weird. Is that sleepy or are you just sleepy?
Can survive on four to five hours of sleep. Do just fine. I could work a full day. Yeah, that's workout in the field. I don't know how Jackie is the same way. I'll be like, oh, how much? Oh, I slept like two or three hours. What the fuck are you talking about dude? I'm telling you it's working. Oh right, just shut off. That's the end of the sesh. Check the bowl. Still Greens. I, I don't know, like I feel like it could probably go another round. Do it three times.
I went at 5 OK. I know it's kind of nice. It's just one. It's just three and then it shuts off. Oh nice, I don't have to fuck. Around yeah, I wish that we. Just like stores. It because it was. We literally just pulled this out. Of rarely do I see that, but it could have been sitting in in the case for a while and the battery died after time. But it's a good way to start. Well, it still has 1 battery bar left on it. I just don't know if we'll get more than one more session.
Yeah, well, it's perfect. Oh, dude. Another one things They send us these joint tubes. They're nice. They don't screw on these. Yeah, well, and the rolling trays also have the little scoop in the corner, so you can just pour it into your bowl, into your joint, like if you have a cone. When they have these like plastic on the go, little. I feel like it's almost a 3D printed grinder it. Totally feels 3D printed the same with like your these tubes. And the trays. Yeah.
Like it's a very. I do. Like if it's smell proof. This is. Like it's got a rubber seal. Oh dude that's amazing. Yep, like that. You won't get any smells from that. Nope. Dude that's fantastic. I'd love a good joint tube for on the go. Well that's awesome. I would actually use this as might go to for one strain of ground flour. And what's really cool, this does look 3D printed as well. Yeah, but it feels solid. Though so solid and I really like this Santa Cruz.
You guys mad love. Go down. You'll see a link down below. Go give him some love. Actually really like the grinder. It tore apart the flour really nicely. Like it is a pretty fine grind, but it doesn't look like it's destroyed the flower. Well, I've been noticing, like, grinders with teeth. Yeah, that stuff's gone. Yeah, I still love the smell of that. Both smells fantastic. Tropical rinse is a very delicious smell. I didn't get tons of flavor.
I did not get peanut E flavor though so I will. I do like that it was much better than packs as far as that goes. I oh toasty. Screw. Oh yeah, OK, get yourself a hot screw. Yeah. Do you like that they got this nub on the end where that's the hand tightened screw and I would recommend just put it down when you're cleaning it out. It does get a little dirty in there, but all vaporizers do. They're not.
It's not a self cleaning oven. Well, and even when so when we were showing the ember and it was like, hey, it's got this clearing or the very clean insides with that specific coating that it never sticks in there, but it stays in there if your flour cools down after you vaporized it just like any other vaporizer. 100%. I noticed that my vaporizers, as long as they're hot, if I dump it out right then it all comes out just fine. Usually.
It's only when I let it sit that it really gets more stuck in there and I'm like, all right. Well, well, for those are on a road trip or they, you know, maybe. My window and dump it out. I do every time I do that and I hold my screen and I blow it out. But my passenger Princess the fuck out of it, Yeah, I'm going to get high. I'm going to sit here going to puff vaporize all this shit. But it's so.
Great in in different places, like I mean, that's where vaporizers are really good is on the go, but sometimes it becomes your your go to. Like the only time that I smoke flour out of a bong now is here. Same. Me too. I don't. I don't typically do it on the own. I usually vaporize my I mean if I was to rate all the vaporizers I have #1 is my crafty. Or the mighty. The Mighty, I mean, yeah, I gave my Crafty away to a very cool
guy. I get my Mighty and then after that is my air vapes my group and then after that is this one. Probably, yeah. And then the dead last one is the Dragonfly 1. Oh OK, I was like I really like the healthy rips, but I actually just donated that one to a friend. I do really like the I was going to use it for this episode but apparently I didn't have it charged because I haven't used that in ages. But it's the X vapes, Cheech and Chong. Oh yeah dude, that was. Always really good.
