Cannabis School

San Fernando Valley OG is one of those strains that doesn’t rush you… it settles you.
Smooth inhale, calm head, relaxed body, then out of nowhere you realize you’ve melted into the chair a little more than planned.

In this episode, we break down San Fernando Valley OG from Fire Star and how it actually shows up in real life, not just on paper. The flavor leans sour, earthy, a little cheesy on the back end, and surprisingly solid for older flower.

What’s driving that experience:

Terpenes you’ll usually see:
• Myrcene – that heavy, body-relax feel
• Caryophyllene – adds a little spice, helps take the edge off stress
• Limonene – keeps your head from going fully foggy
• Linalool – soft, calming, slightly floral layer

This combo is why it feels balanced at first… but if you keep going, it leans more into that relaxed, almost sleepy zone.

Cannabinoids (typical range):
• THC: ~18–24%
• CBD: usually very low, often <1%
• CBN: [Inference] may be slightly elevated in older flower, which can add to that sleepy, slower feel

So even if the THC doesn’t look crazy, the experience stacks differently because of how everything works together.

What we actually felt from it:
Calm, steady head
Relaxed body without instant knockout
Slow creeper onset
Clear at first, heavier if you keep going

This isn’t a “go conquer the world” strain.
It’s more like… finish what you’re doing, then chill.

We also get into dry herb vapes vs joints, why hand-rolled still wins for flavor early on, kombucha experiments, and the reality of 4/20 deals, good for your stash, rough on your wallet.

If you like something that lets you stay present but takes the edge off your body, San Fernando Valley OG does that really well.

This one’s for anyone trying to figure out where they fit while building something real.

We got honest on this episode. Jobs, identity, money, purpose… all of it.

What happens when you start getting traction somewhere else, but it still doesn’t feel like “the thing”?

We talk about that weird middle space.

Between building your own path and working for someone else.

Between chasing freedom and needing stability.

There’s a lot in here:

• Getting interviews after actually applying yourself

• Why responsibility can feel better than chasing a check

• Letting go of doing everything yourself and building a team

• Why content works better when it feels like a conversation, not a strategy

• The truth about social media… it was supposed to be connection

We also get into sales, rejection, and why most people overcomplicate it.

Spoiler, people don’t want to be sold. They want to feel understood.

And somewhere in the middle of all that, we realized something simple:

The more you try to sound like everyone else, the more people tune out.

The more you just show up as you, the more things start working.

This one’s less about cannabis, more about life.

But honestly… that’s kind of the point.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between where you are and where you want to go, this one will hit.

This episode started with some love for the Bomb rig and turned into one of those conversations that reminds you this plant is way more than a label.

We’re talking about Jaeger, and this one caught us off guard in the best way.

Not in a jittery, over-the-top, too-much kind of way.

More like clear, awake, social, and lightly lifted.

Jaeger brought that focused, present kind of energy where you feel like doing something, but without the chest tension, racing energy, or weird edge people usually assume comes with certain strain labels. It felt mellow, functional, thoughtful, and honestly just really enjoyable.

That’s what made this episode fun.

Because once we got into how Jaeger actually felt, it turned into a bigger conversation about how many people still judge cannabis based on old labels, old stigma, and one bad experience they had years ago.

We talk about why terpene profiles matter more than lazy indica vs. sativa assumptions, why dose matters more than people think, and how understanding your own response can completely change your relationship with cannabis.

And then, because this is us, the conversation drifts into all the things cannabis tends to open up when you actually pay attention.

Stigma.

Judgment.

Alcohol.

Emotions.

Connection.

Why some people feel more open, more reflective, and more like themselves when they use cannabis intentionally.

We also get into something real here, how cannabis can help people slow down enough to actually feel what they’re feeling instead of just stuffing it down or checking out. Not in a miracle-cure kind of way. Just in a “maybe I can sit with this, understand it, and move through it” kind of way.

Jaeger ended up feeling like one of those strains that helps you loosen your grip a little. Not foggy. Not couchlocked. Not chaotic. Just good. Social. Grounded. Easy to enjoy.

If you’ve written off certain strains because of labels alone, this episode might change how you think about that.

And if you’ve ever felt like cannabis helped you feel more open, less judgmental, or more okay being yourself, yeah, we go there too.

Strain: Jaeger

Format: Concentrate

Vibe: Clear, social, reflective, mellow lift

Best fit: Daytime, conversations, being productive, getting out of your own way

Heads up: Start low and go slow if you’re newer, because too much may feel a little spacey

This one’s for the people who want to feel better without feeling out of it.

Keep the Mic on.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right”…

but something still feels off, this episode is for you.

Not burnt out.

Not lazy.

Just… disconnected.

From purpose. From direction. From anything that actually feels real.

We start this one talking about that strange feeling cannabis can bring up,

like none of this is new, like life has happened before, just in a different version.

But it turns into something deeper.

Because somewhere along the way, “progress” stopped meaning fulfillment

and started meaning faster, newer, more.

And a lot of people are left sitting there thinking…

why doesn’t this feel better?

