Blue Pluto Strain Review · Cannabis School

0:00
Welcome to Cannabis School. I'm your host, Jesse Angeles.
0:03
And I'm Brandon Elder. And we're here to talk to you
0:05
about everything pertaining to cannabis from vape.
0:09
Flour. Edibles.
0:10
Strains and everything in between.
0:13
Oh my God. Louise.
0:14
Cough your guts out, that's what.
0:16
That's what the title of this episode is.
0:18
Cough your guts out. Welcome back, kids.
0:20
Oh, hello. So today we are going to be
0:23
trying some. I guess we already have tried a.
0:26
Little And I'm so glad we did before we started recording.
0:30
Hopefully it helps us to being able to not cough as much
0:33
because this is blue Pluto today.
0:35
Holy shit. Yeah, and it is a very coffee
0:37
strain at the beginning. Very Piney smelling strain too.
0:40
I enjoy it. I enjoy the Piney strains.
0:43
You can tell, but man, that. Cough, it just got me in the
0:46
back of the lungs. I did this one the other night
0:48
while we were racing and holy shit it was brutal.
0:52
I mean it was amazing. That was a great night racing
0:55
but like. Oh yeah?
0:55
You kick my trash. You absolutely obliterated me.
0:58
No, it's awesome, man. I mean, you were just in the
1:00
zone. And that's the thing too.
1:02
Like when you're looking at strain, sometimes you get into
1:04
the zone with certain things. Like one thing for me used to be
1:08
is I would have these edibles during the daytime when I was
1:11
working in the insurance world. By the way, I'm no longer in the
1:14
insurance world. Yeah, Jesse's hunting too.
1:17
Looking for a new home? Yeah.
1:19
And, and, and we'll, we'll talk a little bit more about certain
1:22
things in there in the next session.
1:23
But you know, you want to be productive with certain strains
1:27
or you want to get out of it. So let's take two different
1:30
parts from my world right now, right when I'm in the zone I
1:35
need not always a sativa. Yeah.
1:38
Sometimes I need a good hybrid that maybe a little into
1:41
killeening just to kind of chill me out and keep me going.
1:44
I. Think it depends on the anxiety
1:45
level of the day and the stress levels.
1:47
If I am feeling more stressed or, and or anxious and
1:51
potentially in pain, I'll learn more towards like the indica
1:54
hybrid or an indica dominant one.
1:57
But if I'm not feeling anxious or that sometimes I'll learn
2:00
more to the sativa dominant 1 where I'm like, all right, these
2:03
terpenes are going to be a lot better for focus.
2:05
I'm already not feeling anxious. It's a pretty good mindset or
2:08
wherever I'm at for the day, right?
2:10
But yeah, I think that can make a big difference in the
2:14
effectiveness of your productivity at work or whatever
2:17
you're doing. Well, and another thing is that
2:19
many people don't associate with it is that your current
2:23
psychological state or what we call a mood will drastically
2:28
affect how this cannabis is going to affect your body.
2:31
So one that we really love. Halle Berry.
2:34
Beautiful string here. Very purpley really.
2:36
Low THC percentage like 1890? No, Maybe it's 19.
2:40
Yeah, it's about 19 but very chill feel.
2:42
But then I went through, I lost my job.
2:45
And with that I was just like, my anxiety was high.
2:50
But I'm like, no, I'm going to be Coco.
2:51
I understand what's going on. I'm very self aware.
2:54
We're OK. As I start dealing with it, my
2:56
body knows that we're stressed out, that things are going on.
3:00
You know, the, the body know. And I'm just like, OK, I need to
3:03
regulate my body. So I went to Halle Berry and I
3:06
smoke Halle Berry. Then I started getting real
3:09
anxious and I'm like, you know what?
3:11
I'm going to go to a hard end to come.
3:12
I'm going to go to ice cream cake.
3:14
I go to ice cream cake and I'm just calm.
3:16
So what strains may be really good for sleep, may be really
3:21
great for getting you under control and not freaking out.
3:25
I believe that freaking out is the point where problems start.