Yeah, and I was like, oh, I'll just snag that real fast because I love the Venti, but it gives feedback to the mikes. Yeah, well, and it. I was curious. I actually didn't. I mean, we didn't get any on this. No, well, we don't have
headphones anymore. But The thing is, is I also was thinking that with the Venti, I never actually checked that post edit to see if I could hear the laser sound post edit because that we actually got a comment on our buy me a coffee page about, hey, you can turn off the vibration on the Venti since you guys don't like the vibration. And I was like, oh, sorry, we probably misspoke. It's not the vibration we don't like. It's just it gives feedback to the mics whenever it passes through it.
Yeah, it's, it's from the something in the electrical curtain, none of the other ones. So it means that that it's transferring some type or I, I don't know, like all I'm thinking of is like this one movie called From Paris With Love. Have you ever seen that movie with John Travolta? No, I've. Heard it's a weird spy movie and John Travolta's like totally out of his it. It's just weird. He is like he he's yeah, it's it's a different movie for him.
Yeah, but yeah, he's like, he finds this like this spy thing going on, like this guy's knows somebody and they've betrayed him and he's like, no. And he goes, what did they give you? And he goes the ring, you motherfucker, the ring. He goes, give me your ring. He's like, here, take my gun, I'll take your ring and I'll show you. He goes if this is a blant and it goes across here, it'll give feedback. Turns up the stereo goes. He goes what the the guy's like,
what the fuck? Why did you do this to me? Like it's, it's that like all I go to is that idea. But the stores and pickle ones are just phenomenal. They are. I just felt like I needed. Really, really awesome. And that's not a that's not to say anything bad about this one. I love it. And the reason why it's it's for different purposes. Like I'm not saying that you need to own like 4 vaporizers, but it's kind of nice to have like 2 and I don't what's the
pricing on this one? That's a great question. Let's pull it up real fast and see I'll. I'll get that, but man, OK, so now going into this one, so this isn't a super strong sativa. At first it was weird. It was giving me like yawning vibes, like I I just, I was, I couldn't, yeah, science. Like I just felt tired all the sudden. I forgot this one has a timer obsession and I think once it gets to temperature it's like you've got 5 minutes of a session.
Once it gets to temp it's pretty slow climb. But this is the one I usually would use if I were to do it in a bong. Like a bong attachment is this little one. I just felt like it wasn't bad, but we just shared that one bowl and I wanted just a tiny bit more to see where. We went, yeah, I know. I mean, I love the idea that it's got such a wide bowl. I do love that it's got like this. It's the rubber coating is so nice.
I don't know how many times I've dropped a cart or drop my vaporizers that are smooth, even the one that we got from Dragonfly. Oh the Ember. Yeah, the Ember that'll slip out of my pocket. This. I mean, especially when you wear shorts. It's summertime, I'm wearing shorts all the time and shit falls out of my pocket. My phone. No, it died. It wasn't charged enough. Let's let's get the Jetson. Oh my God. We should be doing Jetson. We already tried this one up, but hey guys, check it out
again. Seriously, if you're in the neighborhood of that, OK, No, that's not what I well. Prayers and thoughts, thoughts and prayers. No what? You seeing from downstairs? But what? You're welcome. Welcome to the random random blings of Brandon's mine. Yeah, I'm, I'm see, right. How do you spell the right R? YOT. RYOT. Dryer vaporizer, see if I pull it out. Because it was telling me like $400.00. I'm like, what? No, wait a minute. Wrong one because I used the image.
OK, yeah, here we go. OK, so it's been a minute. It's been a hot minute. OK so actually this is really cool. So price .85 dollars. Holy shit, and we'll see if we have a code or anything below for you guys. To because that's great. The best part about this one, I'm guaranteeing that it just takes a few runs. Sometimes your vaporizers, you need to do a few runs before you really get a lot out of it. But what's great about it is size that you get a temp like
you can actually see that. How many times do we bitch about that? Stores and Bickel put a fucking temp gauge on there, right? It doesn't. The only one that gets it is the fucking Venti, right, But I know tooling and all that stuff. That's why I go get a Venti if you can afford it. OK, so if this if this grinder is the small one, it's 50 bucks the Santa Cruz shredder, but it's not bad if it is a solid piece that lasts a long time. I liked how it's spent. I like the size of it.
