Black Maple · Cannabis School

0:08
Welcome to Cannabis School. I'm your host, Jesse Angeles.
0:12
And I'm Brandon Elder. And we're here to talk to you
0:14
about everything pertaining to cannabis from vape.
0:17
Flour. Edibles, strains, and everything
0:20
in between. I was like, all right, well.
0:28
Whoa, whoa, no, dude. Welcome back, kids.
0:32
Yeah, Black Maple is. Really nice, yeah.
0:35
Pleasant so far. So welcome back to Tuesday.
0:39
We've got a strain review from Dragonfly.
0:43
You know what, the last two that we have smoked from them,
0:46
they've kind of really knocked him out of the park.
0:48
And this one especially. This is a very heady right here,
0:53
almost like pulling me up. Which is interesting.
0:57
It's a hybrid. It's mixed from Dolce de UVA and
1:02
never heard of Dolce de UVA I. Haven't heard of either one.
1:05
We're Scherbanger, yeah. It's very nice.
1:08
Honestly, the nugs are really pretty.
1:10
It's got kind of a Maple scent. Have you noticed that?
1:14
Oh. Wow, that's that smells good in
1:16
the jar. Like that's quite the nose on
1:19
it. Yeah, it's got a.
1:22
Really. All right, we got all six.
1:24
It's got a very dark, sweet note at the end, just like molasses
1:28
here. Yeah, it's.
1:30
Take a whiff and then pull it away and take another air.
1:34
Just some fresh air and you will get the scent of deep sweetness.
1:39
Yeah. That Maple Y like I'm talking
1:42
like real Maple syrup type stuff like a dark Maple syrup.
1:46
I we get the Costco Maple syrup. Yeah, I think that's where it
1:50
is. I don't know.
1:51
I always had just normal syrup growing up.
1:53
We never had Maple syrup. And then going to Maple syrup, I
1:57
was like, oh shit, this is a whole different like.
1:59
You know what I like to do with Maple syrup?
2:01
I can't handle Maple syrup on its own.
2:03
I like it darker and thicker. What do you do with that?
2:05
I reduce it. I just reduce it to until it
2:08
gives me a darker amber color and then I let it cool and then
2:11
rebottle it. Yeah, 'cause Maple syrup is so
2:14
runny. Yeah, I don't like that.
2:15
I like the thickness of the other one.
2:17
And so that's what I do with it 'cause that's what I imagine.
2:20
That's why it's so much more. Well, you would sugar filled in
2:23
that too because it's more concentrated.
2:26
Well, and it's all sugar, right? I mean, it's just high fructose
2:29
syrup with just a amber color and then the flavor of Maple.
2:33
So they don't really have Maple in there, and then they put in
2:36
other things in there as well. But real Maple syrup?
2:39
You can tell a difference. Just buy the real Maple syrup.
2:42
That's why I I want to, but it's just such a process of
2:45
reduction. So and you got to put it on a
2:47
big enough pot to let it and unless you want to sit there for
2:50
fucking hours, right? But it's, I don't know, it's
2:54
really nice. This is a really nice strain.
2:57
You're going to feel it really like right here pulling up.
3:01
For me it's a heaviness, but it doesn't make me feel like.
3:05
It's sinking down, yeah. Like I'm not feeling like it's
3:08
couch lock. Feel it in the bottom of my jaw,
3:11
but I also feel the top of my head feeling like.
3:13
What's What's the terps? Yeah, so we are limiting is our
3:17
top terp beta careful linpining. Oh, OK.
3:22
So linlol, alpha pining and then beta pining.
3:26
We got. That's the pining that I'm
3:28
feeling really awake. We've got trace amounts of delta
3:33
9 THCATHCVACBGCBCACBDA&CBGA. Hey, that's a pretty small but
3:43
wide like diverse cannabinoid profile.
3:47
I like that better with flour than concentrates.
3:49
When the concentrate is just straight THC and they have no
3:54
other cannabinoids. That's such a lacking
3:56
experience. It's just the, you know, what
3:59
was it like a month ago? I was going to this event, the
4:03
company I was working with and I was with this guy, he was
4:06
driving and he goes, hey, you want to hit off my vape cart?
4:09
And I said, yeah, sure. And it was, it's really good
4:12
tasting. Dude Select makes a good tasting
4:15
vape cart and there's some. Good flavors.
4:18
Yeah, but it's just how you feel immediately I.
4:21
Cough every time. Yup, bad.
4:23
Preston gets them every time we go do dinner and I'll take a
4:27
puff on his and I cough every single time.
4:30
Well, dude, it's. Just it's the same as like, you
4:32
know, like you like whiskey. Right.
4:35
A good Scotch, Yeah. And you know that the quality of
4:39
Scotch really affects the flavor and the age.
4:44
Of experience and yeah. I mean, you're not drinking
4:47
those making a face smooth. It's taste.
4:51
You can taste what they are telling you, right?
