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 debate flower Edibles strains
and everything in between. Well, welcome, again to the
podcast. We are so excited to be able to
talk on this episode. I don't know if you guys have
noticed, but we're we're getting into this.
We're getting into our groove and it's felt a little
prescribed, it's like, you know, even my voice.
So most sounds like I'm going to be like some old D-Day from the
90s or something that and I had old DJ right?
But you know I'm a I'm a I'm a 70s 80 child, right?
And Brandon your 80's 90's child right?
Oh born they he's real. In the 90s, right?
And it's it's being able to sound like I'm 12.
No, you definitely don't. But I want to be able to bring
some fun to this. So we're going to see a lot of
different things throughout these podcasts.
So we are so appreciative staying with us going through
this one. Without further Ado, let's talk
about the strain that I think is awesome.
I've had very little of it but it's left that big of an
impression and that's Pineapple Express.
So Brandon, what is Pineapple Express?
Take us down that road. What kind of strain is it?
And what are some of the things that are Incorporated with it?
That make it unique? Yeah, of course.
So Pineapple Express is a sativa dominant hybrid, most of
everyone knows a bit from the movie.
Pineapple Express, Seth, Rogen, James, Franco.
They actually claimed to have created this strain where the
strain was created. After this show, Which if you
look, it's actually been around in the Netherlands for, you
know, half a decade before and very popular straight.
Seth Rogen and James Franco, just brought it more into a
modern line. So which is funny because if I
remember the movie I don't remember them talking about the
Stranger Than Just the weird premise of the movie.
Oh yeah, I mean the name of it it's Pineapple Express and they
mention you know hey what is this stuff?
Oh it's so good. It's so rare.
No one has it but this deal. Iran.
You it Douglas. Yeah.
Then the guy who sells it or whatever can recognize it
because it's just that good in that rare, that he picks up the
joint that was laughing. This is Pineapple Express.
I need to know exactly who to hunt down for that roach.
Like I mean, it's a, it's a funny movie but you won't get
any of the effects like it does in the movie, you're not going
to have mine melting numbness of, you know these extremes.
It's a very nice sativa. It's a brilliant High, you have
a lot of energy creativity and you know, it's not super high on
the THC. Normally 18%.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
No, I've noticed that when you're using Pineapple Express
over there is a gradual move into feeling that euphoric
medicated state, where it's not so overwhelming.
Now course with any anything you take anything you consume, if
you take enough of it, it's going to give you a more extreme
effect and with Pineapple Express over there and
especially where, you know, I do I'm a big city of a fan, you
know? And I love it but at the same
time, I'm Pineapple Express is one of those ones that I look
for and it's so difficult to find and I don't know why.
I mean, I don't know. Do you know why?
You know, I would say a lot of the Pineapple Express, I have
found at specific dispensaries. I have to search for Pineapple
Express, and then hunt down, whoever carries it in order to
find it. Yeah, I haven't found it at a
lot of dispensaries pens. Yes.
It extracts cartridges. You'll find a lot more Pineapple
Express in that. Yeah I noticed that one in
California. Definitely there is a an
abundance. Now we're talking about the
flower. I haven't seen a whole lot of
that in dispensaries. I rarely seen those, I mean, you
can come across, you know. There are some specific ones
like the one we talked about before blue dream, like you can
find Blue Dream, quite often. It's still very, very popular.
Wonderful. Wonderful strain of cannabis.
But you know Pineapple Express, I'm just kind of that's just so
weird. Like if I want something mild a
gradual feel on that one. But I'm not going to be like I
just want to veg out and stare off.
Just like we were talking about that movie like mind-melding,
like that's ridiculous, well, whatever things with sativas and
I was reading about it and I forgot because it's been so long
since I've had it but sativa headaches.
When you partake of a Larger dose.
Such a large dose that you actually have a headache.
Yeah. And then Infuse that's
introduced. Yeah.
Interesting. But if you introduce a different
strain, more Indica based or a hybrid, you'll notice that that
will decrease the headache will go away, but I just, I'm not as
much of a sativa fan because it doesn't have the same pain
relief properties. That most of the Indica dominant
that Iraq that makes a lot of sense.
Because I mean, you know, you know what I do to make bread,
you know, and buy bread. I mean money.
You know, depending on how we read your or bread baked bread.
I break bread sometimes but you know, we're talking about that
one. Like I am a creative individual
right. I work in the marketing realm
and by being able to use that one, it's not necessarily using
during that time and that's kind of something I wanted to talk
about Brandon with you and especially hitting up on this
one. Is we use cannabis over there?
When somebody says it helps out with creativity, doesn't?
I mean, that, you know, I take this cannabis and all the
sudden, oh, I got all these ideas, the ideas lay dormant
there. And for me, it helps kind of
slow things down and get into that perspective.