3:30
It's not the problem itself. The problem is a solution to be
3:33
solved, but the problem can be just like.
3:36
Me when we freak out, we are no longer actively in a good state
3:40
to work on solutions, right? But we're in that moment of
3:44
freaking outgoing. I need all the solutions and I
3:46
have to fix it and. Yet reactive.
3:47
Yeah, and reactive is never anywhere near as effective as
3:52
just being proactive with it. Well, not even proactive, but
3:55
just being, but by being in the moment, like just going, is this
3:59
affecting me? Can I make a big change on it?
4:02
I know this is logical, but I need to make sure that I'm okay.
4:05
And it it sometimes feels out of control.
4:07
But you've done this before where you've been able to pull
4:10
yourself out of a really shitty state, but you needed help.
4:13
And that's where I feel cannabis is like a really good like
4:15
buffer. Honestly, I mean, cannabis is
4:18
huge, but even in those moments when I am like stressed or
4:22
shitty, like I can't overcome whatever it is, that's when I
4:26
turn to meditation even within there, because it is usually
4:30
it's the what am I thinking about?
4:32
What is my mind? And it's like, OK, well, my mind
4:34
is here. This is what I'm thinking about.
4:36
This is what it's ruminating over and why I can't get off of
4:39
this top. And so then I'm like, all right,
4:42
well, meditation has just allowed me to go, all right,
4:44
stop. Like you can't change that.
4:46
And even throughout the meditation, if I'm not
4:48
meditating more regularly, half, 80% of that meditation is my
4:53
mind just thinking. But it's those couple moments
4:55
within that meditation of like, all right, no, I'm actually
4:58
focused on the breath. I'm doing box breathing or
5:00
tactical breathing or whatever you want to call it, or I'm
5:02
doing different breathing things.
5:04
And that has been able to really just clear that mind because
5:08
aside from that, it is it's like so stressful sometimes.
5:11
And like Finn's moving up here in July and I'm sitting here
5:16
going, shoot, I can navigate the life where I'm at now, but I
5:20
need to have this in place for this to happen.
5:24
So it's just this added layer of stress where I'm excited, but
5:27
I'm also like. But it's.
5:29
Stressing in the back of my head constantly of like, all right.
5:33
And so it's it's these times of like yesterday even I was doing
5:36
a couple of breaths and I noticed when I was using
5:39
cannabis and I was breathing, not only did I actually feel the
5:42
cannabis more, my whole body calmed down.
5:44
Yeah. I was like, oh, I don't know why
5:46
I don't do this more. Well, for me, like I've, I've
5:49
tried the meditation approach and people like, oh, you need to
5:52
be calm. But the thing too I'm, I'm
5:53
thinking is, is that I can put myself in meditative states
5:57
where I don't have to be in a breathing state because the
6:01
where my mind tends to go, I can't focus and I start going
6:05
there and I lose that. But but I find that certain
6:10
types of music. I tried that one that you were
6:13
telling me. About which one the 808 D is OK,
6:18
it depends on, as I said, it's really hit or miss.
6:20
It depends on the artist on who designs it, not some of them
6:24
sound really cool and it depends on the headphones.
6:26
Yeah, but the Airpod Pro should do it.
6:28
But it's again it's. It was the music itself and then
6:32
like the the sound of the voices and stuff, I'm like, no, I don't
6:36
need that. That's distracting for me.
6:39
Like synth wave, music is meditated.
6:42
Yeah, that wouldn't be a sit down and focus kind of music.
6:45
Oh no. No, it's just like any type of
6:47
man. Like I tried to listen to but it
6:49
would be. Not your jam, I mean, yeah, No,
6:52
I mean, OK, I like trying it. It was really cool.
6:55
I just was like, I was trying what I was trying to get from.
6:58
It was the same thing that I get from my flow state meeting.
7:01
Playlist, not that. My flow state is thoughts
7:04
sinking in and going straight. I don't get distracted on it and
7:09
and I've seen things like that, like EDM for the ADHD.
7:13
Mine is medicine. I've I saw a post like that and
7:15
I'm like, you know what? I wouldn't I wouldn't argue with
7:18
their there because I go, oh, this is where the things go it.
