1 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,080 Welcome to Cannabis School. I'm your host, Jesse Angeles. 2 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,720 And I'm Brandon Elder. And we're here to talk to you 3 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,400 about everything pertaining to cannabis, from vape, flower, 4 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,840 edibles, strains and everything in between. 5 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,560 Well, welcome back to another 101. 6 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,000 We're going to talk about something that's pretty 7 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,720 personal. And really important. 8 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:35,000 I think so. It's something that some 9 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,600 cannabis users may feel, and this is might sound strange, but 10 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,480 they may feel embarrassed to talk about because they've got 11 00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:46,480 such a strong affinity to it that they don't want to look 12 00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:48,200 like a pussy. You know what I mean? 13 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,160 Cause we've talked to people, they're like, no, you should 14 00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:52,680 just ride it out. Ride out the uncomfortable 15 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,680 feeling. Yeah, just just go through it. 16 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,160 Just go. Through it anyway. 17 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,720 Yeah, that's and that kind of reminds me of kind of how you 18 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,360 were when you were first really getting into cannabis. 19 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:03,840 Like that kind of was pressed on you. 20 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,760 Well, I also didn't know any better. 21 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,800 There wasn't like, hey, I didn't have the understanding of take 22 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,840 nine part CBD to one part THC, utilize lemon juice or these 23 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,320 other things that can really help manage that. 24 00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:17,960 Experience. Yeah. 25 00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:19,400 Offset it. And. 26 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,560 And today what we're talking about is, you know, 27 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,360 reconsidering your relationship with cannabis. 28 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,600 Re evaluating what that relationship looks like. 29 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,960 And it's not necessarily saying, you know, you should stop or you 30 00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:36,880 should increase, But and and we've talked about tea breaks, 31 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,240 and I'm gonna go into a tea break that I just recently did 32 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,200 and and it wasn't, you know, we've talked about this on the 33 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,360 podcast before. It's actually when we started 34 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:49,240 this podcast, I had come off of a real bad episode of Panic 35 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,160 Attacks for almost a solid month. 36 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,760 Oh yeah, you remember? And that was Bubba Kush. 37 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,120 That kind of ignited it. But there was other other. 38 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,000 Factors, Lying factors. Right. 39 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:05,160 And now I just came through. I've been seven days off of 40 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,560 cannabis. This is gonna be my first time 41 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,080 using cannabis. I'm using the Air Vapes Legacy 42 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,200 Pro Steampunk Edition. It's pretty cool. 43 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,440 It's like Copper Levi and some, Yeah, just. 44 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,280 Like a piece of leather. Yeah, leather on it too, but. 45 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,400 It's. Really cool. 46 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,040 Like, see how it opens, right? It just kind of opens like a 47 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,680 coffin clicks. Really cool style it. 48 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,880 Heats up super. Fast, and you get the full 49 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,680 temperature control on there as well, so you can control degree 50 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,400 by degree. And that was my first puff off 51 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:43,320 cannabis in a week. And the reason why is, is that I 52 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,440 got sick. And then after I was sick, I 53 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,080 started to feel a little bit different, a little bit more 54 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,560 anxious. And then it got really bad. 55 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,800 And then I started having debilitating panic attacks. 56 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,080 And during that time I tried cannabis, Like when I was having 57 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,000 the panic attacks, I tried it and it got worse. 58 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,800 It wasn't doing what it normally would. 59 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,200 Do No, it was it was really affecting me. 60 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:11,080 And so that's kind of what we want to talk about today is that 61 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:18,120 there are times when you are using cannabis that maybe taking 62 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,720 a little bit of break from it will allow you to be able to 63 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,960 reset 'cause this is something I don't want to get out of my. 64 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,600 Maybe it's not the at that moment in life. 65 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,080 Maybe it's not the right tool for what it is that you're 66 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,280 needing to address at the moment, right? 67 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,080 And even though it can be a amazing tool for so many moments 68 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,440 and so many people, it might not always be the perfect tool for 69 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,760 every situation, for every person. 70 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:49,280 It's where I think that people have a kind of a misconception, 71 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,960 'cause I hear some people are like, I'm going to get on 72 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,880 cannabis to help with my anxiety, and I believe it can 73 00:03:53,880 --> 00:04:00,760 help with anxiety, but there are times where it is so strong that 74 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,440 taking this could actually make it worse, yeah. 75 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,160 It could perpetuate or push out anxiety over the edge and cause 76 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,160 panic attacks 'cause these experiences that are so horrible 77 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,720 that it really freaks you out. Now The thing is, is I've had 78 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,680 real bad panic attacks taking too much cannabis. 79 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:29,080 There was a time where I had taking cannabis and remember 80 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,360 that time we talked about where I drove home, where I had way 81 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,560 too much here and on the road I was in straight panic mode, Got 82 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,280 home, called you and you're like, dude put a bunch of CBD 83 00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:40,920 underneath your tongue. You should be good in about 1/2 84 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,960 hour hour and I did that and it helped a lot. 85 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:50,120 However, this was way different and this has a lot to do with 86 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,080 life. I am a type 2 diabetic and I've 87 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,360 been working really hard to get it under control. 