Welcome to Cannabis School. I'm your host, Jesse Angeles.
And I'm Brandon Elder. And we're here to talk to you
about everything pertaining to cannabis from vape, flower,
edibles, strains, and everything in between.
I mean, I wouldn't make that sound, but it was pretty good.
OK, egg rolls. Egg roll is already.
That's different. Yeah, very gassy, very gassy
tones. It's it's Ridge that will hang
with you. It's mixed with chem dog and
biscotti. Chem Dog and biscotti.
I love biscotti and I really like chem Dog.
I haven't had chem. Dog it It's been a long time
since we've had chem dog. We had him in those white carts.
Bangers. No who knows while.
Back. OK, there was, I was thinking
flower. Wait a minute.
No, wait a minute. What'd you say it was a?
Chem dog, I don't think, yeah. No, there was a chem dog I do
remember. That and that has been there was
a. Chem dog and a green crack in
that one. OK.
And that's been for so long. And then you mix those two
together in in like wax and you, you made Dragon's breath or
something like that. Oh, we made something.
Oh, you got gum? We should take that one out.
Oh, you're good. I'm just barely hearing it now.
I'll just swallow it. Yeah, that too.
That's what she's saying. But wow, man, this thing is
really oh, I'm I'm excited to what this.
I mean, it's almost got like this, almost like, and I'm
saying this with the nicest. It's almost got like this weird
shit smell. Really, I just get gassy notes.
Maybe that's a gassy notes. It doesn't smell more like
petrol. No, no, no, not, not like petrol
kind of gas, but like gassy, some of his tones.
Oh, like somebody farted in your face gas I what is that is that?
Into a lot of that egg roll crop dusted.
Crop, no. Crop dusted.
It's like, yeah, have you ever seen that?
There's this video of this guy who's, like, tried to win this
competition and you have to guess this smell and there's a
dude's ass. Oh.
My gosh. And it's dark and they're,
they're recording him with like night vision and the guy's like
over there and there's like a circle and they have to go to
each station and stiff. He puts his nose in the guy's
ass. And if you get it wrong, got to.
Go. And he's all and he it's like
almost between the cheeks and he's like, oh, oh, that smells
like ass Bing. And he's like this he goes.
He just look like what the fuck Like just made me sniff ass.
Could you imagine, like in the dark, you have no idea.
It's like going to one of those little kid things, haunted
houses when you're little, and it's like, put your hand in this
bowl of eyes and it's grapes. Put your hand in this intestines
and it's like spaghetti or something.
You're like OK, smell this. It's ass in your face.
Oh, dude. Especially if it's like some
dude's ass, right? And then you get like, the hairs
brush against your nose and you're like, why?
Right, I just threw up a little bit.
That's super funny though, because you think about that
like, I mean, I don't know, it's all for the gram, you know?
Let's let's get that. Did I not bring the dosing tool?
I swear I grabbed that. I don't wait a minute.
The little tiny one, 'cause he used to be in there and I swear
I grabbed it. 40 he's under me. He was not hiding.
Speaking of smell, no, just kidding dude.
I'm I'm a meticulously clean person.
Like I've got the wipes. Oh, you wiped before this time?
No, no, I mean no, I I I I didn't.
Well, no, that was funny. Such this is so taken out of
context. If you guys watch that clip,
that's hilarious. It made me last so many times
because your face you're like, but yeah, yeah, dude, fuck it.
And then the comet, this guy who was so stowed, he's like bro get
off his so disrespectful. Oh.
Man, that's not cool. Man, you shouldn't shit your
pants. And dude, that's not cool.
Not at all. I was listening to I saw this
clip of this actor who was on in a play and he starred with
Macaulay Culkin's little brother.
OK. And for those who don't remember
Culi Culkin. He looks like he's on drugs now.
Oh wait, no, he might look better now.
All the photos that I've seen though have been of his like.
Oh, he just looks like that. Like I, I had a friend who
looked like he was like Axel Roses Roadie from Guns and Roses
back in the 80s and 90s. And.
But he's just the way he looked. But this guy, he was talking
about how they were doing this play and there's a scene at the
1st where they're smoking this joint, OK.