7:22
It's like what cannabis does to me without that.
7:24
And then when I add cannabis to it, it heightens my sense.
7:27
So I start to figure my shit out.
7:29
Like I go for walks, that's my meditation for me.
7:32
Or I go into a state where I'm just like, I just need to allow
7:36
my body to stop. And especially at the beginning
7:38
of meditation, it is so hard because that is all that it is,
7:42
is my mind doesn't stop. Oh, I'm not doing this right.
7:45
Oh, I suck. This is a horrible practice.
7:47
I can't meditate. I can't do this because that's
7:49
what the constant is. And it takes so long.
7:52
It's like any practice. The first bit, when you first go
7:55
to the gym and you look like me, yeah, you can't do that many
7:58
reps. You look like shit, You feel
8:00
like shit and you're doing 510 lbs.
8:02
I'd be. And then you're like, oh, I
8:04
don't want to come back to the gym 'cause I, yeah.
8:07
So then it's that battle of I, I don't want to do that.
8:10
Well, and, and I, I mean, and that's a good, that's a good
8:13
point. And that's where I'd, I'd push
8:15
back on that one is that meditation isn't a practice like
8:19
religion where you do it one way.
8:20
It's just. A practice of.
8:21
Of stating your mind. Continuous practice, but I
8:25
think. Into that.
8:25
State that's the problem is most of us try it once and go, oh, I
8:29
don't want to do that. It's not.
8:30
Practice is not really a practice.
8:32
It's. I tried meditation.
8:34
I did this the. Only other meditation I've
8:36
really enjoyed was like a group breath work, it was the most
8:39
intense. That was still a meditation.
8:41
Yeah, it was a meditation. It was great.
8:42
And it was just breath work. But that's what I was saying,
8:44
Like with me, the meditative state I get into usually.
8:48
Be ever had anything the same as that breath work experience?
8:52
No Psychedelically, no. And that wasn't a social
8:55
experience. I mean, it was psychedelic
8:57
feeling, but you weren't on psychedelics.
9:00
No, not at all. It was the most intense.
9:03
Yeah, well, that's like the Wim Hof breathing that I did right
9:05
where I have never experienced that type of euphoria on dude.
9:10
You know, in the best orgasm you feel that like, but it's no, no,
9:15
no, I mean, I've had amazing orgasms, but like that
9:18
meditation was I've never felt it through every fiber of every
9:21
part of like it was just this whole weird sensation of the.
9:27
Craziest thing for me during breath work was when I wasn't
9:30
able to consciously control my breathing anymore, like it was
9:34
overtaken and was going on its own.
9:36
Yeah. And I know the sequence of
9:38
breaths and, and where it got me to that state and I really
9:41
enjoyed it. But yeah.
9:43
But if you did that, like in those states where you feel
9:45
super shitty in that if you could access that, but it's so
9:48
hard Yeah, to it was a guided thing through this whole and
9:52
you'd never done that before. No, no, I've never experienced
9:55
that same level on a meditation cause I've not done the same
9:59
breath work when I did a Wim Hof.
10:00
But to me, that was a a breathing technique.
10:04
Yeah, meditation. No, I like that too.
10:06
And I'm, I'm wanting to get into that as well, understanding that
10:09
with my body, I mean, the one thing I really loved about the
10:11
breath work thing is that my lung capacity probably increased
10:15
by 20% because I was able to breathe better and able to focus
10:20
on, I mean it, it was pretty amazing.
10:23
The one thing I would say though, don't ever go to a
10:26
breath work thing right after you smoked a bowl because your
10:29
mouth's gonna get dry. It'll be so dry.
10:31
Oh my gosh. It'd be just like gritty
10:33
sandpaper there. You're like, but it's I really
10:36
like, you know, And in talking back into the meditative state,
10:39
talking about blue Pluto, we're a few minutes in.
10:42
We're about 10-15 minutes into this feeling.
10:44
I'm feeling pretty good. It's really heady.
10:46
It's on the back of my head. Very, very heady.
