Welcome to cannabis school. I'm your host Jessie Angeles and
I'm Brandon Elder and we're here to talk to you about everything
pertaining to cannabis from bait, flower Edibles, strains
and everything in between. Welcome back everybody.
Thanks for joining us as our Tuesday.
Another Tuesday, happy Tuesday. Are you as elevated?
As we are, we're pretty elevated.
This is good, strain. It's not the strain that were
reviewing, but it's a good stray.
It's a great student. It is definitely not the one
reviewing J but it is perfect for how we're going to be able
to review this because Brandon, what are we talking about today?
Oh my gosh, one of my favorite sativa strains.
It's Strawberry Shortcake, you know I'm indifferent on it but I
know you're indifferent. Yeah it's okay.
I mean anything. Well what's the lineage of this?
Yeah. So this is a Juliet crossed with
strawberry diesel. It's Made by Dark Horse
genetics. Mmm.
So anything with strawberry makes me cough like like there's
no tomorrow this one did make me cough but it wasn't as harsh as
like obviously Strawberry Cough well and it was an A form.
So let's be honest about that one, we tried this innovate
form, so it's totally different from the actual flower, but it
still was, it's a great. It's just the first part like
it's so rough for me. Hmm, I just hit you in the
throat. I it was over a sweet to me.
I know it's definitely sweet but then that cough just keeps
coming. Almost like a I don't know what
it is. The terpenes in it or whatever
that it's just within my CB2 receptors.
I was swimming. Is the most commonly found her
penis. And in strawberry Strawberry
Shortcake. Yeah yeah that mean it's really
it's pretty good it's really like when the onset comes on
such a happy euphoric just relaxing, making everything melt
away, kind of strain for a sativa from me.
Dad because it's a definitely. I don't give a shit strap
because as you know I'm normally a pretty chill person unless
until I'm in a car. Yeah.
If I'm inside of car. I'm just looking at all.
The people around me, going God, you're a horrible driver.
You're not paying attention. What the fuck are you doing?
I'm trying to honk someone's horn if I'm sitting in the
passenger seat, like because I'm annoyed at the drivers and so
for me this is my hey I'm riding in the car strain.
I'm going to pop on Strawberry Shortcake.
I'm not going to care. Yeah.
I'm gonna be just genuinely enjoying the experience and
that's tough for me to do in my car at all.
Yeah, it definitely can be again and I know, I mean, I've driven
with him. I mean he is so cool and chill
and like yeah that kind of sucks.
But oh well like somebody could have been murdered you know like
bias: that's pretty tragic and I mean you know that that does
suck and I feel bad for his family.
Family, I really do. Well we should leave and then
trying to get out of the parking like fucking got out of the way.
What the hell is wrong with you? Like that's that's the way he
failed, but you know what? Word it is.
But I mean it's just it's one of those things, right?
It's one of those things but I know my weaknesses.
Yeah. Yeah.
He talked about that he was on and ride.
His girlfriend was driving the car and you know explain it.
Yeah. I just popped on my pan and
literally where I normally would be Frustrated and irritated like
wanting to flip someone off, honk the horn, I just chilled, I
literally just enjoyed the moment.
If you let people in, if they wanted to get it like well, I
didn't but she did yeah. Oh yeah.
That's right. Right, because I'm just
imagining you. We drive it out man.
No but it was just such a enjoyable experience for me and
as a sativa like I'm in different city of his, don't
bother me at all. But it's not usually my first
go-to thing now and this one it was like, oh yeah, no, I'm going
anywhere. Where there's a lot of people or
something. I'm just going to pop on this.
Yeah. And it is like it's used for
depression, PTSD, stress athd, fatigue, and mood swings.
So yeah, it I mean, that makes sense.
It definitely, I feel like, any place that I would have mood
swings as in the car. And yeah, totally And so, yeah,
it definitely just help Melanie right out.
I would say with this strain, as well.
One thing to kind of keep in mind, if you are a pretty
consistent Indica consumer, are you want to make sure that your
easing into this one? This one is pretty fast acting
and, you know, for my wife, she is like Syndicate because
anything too fast for her and I'm not saying that, you know,
Sativas like caffeine, but it kind of is in certain aspects.
When using this one, you can kind of put you into a panic
state if you are not very well versed with sativa strains in
your system and it can vary from person to person.
But that's that's some of the things that I've seen and I've
asked other people. They like, yeah, I can't touch
that because it makes me really anxious and I go.
Oh, so you like Indica quite a bit like yeah, that's all I
smoke. My God, Max says, see most of
those I am usually one. Ring.
