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 bait, flower Edibles, strains
and everything in between. See the good in all things.
You tell these are special mushrooms, right?
And mine just looks like a hippie shirt but it is made from
him. Yeah, well it is made from him.
I I got this is a Walmart, special cost me seven bucks.
So super excited. I saw it and I was like, I'm
gonna get it. Oh hell yeah.
This was more than haha. Well hey everybody, Welcome to
cannabis quogue and another episode.
Welcome back. Back.
Yeah. And you know, we're excited,
we're constantly experimenting with new video angles, and we
want you guys to let us know what you prefer, what you'd like
to see more of and I don't know what we're creating this
together. Yeah, so we're going to adjust
that real fast. So yeah, we also had another
camera angle that it just didn't seem to work today so I crapped
out on him next week. We will have another.
Yeah and it'll be, it'll be awesome but jokes in a couple
weeks jokes, we record more than one week at a time.
Yeah, that's true. Okay, so the strain we're
talking about today, you know what I thought about you
remember? Those old commercials of York
Peppermint Pattie, where they would take that disgusting
chocolate with the creamy minted, pretty much toothpaste.
Yeah, they're pretty terrible. As far as like candy goes but
when you were a kid, there are commercial is there were
amazing, right? And you like a crack, I always
put mine in the fridge to make it super A cold.
Yeah. Yeah.
Loves that. That was good, right?
But, you know, for those I'm a we're not shitting all over.
You know what are they called? Again, York Peppermint Patties.
We're not going to shed all over those, but we will want to go
into is, we're thinking about minty creamy and it's, it's an
expiry me. Oh, yeah.
And it's, but it's like a not an overpowering like Menthol meant.
No, it was. I would say, like, you said
earlier, like an Andes mint. Yeah, so it was very smooth.
Very But tell us, what are we? What's the strain this week?
The strain this week. We are reviewing, is Kush mints.
Cushman's fantastic, delicious strain.
It's in crossbreed between animal mints, and Bubba Kush,
and it's a hybrid, if I'm not mistaken.
Okay, yeah, so and it's lower on the scale as far as like on the
hybrid side, that's more into cuddling and it has a lot of
amazing. Raising prop.
I mean it's pretty amazing as far as how they feel you know
you read the reviews of other people and you're like, wow,
that thing looks like it's going to kick your ass but I don't
know. I had a different experience and
yeah I want to ask you because you don't like Bubba Kush.
It's not one of your favorites. Well and I have history with it.
So well over a year ago, now I had a massive anxiety attack and
I took too much Bubba Kush which caused it to be.
Really it was too much and I couldn't use cannabis for a
month. So but with this man I got to
tell you it is extremely distressing.
Now we're around the holidays this time of recording and it
could be any holiday wish going to leave it at that.
It could be I don't know. Could be anytime.
I feel like it's the perfect time for Thanksgiving, strain.
It's, you know, it's coming up real soon.
You're going to walk outside. You're going to hear this
episode probably after Thanksgiving, man.
That's all cool. We recorded this before.
Yeah. But the one thing I really want
to be able to test on this one. It will not stress on actually
distress. Cushman says, well, known for
being able to have a reduction in stress in your life.
And that's pretty cool. Cool.
I know a lot of other cannabis strains can do that, but this
doesn't have the anxiety-inducing properties that
some indicas can give our sativa friends out there.
I know that sativa people tend to say, I don't play with Indigo
because it gets me really anxious and I think it's just
due to its a difference in blood pressure.
There's there's a whole Myriad of different things that could
cause that. So, I don't know.
This one, it's the most commonly reported like To reported are
happy and relaxed. Yeah.
As far as the effects come from it.
So there's definitely more. This is a good like fuck it
strain like haha I'm upset but I don't I don't need to let this
overwhelming. I agree.
Yeah, it's really nice. Mine was a it started in my
body. It started in my low spine, is
where I felt the tingles first and then it kind of just like,
spread from there. That's cool.
And not, mine's almost on the opposite side.
My indicas always start right here.
Here by my diet, you know, just right there with the rib cage.
Me interesting. It starts there, but then it
spreads all over my body have where you Indica?
No, no, I would say that on average indicas hit me in the
chest, but that was your experience.