10:49
Yeah, it's really heady. My body doesn't feel it.
10:53
I just feel it from the inside out on my head, like it feels
10:56
like it's inside kind of well. It's like constant pressure on
11:00
on my on the back of my neck, up into my the, the crown.
11:05
Is it the crown or the base Base of my skull?
11:08
You. Think the crown's the top?
11:09
Yeah, yeah. Crown's here, so the base of my
11:11
skull right here, I can feel it, but it's like almost like
11:14
somebody squeezing my neck. So there's a little bit of
11:17
tension. Yeah, but that that's to be
11:20
understandable. This is more of an indica
11:22
leaning. Yeah, it's supposed to be an
11:24
indica dominant hybrid from mixing Pluto Kush and some
11:29
unknown strain to get Blue Pluto.
11:31
The weird thing is though, I don't get the pain relieving, I
11:34
get more tension. But it's supposed to be just
11:37
more like calming and a little bit relaxing.
11:40
I don't know if it has a lot of pain.
11:42
Yeah because like I can feel my the pain from my last workout
11:46
like and that was 2 days ago and my arm workout like I blew the
11:49
shit out of those arms and now like my left tricep I can.
11:53
Feel all of it crazy. But that's a cool sensation
11:59
because like before I got here, I didn't feel that at all.
12:02
So. Interesting you know where.
12:04
Now you. Yeah, Well, I see this is more
12:07
of like a self calibration strain.
12:09
Like where am I at? Like I can talk about things
12:12
going on in my head, like you were talking about meditation
12:14
and I'm talking about like different types of meditative
12:17
states, flow states of where you get into a good mindset to kind
12:21
of figure out your shit. And this strain really is more
12:26
focused on that. So I'm I'm aware of my body and
12:29
I'm aware of my mind. You know what I thought was
12:31
interesting? I was listening to some book the
12:34
other day and it was talking about box breathing which is
12:37
common for like meditation. What's box breathing?
12:39
4 second breath hold for 4/4 second out breath hold for four.
12:43
So that's what I learned when I've been through the breath.
12:44
Tactical breathing in military though, so when they go into
12:48
tactical environments that's what they use to focus.
12:50
Is that same box breathing? And I was like, interesting.
12:54
So the military is just a different type of name for the
12:57
same process, but it still is to put you in this very focused,
13:00
very attentive, aware state. And that was like.
13:03
Well, you think about it when you're nervous or frustrated or
13:06
angry, your breathing is erratic.
13:08
It changes. It goes, you remember that in
13:11
NLP training, like one of the things that talking about being
13:14
able to call me other person that's in front of you.
13:17
And one of them I really liked was increase your breath rate to
13:21
match their breath rate and then start to gradually slow yours
13:24
down. And then they calm down and they
13:27
go, why am I calm? And I've used that so much with
13:30
people, my kids, my wife, even myself, where I'm just like, OK,
13:35
we're going to calm our breath down because it's always comes
13:38
from that. So when you bring that up,
13:40
that's. Such a big difference.
13:41
Well, you think if you're doing box breath, you're you're being
13:43
more calculated because you're thinking.
13:45
Counting. So your focus is and that's what
13:47
I've. Known 12341. 2 is when I'm
13:50
always doing that. If I'm meditating and I'm
13:53
noticing I'm stressed, it's because of all my thoughts.
13:55
If those thoughts can stop, if I can just get it back to like,
13:58
hey, you're right here. So it is for me.
14:01
A lot of the time it's like counting breaths or I'm like,
14:03
OK, I'm feeling this breath right here.
14:05
And I focus on that feeling and it only lasts for moments
14:09
because when I'm stressed and that another thought pops up or
14:11
it goes this way and that way and I'm like, fuck, OK, Like I
14:14
know that's why I'm trying to do this.
14:16
And so then I come back and I'm like, all right, no breathe,
14:19
just breathe. Slow breath, like count it out.
14:21
And so I'll do that because I'm like, all right, I don't need to
14:24
be focusing on all this stuff that's just stressing my body.