88 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,480 You probably seen on the podcast I've been a little heavier and 89 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:05,040 slowly losing weight and that has been really good for me. 90 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,160 My blood sugars are extremely high. 91 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,280 To tell you what high is, it's a high three hundreds, low 4 92 00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:12,200 hundreds. Some are listening going. 93 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,480 I'd be in the ER. It gave me a headache. 94 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,360 That's it. It didn't do much as far as that 95 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,640 was concerned. Then then I'm getting down into 96 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,440 the high one, hundreds into the mid one, hundreds down to like 97 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:31,800 90 where it's normal and my body had this big fluctuation in that 98 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,560 and it changes like my heart rate and it causes a lot of 99 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,720 stress. And because of that, I've been 100 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:44,240 having pretty frequent panicky moments because of the blood 101 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,760 sugar change. And it's such a drastic 102 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,200 fluctuation for, Oh yeah, anything you're. 103 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,040 Used to. And on top of that, like I had a 104 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,960 close friend of mine who tell me he just suffered a major heart 105 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,800 attack. He suffered a major heart 106 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,760 attack. Like, I don't understand that. 107 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,560 Like it. He's, he's a little older than 108 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,560 me and he's having a heart attack like I was like, fuck. 109 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:11,720 So that really got me. So today I am smoking on a 110 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,040 strain that we'll review later on cereal milk. 111 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,200 And he's he's been reevaluating his relationship with cannabis 112 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,240 over the last little bit I'd say not even necessarily just last 113 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,280 week but like looking at because it's been a discussion of the 114 00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:30,760 last I feel month probably of constantly looking at it going 115 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,480 man am I using too much am I using too often am I doing this 116 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,000 like. So it's it's a constant 117 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:42,400 reevaluation and sometimes like we were talking on the phone 118 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:47,680 before this like that's probably a good idea to to is to re 119 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,360 evaluate your relationship with cannabis every 30 days. 120 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,560 Doesn't mean that's a tea break doesn't mean that that's 121 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:59,360 changing dosing but it's looking at what your consumption is has 122 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:04,160 it changed why has it changed You know is it situational is it 123 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,080 stress, anxiety whatever. Is it pain? 124 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,120 Is it, you know, a flare up in whatever condition that you 125 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,040 have? Or, you know, is it the increase 126 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,040 in the amount of times you use a day? 127 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,320 Is it an increase in dose that you use and looking at it and 128 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,280 going, do I need that? Can can I do less? 129 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,720 But at the same time, for medical users, no other 130 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,760 medication, You'd go cold Turkey, and so it would make 131 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,760 sense to taper down to use cannabis. 132 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,520 That's kind of something one I wanted to talk about. 133 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,440 And I told you because I thought that a tea break helps to be 134 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,400 able to kind of get rid of certain things. 135 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,280 But I I kind of feel like it's bullshit. 136 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,160 Because The thing is, is I didn't have any withdrawal 137 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:55,040 feelings whatsoever. And and to be very clear, I am a 138 00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,400 habitual user of cannabis. I was smoking four to six times 139 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,560 a day, whether it's a vaporizer, a bong or a pipe. 140 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,920 I was smoking frequently and it was from morning until night. 141 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:16,320 And that's exactly what Brandon had talked about, is that now 142 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,840 I'm wondering, like, if I'm consuming a lot more, maybe 143 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,320 there's something else going on. And that was some of the 144 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,920 precursors of telling my body like, hey, you're you're doing a 145 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,120 lot more than you normally do and it's starting to catch up 146 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,280 now. Even though I just smoked this, 147 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:42,159 I'm feeling OK it. Looks a nice little chill. 148 00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:44,840 It's such a great hybrid. It is a good experience. 149 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,480 And and we'll talk more about it on a on a review but to be 150 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,520 honest it was just it it wasn't like I was worried like I'm ever 151 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,120 gonna be able to use cannabis again. 152 00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:00,840 What I was thinking was is maybe I'm using it too often and maybe 153 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,160 I need to be a little bit more choosy about when as opposed to 154 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:11,160 I'm bored or I just need something to feel anything other 155 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,400 than I'm feeling right now. And that's that's kind of what I 156 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,760 wonder too. And I look at that and these 157 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,880 last couple days with some of the discussions we had, that's 158 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,800 really been a thought in my mind, is like, OK, when I go to 159 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,240 use, why am I using it? Am I using it because I'm in 160 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,360 pain and I'm like, hey, I need to like, I'm trying to take some 161 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,480 of that edge of the pain off. Am I feeling stressed? 162 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,320 And if I am like what's causing that stress? 163 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,080 Is it something that I can address and remove that stress 164 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,480 or like, you know, looking at it from that aspect? 165 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,960 But I've not been perfect with that, but it's been something 166 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,800 I've been trying to incorporate more because, you know, what is 167 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,840 the purpose of it? It's the intent behind it. 168 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,560 Well, and you shouldn't beat yourself up about it either. 