4:54
It's an experience You're you're absorbing, you know, the aged
4:59
oak barrel or whatever else has been associated with it.
5:03
Or if they infused it with anything, like if it did back
5:06
then or if it's just a straight, you know, whiskey.
5:09
But it's it's an experience that's an.
5:13
Experience. Yeah, and cannabis is like, you
5:17
know, looking at it that way, like what's the experience I'm
5:20
going for? This one's supposed to be happy,
5:23
relaxed, focused. So here's what I've Oh, so it
5:28
just has a breakdown of all of them, but happy and relaxed are
5:31
the top 2, with pain relief being the next one it looks
5:36
like. So yeah, not no it.
5:39
Comes on pretty strong in the forehead.
5:41
After a little bit of time, it dissipates and goes back into
5:43
the body, but it's not a heavy high.
5:46
It's awake. It's, it's all right.
5:49
I'm, it's not like it's, it's not a sativa, it's not an
5:52
indica. It's true hybrid.
5:54
I think the two betties that we mixed earlier in the sesh.
5:57
Oh, they were awesome. Were a better pairing than this
6:01
one on its own, yeah. I would say this is I don't
6:09
know, it's I. Wish I felt it more in my body.
6:11
Yeah, I just don't feel it enough.
6:13
Yeah, like I feel it in my head and my temples and I'm kind of
6:17
getting kind of feel. It in my cheeks.
6:18
Yep. But I feel pressure on the
6:20
sides. I don't know if I I feel it, but
6:23
it doesn't really feel pressure. No.
6:25
I just feel like a little bit of pressure there, but it's just
6:27
like, it's not necessarily like relaxing, but it's not
6:31
necessarily like to up. It's just a solid hybrid.
6:37
It's OK, but I don't feel like how we felt on the strains we
6:44
mixed. No, I mean, root beer was really
6:45
nice. Yeah, which we'll review because
6:47
I fucking dumped it everywhere. But that mixed with apple
6:50
fritters was just quite fantastic.
6:53
Dude, and I haven't experienced Apple fritters on its own like
6:56
that. You know what we should be
6:58
doing, dude? That's what we could do.
7:01
So we, we've pretty much gone through all their inventory
7:05
again almost I think we. Have we got Skywalker?
7:08
Oh. Skywalker's good, but I think
7:10
what we should be looking at is we should be pairing them.
7:14
Yeah, we do need to do more combos.
7:16
But we do one combo where we both like, we take those two
7:19
strains, we try it, we just like, we half, we get the same
7:24
one and then we half the half the blend and we grind it
7:28
together, right. And then we, we come up with
7:32
something else and then we, we profile like we'll put the
7:35
genetic breakdown and below and all the shit that goes along
7:40
with it. Because who knows, somebody
7:41
could go, dude, that sounds like an amazing experience.
7:43
Maybe I wanna create that. And that would be cool 'cause I,
7:46
I mean, our world of cannabis is there's very few solid land race
7:52
strains that you are going to find like he used to like
7:55
Acapulco Gold. You're not gonna find that
7:58
that's not been hybridized. It's.
8:00
Kind of rare and it might come through the area once in a while
8:03
where. They're like a really old grow
8:06
that's been doing it every year. Yeah.
8:08
Or they just, they have the seeds or the clones and they
8:10
just don't like actually grow them very often because they
8:13
have so many genetics to rotate through.
8:15
Well, in the demand from consumers is high, right and.
8:19
New and. Yeah, and that's the shitty
8:21
thing. Like I hate it.
8:22
Like the the whole push for THC. Just get off that bandwagon.
8:27
It's not worth it. This is a higher THC than you.
8:29
Guys still pushing, what do you guys asking for when you go to
8:32
your dispo? Are you looking for the highest
8:34
THC? What has been your focus when
8:37
you've gone lately to the pharmacy or the dispensary?
8:41
Yeah. Are you looking for terps?
8:42
Are you looking for like? Are you asking about like,
8:45
what's and and being aware? Dollar ask.
8:49
About the entourage effect, like, you know, we grab, I I
8:52
grabbed another one, we're gonna review it and it turned out to
8:54
be a really good screen and it's called Brand 0 here.
8:58
Oh, that's their brand, yeah. Yeah, and it it's supposed to be
9:02
like. Oh, it was candy.
9:04
Carbon candy. And.
9:05
It's a great sativa, really good sativa.
9:10
I have really enjoyed it. I would put it right below
9:13
cougar piss. Those are big shoes.
9:16
Yeah, I really enjoy because I've I've smoked a little bit
9:18
more of it and it's really good. It's really, really good because
9:23
it but the other caveat is, you know, we'll get into it on the
9:26
next episode. But anyways, this one, do you
9:29
see how I left a cliffhanger there?
9:31
They're like, no, just kidding. You're not thinking like that.
9:33
This is not that kind of show. But it this is this would be a
9:37
great pairing strain, but not on its own.
