Cannabis School

Cannabis is often associated with nausea relief, but nausea doesn’t always have the same cause—and cannabis doesn’t always produce the same result.In this Cannabis 101 episode, Brandon and Jesse explore nausea through Jesse’s personal experience with a GLP-1 medication for diabetes. Slower digestion, reduced appetite, difficulty eating, and random waves of nausea led us to ask a bigger question: How do you know whether cannabis will help your nausea or make the situation worse?We discuss nausea connected to medication side effects, an empty stomach, excessive caffeine, migraines, illness, digestive conditions, chemotherapy, anxiety, and cannabis itself. We also explore why the product, dose, cannabinoid profile, terpene profile, consumption method, and your individual body may all change the experience.Cannabis may help some people manage certain forms of nausea, but more THC is not automatically better. Taking too much can create dizziness, anxiety, nausea, or vomiting. Frequent heavy cannabis use can also be associated with cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, commonly called CHS, which causes recurring episodes of severe nausea and vomiting.We also discuss flower, vape cartridges, concentrates, tinctures, and edibles. When someone already feels sick, a slow-onset edible may be difficult to dose, while inhaled products act faster but carry their own risks. Neither option is universally “best.”In this episode:Jesse’s experience with GLP-1 medication and nauseaAppetite changes and delayed digestionWhy nausea can have many different causesCannabis, the endocannabinoid system, and nausea signalingWhy one strain may help while another makes things worseTHC, minor cannabinoids, terpenes, and individual responsesFinding patterns by reading product labelsCannabis and digestive conditions such as Crohn’s diseaseChemotherapy-related nausea and cannabinoid medicationsWhy too much THC can cause nauseaCannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome and heavy cannabis useFlower versus cartridges, concentrates, tinctures, and ediblesWhy onset time matters when you need reliefAppetite, munchies, and portion controlKnowing when nausea requires professional medical careChapters:00:00 Welcome to Cannabis School00:15 Jesse’s recent experience with nausea00:35 GLP-1 medication and diabetes01:00 Appetite and digestion changes02:29 Random nausea and difficulty eating03:00 What kind of nausea are you experiencing?04:14 Why one strain may help and another may not04:24 Dose-dependent effects04:56 THC, cannabinoids, and terpenes05:30 Cannabis receptors and nausea signaling06:07 Physical versus neurological causes07:01 Nausea, hunger, and GLP-1 medication09:21 Is cannabis helping the body or distracting the mind?09:58 When cannabis causes nausea10:03 Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome12:26 Learning from labels and product information16:04 Crohn’s disease and personal experiences20:05 A concentrate experience with digestive discomfort24:03 Edibles, dosing, and accidental overconsumption28:20 Why nausea is so difficult to navigate30:44 Flower versus other consumption methods32:19 Medication-related nausea33:31 Cancer treatment and nausea discussion34:42 Appetite, food, and portion control41:34 The nausea and cannabis roller coaster42:19 Final thoughts Cannabinoid medications such as dronabinol and nabilone are FDA-approved for chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting that have not responded to standard treatments. That does not mean cannabis flower treats every form of nausea, and evidence for inhaled cannabis remains limited. National Cancer InstituteIf nausea is severe, persistent, accompanied by repeated vomiting, or begins after frequent cannabis use, speak with a healthcare professional. Never stop or change a prescribed medication—including a GLP-1 medication—without speaking to your prescriber.Find everything in one place here:👉 https://cannabisschool.org/products