169 00:09:56,560 --> 00:10:00,480 You know, if you are using more, it could be a sign that you are 170 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,360 in one pain. You're in a lot of pain. 171 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,880 And it absolutely like when I'm in a lot of pain, I will use 172 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,120 that. If my stomach is upset, if I 173 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,560 have intestinal problems, I will take that. 174 00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:13,520 It's way better than anything else. 175 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,880 It truly is. It's and that's one thing. 176 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,160 But like we said, like you know, do we smoke it when we play? 177 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,840 Hell yeah. We're having fun when we play. 178 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,040 You know, we play video games if we do disc golf, Yeah. 179 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,000 Yeah. Absolutely. 180 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,520 But I was finding myself using it like I'm going to go to the 181 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,040 grocery store and load up a bowl and take it with me, and I'm 182 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,280 going to bring enough for me to bring it on the way home. 183 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,720 I'll go to work. I wouldn't do it before work. 184 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,480 After work, I'll be driving home. 185 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,720 I'll be token on my little vaporizer, right? 186 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,880 Or on a pen. Or I would stop by the dispo to 187 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,440 pick up a pen because I just had to have something on me. 188 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,880 I had my pen in my pocket all the time. 189 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,640 I mean, I do. I always. 190 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,080 I know cannabis with me. But The thing is is like if it's 191 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,960 with me, I'm. I'm just using it constantly. 192 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,760 Like I don't stop using it. And we've talked about pens are 193 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,840 candy if it's in your. Pocket. 194 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:15,840 Easy to do? Oh. 195 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,920 Yeah, I. Feel like if I bring a vaporizer 196 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:24,080 instead and a little thing of flour, I'm way less likely to 197 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,320 just pull it out. It's more way more intentional 198 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:32,200 when I'm carrying my vaporizer. And usually those are I'm 199 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,560 hurting and this is a yeah, I know I need, I need this because 200 00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:39,240 I hurt really bad and this is just going to help take that 201 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,560 edge out. But otherwise, like, I realize 202 00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:44,360 with pens, pens are just that habitual candy. 203 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,600 It's in my pocket. When you were talking this 204 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,720 morning, you're like, yeah, mentioned something about a pen. 205 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,280 And I was like, and I went and I took my pen out of my pocket 206 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,720 because it had been in my pocket all morning long and I had 207 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,800 puffed on it several times around the house. 208 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,440 And I'm like, I wouldn't have done that if, like if it was my 209 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,160 vaporizer, I wouldn't have gone and loaded it up and done that 210 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,360 several times. It would have been way more. 211 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,800 But my because my pen was there and it's convenient and it's 212 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,800 accessible. I just pull it out and it's 213 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,960 like, OK, cool, take a puff. Well, why? 214 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,440 Well, I'm just doing stuff, so it's OK. 215 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,920 But I could do stuff without puffing on that. 216 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,560 Yeah, and and also to kind of think about the pens, like when 217 00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:27,800 you're dealing with distes compared to a live rosin or live 218 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,920 resin pen, I find that the distes make me more panicky. 219 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,920 They get my, and I mean even though they feel really good 220 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,200 too. You're gonna be wrong. 221 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,880 That's what I got into cannabis really with was. 222 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,040 But these were like so the biggest common one at the time. 223 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,600 Well, and and they it was cool. Yeah, like it was convenient. 224 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:53,600 Seriously, For like every for someone who is trying to get 225 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,720 into it where your spouse doesn't know or your partner 226 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,920 doesn't know or your parents don't know, It was the easiest 227 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,840 way and it was like, OK, well you can try and do this, figure 228 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,200 out, see if it works. Because sometimes it's really 229 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,440 hard to have that discussion before you even know if it does 230 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:10,800 anything for you. Totally. 231 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,720 And. And you don't realize the smell 232 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,000 of how strong it is too. Because like even my wife had 233 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,640 said sometimes she's like, you know, we we'd had a discussion 234 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,520 kind of a a semi argument about my usage. 235 00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:24,520 And she's like, I don't like it. Did you come in smelling like 236 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,960 like burnt flour all the time, 'cause I'd always duck out to 237 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,640 the garage and and get my pipe or get my little NJ Arsenal 238 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:33,440 bong. Yeah. 239 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,280 And then, you know, load the ball and be like, oh man, did I 240 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,600 just smoke that whole bowl by myself and I go, that's not that 241 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,640 bad. And then, but I I mean I usually 242 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,920 do a smaller amount like the bowl you have now it was flush 243 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,480 with the top. And for me, I I typically don't 244 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,760 smoke that much but I was and some of the things that I I 245 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,400 wanted to talk about that you know we, you may notice that 246 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:02,080 you're having is that I enjoy more flour to to flame to flour. 247 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,640 I know Brandon does. We talked about it, the 248 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,960 experience. It sucks, but it's it's the best 249 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,760 experience that you get. Yeah, it's. 250 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,480 Way better than the vaporizers. It's better than the edibles. 251 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,600 Better than distis, better than droppers, better than anything, 252 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,080 so. And I was thinking about this 253 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:23,840 yesterday because so I rolled a big fat joint and then I talked 254 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,040 to you about it the other day that I was going to roll into 255 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,640 the end of those joints, those carbon filters. 