Welcome to Cannabis School. I'm your host, Jesse Angelus.
And I'm Brandon Elder, and we're here to talk to you about
everything pertaining to cannabis from bait.
Flower edibles. Strains and everything in
between. Oh, hey, welcome back.
Welcome back, indeed. Jesse's doing pretty good over
here. I'm doing good.
He's just jamming out. What?
What's got you in a rocking mood?
Oh, you know, we did it. We we're doing reviews today.
So the strain we had before was really awesome.
And it actually put me in a really good mood to thinking
about the strain that I was like, dude, you know what?
We haven't talked about this strain.
No, we haven't, which is surprising because.
I kind of like it, just from the name alone, yeah.
It makes me think of Rob Zombie back in the day.
Like with White White Zombie, I'm hearing this.
Doom, doom, doom, doom, doom. Like I'm hearing this like rock
song in my head. Thinking about this one because
it's such a cool name. It's also an offensive name to
some. It is, I think.
People can be quite offended by, yeah, noises.
So it could go by a ATF. ATF, yeah.
It could go to ATF or? Alaskan Thunderfuck boom boom.
My Alaskan Thunderfuck that the name alone.
It's going to grab your attention, but being that this
is a sativa dominant, is that right?
It is, yeah. It's definitely a sativa
dominant, right? I tell you, man, this is the
strangest strain I've ever tried, and I love it.
Yeah, it comes from a unnamed Northern California stream and
an unnamed Russian Ruderalis strain.
Which is really weird. And then crossed with an Afghani
indica land race strain to create Alaskan Thunderfuck.
It's it's a different one, man. And the reason why?
Because for you, How do you feel on Alaskan Thunderfuck?
Relaxed, creative, energetic, Knocks me down like it is.
Puts me straight to sleep for a sativa.
Now again, we know somebody's gonna say some strange bullshit,
bro. They're bullshit.
I understand that totally fine. However, Alaskan Thunderfuck,
what Brandon described is exactly what I expected and what
I got was to have. A good nap, yeah.
It passed me out because I was like in the middle of the day.
And I'm like, I'm going to try it because it's sativa.
I'm like, I'm let's go and Nope, it put me down.
It was weird. It was really weird, but it
turned to be one of my favorite. The flavor is really awesome
now. We had this off of cart and it
was good. Yeah.
But Utah cart? Yeah, but it was good.
It was. No, it wasn't.
No, it was California. Yeah, it was a California one,
so it was good. It wasn't bad, it was just
crazy. It totally did not hit the way
that I thought it was going. To hit it was weird that your
experience was so drastically different than mine with that
same line. But I will say this is a a
really weird strain because the THC percentages start at 13% and
they go to 27 with this. Those are the range of the THC
testing percentage. So definitely look at what it is
that yours is testing out. Where's your range, what it is
that you're getting. Most of them are averaging
around 22, but you will see quite that swing of them there.
Yeah, it is. And this strain though, I want
to go to the flavor profile. It was very mild, not spicy at
all. It was really smooth for a cart.
Now I will say this for a lot of times when you're with a
distillate, not a live rosin, but more on the distillate side.
I get super coffee. If it's heavy in the Terps, I
wonder what kind of Terps are in there.
Let's take a look and see do do. Do so.
Alaskan Thunderfuck is known for like Woody Aromas pine.
I didn't get a lot of pine, but but I got the woody aromas.
Yeah, supposed to know what that means.
Earthy, so that means like a trigger.
Yeah, exactly. Just like a trigger.
Supposed to have earthy and nutty and a chocolate like scent
nutty. I could get that.
And hints of Lemon as well. That person could went way too
deep. That's weird.
Yeah, I don't. That's so much.
I didn't get that it was chocolatey, but it was lemony.
It was. It was also earthy and woody and
nutty. It's just too many descriptive
words there. I think they just got a little
bit high which makes sense. Makes yeah, it is.
It's just an unusual strain. It's not a big you're not super
chatty, but. You definitely weren't, No.
You were so tired, dude. It knocked me out like I I still
have like 1/4 of that of that cart now and I use it only when
I can't sleep. I mean, that's great to have
that in my medicine cabinet. Yeah, it literally like the ones
that I would put in my medicine cabinet.
Alaskan Thunderfuck for sleep. Sour Diesel for headaches,
migraines, things like that. Blueberry for rapid heart rate
or relaxation, Just chilling out.
That's a really good one. Like to calm me down.
Yeah. So it's cool.
Like, I I I feel that way every time.
Like now more than ever. Especially when my wife's like,
my stomach is hurting and I'm like, how long ago did you eat?
And she tells me and I'm like, okay, is that you drinking
water? Like, yeah.
All right, let me get it strained for you.
Like blueberry muffin is really good for gut.
Oh yeah, Well, it was. Really good for gut.
And it's great for headaches too.
But that's the cool part, right? Alaskan Thunderfuck is for me.
It is purely A medicinal one. I would say this isn't a rack
one for me. There are some, like I read
reviews on. It was awesome.