Slurricane sounds like it should knock you sideways—but this indica-dominant hybrid gave us a much more functional experience than expected.In this Cannabis School strain review, Brandon and Jesse try Slurricane flower grown by Dragonfly Wellness. A cross between Do-Si-Dos and Purple Punch, this batch tested at approximately 26.5% THC, with limonene and beta-caryophyllene leading the terpene profile.Right out of the jar, Slurricane delivers a sharp, sweet aroma with dark berry, citrus, gas, and an almost cheese-like funk. Once vaporized, it becomes smoother and more layered, bringing out sweet, slightly minty flavors with a light gassy finish.The effects came on gradually. Instead of immediately locking us to the couch, Slurricane felt calm, present, and surprisingly easy to layer throughout the day. After several bowls, however, the head effects became heavier and a little wobbly—so dosage definitely matters.For us, this felt like a great strain for a quiet evening, a relaxed staycation, looking at art, watching fish at an aquarium, taking a peaceful fall walk, or hanging out somewhere that isn’t packed with people. Brandon also found it potentially useful for daytime pain without making him feel immediately sleepy.Of course, this is a Cannabis School episode, so the conversation eventually wanders into Utah’s changing landscape, art museums, enormous hidden mansions, Halloween traditions, childhood jobs, truck-driving stories, and the questionable ways parents used to teach kids a lesson.In this episode:Slurricane’s Do-Si-Dos and Purple Punch geneticsDragonfly Wellness flower from UtahSweet berry, citrus, mint, gas, and funky aromasThe batch’s THC, minor cannabinoids, and terpene profileVaporizing flower versus smoking itA calm experience without immediate couch lockBrandon and Jesse’s personal pain and relaxation experienceWhy Slurricane may work better in quieter environmentsHow the effects changed after multiple bowlsWhy you should never drive after consuming cannabisUtah art, mansions, mountain towns, and fall weatherHalloween memories and old-school parentingJesse’s teenage jobs and unexpected high-school graduationChapters:00:00 Welcome to Cannabis School00:16 Introducing Slurricane00:39 Aroma straight from the jar01:03 Vaporizing flower versus using vape cartridges02:02 Smoking versus vaporizing cannabis03:37 Slurricane genetics and Dragonfly Wellness04:31 Flavor and smoothness04:57 Terpene profile06:00 Cannabinoids and THC percentage06:24 Initial effects06:43 A strain you can layer throughout the day07:05 Quiet adventures and social settings08:36 Cannabis at aquariums and art galleries09:09 Utah’s Woodbury Art Museum10:10 Utah mansions and hidden escape tunnels11:15 Exploring Utah’s towns and mountains14:32 Pain relief without immediate sleepiness16:09 How the effects change when you stand up16:23 Why driving is a bad idea17:37 Cannabis and feeling cold19:39 Halloween in Utah21:24 Childhood candy punishment22:21 Jesse’s first job and high-school story26:23 Final Slurricane verdict Slurricane gave us a sweet, smooth, relaxing experience that remained functional at lower amounts but became noticeably heavier as we kept going.

We’re kicking off this Sesh with the AirVape Legacy CORE, an entry-level dry-herb vaporizer AirVape sent us to try. We break down the airflow, temperature settings, replaceable battery, dosing capsules, cleaning design, session timer, warranty, and how it compares with the more advanced Legacy models.For the price, the CORE delivers smooth airflow and respectable vapor—but the shorter session time and lack of a detailed display may matter depending on how you like to vape. We give you the good, the frustrating, and our honest verdict after running flower through it.Then the Sesh takes over.We ask whether modern video games still create those unforgettable “core memory” moments. From The Witcher 3 and Ghost Recon to remasters, endless releases, online gaming, practical movie effects, and nostalgia, we wonder whether entertainment has actually improved—or whether prettier graphics are covering up weaker stories.From there, the conversation moves into work, money, homeownership, commercial real estate, gambling, religion, judgment, and the expectations we place on other people. Brandon also shares a difficult story from his time working in mental health involving someone who escaped a high-control religious community. That leads to a deeper discussion about faith, rituals, manipulation, personal responsibility, and why questioning your surroundings can be so important.It’s funny, serious, uncomfortable, nostalgic, and completely off the rails—which means it’s definitely a Cannabis School Sesh.In this episode:Testing the AirVape Legacy COREAirflow, temperature settings, cleaning, and dosing capsulesReplaceable batteries and the short session timerHow the CORE compares with other AirVape modelsWhy flower felt better after the previous RSO experienceAre video games losing their “core memory” moments?The Witcher 3, Ghost Recon, remasters, and gaming nostalgiaPractical movie effects versus digital perfectionWhen hobbies become workHomeownership, commercial real estate, and financial riskGambling, religion, and changing cultural expectationsGrowing up LDS and questioning what you were taughtHigh-control communities, trauma, and personal freedomWhy we can control our response—even when we can’t control the situationChapters:00:00 Welcome to the Sesh00:19 AirVape Legacy CORE first look01:33 Price, controls, and temperature settings02:17 Mouthpiece, airflow, and vapor quality03:13 CORE versus other vaporizers04:15 Warranty, dosing capsules, and cleaning05:15 Replaceable battery and included tools06:26 The short session timer07:37 Returning to flower08:00 AirVape models, accessories, and final thoughts10:22 Let’s talk video games10:39 Are “core memory” games disappearing?12:41 The Witcher 3 overhaul16:24 Relaxing games versus exhausting games17:27 Are we going backward in entertainment?18:00 Nostalgia, movies, and sound quality48:58 Homeownership and commercial real estate51:48 Gambling, religion, and changing standards53:13 Judgment and expectations55:30 High-control religious communities01:03:01 Family, language, and religious routines01:05:45 What makes something a cult?01:07:34 Community, repentance, and forgiveness01:08:35 Choosing how we respond01:09:01 Final ramblings What game created a core memory for you?