What we get into:

• Why so many people feel lost right now

• How distraction replaced direction

• The difference between making money and having purpose

• Why you’re influencing people, whether you realize it or not

• And what it actually means to be a decent human in a noisy world

There’s also a real conversation around belief systems,

not as labels, but as lived behavior.

Because it’s easy to say what you believe.

It’s harder to live it.

Where cannabis fits

Not as an escape.

As a moment to slow down and actually look at your life.

Not guaranteed. Not the same for everyone.

But for some people, it’s where the questions start.

The takeaway

If you don’t choose your direction,

you’ll end up following someone else’s.

Fuel the movement. Keep the conversation going.

This one started with a discount eighth and a little suspicion.

Bachelor Party by Black Sheep was harvested back in December 2024, so yeah, this was definitely older flower. Usually that’s where expectations start dropping. Dry bud, muted flavor, weaker effects, all the usual red flags. But this one ended up doing something way more interesting. It held up.

What kicked this episode off was simple, Jesse grabbed it on sale for $22 an eighth, and we figured we’d see if this older batch was still worth the smoke. Turns out, Bachelor Party had a lot more going on than expected.

The flavor came through sweet, a little strange, and honestly kind of unique. There was a terpene in this one we don’t usually see, fenchyl alcohol, which sent us down a rabbit hole about aroma, uncommon terpene profiles, and why some strains hit different in ways you can’t always predict from the label alone.

But the real surprise was the effect.

This wasn’t one of those strains that punches you in the face right away. It had a slower onset, but once it settled in, it brought this really clear, relaxed, steady headspace. Not heavy in a dumb way. Not racy. Not foggy. Just calm, functional, and easy to ride with. Jesse talked about it knocking him out at night without even realizing it, while I ended up seeing it as something I’d use during the day, for work, hiking, or just hanging out.

That’s kind of what made Bachelor Party stand out. It felt flexible. If you’re already tired, it can lean bedtime. If you’re up and moving, it seems to move with you. Clear-headed, mellow, and surprisingly useful.

This episode also turned into one of those classic Cannabis School detours, where a strain review becomes a bigger conversation about perception, gratitude, anxiety, relationships, belief, internal dialogue, and how much your mindset shapes your experience. So yeah, this one covers flower, but it also goes way past flower.

Bottom line, Bachelor Party was way better than either of us expected, especially for year-old bud. Dry? Yeah, probably. But still flavorful, still effective, and honestly a really solid pickup.

If you can find a fresher batch, even better. But based on this one alone, Bachelor Party is worth paying attention to.

Strain: Bachelor Party

Brand: Black Sheep

Parent company discussed: Standard Wellness

Top terpenes discussed: beta-caryophyllene, limonene, humulene, fenchyl alcohol

Notable cannabinoids mentioned: CBC, CBG

Overall vibe: clear-headed, calm, flexible, lightly relaxing

Best fit from this episode: daytime, work, hiking, hanging out, or winding down if you’re already tired

This episode is for anyone who’s ever looked at an old jar on sale and thought, “there’s no way this is still good.”

Turns out, sometimes the cheap old weed still has a few things to say.

In this episode of The Sesh, we start with a painfully honest truth, novelty is addictive as hell.

Not in the dramatic after-school-special way. In the real-life way. Learning can feel productive. Research can feel productive. Building the perfect system can feel productive. But sometimes it’s just a prettier way to avoid doing the actual thing in front of you.

So that’s where this one starts.

We get into analysis paralysis, fear of failure, bare minimum habits, and why doing ten simple reps every day beats building some giant perfect plan you’ll never follow. We talk about what happens when your competitive edge fades, why rejection gets easier only after you’ve eaten enough no’s, and how asking for things opens way more doors than most people realize.

From there, this one goes where The Sesh always goes, into the weeds in the best way.

We get into parenting, connection, service, letting people help you, networking, sales, social awkwardness, work, masculinity, modern comfort, forgotten skills, religion, change, collapse, and why racing games somehow became therapy.

It’s funny, scattered, sharp, and way more honest than polished.

What we get into:

Why learning can turn into avoidance

Analysis paralysis and the fear behind overthinking

The power of simple daily reps

Why asking is a skill most people never build

How rejection changes you

Competition, drive, and what happens when you lose your edge

Service, connection, and why receiving help can be harder than giving it

The value of trades, real-world skills, and uncomfortable growth

Why change feels threatening even though life is literally change

How racing became meditation

A bunch of side quests, because obviously

This episode is for you if:

You keep “preparing” instead of starting

You’ve been stuck in your head and calling it progress

You miss feeling driven

You struggle to ask for what you want

You’re good at helping everyone but yourself

You like conversations that start in one place and end up somewhere way more interesting

One of the biggest takeaways from this one:

A lot of us are not actually stuck because we don’t know enough.

We’re stuck because doing the simple thing every day is less exciting than building a new theory about our life.

That’s the trap.

Listen now, then ask yourself:

What’s the thing you already know you need to do, but keep replacing with something more interesting?

Send us your thoughts, your feedback, and your suggestions for future episodes of The Sesh. We love hearing where your brain goes with these conversations.

This episode turned into exactly what Sour OG does best, a real conversation.