And they use, you know, they use like clove or something like
that. Yeah, And when it was Mark
Ruffalo and he goes and then I light it up and he's like,
normally I'm like two hits and I'm like, I'm stoned, but I
thought this was fake. So I'm hitting it and the
conversation is going on for a while in the dialogue.
And one of the actors, she's never had Pop before.
And he's he's, I'm smoking it. And I'm all man, I'm really into
character. And then and then the girl, he
sees the girl and she's like. Oh my gosh.
And and then he's like looking around, He's looking at the
joint and he's like, what the and he looks and behind the
curtain is Macaulay Culkin's little brother, who's, I mean,
he's full grown adult now, but he is laughing because he hit a
real joint. He swapped it out.
He swapped it out for a real joint.
And so, so funny. And he's like, and they were the
best reviews we ever got on that play that night.
Could you imagine how funny that would be if people like actually
snuck that out, swapped it out for movies and stuff like, oh
hey, this prop joint, they're actually going to get high now.
It's. Matthew McConaughey had that
happen with a Snoop Dogg 'cause. He swapped out a joint.
Well, Snoop Dogg was in some movie that he was in,
apparently. Do you want to spark up?
Oh yeah, absolutely. So tell us more about eggplant
before I go on. Yeah, so egg roll is
indicodomic. I know.
Well, Jesse got something on his mind.
So nausea, pain, chem dog and biscotti.
This one says it's supposed to be a sweeter strain with, like,
plum tastes and little accents of black pepper.
So my guess is there's a beta carefulline and you might get
some peppery notes there in the back of your throat.
I am excited. Oh, yeah.
Beta, carefulline, limonine, humaline and linol.
So beta carefully is the most dominant terpene.
I can see why it would be called egg roll.
The flavors are definitely gassy, but they're not super
strong and it kind of gives this hint of like MSG.
Just kidding. I don't know man.
It's it's definitely got an Asian flavor dude, No joke.
I mean, maybe that's my mind, but it almost smells like a
Vietnamese restaurant. Like there's fun in the air.
That's weird. Is definitely coffee that beta
carefully and just goes right. It's not even to like the top of
my throat. It's like way down in here.
And in the top of your dude, it's foggy in here.
Yeah, well, it's because George Jetson is nicely cleaned.
So I put a brand new They have those lovely screens in the bowl
which keep most of the particulates from going down,
but then they get clogged with tar and stuff.
You can't really use ISO to clean that.
You just have to Chuck the screen and put a new one.
So today we're rocking a brand new screen in it, and Oh my God
does George Jetson pull. Oh wow, yeah, this is.
Yeah. Make sure to keep your Jetson
clean. Go to Jet Filtration Systems,
check them out. The link will be below.
I don't know if it's actually jet filtration systems to the
website, but it sure might be, and if not it'll be below.
Yep. So this is really not even with
all of the beta Cara filling in there.
It's a little spicy and the at the top of your lungs, that's
where I feel it. Yeah, it's pretty like way down
here or like up here and either really far down my throat or
really up at the top of my lungs.
Like it's a. Well, and for some those who are
new to it and they'll they'll smoke and they'll feel it and
they're like, Oh my God, like this could be a quick feeling of
panic, especially if you're not used to it.
Just know typically when you start to feel that when
something is high in it, would you say beta carefully, Beta
carefully, then lemonade. You'll feel that heaviness.
And that's pretty indic is this is a hybrid.
It's supposed to be an indica leaning hybrid.
That's what I was about to say because typically when I I feel
that burn top, I'm I'm actually pretty excited because I know
that it's going to kick in pretty quickly and indica
strains, usually indica leaning strains, I feel it more here
starting because the the coughing has dissipated.
The feeling of weighted is still there.
It's kind of weird. Yeah, like the.
Like it, it makes me want to cough even though I don't need
to. Yeah, I'm, I'm glad that the
coughing sensation, it's not quite as burning now in my
throat as it was initially, but it is just a very short, get
that out. And then like I said, it's kind
of almost a weight, not like a heavyweight, as if you feel pain
or that this one's actually supposed to be great for pain,
nausea and happiness, like just overall happy well-being.
Yeah, this really good. I'm, I'm, I mean, dude, it's
been a while since we've hit jets in here and.
Yeah, well, and last. Time we get clouds.