If it's a specific terpene that does it, because a lot of them
were anxious ones on my chem, is it like, Ava pining that you
notice that happens and they're like, I don't know.
Oh well you should look for strains that.
See, like alpha-pinene is more commonly prevalent to cause
anxiety, right? So if you're looking for strains
that maybe don't have that, you might still find a good sativa
for productivity, Focus, whatever, as long as your
understanding, like, hey Hey, this specific terpene is what's
causing this in me, right? Because yeah.
Even like I don't do a ton of sativas.
I still, I still do but I don't do them in the in the Apple
amount that I do indica Like if I have sativas, maybe I have
like a quarter ounce of a sativa versus a full ounce of a Indica
based. Yeah, well, absolutely.
Just absolutely of my use. Yeah, I think that is very
dependent on on that person but like you said, a lot of people
just know, hey, these don't go well with me and so I don't I
stay away from him but yeah and that I mean that goes towards
the the THC levels in there. Like, what are the THC levels
in? Right?
It's mild, it's like between fifteen and twenty three, see
that? They that's why percentages
don't really matter. For those of you are, like, I'm
going, Bargain Bin. I'm getting the cheapest shit
with the highest amount of THC. Yeah, it doesn't necessarily
matter. No, it's where you want to go,
right? If your goal is to get numb, I
get that. Go for a couch, lock, strained.
I still think you find that with like more terpenes, maybe a
decent THC percentage but some of the best It's as I've had
have been between 15 and 19 percent, really?
Yeah, I would completely agree with that.
Some of the others have been 28 to 34 percent, but I still have
found very great experiences in those mid High teen range,
right? I am.
It's the same with like, you know, Bubba Kush by because she
has high percentage THC and that put me into where I was already
emotionally and and Lee. I was at this breaking point.
That pushed me over the edge. I couldn't consume cannabis for
a full month. Yeah, it was, it was really
tough and it was hard. I couldn't have kept me.
I still can't have a lot of caffeine like very micro amounts
of caffeine to this day. But I like that part of this
strength because it's definitely like this is a strain that I
used going to the gym and that's one of the things that I look
for is because you are going to experience an elevated heart
rate and that That's kind of around the ideas of why people
who consistently use. Cannabis have a lower BMI.
Yeah. This one, you probably notice it
in a flavor with the coughing and that to do.
You get decently notes? I did.
Yeah, I totally didn't really like that in as a diva.
I love decently tones. Really oh yeah, that's something
about that. I'm okay with us.
He I love cheesy. I loved loved cheese.
That's what you're About the piss strains, have a very cheesy
heavy amount. Anya, and Jack Herer, Jack Herer
has a little bit of cheesiness to it.
So yeah, definitely, yes, something about cheese and at
least with, like a good sativa that and I like them skunky to
not necessarily minty. Do like those ones are just
depends on the strain. Yeah, just in the moment.
Sometimes they feel like they smell better than other times
and maybe it's just my body going.
Know you want to smoke. Like this one.
I go to that one, but, you know, follow your nose.
Yeah, definitely follow your nose.
Those chirping that they're they're speaking to you.
I mean you got to think about that.
This plant is speaking to you and trying to pair off with you.
That's why it's important. If you get flower to be able to
actually try to figure out the notes that you're picking up,
right? Not just the skunky because yeah
that's pretty common but it starts to change on you, the
more that you start getting into it.
You don't have to be a can of sewer, you know, pinky up when
you smoke your joint. Is that how you smoke your
joints with a monocle? Indubitably guy said, yeah, this
is a Peter Griffin. Yeah, yeah, this is are the best
cannabis I'd ever smoke, but it, I don't know, man.
It is such a, I don't know. It's such a versatile strain.
Yeah. It's used for like, it's a very
social creative. Yeah.
Oh, yeah, Gary like, Like euphoric strain it was a very
relaxing like my body. I just felt super relaxed.
It took away a lot of my pain. Yeah.
Which was for a sativa dominant one that was a little bit more
surprising to me. Yeah, it definitely was and
that's the cool part of that's why I like to use it in the gym.
It allowed me to be able to push past maybe an area where I would
normally would give up and I've tested it, I've gone to the gym
whip out that I don't take any type of supplement.
Pre workouts and I go and I'm looking for a sativa to be able
to bring me to this right place where I can go work out.
Push past a little bit more pain, but I really get this
amazing experience Where I Leave feeling so relaxed from a gym as
opposed to really tense, which is how I used to feel.
And so I don't know. This is just, it's a great way
to connect with yourself. This strain is an awesome
connection both Mind and body. Yeah, it really helped me get
outside of my pain and outside of any stress that I had to just
be me now that moment which is nice because I feel like a lot
of the times we are so caught up in life that we just we forget
to be ourselves. Absolutely.