Like people are just having a great.
It was a very great strain, very different experience than you.
It was kind of a creeper though. Like it took a little bit to.
To settle in, it can be a little bit of a coffee, one like a
coughing strain and supposed to be a really like, pungent aroma.
Oh yeah. I bet the buds are incredibly
pungent though I would imagine so.
You just. Yeah, this is supposed to be
like a strong aphrodisiac. Good for hiking, stuff like
that. It's just funny that yours is so
much of a sedative. Experience with, which is cool.
I mean, it says insomnia, migraines.
Everybody's like talking like, oh, it's awesome.
I'm just totally chill. This is great for getting out
there. Knock my knock my Dick right in
the dirt. Yeah, it's funny.
It just knocked out. With like headaches, not
migraines, which is cool. And that's another way this is a
good see, that's an allaround medicinal strain.
There's a difference. There's a difference with each
strain that you hold. Like which one word?
What do I need right now? What can help me Right now with
what I'm dealing with, I'm going to do this.
Well, because the experience from like this one to say even
kosher dog, the one we just did before, way different
experience. One's a lot more weight, chill,
just very, very present. And Alaskan Thunderfuck,
especially in higher doses, can make your mind race or, you
know, make someone anxious potentially, or even make you
fall asleep. Yeah, well, and that's the thing
too. We have to remember that our
endocannabinoid system changes with us.
It's, it's evolving. So what?
And and again, it also comes down to where's your source,
right? If I had a consistent source of
ATF all the time from a specific grower that was local to me,
that I would. Know.
Yeah, you would be more consistent with a distal.
I don't feel that that's very true at all.
So you're going to get like you could get a cart from 1
manufacturer and get another one, same strain, totally
different feel like Jack Herrera.
For the last two Jack Herreras I've had, they've been awesome.
But the first Jack Herrera I had wasn't as awesome, it was okay,
but it was just the manufacturer.
So what they put into that is different from the other carts
that I've been able to have in Jack Herrera, like when I picked
it up and. Arizona.
Yeah, Arizona. It was great.
It was so awesome. I felt great.
Like I had Pineapple Express out there and it wasn't as uplifting
as I normally experience with Pineapple Express, especially
with flour. Like, I'm like, dude, this is
this is prim but. We're like the concentrate of
Pineapple Express. That was great too.
And I mean, but the again though, I could have that exact
same strain somewhere else, but because of how it was grown,
where their elevations at all these different factors into it,
now all of a sudden it's just sucks.
Like if you think about it, like if there was like, say, cannabis
was 100% legal everywhere, no restrictions.
If I was a betting person, I'd be going to the places that
produce the best cannabis and then ship that shit.
Right. Because there's places where
we'll get like Colorado. No beef at all, but.
It was my first, my first introduction to legal
recreational flower, so you know.
I mean the the cannabis state, no matter where you're in.
But at the same time, I also realized that climate makes a
drastic difference. In elevation too.
I would imagine so, because when you get California weed, bud,
chronic cannabis, whatever, right, Wherever you get it from,
you get it from California, depending on the area, you're
already excited like anybody who get it.
I I don't know so. Let's talk about this a little
bit. One of our favorite audience
members, Yeah, Kyle down in Texas love Kyle.
He, he actually sent me a video a couple weeks ago and was like,
hey, I have a question because we were talking back and forth
and he was saying, you know, wouldn't the flower be the same?
By dryness from state to state, if it's grown indoor, if it's
grown you know the same way, shouldn't it be?
And I was like, well, no, because your climate is going to
be different. 99% of all growers out there aren't going to 100%
control that humidity. No.
Maybe there is one out there that is, but most of them
aren't. So then you're going to have
humidity that affects the entire grow, then the second you.
Pull it off to cure you're having humidity, temperatures
and temperature differences there and then as after it's
cured the whole time it's there as well, the air outside is a
higher humidity content and so even when I've gotten flour from
California and then I open it up, it is always so much
stickier, danker feeling than anything I get out of Colorado.
Even if I get an outdoor grow from California, I can get an
outdoor grow that is just really well grown and then sealed
properly packaged and that stuff is so dank.
And I get an indoor grow from Denver that is really well
grown. They control the humidity, the
process, everything like that. And I get it here, and it's a
drier product. And it's and that's also
preference too. I mean, some people like a
little bit more dry herb. I get that.
It's true, especially with your grinder, right, That that shit
gets clogged. It's so hard sometimes when it's
in there and it's really sticky, you're like trying to twist that
ground, like that new grinder I think that would think would
just shred it. Yeah, that thing's been so
smooth. Yeah, I was just like, whoa.
Jesse got me this super cool one that has a spout on it and it
shoots out the flour into like your bowl or your joint or
whatever. That's beautiful.
And it spins so smoothly like butter and then just fills up.
I mean it just it's cool because it contains everything inside of
it. Like if you just you don't want
to leave it out getting dry for those who are like, no, I don't
want it to, I don't want to get drier than it is, but exactly
what what we're talking about with it.