Just so clogged with the filter that it was so hard to pull
through. Those last ones were pretty
rough, but even then though I was still getting decent clouds
on that 1 and in this one it was just like a Fogger like in the
room. I was quite joking, yeah.
I didn't eat normally doesn't get that Smokey, but typically
it's been it's been a while. So yeah, the flavors are, are
decent. Now, again, if you're new to
cannabis and you're consuming, you're, you're like, dude, I'm
going to burn the flower, vaporize first, get used to the
flavors, understand what that is, start to read about each
strain and start to understand what these notes are and what
you can kind of expect. Like we had one in a dab form.
Frosted Flakes. Oh yes, and frosted Flakes, like
you're thinking sweet and all that, but it's very tiny, which
I mean, what is it? You know it's usually, but
that's. What I found the lower temps on
that especially, and I mean maybe that's the exact same
thing with flour burning it, you don't get the same flavors, it's
way higher temp. I will say this, after you've
been doing it for a while, for many years, you start to pick up
those first notes. Like after a while it's just
burning plant but. The very first hit.
That's why I like the very first hit of the first bowl.
When it's clean, you get the best flavors, even if you're
burning it. Once you've got that, you're
acclimated to cannabis flavors and that you can pick out the
notes even with smoking it from a joint, a bong, a pipe from
that very first hit. Yeah, yeah, I agree.
It's, I don't know why this is coming to my mind, but it takes
me back to like the 80s and 90s, like when restaurants when
people used to smoke in them and I just the smell in here just
smells like a Chinese restaurant where the owner of the place is
in the back. There's this Thai restaurant
here in Utah and every time I think it's Fo King Orem.
I've not dried that but I love their.
Dude, it's awesome. I'm sure it's around anywhere.
You're at fucking Orem, right? But Fo King Orem, right?
But, but when you go there there.
No, no, it's near the Fo King. It's next to it.
There's a Thai place, and this Thai place, you can guarantee
you're going to see the owner. And he's in a booth closest to
the kitchen. He's got a small TV, and I'm
talking TV down a little flat screen, a little box TV.
Yeah, and he's watching Vietnamese shows in an
incredibly annoying level. And then there's the annoying
music. And I'm like, this is
authenticity. I'm going to fucking get a
migraine. And he would like start yelling
at the TV, you know, interesting.
All right, whatever he's saying. I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm not trying
to butcher the language. It just sounds crazy.
I've not experienced that one. I've gone to many Thai ones and
the thing I do notice is a lot of them are family run.
So you'll notice the owner, the wife, the husband, whoever you
know, sitting there working. One of my favorite ones here
just in Ora Gosh, hang on Golden tie.
It's right over by the the movie theater over there.
Oh yeah, the owner lady, she's been there almost every time I
have gone for years and like it'd been gosh probably four or
six months since we had gone in and we went in and the owner
lady had seen Emily and I and she's like, oh where you guys
been? I haven't seen you in so long.
I was like, oh, you know we got take out but she's great.
I love that when when you have that connection, even at like a
restaurant or something, 'cause we used to when I was younger
and my parents had the assisted living centers, we used to go to
Uchi and Provo when it was there all the time.
What the fuck is Uchi? Teppanyaki.
It was right where Chick-fil-A is in Provo by Macy's.
Oh yes. That used to be teppanyaki.
Well, it used to be Benihana back in the 80s.
After Benihana it became teppanyaki and then after
teppanyaki they sold to an owner, it became Uchi and the
owner of Uchi. My parents became great friends
because we were always there. He would like cook our table and
stuff. He'd take food off our plates
and move it to other people. Like he'd just fuck around with
us because we were there so often and he knew us very well.
But that I, I love that because it, it feels like home.
It feels like family. It doesn't feel like I'm going
out to eat. It's like, oh, I'm going to my
buddy's house. He's going to cook mail.
We're going to laugh, we're going to joke.
It's going to be a great time and the food's going to be
delicious. And I loved that that's what it
was like. So I could like, I love those
really small, quaint restaurants like that, you know, that really
Monpa feel kind of stuff. You get the best food.
It's like the one we went to with us, Russ and Nate.
And who were seasons? Whole little little shit hole
kind of thing. Yeah, what you want the most?
