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. All right.
Super excited. We're going to be discussing
Blue Dream today. Want to Brandon's favorite.
Actually, has it on a necklace, you know, we're actually going
to be able to find out why he has it on the necklace and a lot
of it has to do with the popularity of the strain Blue
Dream. Take us through a blue dream.
What, what type of strain is this Brandon?
Oh, yeah, so blue dream is a fantastic now.
It's predominantly a sativa. Yeah, sativa dominant hybrid but
it was actually first Back in 2001, the Cannabis Cup of the
year for an Indica. So it is sativa dominant but
there are four different genetics with blue dream and one
of those is a Indica dominant still.
That's crazy. Yeah.
So it's a cross between blueberry and usually Hayes
super silver haze, right. And even taking it back and one
of Canada's, From when it be can't me a, there was a long
period before the 1960s and 70s where it was very popular than
the criminalization of it. And then it went very
underground. But the Cannabis, from then to
now is very, very different and blue dream is actually one of
those that came out of, that one, grown in California, from
what I understood where it first.
Originated, the hybrid strain, that was created and it became
extremely popular. And the one thing that I
thought, Really crazy about, it's the most counterfeited,
cannabis out there. What's a counterfeit?
Cannabis, just a strain that has similar cannabinoids or terpene
profiles to other strains. And basically, people say this
smells like smokes, like feels like this strain and so they
label it as that string. Okay?
So it's a great way to be able to drive interest in it, because
from what we've been able to pull from Resource we've been
able to find blue. Dream is one of the most
requested for people to have. I personally love sativa sativa.
Has a great sensation over the body, it gives you more of a, an
energetic, feel it can definitely make you feel a
little bit more lethargic, but not in the sense where you can
do anything. That's where I've really been
pulled to it. I mean ready, you're an Indica
person. How come Every day.
It's my favorite, right? And I'm a sativa person.
I really like that. But what would happen if I take
too much sativa with blue dream, especially like most sativas,
you have too much, you're prone to have paranoia, paranoia and
anxiety are the two things that come when you have too much
weird dream. Now, this one is a very balanced
high, so it actually has full body relaxation.
Taxation as well as a lot of that cerebro feelings.
So a lot of that heavy feeling. So people get a lot of
creativity and energy from this strain in small doses, but in
large doses, they actually get more of a side of it.
Yeah, I've noticed that, I've noticed, if I've had a little
too much Indica, it also has that exact same effect too.
Much of it makes you feel very anxious.
If it's at night time, you can't sleep and so it counterbalancing
it with a little bit of sativa actually makes it.
So it's easier for you to be able to get that effect as a lot
of people use cannabis for Sleep related issues, pain related
issues. The one thing that I have
noticed that there and Brandon and I were talking about this
before was that when I had been injured, I had an injury and I
mainly had sativa and the pain was just so bad still and
parents like, you know, do you have The Indica is that.
Yeah, actually I do it needs to pull.
You should use that and almost immediately within about 10
minutes, the pain, subsided completely.
And then that's one of the things even with blue dream over
there. The pain.
Maybe not so much, but more of the relaxation and you brought
up creativity over there and for who I am and what I do
professionally. Absolutely that's probably why I
love sativa so much. I'm a creative, I'm a marketer
and I'm constantly trying to come up with different Any
ideas. Now, my walking around using
cannabis all day long but in those moments where I'm I need
to be able to have a little bit more of a jolt.
I use that on there but so tell why I mean you got a necklace
actually with blue dream. What is it?
Tell it tell us what it looks like.
Yeah so it's a blue dream Leaf. Just gold crusted.
That was given to me for a present because As everyone who
knows? Me knows.
I'm a big cannabis Enthusiast. Yeah, to say the least.
So if I meet you, you probably know I use cannabis and know
that there's probably some way that it's going to benefit you.
Yeah, that's true. That's very true.
I'm, I mean and that's a lot of the reasons why we go back and
forth on it. We we look at new information.
We're trying to be able to be as educated as possible what can't
of us but more. So of like, what is Is this
going to do for me? So, so we've talked about what
it does for the head. We talked about what it does for
the body. So what other I mean, besides
smoking it. What are some of the most
favorite ways that people are being able to consume sativa
mean? They can substitute?
They can consume any type of cannabis product, but what would
you say some of the top ones? Oh yeah.
Well, Blue Dream is perfect for those who suffer from mental
disorders like stress and depression anxiety, As well as
people who have chronic pain, headaches and fatigue.
So, with that, if you use a pen, you vape or you smoke, that's
great for stress anxiety, depression.
It's going to help with those. For those with chronic pain,
you're going to want to use a tincture and edible even add a
because it's a lot more High concentrate.
You're going to have it last longer and that's going to hit a
lot deeper room. Yeah.
