Thoughts Off The Stem | Cannabis Comedy

Why does it feel like everything is fake now?We put on different masks for work, friends, family and social media. Instagram turned everyday life into a highlight reel, influencers started pretending they're living lifestyles they can't afford, and now AI is making it harder to tell what's actually real.Justin goes down another Thoughts Off The Stem rabbit hole about fake lifestyles, rented Lamborghinis, AI slop, fake podcast clips, social media, misinformation and the weird stuff we're willing to believe online.But underneath all of that is a simpler question: where's the honesty?Justin talks about a lesson his dad taught him as a kid after he broke a window and tried to lie about it, why failure is part of actually succeeding, and why he tries to keep Thoughts Off The Stem as one place where you get an honest thought instead of another polished version of reality.Maybe we don't need everything to look perfect. Maybe we just need people to be honest about what is actually going on.Join the sesh.

Everyone wants your time. Your job, your kids, your partner, your family, your friends, your phone... everybody needs something from you. And when you finally get a couple hours to yourself, somehow you feel guilty for not using them productively.Justin Barone gets into the frustrating reality of trying to find time for yourself when you're working, raising kids, taking care of a house, answering messages and dealing with everything else life throws at you.Because apparently the solution is always “just make time.”Cool. Where the F am I supposed to get it?From waking up at 4:30 in the morning to a disastrous boxing class, disappearing into his bedroom for some peace and getting bombarded with texts the second he finally sits down, Justin takes a very TOTS look at time, responsibility, guilt, productivity and why sometimes doing absolutely nothing is exactly what you needed.Those are this week's Thoughts Off The Stem.Join the sesh.

People can't communicate anymore. At work, nobody wants to point fingers, so everyone talks in circles. Nobody wants to hurt anyone's feelings, so somehow everyone ends up more confused. And now we've got phones, texts, notifications, FaceTime and a million ways to reach each other — yet we're somehow worse at actually talking to one another.After a long, exhausting week, Justin decides he needs a proper smoke day. No bullshit. Get high, clean the house, rearrange the living room and let the world roll off his back.This week on Thoughts Off The Stem, it's a stoned stream-of-consciousness about fucked-up communication, phones, work, getting older, finding a little peace and why sometimes you just need to get high and rearrange your living room.Join the sesh.

What happens when you become so famous and powerful that nobody around you is willing to tell you no?

Justin Barone goes down a rabbit hole about celebrity culture, fame, money, power, yes-men and what happens when people become insulated from criticism.

Starting with Michael Jackson and The Verdict, the conversation gets into celebrity scandals, extreme wealth, questionable decisions, conspiracy theories and the strange reality of being surrounded by people who might never tell you you're wrong.

Maybe that's the problem with fame.

Maybe when nobody can tell you no, eventually you stop knowing when you should hear it.

Thoughts Off The Stem is cannabis comedy packed with hilarious observations, personal stories and unfiltered takes on everyday life.

What happens when you actually let yourself get bored?You start thinking. You get creative. Your brain wanders.And sometimes that wandering takes you somewhere completely ridiculous.Justin Barone goes down the rabbit hole on boredom, attention spans, doom scrolling, technology, AI and conspiracy theories—and why maybe we need a little more silence and stillness in our lives.Thoughts Off The Stem is cannabis comedy packed with hilarious observations, personal stories, and unfiltered takes on everyday life.New episodes every Friday at 4:20 PM.

We were lied to about being adults.

As kids, adulthood sounded amazing. Freedom. Your own money. Nobody telling you what to do. You'd finally get to make the rules.Then you actually become an adult and realize it's basically Groundhog Day with bills.This week on Thoughts Off The Stem, I'm talking about the scam that is adulting—from doing the same stuff at work every day to coming home and repeating the same instructions to your kids until you sound exactly like your parents.Clean your room. Do your homework. Take out the garbage. Wash your ass.Eventually you realize the people you thought were miserable, strict adults when you were a kid weren't necessarily miserable at all.They were completely exhausted.Somewhere between responsibilities, work, parenting and trying to keep an entire household functioning, you also have the horrifying realization that your parents' words are now coming out of your mouth.Maybe growing up isn't becoming the adult you always wanted to be.Maybe it's finally understanding why your parents were so tired.Adulting Is a Scam.New episodes of Thoughts Off The Stem every Friday at 4:20 PM.Follow, subscribe and join the sesh.

You spend years dreaming about a little peace and quiet. Then one day, you actually get it… and suddenly the house feels a little too quiet.

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem, I’m talking about my oldest heading off to university, the weird reality of watching your kid start their own life, and the completely irrational things that start running through a parent’s head when they realize they can’t protect them from everything anymore.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a TOTS episode without things going sideways. There’s a confession I definitely wasn’t prepared for, a trip back to my own university days that probably explains why I’m worried, and proof that apparently becoming an adult is terrifying for everyone involved.

Plus, I put the Can2Kit 39 Cone Filler through its paces during the sesh.

It’s funny how badly you can want some peace and quiet… right up until you finally get it.

Justin's back on the sesh and he is riled all the way up, dude. This week's story starts with a "simple" new ordering system at work — one tiny extra step that was supposed to make everything more efficient. Instead it's turned into a week-long war between Justin and a rotating cast of characters (shoutout to Tiptoes, Acne, and ZZ Top Beard) who all insist they know what the word "trigger" means... and none of them do.Add in a micromanager who won't stop screaming his name, one legendary coworker with the single greatest breakdown of corporate dysfunction you'll ever hear, and a rant about why nobody tests anything before they launch it anymore — this episode has it all.You've been in this conversation before. You know this guy. Press play and find out just how close Justin came to throwing hands over a piece of tape on the floor.Thoughts Off The Stem is a comedy podcast packed with hilarious observations, personal stories, and unfiltered takes on everyday life.

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem, Justin tried manifesting for two months on an assembly line.

Nothing changed. He still has no money. Still renting. Still no yacht. But he did develop a nagging internal voice that interrupted every "I am wealthy" with a very firm "no you're not."

Turns out your brain is not an idiot. You can't trick it. And if you spend enough time lying to yourself on repeat, one of two things happens — you either annoy yourself enough to actually get off the couch and do something, or you end up like Michael Douglas in Falling Down, standing in traffic with a briefcase and a 200 page manifesto wondering how you got there.

This week is a full unfiltered rant about manifesting, vision boards, the guy on TikTok who changes timelines through his shower, why mantras are not magic, and what manifesting actually is when you strip away the incense and the dirty carpet and the cosmic Amazon Prime fantasy.

Spoiler: you still have to do the work. 🌿