Yeah. But it was slightly lower with
cushman's, but then it radiated through my body pretty quickly.
Yeah, it went through and then your whole body's relaxed but
it's munchie. So I think like sit down with
your snack before you go and get really blitzed.
And then you're like, oh man. And yeah, I don't really feel
like getting up but I kind of got the munchies.
Now, that's how I get all stocked up.
If you're, you know, really into salt and sugar, hey, that's
cool. I'm trying to get away from that
I and, and, and right now like, especially with cushman's, this
one was great. Because if at any time where it
can be stressful with with family friends or not, having
any of the above, right? By being able to use this
certain strain. I feel that I don't have a lot
of, it's not not caring. I would say it's more.
I just I feel okay with me. That's the way that I would
describe the euphoric feeling that I get.
It's not that my problems, go away, but I can take a break
from those problems just for a little bit.
So I can deal with those stressors and usually come out
on the other end with a better. A better idea of what I need to
do next. Yeah, I feel like especially
with cannabis and issues with life stress, anything like that,
Thanksgiving holiday time, things with family.
The problem with our Changes. We have so much other stuff
going on that. Even one small as you can feel
overwhelming, sometimes because of everything else in life.
But taking a minute with like cush mints, it really helps
decompress and get rid of all that other chatter, that mess
that you really don't need in your head.
And then after that, it allows you to focus on that individual
problem. That really is or maybe isn't
even real. The issue when you get rid of
the other noise. Yeah, that's a great Point, too.
Because it's, it's allowing yourself to kind of just get
allowed to just kind of go away and let yourself put into place.
So, you mean again, we talked about in tension all the time,
if you're using cannabis, use it with intend.
I had to come to that conclusion.
When somebody goes are you high right now and like I don't get
high. I just don't I can feel high if
I want to. Yeah, depending on how much I
want to use. Like You know, I we know that
Brandon has an extremely high tolerance, those of you
listening, you guys have a high tolerance or you're like me,
you're kind of in between or you have those brand-new bees like
they take it one hit off of a bowl and they're gone.
So one of my cousin's, she saw an Instagram post about Snoop
Dogg only ever being out Smoked by Willie Nelson.
Yeah. That's it.
And she came over and she was like, you know, I was thinking
about when I saw that post. If, if I could out smoke you
like I'm sure she has a decent tolerance.
I'm sure she does. But that was a task that I'm
like, we have to settle this. Like we have to find out
sometime. So one time, we're going to get
together and just sit down and, you know, see who greens out
first that be killer content, you guys would like to see.
I put make those comments on there saying now, you know, we'd
love to see you guys do that. Like maybe alive.
You know just seeing like a smoke out.
Hey maybe that's the thing we do.
Man. We do a smoke out.
I can I have a smoke? So I live.
I live. Smoke out session, right?
Just like, we're going to try this strain.
This is how much would that we're just going to keep going.
All right, and loading until they drop because already I know
I'm out. I'm out.
I'm I mean, you know, every time before we get on WE partake now
get ready? And and always gotta prep to
record. Oh yeah.
But I mean thinking about like oh what was that?
Oh, that's naughty. So when we're thinking about how
to find the right strain for hard times and if you're in your
local dispensary, and now before I go past that, how we tried
this, I tried it in a vape. I understand you were just
innovate. I've never had it in flour.
Have you had it in flour? No, but it's definitely on my
list to try and flour now. Yeah, when I read up on
different flowers, like this review says, one of my
favorites, I've had a lot of trouble with past rains, but
this one makes me have no anxiety, definitely recommend
it. If you're a person with a lot of
anxiety, if I'm alone, I if I'm alone, I feel creative focused,
productive hungry and a little bit sleepy.
When I'm around friends, I feel highly energetic, focused.
Active and hungry. So this is a snacky strain, like
you said, and it is, it is and it's fine.
I mean, if you have a problem with snacks, one of the things
that I do, I try to find like the healthiest snacks.
I can find with the little bit of, you know, whatever.