14:27
It's not actually helping me resolve or do anything or move
14:31
forward. Most of the time it either puts
14:33
me in a holding pattern, a fear, like something that I'm like,
14:36
I'm not being effective for myself, for my life, my family,
14:40
whatever it is, I'm not effective.
14:42
Yeah. And I yeah.
14:44
And so it's that breath is like it's huge because even in the
14:47
car if I'm just chilling and that and I'm like, oh, cool,
14:50
hey, why am I feeling tight? Am I, oh, how's my breathing?
14:54
I'm like, my breathing is shallow.
14:55
My breathing's like whatever. And so I'll try and focus on my
14:59
breath and go, OK, we'll take deeper breaths now slow your
15:02
breathing down. Like why are we doing this?
15:04
And a lot of it just as, hey, all the shit in our heads going
15:08
on, we got to do this and got to do this.
15:09
And hey, you failed here. You're short here.
15:12
You got to pay this bill or you got to do this.
15:14
Or I remember that one thing I said.
15:15
And how is my wife reacting to that?
15:18
Like it's just constant thoughts in our minds and trying to chase
15:22
them all down is tiring. Well, and it's being, I mean,
15:26
the one thing I'm grateful for now is that I'm, I'm pretty self
15:29
aware. I know when I'm OK, I know when
15:31
I'm not. You know, the reason why I lost
15:34
my job was I was, it's a, it's extremely competitive and very
15:39
strict metrics with this company.
15:42
And it's totally fine. I didn't make it.
15:44
I missed it by one. This is the second time I went
15:47
on probation for that. They have really high numbers.
15:50
They have high standards and I didn't come to it.
15:53
And that's OK. That's my fault.
15:54
But it was funny because when I went into the office, I kind of
15:57
knew and I lost my job a long time ago.
16:01
I got fired. And when I got fired, I
16:04
immediately yelled at the guy because the guy's like, well,
16:07
we're going to do this and we're going to let you go for this
16:09
technicality. And I was like, this sounds like
16:11
a fucking witch hunt. And I was like, you guys are
16:13
just using me as as a as leverage point with other
16:16
people. And I was like, this is
16:18
bullshit. I know many people that have
16:20
broken this one, including you guys.
16:21
And I said, and you're firing me for this.
16:23
And they're like, yeah. And I'm like, what am I supposed
16:24
to do about my family? Frank was the guy.
16:26
And I'm like, I was so mad at him, but realizing that I had
16:31
done something and I got caught and oh, well, yeah.
16:34
Like, own it. Oh yeah.
16:36
I I'd gotten fired over at Jive. That was because I went above my
16:40
boss's boss to this VP. He didn't like that.
16:43
And so I had enough. What is it?
16:46
If you're going to be sick, you need a doctor's note.
16:49
I was sick two or three days. Everyone in the office was sick.
16:52
I had a doctor's note. I got the doctor's note and I
16:55
turned it in. But because I didn't turn it
16:57
into HRI, turned it into my manager like I had the entire
17:01
two years I'd been there. That was an instance that he was
17:04
able to let me go because it didn't track or he didn't put it
17:06
through. And so they're like, oh, well,
17:09
if you had sent it into HR, we could have done it and it would
17:11
have been fine. But because of this, and because
17:13
he was going to lose his job because of the issues that our
17:16
department was having, that I had raised up with the VP.
17:19
So after I got let go, he got demoted because he was going to
17:23
get let go. And one of his friends in
17:24
another department hired him out under him, but he got massively
17:28
demoted because it was that or he lost his job.
17:30
Yeah. But that was hard because I was
17:32
so frustrated and in there I was like, cool, well, if if I get
17:36
fired, at least I get this. Like they were paying people out
17:39
and they're like, oh, actually because of this, you're not
17:41
going to get it at all. And I was like, well, fuck you
17:45
guys. It's like that guy in the movie
17:46
gets hit with one arrow, he goes oh and then like 5 more arrows
17:49
go. He just slowly dies on the pole,
17:52
no? But it was the time it was like
17:53
Oh well that's fine, I'm starting my own business anyway.