That's really. Not I like the build. I mean, the only thing I would say against that is that's a hard ask for a grinder. Yeah, 50 bucks. When I can go and get a sharp stone at some head shop. For 30-40 bucks. Yeah, easy. But I will say this though, the build is very different. There's a kind of like a, it's not a bevel or anything like that one. It's actually like a gasket. And that's one thing that drives me nuts about a lot of grinders, actually. Yeah, I can see why.
I can see why it's a little more. Oh dude that smell is nice. Yeah. It's not like like potpourri ish. It's like it's not flowery. It's, I don't know, it's like, almost like a very strange incense. Yeah, it doesn't taste like, I don't know, it's been some really good indoor. I may or may not have smoked 2 joints of this. Before. Not today. Those deep flavors that's rich. The aromatics are going to hit you right up in your nose. That's why I'm coughing. It's not because of my throat or
the burning. It's because of the aromatics. It are very strong, almost clogs me up a little bit like my wow, wow, dude. All right. I mean, we already know that, right? Flame to flower. It's a different feel. This is a much different feel. I got to clear this. Yeah, I just was like I figured we should. Oh, it's pretty Change it pretty sharp too. That's how it get you, get you coffin.
Whoa, that's sharp. But if you haven't done any flame to flower for a while too, that also kick you in the throat because it's a little harsher than, well, vaporizing dabbing. Like the sweet, the sweet notes and cannabis that I I had sometimes have a a sharper taste where they could almost like AI don't want to say like a rubber taste, But if you've had like, OK, this would not quite this strong, but pretty strong. If you don't know, Nintendo switch cartridges are cool
things. And the reason why it's super cool is they thought of everything where if a child, a small child, 'cause they're tiny little cartridges. If you put that in your mouth, if you're listening right now and you've never seen this or you've don't know about this, which would be weird. But if you don't know about it, go get your Nintendo cartridge put in your mouth. Just just tap it on your tongue. Oh yeah. I haven't. I have a couple and I have no desire to try it. Don't.
You should try it just to see like that's ingenious because the baby will go I. Mean did you ever seat belt when you were young or like, no I don't. I had different hobbies than you did, but I know well. Eating dirt like in seat belts. You know, dude, you. You had a adventurous childhood. What was it that video? Said the stupid people ruled the world. Yeah, exactly. Right. No, it is. It's a lot like that.
My mouth, it's a very sharp taste and I'm not saying it because it's smoke, it's just it's a sharper taste from flame to flower on the other one. Still sweet nose. With that surprisingly though, yeah, that's like a weird. Sweet and a very bitter in my entire. Mouth. Sweet and bitter, that's what I get. It's so it's a cool contrast. It's very much in the. Back of my head, like a lot of it, it's, it's like a. A cap.
It's a skull cap. You're feeling it there, OK, Yeah. And that's typically it will hit harder. I find that flame to flower lasts a little longer than a vaporizer I do well. So this is twice as much flour as we usually put in one bowl of Oh yeah. So at the same. Time. Even if we smoked this entire bowl, it would be twice as much as what you know, we'd put in a normal vaporizer. Well, it's like my MJ. Arsenal. That one, it's small, which is
great for that reason alone. And the bowl is really small. So it's it's a nice way to kind of just like hit it real quick. But the only recommendation I have on tiny bongs is that don't let it get dirty. And that sucks because if you're really meticulous, you're going to be super OCD. And if you're not, you're going to have really gross hits after like the second and third. It just gets so clogged. Did you ever go to someone's house?
And you just, you're hanging out and they're like, oh, we should smoke. And then they pull out their bong and it looks like something's growing in there because they just don't ever fucking clean it or use it. Often, yeah. And then they leave it. Dude, Adam, he brings out this bong when we were working together and this bong was glass and wood, all handmade. It came in one of those specialized cases that the Pelican cases where you move firearms and sensitive equipment valuable. Stuff.