256 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,280 How'd that go? It was amazing. 257 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,760 It was a smooth, crazy joint and didn't even feel like I was 258 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,640 smoking a joint. Those are the same filters used 259 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,960 off of the happy camper pipes, Happy campers. 260 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,040 And I was like, holy cow, but it was still filling with flower 261 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,560 removes a ton of the carcinogens because of that. 262 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,760 And it was a really smooth experience. 263 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,920 I'm like, OK, but there's other other things like that you can 264 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,000 buy for your bongs. They're like Moose Labs is a 265 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,440 company that makes these filters that go over all of these 266 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,040 devices and help filter out a lot of the carcinogens. 267 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:05,120 So you still get the best experience, the best like and 268 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,960 it's instant when you do flame to flower like I feel sometimes 269 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,920 with a vaporizer it can be 1530 minutes to get the full ride up. 270 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,800 I mean, yeah. Like right now I'm feeling. 271 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,840 It some flowers do that too. They settle in over time, but 272 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,800 it's for the most part the you're there. 273 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,600 The experience is like, cool, you're here. 274 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,320 You might get a little bit of a rise, but most of it's like 275 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,520 you're where you're gonna be, I feel like. 276 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,600 Oh yeah, And it it just honestly like it's the best connection 277 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,120 because you're getting all the terps, all that stuff into there 278 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,040 and I know you're getting in a vaporizer too. 279 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:43,000 It just feels different. It's a slower onset it the 280 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,040 flavors are either more pronounced or kind of muted and 281 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,360 they kind of just taste like like we used to say with the 282 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,600 packs they taste like. Like roasted peanuts? 283 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,960 Which? Roasted peanuts is fine, but 284 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,200 when I'm using cannabis it's it's different. 285 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,080 There's a connection. This is something that our 286 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,760 ancestor did for a long time, is being able to put flame to flour 287 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,480 and enjoy that. But it was either. 288 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,160 It was an enjoyment, whether it was pain meds, whether it was 289 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,040 just a spiritual journey, whatever it is, he was able to 290 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,480 experience it. And even right now being a week 291 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,040 off. And This is why I kind of think 292 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,960 that tea breaks are bullshit because I feel the same as I did 293 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,200 before. I know that cereal milk is a 294 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,400 very chill strain. I won't go further than that 295 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,600 because we'll talk about that more in a in a more dedicated 296 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,760 episode. But you know, I I am quite 297 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,600 relieved to be honest. Because cannabis, it it's not 298 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,160 something that has to be in my life. 299 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:43,880 I want it to be in my life and when it's not there, certain 300 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,720 things I'm not as sharp on. And that's funny because we 301 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,800 talked about that, right? They're like, oh, short term 302 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,520 memory loss. Like, yeah, But I think it's 303 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,120 just a bullshit filter, 'cause there's just certain things that 304 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,680 just don't care to know when I'm. 305 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,680 Well, and it's it's really interesting because I see that 306 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,040 so many people that I know who I know have never taken any 307 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,200 prescription medications has that exact same thing where they 308 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,440 forget their train of thought, what it was they were talking 309 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,480 about all of these things all the time. 310 00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:17,119 So it really isn't something that I'm truly associating with. 311 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,200 Utilizing cannabis, going, hey, this makes me forget these 312 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,880 things. No, I noticed that's a trait 313 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,720 that happens in people all the time. 314 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,880 But that that also to kind of go off that now we use cannabis 315 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,240 specifically for with intent we we have for a very long time we 316 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:34,080 both. Used to just. 317 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,840 Yeah, but I mean even then though, I mean no, but I mean 318 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,240 you try to, but even even when you're using it, you don't get 319 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,800 to the point of inebriation. You're. 320 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,520 Elevated but not inebriated. And I think that like earlier on 321 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,880 when I was using cannabis, like, especially that pen like dude, I 322 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,120 would get fucking stoned out of my mind to go mow my lawn. 323 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,240 Because at the beginning, and this is, this is what happens. 324 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,880 And I think about I thought about this the other day. 325 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,160 I was just on someone else's show and we were talking about 326 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,800 this because I had watched some PhD talking about it and it 327 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,400 reminded me of when you take a tolerance break. 328 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,680 So the more you use cannabis, if you use it every day, the CB, 329 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,800 like the receptors in your brain, there are less and less 330 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,120 of them over time. Correct. 331 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,680 So when you take a tea break, those actually come back. 332 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,440 You can get those receptors back. 333 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,440 So if it's a longer tea break, you can experience like some of 334 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,000 those initial crazy highs. But. 335 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,480 Yeah, but again, it's moderation. 336 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,800 I mean, I I've never, I I, oh, I wouldn't say never. 337 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:41,520 I now use cannabis with intent and I have even when I was doing 338 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,240 it all the time during the day, it were smaller amounts. 