But I tend to find that things that are more fibrous, help fill
me up and not want to do not want to continue eating but
that's again, it's my intent if I'm got the munchies and I'm
like, shit, you know what? I find helps that the journals
pizza looks bad. Gasps in my freezer I find that
if I get the munchies the way I can curb, those Munchies is to
keep smoking because if I'm smoking I don't have time to put
that in my mouth. I'm just doing the other motion
you know. Guys hear that.
Frog was beautiful weird. Honestly.
So this this train is Pretty well balanced.
The average like it's usually like low mid twenties THC, but
the highest is about 27%. Yeah, the highest you can find
out their common is like in the 1920 area.
Yeah, range as far as percentage, but it has quite a
good range of terpenes. The most prevalent are limonene
beta carefully. Nand beta me Racine?
So not the acidic, but like, d carved or the Post.
Yeah, which is wild, and it actually has THC CBD and CBG in
this train. So, the Entourage effect with
this strain is probably a lot stronger, especially if you get
really good cultivar in flower or something because that's all
Brett into it genetically. Yeah, so that's really cool.
That's way cool. Because and you have to think
about that again, with your intent and with the terpene
profiles terpene profiles, make A cup for such a high.
Well yeah, it makes up the hi. I mean, it honestly just
straight THC is not an enjoyable experience.
No. And when you're having all of
these different profiles that are associated with it, that's
why we be who you to when you're in a dispensary.
Look to see if you can be able to find out what type of
terpenes are in there if their natural right?
Because sometimes their plant-based terpenes that are
put into it after the fact not cannabis-based, right?
And that you find, sometimes with the distillates is that
they will be A total. The problem with distillate is,
it's an isolated compound anytime you isolate.
Any compound, you're taking out all of the other natural
occurring, flavonoids cannabinoids terpenes that are
in that plant and so when you're stripping it down to one
compound, your endocannabinoid system is missing all of those
other things. Yeah.
And so even then putting back in even if their cannabis derive
terpenes, it still doesn't hit the If you get like a live rosin
pain, right? So it is something to look for
terpenes, make a huge difference in your experience and that the
specific terpene can be what is causing your anxiety, your
stress, you know, or just elevating it.
Yeah, absolutely elevating. Its and that's another thing.
That's why you guys come here for this podcast, it's you're
trying to elevate your knowledge in there and seeing like okay,
does this match my endocannabinoid system now Now,
we go through multiple strains, to be able to understand how we
feel as I am more prone to being able to go for sativas.
I have ADHD. That's not a, that's not a
problem. That's not a deficiency.
That's not a disability. It's an ability but I tend to
have the higher strains because they on the sativa side because
it helps me to focus and I feel good on it but at the same time
can I get completely fucking blitzed on it?
Hell yeah, I can. I can get downright stupid on it
if I want to, but it's always about the intent.
So, thinking about that would even with your Edibles and, and
all that, if you're getting store-bought.
Yeah, it's a bit of a crap, shoot your, yeah.
You're going to get what you're going to get and that's not
necessarily a bad thing. You can get, strain, specific
ones, but even then, a lot of the times I noticed that Edibles
are made with distillate. Yeah.
And so you're getting even if it's a strain half the time.
It's either terpenes added back. In after and so the experience
really just as in its not the same, so and had a cat Ian.
That pirate pests really got you.
Yeah, the Pirates. No, it's really good.
It's fantastic. What you guys will hear about
later on. Yeah, but this honestly, the
looks everything that I looked up for cushman's and bugs were
beautiful. Yeah, they're like fluffy green.
Like orange hair is all over. You'll see it around here.
Hmm. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we're on top of my face. Yeah, I'll just take over the
screen. Let it sit on your face.
Ha, ha, ha Clear Place. Well, now we have to this
episode. Yeah, absolutely, but yeah, I, I
gotta say that. Cushman, it's in the vapor form.
Even though it was distillate was very good, felt amazing.
It kicks in there times that you'll use a cart and it's a bit
of a delay, Jack Herer. Jack Herrera, rejection career,
Jack Herer. That has that tendency.
It takes a little bit more time to kick in fully so you could be
on your fifth six, hit on the pain because normally you feel
it on the first two and you're like this ain't doing shit and I
love the creepers, the ones that and I it's specific strains that
do that that you, you feel a little bit like it first.