Yeah, it was in that. He goes, oh, this guy made it for me and I'm like, wow, dirty as fuck inside. What? Oh, that's horrible smoke. It drain it, dry it and put it in there. At least he dried it because it's not some fucking shit. Would be grown in there for sure, but when you have really good devices you should strive to keep them clean.
Any device though. But because there's a lot of bacteria in that that comes, especially bong water and that, yeah, if you let it, that's why I don't like using. Water in my my E rigs anymore I love. I like the dry heads. Are better. Yeah, I like the experience. Of the dry heads, I feel like I get a more complete experience of my content. Well, there's no difference in. Cough Either. Yeah, like I cough less. I I mean, I just. I missed this. Oh, I grabbed it in a very
phallic way. Anyways, just the tip. Yeah, just the tip. Just the but he missed. The tip? So anyways, like I was saying, get away, keep that away. Continue Story. I love flour in flame but I cough way more. Yes, me too. And. I have done vaporizing way more, I do dabs more just for that simple fact that I can be able to regulate how I feel better
but feel better physically. I just hate the the like congestion build up, the flame build up and the cough that can come from flame to flower because past that the experience of flame to flower is still my favorite one. But at the same time. Like the terpene flavours that come from a really amazing vaporizers. Low. Temperature dab. Oh my gosh. Or yeah, even vaporizing the four. Hundreds.
You just get different. Experiences and it's like so I do love the flame to flower for certain ones I love the vaporizing for others and then that you know everything almost has its place but. I do love the. Ability to switch between them because that variety also makes it a lot easier to just kind of not get so accustomed to the experience. Very much so. I I agree with you on that and that's, you know, it's it, it is a dilemma that you will have as a cannabis consumer when you get
started. It's typically going to be edibles and carts and we know that. Is it the is it the best? I would say it's a good entry because and I used to be really against it, but now like more so it's just knowing your dose, not going crazy with it. You know, taking a few hits off of off of your cart and then just putting it away because you're not going to really you could get too much it's using. The.
Using it for. Like an actual symptom, hey, I'm feeling anxious, hey, I'm trying to sleep. Hey, I'm doing this versus hey, I'm trying to get high out of my mind. And I think that's where our difference is like that come in when consumption happens is like, do we have an intent for it or is the intent just to get obliterated because you know, we don't want to address or look at all these things And and that happens too.
And sometimes for a stint of our life that might be needed because it can be overwhelming, but we still just have to come back. And you know, but dosing, dosing
is huge for that huge and. And that's where I think the evolution can go. I, I just have a problem with the carts now more so because I know it's less healthy and that's where I feel vaporizers kind of meets in the middle where you can still experience flour, but you don't get the negatives of the concentrated oils that you can just put in your pocket and go there. There needs to be a that for me, I'm not going to be rolling around with my dryer vaporizer
in my pocket all day. No, you'd have to be in a smell proof bag and I've done that before. It depends. Like if it was the size of that 100% I could walk with that in my pocket all day depending on where I was going. If I was going to a place that I was surrounded by police officers, I actually might be a little more wary, even in a legal state, just to have the smell of it, maybe anywhere near. Them, yeah, because it's just an I mean, but that's just.