And it's easy to why not? I mean, how is it not, you know,
from all the stressors from if you're, you know, worried about
what somebody said any on Facebook and I'm not going to
hate on you sometimes, you know, we get so sensitive some There's
something there and it affects you, right?
I mean, that's not me, that's not you, stop crying.
Like I'm definitely don't give a shit and, but yeah, it doesn't
matter what's going on. It allows you to be able to step
outside yourself and just kind of let you collect, but, but are
up your energetic, you can do things.
I was really surprised how much I enjoy this one.
I wasn't expecting to like that much for a city.
If it was like, okay, well I'm sure it'll be fine and I started
popping on it. I was like, oh my God, I love
this train and it was great for productivity for work.
Like, it's a very Happy Feeling strain?
Oh yeah, it's it is death, probably the best way to
summarize it. Is this is a happy strain, so if
you've been feeling winter Blues, you know, getting
depressed a little down, maybe try some strawberry shortcake.
Yes, stack it with a walk during It daytime, get that vitamin D
in yet, and then also getting this, you know, vitamin
Shortcake in, you hear, you're going to be feeling vitamins th
and see ya absolutely take those all through all four together
and you're going to have a great day and it really is.
And that's the great part about it is that after is subsided and
it kick, it stays for with you for a while.
Even after a subsided, you still feel very positive.
Oh yeah I didn't get munchie at all with this train though.
Like at all. And that's a good thing.
I like those strains. It's like the strain.
We smoke before we started recording.
That's, that's a very similar type of strain.
You don't know Munchies, it's totally fine.
So, definitely if you're watching, and that's why I
typically in, this is just my hypothesis, is that sativa
strains are really great for dieting, if you're trying to
watch what you're eating over there, I mean I used to be 40
pounds heavier, I am now and I feel fantastic.
And people ask like, how are you being able?
Stay so thin. I'm like honestly I mean I eat
garbage every once in a while but it just yeah, pretty healthy
for the most part. Yeah, I just I have these like
bags of snacks and that's sometimes I'll sit down with
her. My damn it.
Yeah. If you had a right straining
you're going to finish off that whole fucking bag.
Oh I know it's terrible because I'm to the point that I'm not
looking at like I'm looking at processed sugars as a whole and
I'm also looking at damn it. This is like this died and this
die. Like that's not good for me.
Yeah yeah having this shit and so like it's bad.
I know it's not great for me to eat a lot of shit but you know
but you know that difference in you making home-cooked meals
compared to getting process shit and different.
I mean I look at it with my family right?
You know the nights that we eat processed stuff like they're all
over the place but if I create a really good home-cooked meal,
dude, everybody is quiet. They're just eating Feel better.
They're nicer to each other later on.
So, you know, it's the same, I would say when using types of
any type of product that you're using for an altered state of
consciousness such as cannabis. So, if you're using cannabis
that that it actually kind of helps out with making those
choices, I would always recommend that somebody use
cannabis before they use alcohol, just for the simple
fact of not just the health problems but alcohol just
doesn't take you to the place that cannabis can now.
Now, my most impressive moments, some of the worst decisions I've
ever made in my life like circle around alcohol.
Yeah and utilizing cannabis more, I have like way less
desire to even touch, alcohol. It's a whole because the
experience now, I don't like, yeah, like I don't enjoy the
feeling that comes with that. When I can feel uplifted happy,
like, pain-free less stress, depressed, and I can actually
still think about all the shit that is going on.
And get rid of that versus, not thinking about stuff, drinking
to forget something. And then it still comes back
anyway along with a hangover and all the decisions that you made.
Well, and that's a great way to be able to meet with your own
self. This is a very introspective
strain, if you allow it, you know, allow yourself to be as
Brands, they just allow yourself to be bored and focus on.
Like, look, I need to get through this.
And what am I not seeing and what am I not doing too?
Be able to put myself in a better State, very
introspective, so it's great. I don't know, just all around, I
don't know. Like you said, there's no real
foods. I would recommend with it.
Yeah, you've looked at any reviews.
Oh yeah. One said almost the perfect Buzz
for all day. Smoking potent.
Clear-headed Buzz. Uplifting a slight bit of
energizing but no excess jittery feeling the Roma definitely has
a nice Berry hint overall, great Weed, Man.
Mmm. I would concur.
Yeah, just a great overall experience.
So you know, winter blues, or just sitting in the passenger
seat and you're kind of a little bitch, take some hits of
Strawberry Shortcake. I know it helped me so well.
