ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This sesh starts with dispensaries, sticky flower, budtenders, and our plans for Cannabis School........and somehow ends with us examining our emotional baggage. You know, the usual.
We talk about why cannabis is better as a shared experience, the difference between reacting and responding, and what happens when your intentions collide with somebody else’s perception. Sometimes the person in front of you isn’t the enemy. Sometimes you need to back the fuck up, look at the whole situation, and get curious about what is actually happening.
We also get into:
- The good, bad, and frustrating parts of Utah dispensaries
- Why knowledgeable budtenders make such a difference
- Supporting more strain and product reviews through Patreon
- The upcoming Cannabis School courses and student experience
- Our completely necessary “Brandon the Medicine Man” game
- Cannabis as a tool for slowing down and becoming more present
- Mental-health medication, side effects, and our personal experiences
- Sleep, food, routines, therapy, and building better habits
- Using “detach” as a safe word when an argument gets heated
- The gap between perception and intention
- Looking at yourself objectively without turning reflection into shame
- Carrying old trauma into new relationships
- Neil Strauss, The Truth, and the three-second rule
- Why curiosity can teach you more than judgment ever will
The big takeaway: you are the common factor everywhere you go. When something triggers a reaction, pause before deciding who is right or wrong. Step outside yourself, look at the situation from a wider perspective, and ask why you responded that way. You may not like every answer—but at least now you can do something with it.