My mind and my experience with, you know, totally. So no. It is and it's it's why like, you know, like strains like this. So this is definitely, this can be a mid afternoon or you this would be more of like a reward sativa for me. And what I mean by that is, is that there are some sativas that are work sativas. There are some sativas that are
creative sativas. And then there's sativas like this one where it's like I want to be awake, but I don't want to be I don't want to be hyper focused on something. I want to be able to live in the now, so this is a really chill sativa, which is very cool. Yeah, it is it. Doesn't feel. Uppity by any means. I feel it in my chest. And that's that mayor scene. So for someone. Who? I mean, you understand me, Someone who's always feeling like they need to be doing something or, you know, yeah,
doing something. This strain is really nice because it allows the mind to feel like, hey, you can, but you don't have to. Yeah. But that can be really. Hard for me too because then I sit and go what the fuck do I do because I feel like I need to be doing but that's I mean yesterday I smoked a joint of this because I was like I have. Nothing that I. Need to do nothing. Is that like, here's what I have
to get done? Otherwise, you know, shit hits Savannah. It's like there's stuff I want to get done and stuff that I'll get done, but nothing that's like, hey, this is a priority. I need to get this accomplished today. And so it was just kind of this weird feeling like, well fuck it, I guess I'm going to go
smoke. And unfortunately I'm really lazy when it comes to rolling joints and I don't roll them because I'm terrible at it. And so I've always used the Banana Bros grinder and just stuck it in and pushed a little button and it is charged, but it doesn't spin. And so this was great because I just ground up the flower and I set it in there and then I put the cone below it and I just kind of swooped it into it. That's so cool. So it was perfect with the corner of the tray.
It was just handy little thing and it worked out nicely. And that's how I did my joints the last couple days because I'm like I said, did 2 joints. That's two joints, dude. That's. Cool, and that's, you know, that's I mean, I love banana bro.
That's a cool idea. That sucks that it did that very cool product, but at the same time, I mean it's it's just knowing that oh man, like this is where this is taking me with this, this train when you were talking about like this and feel its importance of being able to get stuff done totally, But I think it's a a common, common trope that we can create in our own minds. It's that we got to take massive action on everything. But I think you need to be more
calculated on that. And it's like recently, you know, Brandon had that awesome 2 day awakening of going, I can't work for somebody like this. And even if there is money in it, I don't trust them to pay me. And the money isn't worth the value of what my time is exactly. And that and that gives you a stronger like, OK, I could do a lot of different things.
And then I recently I, I was just like, I'll, I've been applying for jobs and I took anything I wanted and I'll jump on. This too, yeah, And I jumped. On a Windows selling company door to door and the amount of ask that they asked their people is quite extraordinary. And I started going around asking people like, I came there, I just hit my dab, got in the car, got to the office, and I'm asking all these people that have been there for about four months. I'm like, how's how's things
been going for you? Like not so bad, not bad. I just got my first sale and I'm like, oh, how long have you worked here? This guy kid goes, oh, I have four months. That's brutal. And he's driving. Hour 2 hours away and then hour back home. 2 hours back home did his parents. Pay for him to live. No, this kid. Is living on his own trying to make and I'm like what else? He goes, well, if I'm not doing this, I'm doing some stuff online and I've got a little side gig here and I'm like, why
are you doing this? Then he's like, well, I mean, it could pay off. And it, it just felt like any of the door to door ones. I mean, a those who can do door to door, God bless you. That's freaking hard to have that type of drive to keep going knowing that oh dude, it's wrong. Today could not be your day or a whole week or a whole month. I had a whole. Week of Bagels when I was in Kentucky and that was my first time ever knocking doors. And that's what.
They call it a bagel. A bagel when you get a. Zero. And it's like, oh, what'd you get today? A big fat bagel.
Got a big fucking fat bagel. And that's the worst feeling because you go out and you're spending 810 hours knocking doors going around, you know, and it's sometimes it's the neighborhood, Sometimes it's like it's all there's no. Guarantee. Which is fine, but if there's no guarantee and it's fine, I'd rather find something that I can do that I can produce value and get paid for and then a week of. Your time and you're like, cool, I just spent how many hours in
this three day and. I spent quite a bit of time because I had to memorize this script and all that. But right now, and why I brought that up is that when you are in this point, I don't know, Weed doesn't solve everything, but this type of strain would be great to be able to go and not reflect. But going wait, am I taking good action or am I just producing massive action? Yeah, and massive action is good, but you have to have fuel in the tank to accomplish that and specific.