Yeah, I agree. I mean, for me it's been using
Tinker a teachers like a dropper, you know, as far as the
dosing on that one, it varies from person to person.
It definitely is going to be dependent on how long you've
been able to consume cannabis and what are some of the
different things that you've experienced in the past,
sometimes you get too much, sometimes you get too little and
I mean, we can talk about other things over there as well, in
the Cannabis community that actually help to be able to To
reduce that feeling that you get from Cannabis from the THC side
and that's going to definitely be able to help.
But with blue dream, I got to say that it is by far.
One of those Wonder plants and that's why it is so sought after
that's why it's it's sold out quite frequently with in
dispensaries Brandon's traveled everywhere on that one.
Where would you see that? You've seen?
Most of the blue dream. That is easy.
ER to be able to get for me, I frequent Denver, Denver and
Colorado are a very common place for me to go.
So I've had a lot through that area.
California of course. West Coast were born and raised
being bred in Santa Cruz for that strain is found all over
the West Coast so I find it's definitely a lot.
Stickier a lot less dry flour out of the West Coast and
Colorado. Of course, has a little bit
drier climate Has a little bit drier flower.
No, no. I agree.
I, I've enjoyed it and I from many different ways of being
able to consume it. Yeah, you get a, pretty good
consistency with it. It's something where when you've
tried it, and you've felt its backs, you start to being able
to, there's an expected. See that you get when using blue
dream. I mean, you got to pick the the
preferred method you got. I mean, Brandon, you prefer to
smoke it. I mean, It depends on the day,
honestly, I prefer Edibles because they last longer, but to
make that my dose that often just uses so much more product
for it, but I genuinely liked the feeling better.
It last longer it's cleaner, but it also processes different.
So it is a different feeling. Yeah, I want to get into that
weather episode. Yeah, definitely where we talk
about. You know what happens when
cannabis is consumed? The smoked there's so many
different ways to be able to consume cannabis pay attention
to those episodes with come through because really go deep
into that one like order some of the different ways.
So we can be able to go through the terminology.
But man, I got to tell you that the Blue Dream.
It's one of those that once you're able to get that when you
start to be almost like a kind of sore or a small.
Yeah, you know of a wine, you know, the differences of there,
you know? We had talked about many times
where you can smell the bouquet from from Cannabis and I'm like,
oh that smells like Pine and skunk and and then you'll show
me another bag and look at it smells like Pine and skunk and
it on here like, well, what's the difference?
Like and it, you have to have somebody who's pretty
well-versed in that one. So if you go to any dispensary,
you talk to a budtender, you can actually ask them.
You know what are some of the things that I need to be?
What am I going to smell here? But what's different The screen
to another. Yeah, learning a lot of that
will help, you know, going in what you're looking for from
smell to look to you know, how it feels so real quick on that,
what while we're getting close to the end of this?
What some of the things that people should be aware if I'm
going into dispensary and I'm brand-new and I want to be able
to find out about blue dreamed, I just go up to him.
Say blue dream. Do you have blue drink?
I mean sure if that's how you talk.
You're more than welcome to. To but me is just like a person.
Probably just gonna walk up and ask, hey, I'm looking for a
strain called Blue Dream. Do you have that in different
products? Or what do you recommend?
Because every person's dosing is different, whether it's your
age, your weight, you are tolerance level that the amount
of the product that you've taken as well as the method of use
drastically affects each person differently.
And so, You're going to have to figure out your dose for each
strain, for each type of product and, you know, just like always
go low and go slow. Yeah, that's good advice because
it's, it's definitely easy to be able to get pulled into there
and just say, you know what, this little Gummy Bear will just
eat the whole thing and, you know, we'll see what happens
even when you look at the doses, compared to maybe a vape
cartridge or dab, you talked about dad as well.
You have to be very Be careful with what you're consuming and
Edibles by far, I believe is the most you need to be the most
cautious when you're using that because with smoking, you can
inhale only to the point where you can say, okay I'm good and
you feel it pretty quickly but Edibles take quite a bit of more
time and it varies from person to person.
And there's so many different factors that go into it and how
it gets into your system. So be very cautious about any
type of Edibles, look at it that way, even ask your local
budtender saying you What would you recommend with this one?
Have you experienced anything? What's been your experience with
it? Yeah.
And I always stay away from those Edibles from, not the bud
tender, but the neighborhood friendly Stoner who doesn't know
the dose, but they're really good.
I just recommend staying away from those unless you have an
experienced tolerance. Yeah, absolutely.
Well, that was awesome. I mean, I learned a lot today,
that's great. I'm looking forward to being
able to get into that next Time we're going to be able to get
more into. What are the different methods
of being able to consume cannabis?
And we'll go a little bit more descriptive on that and being
able to see exactly what could be your first introduction into
the Cannabis World, join us for next class.