And then ideas, start to come, but they're not all wonderful,
but it takes time and it definitely enhances.
But you know, that's my idea. When it comes to creativity and
using cannabis and distance are only like I'm stuck somewhere,
let me, let me take this cannabis and then I will just be
stuck somewhere. Pin and that can happen bring it
home. Sometimes, if you are stuck
cannabis isn't going to help you get out, but at the same time,
how many of us just get really stuck in her head and really
anxious, really stressed about a million different things.
That a little pop up. Some Pineapple Express, might
relieve that and allow that creativity to flow easier.
Are you telling me that it's harder to be able to find the
actual like flower of Pineapple Express?
You said that extracts are really easy and you mentioned
vape pens. I didn't see a whole lot of it
in California mean I've been in Northern California, Southern
California. But Colorado, I mean, you're a
frequent visitor of Colorado, would you say that you saw more
of it there? Yeah, I found more more flower
itself in Colorado and pens. Yeah, I would say I found most
Pineapple Express, I can get at most dispensaries throughout
Colorado. That's interesting.
That California, you didn't, This is many, I mean, I saw a
flower there and definitely that one, you know, when going into
the audible range, it, that's one thing that I've always found
kind of odd in the animal range and staying on Pineapple
Express. I don't really see a whole lot
of Edibles that are like the Edibles being defined by The
Strain. Yeah, a lot are just
specifically sativa hybrid or indica base because with Edibles
a lot of what they're using is the left.
Oh so they're not pulling in so They're mixed matching.
Yeah, so it's easier to go. Hey this is just a sativa
instead of going hey this is Pineapple Express specifically
and you will find something there there here and there and
you go into the more expensive. Okay.
Was about to arrest that more expensive.
Mmm. Oh yeah, okay, so craft kid that
makes a lot of sense and this may be a broad question for you.
But I wonder if there's actual people that are like More of
being able to get the purchased Edibles as opposed to just being
able to have the ones that are being made at home because
there's a lot that goes into making an edible.
Let me rephrase that a re asked that.
So you're asking if there's more people, I think that purchase
Edibles than make them. Yes, Yeah I do because just like
with me you know I make my own chocolate.
Yeah it helps with my back and helps with a lot of stuff but
I've been making my own Edibles for four years now.
And at the same time I know how many people have no clue where
to even start. You start mentioning words like
decarboxylate and instantly their eyes glaze over and
they're not even high. So I do.
You think there's probably a lot more people buying Edibles and
there are making them. Yeah that makes sense to in mean
telling me about that where you know if I wanted a specific
edible that was Pineapple Express then I'm gonna be paying
a bit more for that one. Now I've seen Edibles anywhere
from, you know, maybe twenty dollars up to around 40 dollars
and even more, just based upon that and I think that's what's
making sense in my mind right now is that it's More on the do
you want it to be more about a specific strain?
Because there's going to be a lot more that goes into that.
Yeah I think of right now a lot of people's focus is just
getting high THC and as cheap as possible.
A lot of people don't realize that the broad spectrum full
spectrum or, you know, a lot more cannabinoids and terpenoids
in there that's going to benefit them a lot more than just high
dose THC. So we get these things.
Things that are sativa hybrid Indica because we're not worried
about the craft and getting something that is a lot better.
Most people are just worried, is that going to make me feel high?
But there's so many users out. There were people who don't use,
who are looking into it, who aren't looking to get high right
there wanting to dose there, medication in a way that helps
them with their, you know, whatever issue or ailment or
Thing in their life that they're trying to help with.
And that's all they're trying to achieve.
They're not trying to have any of euphoria.
Any of that mind fog that comes with cannabis use?
Yeah, no, I agree. And I mean so safe to say over
there that if you're looking into getting into a sativa which
is more on the not on the Sleepytime side but more on the
kind of chill. Relax, stay awake, be very
Magnussen of what's going on. That is say that you can with
Indica but more so and sativa that Pineapple Express, we could
be your jam. It could definitely be that one
that you get involved into it first.
And I mean from personal experience, I would also
recommend that. I mean, it's if you're getting
into cannabis and try and get out going with sativa now, of
course, there's everybody's different.
Your cannabinoid system internally is going to react
differently from everybody else's but two, I would say
almost to be able to get an indica and and a sativa strain
and on the sativa hybrid strain, Pineapple Express, could be
definitely yours feel comfortable.
You know, just overall just feel good about where you're going
with it and there's so many different ways to be able to
consume it. But, you know, Brandon what are
some parting thoughts on it? As far as for Pineapple Express,
you know, it's a great way can bake.
Strain for those who don't know what that means.
It's a great strain in the morning to give you a little
kick boost, kind of like, having a cup of coffee or pairs nicely
with your coffee. So perfect way to kick start
your day or I love it. I love it.
All right. Well, hey everybody.
Thanks so much. And tune in next week.