17:56
And then I tried that and then my ex-wife was like hey I need
17:58
more money. I'm like oh I can't do this
18:00
while trying to start a business.
18:01
So got to go back to working for someone.
18:03
Yeah, constant perpetual cycle. You know, so I was like, gosh,
18:06
yet. But it just wasn't what I was
18:08
supposed to be doing at that moment, I guess.
18:11
Well, you know, but the difference now, like I, I got
18:14
let go and it wasn't because I did something like bad.
18:18
It was just like I didn't hit their marks.
18:20
And when my boss pulled me into his office, I kind of knew.
18:23
Like I didn't know until I walked in.
18:25
I saw this woman on a screen and HR thing and they go through
18:28
their process and then my boss is just like, I'm so sorry.
18:32
And I'm like, hey, it's OK. I mean, like, you know what, it
18:34
didn't work out. We, we did everything we could.
18:37
This is a completely big shift for me to learn a whole
18:41
different genre business and understanding the complexities
18:46
of it. I honestly, I was just like,
18:48
yeah, he's like, what could have been better for that one?
18:51
I said honestly, if you'd allowed me to do what you guys
18:54
told me that every single broker is looking for a network.
18:58
I already have one, but you guys were like, these are the metrics
19:02
every fucking week. These are the metrics every
19:05
month. I'm like, yeah, let me hit
19:06
those. Let me get the the appointments,
19:08
let me go out and do what I do. No, we need you in the office or
19:12
we just need you to stop by random businesses and cold drop
19:14
in like you don't understand. I can get U.S. business.
19:18
Just let me build these friendships first and then they
19:21
can start asking about what I do.
19:22
Nope. You got to tell them right away
19:24
what you do. So it was this very backwards
19:26
way of feeling where I'd focus so much on relationships and it
19:29
put me in a different spot. So but I was OK, I was upset
19:34
when I got to my car. The only reason why And I'm like
19:37
I'm going to have to tell my poor wife I just lost my job
19:40
again and she would be really upset.
19:43
That's the hardest conversation. That's harder than having the
19:46
conversation with the company going, hey, we're letting you
19:49
go. Yeah, you're like, all right.
19:50
It's like, oh, OK. I mean, whatever.
19:52
You can usually see a reasoning or something be in there,
19:55
whether or not you agree with it.
19:57
You can at least. It is what it is.
19:58
Yeah. And you can't control that.
20:00
It's out of your control, Yeah. But it's that conversation of
20:03
like, fuck, I got to go tell them.
20:04
It's like I failed again. I don't have this.
20:07
I lost this. Now it's going to add this
20:09
stress in and like, yeah, it's never fun to have that
20:12
conversation. It's but, but it was momentary
20:15
because this time I go, OK, but what are, what are the things
20:20
that are good that came out of this?
20:21
And that's what I told my boss. And I was like, well, there's a
20:23
lot of good that came out of this.
20:24
And he was what? And I'm like, well, I got a
20:25
license in the brokerage world. I learned a completely new way
20:30
of selling, which is cool to give to other people.
20:34
My wife's like don't do technical sales anymore.
20:36
I said, oh, way ahead of you, way ahead of you.
20:38
I don't technical meaning this complex, this is extremely
20:44
complex sale. There are so many different
20:47
avenues that you could go down. It's not the same as SAS.
20:51
It's not the same as marketing. It's not the same as selling a
20:55
physical product. You are selling the livelihood
20:59
of people and you're trying to figure out every individual and
21:03
how it's going to affect them. Can you create a plan that's
21:06
going to help them out or are you just creating a plan to give
21:10
you the most Commission? Typical brokers are going for
21:12
the ones that make the most Commission.
21:14
I mean, brokers make a fuck ton of money.
21:16
Like some of the brokers in my office.
21:18
High 6 figures, high 6 figures. And you'd think that all they do
21:22
is golf, but they're really focused on it.
21:25
And it's, it's the thing that I didn't enjoy about it is that
21:28
it's never good enough. It's never good enough.
21:32
You're never going to be good enough because you're always
21:35
chasing your tail. Always.