Incredible food. I was like, oh man.
That was such a cool experience because when you went in there,
he they were like Nate. You remember Nate?
OK, OK. It's going to be awesome, dude.
It's going to be so good, so good.
He was like, he he was like a guy who's always like revving it
as high as he could go, especially when he talks.
I love the energy of Nate and he, we went to this restaurant
and they're like, you're going to think it's a total shit hole,
but you're going to love it. And we get in there and they've
got all of those red cups that Pizza Hut used to have.
And back in the day they used to have these red cups.
If you're listening or you're watching this, you know the red.
Color ones. Yeah, just straight red.
And they had like these hexagonal, they no, they were
like diamond pattern and they would stack him and you would
see him in the restaurant in these bins that they would bring
from the scullery. And so you pull out these cups
and I swear you remember they were in the same fucking buckets
basket thing. And there's like it looked.
Random shit all over. Well, it looked like a store.
It looked like an Asian market. Asian food.
Market. That's what I thought, yeah.
And then this tiny little set of tables in that shitty corner
too. OK, so.
Called mixed match chairs. Yeah, you think it's going to be
the worst food. You're like this literally looks
like I'm eating in a gas station slash market mix, but.
Russ and Nate were just Getty. They were so excited and he come
out though and they're like. Lamb lollipop thingies.
Yeah, rack of lamb, dude. He brought rack of lamb out for
us to have as an appetizer and we didn't know what it was going
to be. They just said whatever you want
to do chef, because and the prices, you didn't even get a
look at the prices. You just the price you just said
you go, what do you want? You go what you want, seafood,
chicken, beef and then you so it.
Depended on what he had the night before because sometimes
he had other delicacies he had made or done or.
You could recommend something and he'd be like, no, you're
going to have this. And then he would just
disappear. And he was like wearing shorts,
flip flops and a shitty polo shirt.
And the guy makes money importing spices.
And he just, it was so cool. It was so cool.
It was quite the experience, yeah.
Oh my gosh, I. Like that more than chains.
It's interesting to me when people go someplace and then
they go to a chain and I understand familiarity and, and
sometimes people aren't very adventurous.
So it's hard to branch out and go, well, I want to try
something new, even if it's almost the identical thing to
what you would eat at a chain. But it's a local thing, you
know? Still, for some people, it's
hard to branch out. I guess I'm not that way.
I love new restaurants, new food, new places, new
experiences. Because what if I try that new
restaurant and it's like the best place I've ever had?
If it's terrible, I just don't go back, you know, no harm, no
foul. It's not like I lost out.
But if it's an amazing experience, well, now I have
another like fantastic thing to add to my list.
It's kind of like a strain, you know, Hey, that sounds tasty.
That sounds good. That terpene profile, cannonoid
profile sounds like it would pair very nicely with what I've
enjoyed in the past. You know, well, I'm going to try
it instead of just, well, I know this strain has been really
nice, so I'm going to just try this strain.
I'm going to describe the the flavor in my mouth right now
that may resonate with somebody. You ever done bondo work before
on a car? No, but I know the smell.
That's what I smell right now. Interesting.
I smell bondo and and bondo has a smell that you can almost
taste. Is it kind of like fiberglassy?
Is it that little? It's very strange.
Now what I will tell you is that I really am enjoying the way I'm
feeling right now. It's very bright, even though
it's into killeening. I don't feel couch lock.
I don't feel tired. This is the most.
And it's a very slowest. Like awake in the codominant
hybrid that I think I've had in I don't even know how long.
Well and it said nausea on there, but it should also talk
about IBS. So TMI for you guys.
I take trizipatide. I am off semaglutide.
I'm on trizipatide. It's actually working way better
for my diabetes. It's keeping it in for other
people would be pre diabetic for me.
It's like awesome levels. And it, it really had the, the
side effect is that it can hurt your intestines.
Yeah, and you're just going to have to go.
Today's one of those days. But Brandon's like, dude, we're
going to get you fucking high. We're going to get you so stoned
and you won't even care about your guts.
And honestly, what it did like within I would say 5 minutes
after hitting it like it's a slow onset, yeah, flavour is
not, it's a very. Subtle onset, like it's not
overwhelming in any way. It's very slow.