339 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,880 I didn't try to take too much. But again, it was 'cause you 340 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,040 were feeling anxious, you were feeling stressed. 341 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,480 You were there was still something, you know, most of the 342 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,160 time when you're like, oh shoot, I'm bored. 343 00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:58,040 It's this anxiousness of, like, I don't know what to do. 344 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,280 I need to be doing something, but I don't know what that is. 345 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,640 But I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. 346 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,800 Yeah, and it's really hard to step outside of that and go 347 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:07,360 chill. Fuck out. 348 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,880 Just chill like you're OK Like, look at where you are right now. 349 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,600 Oh, man, I'm just, I'm sitting here. 350 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,520 I got like a tree. I got like, yeah, all right. 351 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:22,600 Yeah, right, right now is is OK. But it's really hard to be 352 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,800 right. Here, yeah, to be here. 353 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,080 Now. And so it's like when their life 354 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,600 is tough and there's all of this crap, it's we're not here, we're 355 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,920 here. And being here is where all of 356 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,360 the stress and the anxiety and the depression. 357 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:39,800 Comes from. Yeah. 358 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,120 And it it was that point for me, man. 359 00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:46,840 Like I had broken down just last Saturday, and this is, if you're 360 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:54,200 listening to us now. It was almost May and I I was a 361 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,600 Saturday morning and I woke up feeling it, but I was like, 362 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,080 that's OK. I'm gonna go make myself some 363 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,400 breakfast. And I make myself some 364 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,000 breakfast. And before I could even eat it, 365 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,200 it hit me. Hit me so hard. 366 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,240 And this fear of having a heart attack was right there. 367 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:13,800 And I've had this unreasonable fear that I was gonna die 368 00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:16,880 literally, 'cause I had a friend who had a heart attack. 369 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,320 It really hurt him, changed his life, and he told me all about 370 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,080 it. And for me, at that time, I was 371 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,200 thinking, fuck, I'm gonna die and I don't wanna die. 372 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,960 I I've got too much responsibility, too many things 373 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,880 that I need to take care of. And it got to the point where 374 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,000 that Saturday I was, I was bawling. 375 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,400 I couldn't, I couldn't handle it and I didn't know what was going 376 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,880 to happen. And I I had to call a doctor, 377 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,560 'cause I'm just like, I don't, I don't know what to fucking do, 378 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,160 right? And I cannabis definitely wasn't 379 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,480 helping me at the time And and So what I did is I was able to 380 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,400 get on certain medications to help with anxiety and and 381 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,360 depression. And it's not necessarily. 382 00:20:57,360 --> 00:20:58,920 Depression is the anxiety of life. 383 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,960 Do I want to die? Hell no. 384 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,000 Do I feel like I'm worthless? No. 385 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,000 Do I feel that everything is overwhelming? 386 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,800 Yeah, sometimes. And it became more frequent. 387 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,280 And my cannabis use was leading up to that. 388 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,560 It wasn't the cause of it. It was leading up to it. 389 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,680 You know what I mean? Yeah, When it's because that you 390 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,160 weren't still addressing it either and that it's still 391 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,400 there. And so it was just something 392 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,160 that was constant and that cannabis just, you know, 393 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,560 probably hyper fixated at in those moments and that just 394 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,800 makes it worse. Well, and it's exactly, you just 395 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,960 said it, you know, I wasn't addressing it. 396 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,720 I was addressing the underlying issue, what was going on. 397 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,000 And I can say yes, it was you know, my diabetes, which was a 398 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,960 part of it, but it was a lot of everything going on in my life. 399 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,560 And you know, to be honest, things have been going a lot 400 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,200 better and things are are doing well. 401 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,440 And you know what I'm involved in now? 402 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,080 It's been really rewarding and I've been seeing a lot of good 403 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,440 from it. But at the same time, it's 404 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,680 always in the back of my head that I'm not doing enough, that 405 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,120 I'm not good enough, that I gotta do more. 406 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,720 And and you know this and and many of you know this 'cause 407 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,960 you're dealing with the same. Struggle of feeling valued or 408 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,080 like that you bring the value or all of this stuff. 409 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,640 And yeah, it's it's the constant struggle. 410 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,120 But it's been hard. Like seeing you struggle with 411 00:22:22,120 --> 00:22:26,240 that the last couple weeks, like the last week has been fucking 412 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,800 tough for you. But yeah, that is bad. 413 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,520 We were playing video games couple nights ago and I didn't 414 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,560 tell him, 'cause I didn't, you know, wanna worry him. 415 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,840 But while we were playing this game, I am having a full blown 416 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,880 panic attack. I was holding the controller and 417 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,760 my hands were like this. Is that why I beat you? 418 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,880 Holy shit, man. It never happens. 419 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,560 I was like, Oh my God, this fucking sucks. 