Direction and focus for massive action. Otherwise it's shotgun spraying and flinging spaghetti at the wall of like, fuck, I'm doing lots of work and effort. That's how Brandon does. It Yep, he does it backhander. No, but he's a backhander. Yeah, then. It feels like it's someone else. I'm like spider man. But but it really does. It's got me very like it.
It's got me slightly, slightly serious, like in, in, in not in a bad way per SE. I'm saying like slightly serious going like I beat myself up a lot more. Like I had an interaction with a family member. I'm not going to say which part of the family, but not my wife. We'll just say that. And it was extremely negative where they wanted to tell me what was up. And it was a good test for me because I wanted to fight. I did raise my voice, but I went with logic.
I let him finish. And I so wanted to tear into them like you have no idea. And I wanted to. I think I told you about it. Yeah. And and then right now, just realizing that this is those are the one of those moments where I mean, I want to avoid conflict. There is so much strife right now. And instead of tear gas, we need to be just smoking these
motherfuckers out, right? I mean, seriously, you know those leaf blowers that the guys are trying to fight off the, the, the OC gas like this should just be full of fucking chronic smoke. And that sounds so stonerish. But I'm telling you right now, way I'm feeling right now is that I didn't need to be right. I didn't even they were upset because of what they're perceiving. And that's totally understandable.
And I was, I was proud of myself, not tearing into them, not because I'm I knew something more than they did. It was like that guy told you about when I was at church and this guy told me of this great opportunity to join a marijuana company. He's like, why would I do that when I could just help people to get a better high? One, yes, thank you. And then two, fuck you. Like you don't know that first thing came my head and I just smiled and I said oh so curious like.
That's that's your stance on it, right? He goes, yeah. And it said no medical benefit in your eyes. He goes none. I said, you've looked into the science. Don't need to. And I'm like, oh, perfect. I mean, yeah, I get it. And and and I, I could understand where he was coming from because he's just not open
to that and that's totally fine. Yet this is the same kind of person to be like hey you guys heard about Jesus bro do you got like few weeks for me to stop by inconveniently to talk to you about it? That's what I think is very. Interesting, because it's a very Here's mine, but I don't want yours. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm and I, I feel like it's very weird because if I were to be as brash with my beliefs and stuff as they are, they would
all get incredibly offended. I'm sorry that you chose to take offense to that, because at the end of the day, I would have treated you just the same as anyone else. Yeah. You just had this weird. Perspective that you know, and that's OK, everyone has that, but it's the choosing to go, hey, I'm not going to but in a distance myself from that, but this is the great equalizer. Man, I mean I just I am less likely to argue with you.
Not on all strains. There are some strains that agitate the fuck out of me because it's mostly I just want
to be left alone. That's what I've realized is that I shouldn't be engaging in conversations, I shouldn't be calling people I should be contemplating or I should be educating myself or working on something that's going to benefit me. But there are sometimes where and I even thought about that and like I hate the way I feel on this, but I'm like, no, well, and I realized through pondering it was like, no, you need to give yourself time. You're. For you, it needs you to do and
you're going. I need you to chill the fuck out or do this and you're like, what about this and this and this and this and it's I feel like that's where we feel a lot more tension and stuff too is like our bodies going, Hey, you need to just chill or do this. And it's like, but I've got got to this and this and this, and then we're pulled in all these other ways and it dude, it's the same. It's like it's like porn addiction, right?
The dopamine hit that you get from that is going to be, I mean, and why I call it more of an addiction now than ever is because there are people that spend 10s of thousands of dollars in credit card debt for only fans and it's all for a dopamine hit. Thank you. I wouldn't have got these. Shoes without it. Feet pics. And him with cucumbers. Massaging cucumbers? What plants? Cats and then. This big dominant Dominican dude that comes in and he sits down and Brandon's like, oh, and he
just looks at the camera. He turns around to the camera and goes 20 bucks is 20 bucks. Then it goes right back into no. But anyways, but is it me? I, I just feel like I, I don't want conflict right now. Like, the way that I feel right now with this strain is I don't want conflict. I don't want to find a reason to argue with you. I want to understand why you're upset. And these are things I know. Yeah, I get emotional when somebody feeds me their raw emotion.