Pleasant, but like some. Kind of almost feel like a wave
where if it almost goes as fast as it came up.
Yeah, some of them are such a short lived and you're like
whoa. And then you're like, wait. 30
minutes later you're like, I could smoke another bowl.
But you're like, wait, am I even high?
Like I don't feel like it's because it's not just I could
smoke another bowl. It's like, that was the end of
the ride. Like it's totally done by that
time. You know, some of them it's
like, hey, 30 minutes and you're like, OK, cool.
Now it's, you know, I got another 30-40 minutes of this
experience on flour just out of, you know, a bong or a bubble or
even a vaporizer. Totally.
It's. Is it pretty dry?
I feel like it burns pretty well with that.
It still burns like almost every single hit, but that's that's
the carry carry. Off this has a lot of give
though. Like, yeah, that's pretty Dang.
Wow, that's indicative of the grower.
I was surprised this only it's only about a 26% THC so it's not
super high but does have CBDCBCCBG.
Yeah, it's pretty common with dragonfly grower.
The dragonfly growers over there, they're they really
wanted to emphasize bringing more CBG and they're more of the
medicinal side, not just a get me fucked up side, 'cause it's
almost like it did the I love that.
You remember when we reviewed long time ago, Sleepy Joe, like
that shit. Oh my gosh, that I don't know
what was in that, but 'cause it's been so long.
But I love the package. I found a package of it.
Yeah. And it's like this.
It's like he won't even know where you are.
I know. And it's true.
Like I feel like there were some strains that just kind of really
make you stupid. Fuck, they really make you
stupid. Yeah, I mean, that one took you
down a a several pegs and you were like it.
It goes beyond couch lock. It's like just stupid mode.
Like there's where? That could be needed if you are
so overwhelmed with like life stress that you are so anxious.
100% dude, get fucking stupid. Yep.
And then come back. Yep, because I mean it's the
dude. It's like my wife.
My wife has the gummies when she's just like, I am over
fucking whelmed and it, I mean, it is, it's life and all that
stuff. And I, I'd heard somebody said
like, Oh yeah, don't just go use weed to get away from your
problems. Well, let's talk about that.
What are problems in your mind, right?
It's stress and what's stress? That's inflammation.
So if you have a lot of inflammation, what happens?
Your body starts to suffer from it.
And when your mind isn't OK because you can't let go of the
stress because it's so built up that you are just like it, it
doesn't matter if I try to be optimistic or not.
It's almost like fuck my life. Yeah, well, there there's books
like The Body Keeps the Score, other things that they say like
things are stored in there. And I've wondered how much of my
pain is stuff that's just stored that somehow I haven't released
or gotten rid of. Well, I understand that.
I mean, you, you grew up in a family where honestly just
sounded like a lot of your feelings were suppressed because
you just like, like you said, like I didn't have an opinion.
And that's it's, you know, it's made me more cognizant.
Like I'm I'm glad that we have those conversations bro, because
it makes me more cognizant of how I interact with my kids
every single time. And it's.
When you. We're both breaking the cycle.
When you say the like Xander, you know, Xander's crazy
depressed and he struggles and, and he's like feeling different
or doesn't belong to that. And I'm like, man, I that
resonated a lot with me and seeing him walk around your
house with his headphones and stuff.
And I'm like, that was me. I didn't exist without music.
Like I, that was my therapy. That's how I felt safe, how I
felt like some sort of something was.
I had headphones. You see me when we started
travelling, every country we were in, I was in London and
France the whole time. There's one headphone in my ear
the entire time. Every place we were, You see me
in Italy, I always had a headphone in like I was always
listening to music because that was.
Like safe space. Yeah, Safe space, yeah, because.
It was an escape for my mind. Dude, I, I, I'm 100% like I
remember when I was in the Navy and I had my Discman.
I have my Discman and everywhere.
Anti skip or anti skip? No this was a shitty one.
I mean you could get anti skip at this time but it was fucking
expensive. Like you'd be running like 6080
bucks for an anti skip. Yeah.
But I had this, this player dude, and when I went into the
Navy, it was really lonely because I was all by myself and
I wasn't as outgoing and charisma.
I was slower to do that at this time because I was completely
thrown out of my element. When do you think that changed?