9:41
Not on its own. That's why I went on that
9:42
tangent of pairings when we go to the dispatch, because I think
9:45
that pairing should be. I think that that should be what
9:49
a lot of people are already doing, but they're not kind of
9:51
like naming it because I don't need to go to the dispensary
9:54
looking for the new strain. I should be looking for what
9:59
helps me the most. And sometimes combining strains
10:03
get you exactly where you want to be all the time.
10:06
I think you're right. There needs to be more of that
10:09
in my regular routine of just blending strains, you know, you
10:15
think. About it, like I enjoy all of
10:18
it. There's parts of some of the
10:19
strains that I don't particularly like on their own,
10:22
like Peach Maraschino. Yeah, that 1 was hit or miss, I
10:26
think. But when you combine it with
10:27
other ones, I think if you combine it with the stronger
10:30
indica, it's really nice. And I there's no like perfect
10:33
ratio. It's like cooking.
10:35
I'm thinking of if I were to take, you know, 567 strains, put
10:41
them all into a grinder and grind them up, what that
10:45
experience might do. You know, be cool, you take all
10:48
the TURP profiles and then you drop that shit into chat and
10:52
then you go, here's what I'm creating.
10:54
What could be expected out of this?
10:56
It's going to go. I have no fucking clue.
10:58
No, it just goes error, error. Yeah, no, it would probably give
11:03
you a really nice sci-fi answer, right?
11:07
Man, I think that's what I I will definitely have to try
11:10
that. Just grinding up a bunch of
11:12
different strains just in a grinder, stirring it all up real
11:15
well. Yeah, just mix.
11:16
I, I would start with like 2, take the terp profiles.
11:20
Oh yeah. And then measure it like you go,
11:22
OK, what, what, what am I feeling here?
11:25
And then trying it different times.
11:26
So I mean, we're already smoking anyways.
11:28
And it's cool because right when you're doing it, you have your
11:31
chat right there. You're about 5-6 minutes into
11:34
your smoke, you're starting to feel it.
11:36
You're going, hey, this is what I'm feeling right now.
11:37
I'm just describing this and I need you to keep a record of it
11:40
and I want you to make it see it feel readable later on 'cause
11:43
I'm going to go on a bunch of fucking tangents.
11:44
Ready go. And then you just start talking
11:47
oh shit, you are high. Yeah.
11:48
And then it goes, I, whenever I do that, 'cause I'll do that as
11:52
my diary, yeah, is to understand the strain.
11:55
And it goes, oh, that sounds like a really good strain,
11:59
especially for those hard days laughing.
12:01
And just like this is good. It's better after.
12:05
I like it more as it's settling in.
12:07
Yeah, it's not. It's happy, but it's kind of a
12:10
long road to this part. Yeah, if it was on sale.
12:13
I love the look, I love the smell.
12:16
The flavors are nice. Flavors are nice.
12:19
Exceptional. Again, it takes a little bit to
12:22
settle into it. Give it some time, then it's not
12:24
as bad. I thought it was bad.
12:27
It just doesn't, you know, it's. Still subtle.
12:30
Well, and again, it's only compared to what you just
12:33
experienced, right? It's it's the same thing as like
12:36
when you eat scallops at like Red Lobster compared to at a
12:41
real restaurant, right? A real.
12:43
Seafood. You, you experience that food
12:46
completely differently and that's also to keep an open mind
12:50
that you may have Black Maple Ward, you are in your dispensary
12:53
at your pharmacy. Oh, and it might be amazing.
12:56
And also may have a completely different turf profile.
12:58
So with that said, though there may be different variations but
13:03
tell. Us, if you guys have had black
13:04
Maple, what have been your thoughts?
13:06
Yeah. Has it been quite as heady?
13:08
Have you felt like it was a lot more enjoyable, or was it kind
13:11
of about the same as ours? Yeah.
13:13
What strains had you guys been mixing on your own?
13:16
What's a what's an old standby that you have felt like?
13:19
If I mix this with this, that puts me in the best happy place
13:22
all day long? Oh.
13:24
That was like when we did Green Crack in northern No Jack
13:27
Herrera in Northern Lights. That was pleasant as well.
13:31
We had a great. Conversation it was, it was
13:33
good. Something about combos, guys.
13:35
Yep, it's like, it's like friends, right?
13:39
It's better than doing it alone. Yeah.
13:41
McClain sent me this photo and it said how girls take off their
13:46
bras. And it showed a girl, like, with
13:47
her hands behind her back. And then it's like how I take or
13:50
how girls get get off their bras and then how I get off my bras
13:54
and it showed one dude in the middle of two dudes with all
13:56
their shirts off and the one in the middle of smiling and I'm
13:59
like oh gross. I never know how to take those.
14:02
I just laughed and I was like. Oh man.
14:05
So doesn't matter how you get your bras off, I hope you have
14:09
some black Maple or something delicious.
14:12
Yeah. And with that, take care.