And I'm like, OK, it's because I'm still calibrating. You're not an expert. You're calibrating in real time, like getting messages. From my ex-wife that used to just second it would come through and I'd freak out and like I'd have all these millions of responses. I texted out a million times and it was like. Half and then. Finally, I'd like set back and I'm like realizing this is all emotional.
Hers is all emotional. I'm just feeling emotional because she attacked me because she was emotional. But none of her attack is actually based in logic here. It's all just, and so I'm like, so I can sit back and retaliate and which will cause her to retaliate because she's not going to sit and go, gosh, this was all like, she's not going to look at that. And so I was like, and then I found at the end, all I really wanted was the peace. And the best response was no response at all.
And I didn't even give that the energy because I was like, that's not worth my energy. It's not worth the negativity, the frustration, the whatever. Because really, what I want his peace. I don't want this shit. I don't want to deal with this. I was so much happier before I got this text, before I dealt with this emotion that was thrust upon me of like someone else's. Hey, I'm sorry you're feeling this emotion right now. That sounds like it's really hard.
It sounds like you should probably go deal with that. Maybe I'm not, but. It's not my place always to say that because I'm like, I don't what is this needed? That response is just going to dictate another response and another and another. You see how this string? Kind of pulls you into that direction like it really does. I'm, I'm, it was like your yesterday, right? The feeling of not accomplishing something right. And you're just like I have to accomplish.
But I I go to the Greeks where, you know, where their contemplation would look like they did nothing. They could be laying around. Yeah. But what they're doing is really trying to think about complex ideology, theories and. Stuff which we don't give ourselves time to because like, well, I can't just sit here and think I need to pull up my phone. I need something else to distract my mind or help me think or learn something new. I need to listen to this.
Audio book at 4X because it's the only way I learned and like you're, you're dude, that's the funniest part too, man. Like I just recently got some books and we'll talk about it in another episode. But anyways, it's just like, you know, I, I look for these, you know, ultimately what you need to say to yourself when you feel like you need to do that going Oh fuck, I need to waste time right now. How can I do it more effectively? Oh, this will pull my attention away.
Thank you. Good, 'cause that's all you're doing. Just admit it. Just admit it. You're going like I I want to do nothing and I want to waste my time and and just be admitting on that because it's but I don't that's. The problem is, most of the time I don't want to just waste my time. I would much rather be doing something that I feel like brings me value and usually wasting my time. I feel like no it's. But that's what I'm saying, like you do that you don't feel good.
Nobody. Nobody to me as they're feeding fast food. Or junk like candy. And I'm like, Oh, well, I got the whole bag of Snickers now and I'm just eating and I'm like, well, now I just feel like a Latin as fuck and I don't feel good because that much sugar is pumping through my body. And now I'm like, cool. It's just this whole continuous cycle.
No, but you're a sick. Fuck if you ate 2 king size Snickers in front of that person, but they that whole bag of minis and you're like dude that's like 5 and you're like shut up. They were small. I had smaller sugars. Doesn't go in as quickly. No it was bite size so I shit them out quicker it it's. It's this concept that we have to be not only doing so I have to just do something. Sometimes you just need to stop and go. And what what can I do right now? What can I even affect?
And and and should I even get mad about this? Yeah, I like that. This would have been a great strain last night to say, hey, sit down and don't you go ahead and sound like this has been bothering you for a while. I'd love to hear what what's going on so I can learn your perspective. I mean, that'd be such a grown up thing to do, right? Yeah. And instead I was like, yeah, yeah. Yeah. OK. Yeah. All right.
Logic but but but but and I'm just like, dude, I got to back up, I got to back up. So it's just it it's it's The Who of you to be able to look for strains like these. Check it out. Go down into the comments, tell us about your stories of strains that actually help support better self-control. I I would say the best thing. I don't feel munchy on it. I don't either. This is a great self. Control strain yeah, this is the brakes and if you guys want to be.