Because the the Jesse I've known has always been outgoing,
charismatic, yeah, like that. So when did that kind of come
into play, do you think? I think what it came from was,
well, when I was younger, I was always like that.
Like, we had Amber on the show. We grew up together.
And she's like, yeah, you've always been like that.
And I might get to a point because I was more like, it was
a small town. Yeah.
There wasn't a lot of people here at the time.
I mean, comparatively speaking, this place is fucking so densely
packed. And everybody's like, dude, this
is a nice place. There's lots of room.
And I'm like, what the fuck you talking about?
Like, I live in LA and I'm like, oh.
Fucker. Yeah, well, 'cause they come
from these. Concrete.
Jungles. Yeah, like this now is crazy
busy in comparison to what it was 20-30 years ago.
You go about 5050 years ago, it was like a ghost town.
There was dirt roads and shit. They had like the stop light.
Well it's crazy because I was learning my grandpa, he was God.
They had just opened like their own massive depot in Orem for
their business. They had just put like a train
station into their depot for my grandpa's business because they
were doing well enough to have their own train station and
that. And he was heading, yeah, I
don't know. It was like, and they were
heading up to the depot, like heading up to the office in his
MG, this convertible MG, and the roads were dirt.
My dad was born. He's driving pro Orem on dirt
roads and he's coming up racing up this hill and he's getting up
higher. He sees there's a semi going and
he basically has two options because the MGS low enough he
can go under and decapitate and kill everyone or he can run into
the tire of the semi truck. So he runs into the tire and it
literally breaks every rib off of his spine like he is and he
has something that punctures him and goes all the way through his
chest. He is basically get a handicap
paralyzed for like a year, can't do anything.
It's over a year, so he loses the like he can't be able to do
all of that. So that company basically goes
away. But that dirt roads and that I'm
like, how in the hell this isn't even that long ago?
Dude, I remember when Geneva Road and Geneva Road and and for
those who are not Utahns. So we used to have little old
Utah had its own steel refinery and I lived in that town.
So every morning when I woke up, it's like, it's like an old
Pennsylvania town, right? It it's like you just see this
plumes of copperish smoke. Yeah, all the time, every
morning. And you could smell it.
Like, was this this smell? And it was this giant facility
where they were pouring molten steel forming it.
They were selling it overseas mostly.
And it was just crazy, dude. Because that's because now where
that seal refinery, there is a whole city now.
Oh yeah. And I'm like, I would not
fucking live there. Like.
No fucking that's where they're wanting to put one of the whole
live in. Electric Cities is over in that
Vineyard area. Well, they've got something cool
for the soil because every time I see somebody out there, I'm
like, I grew up here and that road was just like a desolate
Rd. There was nothing on it.
Nothing was on Geneva. Dude, that was the create.
Like I had a neighbor, he used to drive this like old Toyota
Celica and he we were outside and he pulled up to the house
and in the windshield was a bird.
And he gets out and he's literally like dusting himself
off from all this glass and the wings are wrapped around the
entire windshield. A bald eagle die, bombed right
at his car, kamikaze style. What the fuck?
If it if it didn't happen, it'd be fucking weird to make up this
shit dude. And it fucking hits the glass,
bam and buries its beak right through the windshield and just
wraps its body around. They had to call like animal
control and he's like, I didn't kill it because it's a federal
crime to kill this. Yeah.
This. But how would you do that as
you're driving down the road anyway?
Like what? Fucking weird, right?
That's insane. It was crazy because he was just
like. I cannot.
Could you imagine? Those things are huge, Like just
getting died. You're cruising along all of a
sudden boom. Like you would not expect that
at all because it's coming from up above.
You're not even right. That, I mean, it was fucking
nuts, dude. But yeah, it just, it takes me
back to like thinking about like more simple things.
Like I really like this strain right now because this would be
a really good therapy strain. And the reason why I say therapy
strain therapy has become really ubiquitous.
And that's awesome because it's it people are now seeing that
self improvement is a good thing and that it's OK.
And and they actually openly talk about it for like, you, you
go and watch like Mad Men series and the wife is having panic
attacks in the 60s. Yeah.
And she gets like, Valium. Yep.