RSO has one of the biggest reputations in cannabis—but what is Rick Simpson Oil, how do you use it, and what does it actually feel like?In this episode of Cannabis School, Brandon and Jesse try a small amount of RSO from Hoodoo Cannabis. This one-gram syringe contains approximately 694 mg of THC, along with smaller amounts of CBN, CBG, and CBC. Needless to say, this is some seriously concentrated cannabis.We get into the thick, sticky texture, the strong cannabis taste, and why measuring a “grain-of-rice-sized” amount is more difficult than it sounds. The effects begin showing up surprisingly quickly, giving us a calm, focused, and functional experience instead of the traditional euphoric high we expected.For us, the experience seemed better suited for staying active and getting things done than sitting around waiting to feel high. We also discuss the importance of accurate dosing, why capsules may offer more consistency, and why RSO should be approached carefully—especially by anyone without a strong THC tolerance.We also examine the history behind Rick Simpson Oil and the personal stories that helped build its reputation. RSO is often discussed in connection with cancer, pain, nausea, seizures, digestive conditions, and other serious health concerns. However, personal stories are not the same as clinical evidence, and cannabis should never replace professional medical care.In this episode:What RSO and Rick Simpson Oil actually meanThe Hoodoo Cannabis RSO syringe and cannabinoid profileWhy RSO is so dark, thick, sticky, and difficult to handleHow a very small amount tasted and feltHow quickly we began noticing the effectsCalm focus, body effects, and our pain experienceWhy the experience didn’t feel like a traditional highThe history and reputation surrounding Rick SimpsonWhy extreme THC doses and self-treatment can be riskyRSO capsules versus dosing directly from a syringeWhy licensed products, clear labels, and responsible dosing matterOur final verdict on whether RSO is worth exploringChapters:00:00 Welcome to Cannabis School00:22 Hoodoo Cannabis RSO01:05 Ways people consume RSO01:23 Potency and cannabinoid profile01:53 What does RSO mean?02:17 Trying a small amount03:28 The effects begin04:01 Medical stories and claims07:37 Rick Simpson and the history of RSO10:40 Why extremely high doses are risky11:35 The challenge of accurate dosing12:03 Faster onset than expected20:10 Comparing the experience to flower20:49 Calm, focused, and functional effects21:44 Our pain experience23:32 Why it didn’t feel like a traditional high24:16 Better for staying active?24:50 RSO capsules and consistent dosing26:20 How the effects continued changing28:01 That lingering cannabis taste29:19 Final verdict30:54 Medical-use discussion32:01 Final thoughts Have you tried RSO before?

RSO is highly potent and can cause significant impairment. It is not proven to cure cancer and should not replace medical treatment. The National Cancer Institute states that cannabis and cannabinoids have not been approved as cancer treatments, although certain cannabinoid medications are approved for specific chemotherapy-related symptoms.

This week’s Sesh starts with old-school video games and ends with a Mexico story that escalates way past “we should probably find our friend.” In between? Strict parents, forbidden cartoons, questionable movie nights, and a very important question: was that childhood favorite actually good, or were you just twelve?With Midtown Haze in the Volcano, we revisit the chaos of Manhunt, the love for Splinter Cell, and the absolute insanity of Conker’s Bad Fur Day. Then we take the scenic route through VHS memories, The Heavenly Kid, and the horror movies that make you laugh versus the ones that actually get under your skin.Naturally, that turns into Navy stories, Tijuana adventures, and a dad who could negotiate a deal through sheer eye contact.It’s a happy, rambling, “how the hell did we get here?” kind of sesh.