Oh yeah. But the real experience is about
15 to 30 minutes. It's depending on the strain but
for your jacket was probably 15 like probably decently quick
because, you know, but not cushman's.
Christmas is almost instantaneous.
Like I get there, I feel it deep into there.
And it spreads through within about a few minutes, I'm feeling
quite elevated. And and for me not being a super
strong user of indicas. This one was awesome.
This felt amazing. Yeah, it's a really
well-balanced hybrid. The experience is It's
fantastic. So if you're in your local
dispensary and you're going to be asking about different cards
flower, definitely ask them about Cushman, see what they
have in stock and always, you know, if you're a little bit,
curious about that, the cart doesn't look wonderful.
The packaging really isn't just awesome.
Not necessarily Stony, but just not, really their check, the
COA. Yeah, make sure just always
check the COA or if they don't have it on there, I would ask
him. Yeah.
The more likely All the information there, and all our
favorite Bud. Tenders out there, just roll
through Phoenix. I'll have to let him know and
social media. The dispensary I stopped by
while I was driving through Phoenix.
And was pretty cool experience. Very chill.
Cool people. And I got them all listening to
this podcast, so hell yeah, it's awesome.
But yeah, last thing I'll say on food-wise Munchies, this is
definitely a salty sweet type munchie.
It's definitely in a bag. Whatever it is, I would almost
say, like Chex Mix like a sweet Chex Mix like they got to go
honey. One I've seen that I would eat
the hell out of that bag. Yeah, I puffed on this a lot,
while helping my buddy build that home.
Oh, yeah. And so still like very like the
person in the review said, you can have a lot of energy, a lot
of focus or whatever when you're with friends or doing something.
And so that same Focus It's an energy, but salty snack.
I had a whole bag of sunflower seeds and just kept them up
there. Munched on am and, you know
dude, super munchie. Yeah.
Salty or sweet? Yeah, can't go wrong.
But this strain is often used for chronic pain and depression.
Chronic fatigue. Nausea appetite loss and
anxiety. Yeah.
Nausea. I actually actually use it when
I was, I don't know what happened.
I ate something. It was just Really bad instead
of going to the Tums. Mmm.
It's a couple hits off this and like instantly it was gone.
Oh yeah, I went to a friend's giving and I had like three
beers, which is a lot for me, I don't drink anymore, right?
So the next morning, I woke up and my God I don't I really
don't feel that great get the dead liver farts.
No, I just ha ha ha it did. No.
I just, I always feel like nauseous in the morning and that
and I'm just like And so drink water.
But you know me in the morning, I drink coffee too.
So yeah. And that's not going to go well
with a nuts, it's no. So obviously I start puffing on
a pen first thing in the morning and it takes it right away.
Yeah, best best, cure all, literally for hangovers for
upset tummy, maybe a visited some Buffalo Wild Wings and had
to to be tabs. Yeah dude, I mean, this is
cushman's is great for for the indigestion.
Problems that you may have as well.
You know, it's surprising. This one had coffee flavors
reported. I didn't taste that.
Yeah, meant I just thought he and he's chocolates earthy.
Sweet. And I'm like, I got the minty
and like a little hint of earthy like it wasn't bad because it's
still cannabis. There was a little you, of
course, really. It was a really sweet strain.
Yeah, I think it's over time that your palate will start to
be able to refine itself, where you can start tasting certain
things. And it just takes time.
So for everybody who's like, I don't taste that.
All I taste is burning plant. Will you're right?
Yeah. Maybe change up your experience.
Yeah, because depending on what you're doing is also dependent
on what you taste. Why is it a vaporizer?
Are you rolling joints? Are you smoking out of a bong?
So you got a little bubbler. Is it a pipe or you vaporizing
it through another day or you taking it from a distillate?
Well, even then it goes down to our, you igniting.
I'm with flame. Are you eating it with a heat
Rod? Are you using a hemp Wick?
Like what is the initial ignition as well, right?
Because even that can change the flavor that you get.
Oh yeah. And so yeah, it's incredible to
see the difference. Your experience can be from the
experience you start with and and that's just take your time
but I wouldn't slow low and slow but going with intent figure out
exactly. Why are you using that strain
and it? Can be medicine.
This for me, is for me as well. All right, guys.