420 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,120 And I was just like, I couldn't. And you were like, yeah man, 421 00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:52,960 well, hey, I'm good. I was like, alright, cool. 422 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,080 And I just laid in my wife's lap just like fuck. 423 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,600 And I'm shaking, dude. My my teeth would chatter and my 424 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,280 hands would would vibrate all day long. 425 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,760 And you know, today and I and I, I was nervous about smoking 426 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,600 today. I really was nervous because I'm 427 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,880 thinking fuck if this I. Was nervous for you. 428 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,880 I've been like, it's been the weirdest week because we we're 429 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,160 best friends and we usually talk all the fucking time and I'm 430 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,520 not. And this week it's like, I know 431 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,600 you've been so crazy stressed and not that I'm like, yeah, I I 432 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,040 can't, like I don't want to stress him out. 433 00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:31,360 And he didn't. It just, it was just everything 434 00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:34,200 in life. And so now, like, even, you 435 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,680 know, puffing on this was great, I feel good. 436 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,440 I don't feel, I mean, do I feel a little bit in my chest? 437 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:45,400 Yeah, because it's cannabis. Like your blood pressure drops. 438 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,840 It's reverse tachycardias. What happens to you when you 439 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,080 first smoke? And so when your body notices 440 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,560 this drop, and noticing that there's nothing really wrong, 441 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,360 yeah, it increases your heart rate and then your heart rate 442 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,760 pumps the THC through your cyst. Body real fast and. 443 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,360 Then about 10-15 minutes it starts to level out and feel 444 00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:06,960 fine. They're strains that you don't 445 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,320 feel it at all in the chest, like that new one that we got to 446 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,640 experiment with, with one day we will give a name to. 447 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,560 And it was amazing because it it literally took all of my panic 448 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,280 and anxiety away. Yeah, high CBG, but like. 449 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,480 It was incredible. Experience. 450 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:27,040 So and it lasted hours one bull listen out I was it was 451 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,720 absolutely amazing and and but at the same time like you know 452 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,080 it's an enjoyable thing to me. Cannabis unites so many people 453 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,360 it helps so many people whether it you know I would rather 454 00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:42,200 somebody saying you know I had some liquid courage saying I 455 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,600 went out in the parking lot puffed a little bit and got out 456 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,080 of myself saying why am I so fucking stressed about meeting 457 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,000 new people. Yeah, and a lot of people do 458 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:49,480 that shit. Oh. 459 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,280 Yeah, I do all the time. The show yesterday that I came 460 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,880 on, I actually, I puffed a little bit before but I actually 461 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,960 took a micro dose of psilocybin because I was like yeah, I just 462 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:07,440 no, I it's been a weird month. It's been a hard. 463 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,400 Yeah, it's been a hard month for you too. 464 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,640 And. But things are good. 465 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,800 Things are good, things are great, so. 466 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,360 Yeah, everything that happened with you and all that, I know 467 00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:20,560 we're all talking cryptically. If he wants to share, you can. 468 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:25,280 My my dad had a crazy surgery and it was he had a really high 469 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,520 risk thing. But he couldn't have made it 470 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,160 through. And it scared the shit out of 471 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,560 everyone. And the doctor didn't want to do 472 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,760 the surgery. And I basically rewrote his will 473 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,920 for him, went over and added like, trust addendums and stuff 474 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,560 for the family and like, tried to spend as much time with him 475 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,280 as I could. And then he, he made it out. 476 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,480 Yeah, they pushed the surgery up like a week early. 477 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,200 And that was fucking scary. Scared the shit out of me, 478 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,040 'cause I was like, wait, no, like I. 479 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,280 Haven't had enough time like you. 480 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,000 Just took a week from me maybe and then it went great and he 481 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,640 came out and he's off being his normal crazy self walking and 482 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,920 working and doing crap and crazy bastard. 483 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:13,200 I know so, but it's been crazy, stressful and so. 484 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,840 So during that stress, did you find that you were using more 485 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,600 cannabis or less cannabis? Both, yeah. 486 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,080 Depended on I actually. If you remembered. 487 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,400 Yeah, I well, I used more in certain moments because I also 488 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,760 stepped off my longboard funny and twisted my knee and my. 489 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:35,400 Wrinkle. So I was using like high doses. 490 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,880 Yeah, I was walking with a cane for three weeks and my it still 491 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,920 is sore. Like it still feels really weird 492 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,280 down my leg. But it's not, it doesn't hurt. 493 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,800 It's just like a weird twingy, achy feeling now. 494 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,920 But it's been crazy. So I I've just, I used more 495 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,480 microdoses because I thought it'll help clear my headspace. 496 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,840 And I am thankful for that because I have no idea what it 497 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,080 would have been like if I didn't. 498 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:07,120 But I definitely have utilized like more cannabis at times, but 499 00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:10,840 then less at others because I'm like I'm spending more time with 500 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,520 my dad. So I'm not using as much 501 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,520 cannabis because I'm hanging out with my dad. 502 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,640 But at the same time, I brought along my vaporizer and my dad 503 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,360 saw me use it more than I. You know he's ever seen me 504 00:27:23,360 --> 00:27:24,720 consume. Well, and then, but 505 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,760 understandably so. And that's another thing I'll 506 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,640 be, you know, re evaluating it. Sometimes I feel that more use 507 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,240 is not necessarily a bad thing because you are trying to be 508 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,360 able to help your body. Now one of the things you'd 509 00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:40,120 brought up before, even with medications you don't just cut 510 00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:41,840 cold Turkey. I will say this. 511 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:47,120 I feel bad for those who have a hardcore dependency on this, 512 00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:49,520 where if they go without, they feel it. 513 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,880 I did not. Now I was more preoccupied with 514 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,720 being fucking panicky all the time. 515 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,600 I think it depends on what it is, 'cause I don't know if I 516 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,080 would feel, I mean, I would feel weird because it is always in my 517 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,320 system and I would feel a lot more pain. 518 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:10,840 But I don't know if I would honor, like, I don't feel a need 519 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,440 to take it. It's never like I need cannabis. 