Thoughts Off The Stem | Cannabis Comedy

Thoughts Off The Stem is a comedy podcast packed with hilarious observations, personal stories, and unfiltered takes on everyday life. Join Justin Barone as he turns life's frustrations, weird thoughts, and the absurd into laughs.

They start cute. Cuddly. Irresistible. And then something happens.

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem, Justin breaks down the greatest long con in human history — parenthood. Conspiracy theorists have been out here looking for shapeshifters, and they've been right under our noses the whole time. They're called children.

From adorable babies who trick you into loving them, to teenagers who drain your wallet, ignore your rules, stink up the house, and act like they built it — this is a raw, unfiltered, comedic rant about the reality of raising kids nobody warned you about.

Single dad. Three teenagers. One boy, two girls. Zero chill.

If you have kids, you'll feel this in your soul. If you don't have kids, consider this your warning.

Meta glasses are cool. Walking through life like you're in Minority Report is genuinely impressive. But when they're on, they're on — and they see everything.

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem Justin Barone breaks down the real world problems that developers and consumers never think about until it's too late. Meta glasses recording things nobody consented to. Tesla owners blindsided by a $25,000 battery replacement bill. And the fundamental disconnect between building cool technology and actually thinking about how people will use it in the real world.

If you're recording with your face you'd think — you'd think about that.

Weed Facts this week: The newest cannabis impairment detection technology using VR headsets and eye tracking — boasting 98% accuracy. Your eyes tell on you every time.

Dude For Real: Meta workers are blowing the whistle on what they've actually seen through users smart glasses. It's exactly as disturbing as you'd expect.

I spent the last year in job interviews trying to break into project management after leaving the cannabis industry.

And every single time — without fail — someone in a suit would pull me aside, lean in, and whisper that they know someone who smokes weed. Like it's a secret. Like I'm supposed to react like they just told me they know Jesus.

Here's what they don't realize. I've walked into more interviews than I can count and recognized faces — not because I'm a great networker, but because I sold them weed.

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem it's just a sesh. No segments. Just real talk about cannabis normalization, the stigma that won't die, and why both sides of the debate need to take a breath.

The naysayers need to ease up. And honestly? We as the cannabis community need to stop pretending everything about weed is completely safe too. Progress is happening. Let's act like it.

Someone slid into my DMs and asked me to have the CEO of Crowds on Demand on the podcast. So I did what any self respecting pothead would do — I went down the rabbit hole.

Crowds on Demand is a real company. You can literally buy a crowd of paid activists for $39.99 per person. Need a protest outside your competitor's headquarters? Done. Need a packed political rally? Done. Need a fake grassroots movement with hired actors as leaders? Also done.

The person who reached out to me? Kristin M. Davis — the Manhattan Madam — who is now a PR consultant rebranding scandal-ridden public figures for a living.

He claims he wants to blow the whistle on the fake protest industry. But he won't name his clients. He won't name his sources. And his company still sells the exact same service he's supposedly exposing.

Here's my take — when you're whistleblowing you're supposed to do it for the better of society, not for the better of your bank account.

I broke it all down this week on Thoughts Off The Stem. And at the end of the episode I'm asking you directly — should I have him on the show? Because I genuinely don't think I'll get an honest conversation out of him.

There are men on the internet hitting themselves in the face with a hammer. On purpose. To get dates.

Justin has questions.

This week Thoughts Off The Stem breaks down Looks Maxxing — the incel community's full-send obsession with optimizing their face with a hammer and chewing gum — 400 sticks a day to chisel those jaw muscles. If the plan to get a date starts with blunt force trauma to the skull, Justin would like to suggest a different strategy.

Then we pivot to what weed actually does to your skin, because if you're going to take a hammer to the face you should probably know what your edibles are doing to your collagen first.

What do a 1930s paper tycoon and a modern-day alpha influencer have in common? Massive fragile egos and world-class temper tantrums.

Justin breaks down how the same playbook that criminalized cannabis in 1937 is being run today by manosphere creators — and why it all comes down to insecure men who never got over themselves. Harry Anslinger, William Randolph Hearst, and HSTikkyTokky walk into a bar. None of them can handle it.

Your girl is slowly getting rid of all your stuff and you didn't even notice until the blackout blinds went up and there were seventeen lotions on the bathroom counter. Also — has anyone else pulled a three-foot hair out of their ass crack before their morning coffee? Just Justin? Cool.

This week Justin rants about what happens when estrogen moves in and your bachelor pad quietly becomes a five-star spa, then pivots to the actual science of cannabis and anxiety — specifically the terpenes that act as a biological off-switch when your high gets a little too intense.

Ever had your gut tell you "Don't do it," only to have your brain say "Watch this" and your high self say "Hold my beer"? Welcome to Thoughts Off The Stem.

In this episode, host Justin Peron recounts the legendary university story of his first Gravity Bong (Bucket) experience—a literal "atom bomb" of smoke that resulted in a 4-hour blackout on a stranger’s couch. But once we clear the smoke, we’re diving into the deep history of cannabis. Did you know ancient shamans were buried with caches of weed 2,700 years ago? Or that the "War on Drugs" was actually a battle over paper and hemp?

• 
  

  High Lesson: Why you should never let someone else control the "mechanism" of your life (or your bong).

• 
  

  Ancient Weed Facts: Exploring 10,000 years of human cannabis use, from ancient Chinese braziers to the US Pharmacopeia.

• 
  

  The Paper vs. Hemp Conspiracy: The real reason cannabis became a Schedule I drug.

• Dude, For Real?: A breakdown of the funniest "high-atry" stories—including the girl who convinced herself she could walk and the person who tried to blow on their ice cream because it was "too hot."

Life is full of lessons, but sometimes you have to learn them the hard way. Whether you’re here for the laughs or the deep-dive history, pull up a chair, light one up, and let's get into it.

Is your AI a digital genius or a "technological drunkard" waddling through cyberspace? In this episode of Thoughts Off The Stem, Justin Barone breaks down why our obsession with ChatGPT and Gemini is leading us off a cliff. We treat AI like it’s Gandalf the Great, but in reality, it’s a toddler we’re asking for parenting advice.

Justin shares his personal "horror stories" navigating the shift from ChatGPT (the one that pushed him off a cliff) to Gemini (the "hotter sibling" that pulled him back up). From tanking podcast SEO to becoming a "baked" yes-man that just smiles and nods at your worst ideas, AI is officially full of it.

"AI chat bots can’t identify that they are a tool... they’re basically electronic emotional support animals trying to comfort you, letting you stroke them to calm your anxiety."