Not scattered. Not stuck. Just clear, relaxed, and actually present.

Sour OG sits right in that middle lane. You feel it in your body, but your head stays online. It’s the kind of strain you smoke when you want to talk something out, get into a flow state, or just be a better version of yourself for a couple hours.

This one goes everywhere, and honestly, that is what makes it fun.

We start with where we were when 9/11 happened, somehow end up in stories from the state hospital, take a hard left into awkward family moments, Utah sex culture, social media brain rot, work stress, gaming, cooking, and the weird ways cannabis helps slow life down enough to actually think.

Basically, it is one of those Sesh episodes where the conversation keeps unfolding and somehow still makes sense by the end.

Also, Zkittles was along for the ride, and this strain absolutely earned its spot. It kept us relaxed, clearheaded, talkative, and just introspective enough to get honest without going totally off the rails.

In this episode we get into:

Where we were when 9/11 happened

What it was like working in the forensic ward at the state hospital

Why some childhood and family memories should probably stay buried

Utah, repression, and why nobody gets taught how to communicate about sex

How social media can quietly turn life into something fake and transactional

Why cannabis can help cut through ego and get you back to what actually matters

The difference between doing things for numbers vs doing them because they help people

Food, cooking, convenience, and why feeling good matters more than just being full

Gaming rabbit holes, old favorites, and why some new games just are not built the same anymore

Why good conversation with the right person and the right strain still hits every time

About the strain:

This episode was powered by Zkittles, and it was a damn good fit.

Buzz’s Zkittles out of Utah came in at 21% THC and felt smooth, social, and super easy to ride. It helped take the edge off, loosen up the body, and made this one of those episodes where the conversation just kept flowing.

Not too heavy. Not too sleepy. Just one of those strains that makes it easy to sit back, talk, laugh, and actually enjoy where your mind goes.

Final thought:

Some episodes are polished. Some are planned. And some are just two people following the conversation wherever it wants to go.

This one is the third kind.

And honestly, those are usually the best ones.

We sat down with Zkittles from Buzz here in Utah… and ended up doing what this strain does best, getting lost in a real conversation.

Not scatterbrained.

Not couch-locked.

Just dialed in.

This one sits in that rare middle ground. You feel relaxed, but your mind is still sharp. You can follow a thought, stay present, and actually enjoy where the conversation goes instead of forgetting what you were saying halfway through.

Honestly, it felt like calm and clarity at the same time.

What It Feels Like

This is one of those strains that is tough to label cleanly.

You get:

A little energy

A little body calm

A little mood lift

A lot of mental clarity

It is not overwhelming in any direction, which is exactly why it works so well.

Great for hanging out, catching up, or even talking through real stuff without getting foggy.

Flavor + Smell

Leans fruity right away. We picked up grapefruit with a sweet citrus edge.

Not fake candy sweet, more natural fruit with a little funk behind it.

Terpenes (from what we saw at Buzz)

Beta-caryophyllene up front

Humulene

Linalool

Limonene

Myrcene

That combo explains a lot of the balanced feel. Calm body, clear head.

Lineage

What we saw tied this one to:

Grape Ape

Grapefruit

Like always, strain names can vary depending on who grew it, but that’s the general lane.

The Experience

This was one of those sessions where time just kind of disappears because you are actually engaged.

We went from joking around to real conversations without that weird mental drop-off.

It is introspective, but not heavy.

Focused, but not intense.

Relaxed, but not sleepy.

Honestly, this would be a great “talk it out” strain.

Quick Take

Good for:

Conversation

Chilling without checking out

Thinking clearly

Late afternoon or evening

Not ideal if you just want to be knocked out or completely shut your brain off.

Final Thought

Zkittles from Buzz is one of those strains that reminds you cannabis does not always have to hit hard to be good.

Sometimes it just needs to help you be a little more present.

If you are in Utah, this one is worth trying.

Let us know what you’re smoking on and what we should try next.

Three completely different worlds collide in this one.

A doctor who walked away from traditional medicine.

A nurse who realized she was never taught the full picture.

And a Jamaican herbalist who lived cannabis before it was legal and paid the price for it.

This episode goes deeper than surface-level cannabis talk.

We get into what actually happens when plant medicine meets modern healthcare and why that conversation still makes people uncomfortable.

There are prison stories.

There are hard truths about the medical system.

And there are real questions about what healing actually looks like.

The big takeaway is simple:

We’ve been looking at this wrong.

What We Get Into:

Growing up with cannabis before legalization

Getting arrested and still coming back to the plant

Why doctors and nurses are not trained on cannabis

The gap between what we are told and what actually works

PTSD from prohibition and why it still shows up

How cannabis fits into real healthcare

Why one-size-fits-all medicine falls short

The idea that your body may already be built to use this plant

The Book:

Why We Die, How to Live: Beyond Pills & Procedures

This book breaks down the top causes of death and looks at them through a different lens, one that includes cannabis, lifestyle, and prevention.

This is not a one-and-done read. It is something you come back to.

Real Talk:

This episode is not about hype.

It is about asking better questions.

Why is cannabis still misunderstood

Who benefits from that

What changes when you actually learn instead of just listen