520 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,680 It's like, man, I'm hurting, man, I'm stressed, man. 521 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,280 I'm whatever. And I've got something. 522 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,720 I have a tool that I know will help with that because I know it 523 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,120 helps me with that. And so for me, I look at it and 524 00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:31,600 go man, am I stupid if I don't go use this tool I have that 525 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,640 helps me and that's how I see it sometimes. 526 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,920 But then I also look at it and go man am I using this tool too 527 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:38,920 much? Like. 528 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,400 Do I need this tool this often? And so it's just looking at it 529 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,280 differently? Like I actually through this 530 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:51,200 month, I end up making my own THC infused lotion and I've been 531 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,440 rubbing it on my leg every single day. 532 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,360 And everywhere else. Yeah, everywhere else. 533 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,320 Because I'm like, I want to be soft, Daddy. 534 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:02,440 No, it's it's been good. But I think in that I've used 535 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,680 less like smokables. I've also been thinking about 536 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,480 making a tincture again, kind of like we've been talking and 537 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:16,840 going, hey, would that help? Just take like the For those who 538 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,680 use it for stress, would a tincture be great for that mild 539 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,160 just taking the edge off through the day? 540 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,760 Oh yeah. Or, you know, like we had talked 541 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,880 about too. Like, I've been noticing that 542 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,360 I've been coughing a lot more and wheezing sometimes. 543 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,720 Like after I smoke like like, you know, I hear something like 544 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,040 that and I'm like, what the? Fuck. 545 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,960 And I clear my throat real quick, thinking that that's 546 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,800 going to take care of it. Taking that time off, I already 547 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,000 noticed a difference. And I'm I'm wondering if because 548 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,320 we talked about it a little too and I think the next tincture I 549 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,920 make, I want to actually incorporate Mullen into the 550 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,160 tincture. Just to kind of see how it 551 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,080 affects to. See how it will help with like 552 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,960 any congestion or that that does come from consuming cannabis. 553 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,960 Nice. I like that. 554 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,280 I like that because, I mean, it's something that'll help out. 555 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,200 I mean, even right now, like I feel it. 556 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,960 I definitely feel in my head. I feel great. 557 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,760 Like, I just feel so chill. And I'll tell you right now, it 558 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:20,240 it has made it more intense. Did it make me regret going on a 559 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,320 tea break? It was unintentional. 560 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,800 But I thought, you know, sometimes maybe I don't need to 561 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,000 use it every day. And that sounds strange to me 562 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,240 because I use it every day. And so I'm just like, you know, 563 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,680 I'm not gonna give myself a hard time anymore for using it every 564 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,480 day if I do. And if I wanna take a break, I 565 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:37,560 wanna take a break. Yeah. 566 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,520 It's just what what feels right for you and you know, don't 567 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,560 shame yourself whether it's taking a break or not. 568 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,800 Like it's it's OK to take a break. 569 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,640 Yeah, Or don't shame yourself because you know you've got a a 570 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:56,120 significant other that is not really cool about you using. 571 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,440 Like I met this kid at the gym, you know, weeks before this 572 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,800 happened and he was like, you know, what do you do? 573 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,040 And I joke around, of course, you know, I smoke pot for a 574 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,640 living. And he was like, man, that's 575 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,440 where it's at. And he's got like this Brigham 576 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,320 Young University shirt, like the Mormon of Mormon churches and 577 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,320 this kids wearing it. And I was like, well, that's 578 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:18,520 awesome. Do you partake? 579 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,320 And he goes, yeah, but I can't. I've got a fiance now and I'm 580 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:22,680 like, what does that have anything to do with? 581 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,920 And he goes, well, she'd be really upset with it. 582 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,640 And I'm like, oh, so you lied to her. 583 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:28,960 And the girl was like their friend. 584 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,720 She's like, yeah. And they're like, look, if 585 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,720 you're not going to be honest with yourself or her, then dude, 586 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,160 what's the point? Like if you using it just to 587 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:38,760 have fun. I totally get it. 588 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,600 I totally. Get it if you're If you can't be 589 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,320 honest with yourself or your partner, that's hard. 590 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:45,920 And then you need to re evaluate. 