And which is awesome. If you've ever taken value, it's
like, no, yeah, nude. I'll tell you this, though, man,
I'm so glad I never started doing morphine because
morphine's awesome. Like when I got my knee surgery.
ANYWAYS, But the the character when she goes to see a
therapist, like the therapist like tells her husband the
conversations that they have 'cause they didn't have the
rules that they have now. Even now though, there's been
times where my oldest truly needed a therapist and their mom
went in and pre primed the therapist with what they wanted
the therapist to believe. And so then my kid.
Didn't slit the therapist. And then my child didn't have a
safe space because then the therapist relayed everything to
my ex-wife and nothing was actually safe.
So the issues that my that my kid had, they couldn't actually
even talk about her address. And it became I'm like, so it
really didn't actually help even in today's aspect.
But I know there are still some protections that people can gain
or have gained from that. And a lot of it just has to
depend on, I mean, finding a therapist, dude, you, you have a
better chance of Yeah, I. Don't know it's even like
Bennett had said, he's tried a ton.
He'll go to a bunch of different ones and rotate because even if
you like 1 you, you get a different perspective and
sometimes maybe what you just need is a different perspective.
Well, honestly, that's what you, I mean, one of the best things,
dude, is when you're able to talk out a lot of your emotions
in a safe space. And what's the safe space?
A place where you feel no judgement that you can vent and
that you're not looking for validation or for advice.
You just want someone to hear you because you're so frustrated
or you're so excited, whatever it is, right?
And you feel like you can't share that with anybody.
Like that's a great place to be because it, it's, it's literally
like being able to talk to another consciousness inside
yourself because it's what they're trying to do.
They just keep asking you more questions if they're good, you
know, But the, The thing is, it's like what, what your poor
daughter went through. Like I, I think that there's
some really strong standards that need to be put on to that.
I do too, because that's, that's a boundary that shouldn't have
been done, especially in that instance, because it wasn't a
self harm. It wasn't like a all of these
things. That was like, OK, that you
shouldn't have gone through that.
That was a gross overstepping of your of your, you know, your
rights and that that you were supposed to have and.
Well, and that even goes with like, you know, life coaches.
Life coaches can fall into that one.
I don't know if other states had this, but Utah there was a bill
that was just proposed pass to make sure that life coaches now
have to be licensed with the state and the reason why is
because too many of them are trying to use it as a gateway to
therapy. So they're a therapist without
being a therapist without having a credentials or anything.
Basically, well, well, the big problem came from where, you
know, the LDS church was supporting that whole like
conversion therapy of, you know, pray the gay away.
Yeah. Yeah, and a lot of like.
A lot of religions. A lot of a lot of crazy
Christian religions started thinking that this is the best
way to face this issue going on. It's like, hey.
If electroshock therapy doesn't work, you might as well try
praying the day away. Hey, you never tried love.
No, that shit doesn't work. No, Jesus.
Said tase the shit out of them and see if it works.
If if thou electrocute thee, then you will see clearly you're
right. But but they, these life coaches
started to offer that. Yeah.
And, and you got to know, like when you, when you get somebody
who is a, a person of faith, they're they're pretty easygoing
and very accepting of other things and can deal with change.
When you've got fanatics, fanatics are like, oh shit,
we're not getting our drug the same place anymore.
Let's go to another dealer. And it literally is like they're
just like, well, because they used to do something and now
they don't do that because they figured out that that's just
fucked up or something like that.
Whatever their decision is their decision.
But when they're doing it and they're trying to say that,
yeah, I I need it that way still, like you should have the
option to pray the gay away. Like it's so funny.
Like my kids gay, what do I do? Shock them and, and, and force
them into some type of reprogramming, right 'cause
they're just using behavioral modification, which is psyops.
And it's so funny because they did that and I'm so glad that a
senator said fuck that. Yeah.
That's not cool because the mind is so pliable.
We've known that for the last 5-6 years of how extreme the
mind can go. And it's, it's saddening because
it's, it's not important. A lot of these reasons and
things that they have in their lives is not important, but it's
metastasized because they have so much connection, so much
influence coming into their lives that they're constantly
feeling like they're underneath the microscope.
And they feel so bad about themselves.
And they want to feel like a unique person because they can't
even celebrate that. So all these things start coming
up and then other people pray off of that.