It's just so it really does depend on your preference,
because there is drier herb that I'm totally fine with, yes.
Oh yeah, totally fine with it. Depends on, I think the starting
quality what it is. Because there's also just some
that their quality is not great and if it's dry and not great,
right. And it's like the one we have
with ATF because it was it, it's from a California company,
right. But The thing is, is that where
wherever they got their product from, there was a different
process done with them. Yeah, instead of the cheap
garbage shit that you can typically get now in Utah, it's
very regulated and watched over. I wonder if we can find this
here as a Utah strain. I want to have you go through
and try it again as like a flower or something from here or
another place that we can get as long as it's flower or a
different concentration. Yeah, yeah, that'd be cool.
Because this is also supposed to really help with ADHD, ADD,
really hyper focusing on one task and obviously my youngest
is. Not at an age that I'm thinking
of her using these, but when she gets older, that is definitely
something that I would consider. And you know, having knowledge
of strains and things that work for that sounds.
Yeah, with those that sounds amazing because when you can get
that type of feeling, especially for like a DH, because that's
what I expect from a sativa. Now again, it just depends upon
the grow and all the other factors, more on the terps and
and everything else that's connected with the cannabinoids,
but I would like to have that feeling that experience.
So Flower would definitely be awesome to be able to try out
Alaskan Thunder. Yeah, supposedly this one is
more prone to panic or anxiety though, especially for those who
are not, like, not used to it. No.
OK, so yeah, this is for a veteran, I mean.
Yeah, if you have a low tolerance of THC or our.
Prone to panic attacks or anxiety?
This might not be your strain. Or if you feel you really want
to try it, take a dose of CBD before.
Have lemon juice around, have extra CBD on hand and go low and
slow. I think that's almost a better
thing to think of, especially if with our newer consumers of
cannabis, I think as a almost as a prophylactic is to be able to
take the CBD before you start your sesh just just to kind of
slower onset. It's not as strong it'll.
Take off that drastic high that you would get anyway, Yeah, so
it's automatically going to limit and go, all right,
hopefully you won't get past here.
So if you take that ahead of time, that'll be fantastic to
start with your initial session. I would think it would be best
to do that with it in teen sure form or I'm not a big fan of CBD
gummies. Something on set fast though,
even the discrete tablets, you know, 20 minutes, the ones that
have CBD or you know the. 20 milligrams of CBD or whatever.
If you could pop something like that, wait 20 minutes and then
go have your sash, then you might be able to feel less
anxious. Yeah, I mean.
To worry about having a panic attack, well, it's great because
it's in a micro dose. So the micro dose, it's not
going to be harsh. It's not going to be overly like
this is too much for me. Like, you just start low and
slow, right? One tablet tastes like Smarties.
Yeah, they're they're brilliant. Well, in the best part, every
cannabis school listener can get 20% off.
That's right, yeah, 20% off. Just put in the promo code
School 20 at checkout. And the link will be down in the
show notes. Yeah, 20% off 1st Order.
Fantastic thing. So some of the cool things you
saw there, they have sleep. I'm excited to try that one
because I've been sleeping like shit, so I'm hoping that does
wonders and I will let you guys know how it does.
Yeah, it's pretty good. My I give it to my son.
My son. It really helped him out a lot.
So fantastic they've got those who've got restful.
My favorites. Chill.
It's just it's nice. It's easy.
Who couldn't use a little chill sometimes, Yeah, and you could
be discreet about it. Comes in little packages if you
wanted to be able to do that, or it just comes in a bottle with
the tablets. Yeah, like vitamins.
Yeah, they look like vitamins. They're awesome.
It's cool though the little packets though, because it's
just like. Oh yeah, they're individuals.
You should bring it with you. And yeah, super, super awesome.
Feels amazing. Good for, you know if you if
you're a little bit more seasoned, I would take a few
more just to to get. But for most people going low
and slow, go with discreet. Yeah, well this is awesome.
I think, I think we should get get it again.
I think there's several ones that we should get again that
we've done strictly in cart, that should be done.
But sometimes, as you will find, cannabis is not always the
easiest to find. Every strain that you want at
the moment, yeah, it's pretty difficult, especially where you
live. East Coast don't get a lot of
love from the awesome strains that we get to be able to have
out here in the West and vice versa.
I think they got some great strains out there that we
normally don't get and it's just cool.
So keep keeping your ear down and try to figure out what what
are some of the cool strains you guys have around in your areas
and let us know about that. If there's something out in DC
that's like absolutely amazing, we want to hear about it.
Florida, please tell us. Because everyone's got their own
unique stuff, everyone's got their own growers, so there's
custom stuff everywhere. It's cool.
Cannabis is growing into a incredibly diverse experience.
Yeah, I mean, like, you know, we were early on the Oklahoma
scene, long story, but the Oklahoma scene back then to now,
we just keep hearing so much noise out there.
It's awesome. It's a great place for cannabis.
And so, yeah, everybody. It's been awesome.
Yeah. Thanks for loving you guys.
Catch y'all next week.