591 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,760 Do I need to continue doing this? 592 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,600 Do I want to continue to do it? Do I enjoy the feeling or do I 593 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,760 just do I do. I see. 594 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,560 Is there benefit and value that I'm actually getting from this, 595 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,760 right? And then, yeah, it might be 596 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,720 several conversations over many months or years with your 597 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,760 partner going because like every one of us, this stigma has been 598 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,880 perpetuated through everything. Oh yeah. 599 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,240 And so it's even we've talked about it. 600 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,560 Oh, hey, am I consuming too much over the years? 601 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:14,800 All the time? Yeah. 602 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,280 Because it's like, oh, maybe I should take a tea break, because 603 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,480 I feel like. Maybe I'm using it too much, 604 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,360 maybe I'm too dependent upon it. Yeah. 605 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,240 And versus just seeing it like anything else, I'm just. 606 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,440 Gonna take a break? Yeah. 607 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:27,480 And that. And that's OK. 608 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,000 Like, it's it's like a diet. It really is a diet. 609 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,400 And there's certain things like we get our greens every day, 610 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,280 right? And we like our greens. 611 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:39,520 No big deal. But at the same time, am I doing 612 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,280 too much? Maybe. 613 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,040 But that's it for me to decide, not anybody else. 614 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,120 And so it's like, you know, kind of concluding all this is that 615 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:52,720 it's OK for me to take time off with it, with feeling out. 616 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,600 I have to have it. If you struggle with pain, if if 617 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:02,080 this actually helps with your anxiety, then I wouldn't stop 618 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:06,000 and I wouldn't. I wouldn't feel bad about it. 619 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,480 I don't need to tell anybody. I'm sorry for using more. 620 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,180 But it's always good. Just maybe it's good to re 621 00:33:12,180 --> 00:33:14,520 evaluate what your consumption looks like. 622 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,600 Or what you're consuming, right? Maybe it's maybe too much flour, 623 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,080 Maybe you're smoking way too much flame to flour and you 624 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,760 start to develop a smell around you, dude. 625 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,360 Like after a while, like, I I just was not sensitive to the 626 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:31,440 smell of cannabis. My wife's like our closet reeks 627 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,720 and I'm like what? I'm like it's in a it's it's in 628 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,560 a box. It's just like it's still reek 629 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,880 and then Roz like and then days after like going in I'm like Oh 630 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,960 my God it fucking stinks in here. 631 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:47,120 So then I got a new smell proof bag and took it all away. 632 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,520 So it's just like, you know, OK yeah, I'm, I was way more 633 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,440 sensitive. I'm actually looking forward to 634 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,680 enjoying it differently now because I think I'll be a little 635 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,880 bit more sensitive and the flavors are more pronounced. 636 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,040 It's just good every once in a while, just good. 637 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,440 Declare the palate maybe a few days, maybe a week. 638 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:06,960 Yeah. Some people go like a whole 639 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,440 month or a year and they're like, yeah, I'm just taking it 640 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,080 off. Well, if you really want to 641 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,719 experience that same euphoria the first times you're mowing 642 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,400 the lawn got really high, you can. 643 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,000 You can take that tolerance break, let those receptors come 644 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:24,480 back and go, experience some really fun new highs again, but 645 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,520 at the same time, be cautious because that also comes with all 646 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,000 the new fun experiences that you might have started with the 647 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,040 first time. Yeah. 648 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,880 And also on top of that, like thinking that your tolerance 649 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,360 will just magically go lower because of that. 650 00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:41,199 That's a misconception. Yeah, it doesn't necessarily 651 00:34:41,199 --> 00:34:42,719 mean that your tolerance like that. 652 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,320 You can't handle the high doses. My buddy took a year off of 653 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:51,639 cannabis and he came back and could smoke just as much or take 654 00:34:51,639 --> 00:34:55,159 as many edibles and yeah, not worry about getting crazy high 655 00:34:55,159 --> 00:34:57,000 to the moon. And it was. 656 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,440 Even now, like I mean I I smoke this and I feel fine. 657 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,240 Oh yeah, I believe that. Totally fine. 658 00:35:03,240 --> 00:35:07,520 And it's just part of it. But I I just you know, 659 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,680 concluding on it. I really, you know, I want to 660 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,120 stress it do not feel bad about your cannabis shoes. 661 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,480 Don't feel like others judging. You need to weigh on your 662 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,320 decision. That's your decision alone. 663 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,600 If it becomes a problem, if that's getting in the way of 664 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:27,360 your work or your relationships or even your own productivity, 665 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:31,720 yeah, re evaluate it going shit, am I turning into a fucking 666 00:35:31,720 --> 00:35:35,680 Stoner because I there's a Gen. I function do I like? 667 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,280 Am I still the human or? Am IA I'm a Stoner? 668 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,320 Or am IA functional Stoner? And I'm a functional Stoner. 669 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,440 I can do a lot of things. I can complete a lot of tasks, 670 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,520 but if I was just staying home, getting high all the time, man, 671 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,280 I even thought about that. If I was rich, fuck. 672 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,000 What would I do? I'd be bored, I couldn't do. 673 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,560 That I would. I would build A room on my house 674 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,240 that had ventilation to just pull it out of that room all the 675 00:36:01,240 --> 00:36:03,760 time so nobody would know. Well, my neighbors would 676 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,200 definitely know, right? But but you know, I would don't 677 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:08,800 get rid of the house like his dad smoking in here. 678 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,480 Like, fuck, no.

All right. 680 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,920 But even that, like, yes, I might smoke, but I would still 681 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,400 do so much because it's it's not something that I can never just 682 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,400 sit there all day.