You know, it's, it's so frustrating to see.
And especially like a life coach, dude, that's a good
person to have. I think it's a good thing to
have. Are they gonna be a really good
solution for your depression? Probably not.
Do you? And is therapy gonna be a good
solution? I don't know.
Well, all those things are at the end of the day's tools.
Right now there's. Tools for you to help you work
on you and if you're not working on you anyway, it doesn't matter
how many tools you have, if you truly don't use them or do the
work or whatever 'cause it's like, it's like reading self
help books. Oh, I've read all these books.
OK, well there's things they teach you in those books.
What things have we taken from these books and actually
implemented or tried to do? Well, I've read all these books.
That's great. Or I've heard all these words.
Oh, that's awesome. I've watched all these shows.
That's fucking great. What changes have you implement?
You know, and it's like, Oh well, these and you're like, OK,
well, again, you know, you want you want change or you want
these tools to benefit you. Tools are only as great as what
you do with them. I can have all these tools to
build a home, but if I don't know what the fuck I'm doing, I
don't use them correctly and I don't even use them at all.
I'm not going to build shit. They're going to sit there and
collect dust and I'm going to go, man, look at all these
projects I've got going on. I'm just going to feel
overwhelmed because nothing's happened.
Well, and that's why it's important to be able to look for
sources. They're going to be able to
help. You can't life on your own.
So you got to really look for others that can be able to help
you along the way and not thinking about like, well,
what's the quid pro quo here? Like honestly, it's just about
being open enough and sharing. And that's one of the things
that I've loved about the cannabis community.
It's what I explained to people who are new to it, just saying,
hey, look, it's it. This isn't like anything else
that you can buy because there's a understanding that comes along
with the culture. Like you have to know that a lot
of people who have been in the culture for a while, when new
people come into it, some of them can get annoyed and the
only reason why is because they've been burned by people
and or they were used by people. Yeah.
And just out of their kind graces man.
Like I don't know anybody who's a Dick who uses cannabis.
Yeah, I'm. Sure there are.
I'm sure there are, but I I rarely meet those people.
I feel like if you continue to use cannabis, though, you either
become introspective or you probably stop using it.
And if you do become introspective, I feel like
that's when you start actually trying to make changes.
Oh, totally. So, you know, but some people,
maybe that's why they, that's what my thought process was when
my brother's wife tried cannabis and she got a little bit, a
little bit too high, but probably off of like 6
milligrams. So not, not super high, but
still for her. But I realized I was thinking
about it. I'm like, I think it was because
she was hyper introspective and she didn't like the person she
realized that she was. And that's a hard realization
sometimes to be faced with, especially if it's an abrupt
thing you weren't wanting. If you have yourself shoved in
your face and you're not expecting that or not ready for
it, it can be a real heart awakening.
Sometimes it's really powerful if you don't understand.
That's one of the things like I really liked one of the comments
that we had was they changed their perspective on it.
The way that that many of us in the cannabis community do.
We use it for intent. Like I don't go well, it's it's
cannabis 30 somewhere like a better get high.
Like I'll go to it as a tool and sometimes I use it for coping
where the stress is so much, but I don't want to do something
where I'm locked into a couch. Like I like that like to help me
go to sleep because I I know about you, but my mind is going
constantly and when there's silence and I'm stressed.
Oh, it doesn't. Your mind just goes Yep.
Nope, I'll have to put something in my ear or I will take a good
edible right before I go to bed and then before I know it, it's
morning. That's when I'd have to get into
meditations and stuff because I'll find that the nights when I
can't quiet my mind or the nights when I'm just like OK
I'll try and do a meditation then cause and it's hasn't been
quite as bad lately, I've just been so exhausted.
But the rest like otherwise I feel like that's the way I do
it. I have to do a meditation that
really helps me quiet my mind because otherwise like sometimes
it just it won't shut up so. Yeah.
Hey, go check out some egg roll, see if it's something that suits
you guys, if it's something you enjoy and is up your alley.
Yeah, and go check out the website.
Tell us what you think. Give us some feedback on that
was some of the things you want. Let us know what dispensers
around you would really prosper from being able to be on
cannabis. School approved, but until next
time. Catch you, then take care.