21:38
It's a non-stop roller coaster of anxiety.
21:43
And I don't like that I. Didn't I didn't like it dude my
21:45
friend who's there I won't say their name but they're done too
21:49
like after I left they're like yeah this place sucks because
21:53
insurance world is boring as shit it's really fucking boring
21:57
but some people love that boring and I think that's great you
22:00
need you there but. I will say guys, this strain we
22:06
have only done the one day before.
22:08
We even started. I am I'll tell you this one.
22:11
It's not my favorite strain. It's OK.
22:14
I could handle this with combos. I could combine it with a I'm
22:20
wanting more of an indica feel. I it's in and in between for me.
22:26
I still feel very clear headed but my body feels tense from
22:30
like kind of. Yeah, my shoulders feel a
22:32
little. Tense.
22:32
My arms feel tense. One thing that's crazy, though,
22:35
My foot has not been going nuts. Yeah, not once.
22:38
So it's relaxed in the body in some fashions, but slightly
22:42
tense in others. Yeah.
22:43
I wondered if my shoulder is well, this shoulder's been tight
22:46
for months. Now, like my neck's not feeling
22:48
as tight anymore, but man, it was really hurting there.
22:50
I'd put balm on it right as you got here, so.
22:53
A little extra help. Yeah, my neck was like after
22:56
sleeping, it woke up and. Like it's a good strain.
22:59
I think it'd be great for combining with others, or I
23:02
think that in flour it would be more sedative.
23:05
Ooh I would love to try this in flour.
23:08
Yeah, I think the flavors would be pretty amazing.
23:11
I think it would be really good looking.
23:13
It'll have that blue hue. I know that from blue Pluto.
23:17
I mean from Pluto. That'd be fantastic though if we
23:20
could get that in flower. Smell it though, it has some
23:23
sweet notes. Not a lot of gassy I was getting
23:25
but like. Which is crazy because like when
23:27
you heat it up, you get Piney notes right away.
23:29
Yeah, it's a very subtle. Yeah, but it was, it was a good
23:34
smell, just nothing that I was no particular note that jumped
23:39
out. Yeah, I tend to feel like the
23:41
nose, nose like my more hoppy, my more skunky strains.
23:46
I feel like I'm going to get a lot of what I'm looking for
23:50
because they typically those tell me that's a good time,
23:54
That's a good time, right? Your sweeter ones are more of
23:57
like for me. I feel like daytimes.
23:59
Yeah, little hybrid ones, They're they're always sweet.
24:01
They're candy. Yeah, but I mean, it's, it's not
24:04
overpowering and it may have some analgesic effects, like if
24:07
you've got pain or maybe a headache, but I wouldn't use
24:11
this one for headaches. I wouldn't use this.
24:13
I I think this would be, I love it for the mental state of like
24:17
going, hey, like this would be a good meditative strain where you
24:21
could just kind of focus on that because you, you can slow down
24:25
on it. Your brain slows down quite a
24:27
bit on it and the thought processes slow down quite a bit.
24:30
So again, for me, I like it alone, maybe not so much, but
24:35
I'd like to combine it with like an indica, like black amber or
24:40
anything like that. Just kind of a just chill
24:42
relaxing strain just to add a little extra to it.
24:45
But I tend to do that anyways. Like my wife will come to me
24:47
saying I need to feel this right now.
24:49
And I'm like, OK, so I'm over there playing Doctor Dab and I'm
24:52
like a little bit of this. Yeah, you're saying if you're
24:54
dabbing, you like to do a lot more of blendings now?
24:57
Because I'll look at the strain. I'm like, Oh well, you know
25:01
what, I kind of want some of this trait.
25:03
Like if I want the calming effect, but I don't want to go
25:06
to sleep, I'll add in some sativa just a little bit.
25:10
Sometimes I go too much and you. Go.
25:13
That second one fell right in my face.
25:16
Oh. No, no, I can't do that because
25:19
it squeezed the shit out of the talk about my neck, but I don't
25:22
know. I I like this and and you guys
25:25
should check it out. Good for racing.
25:27
Yeah, it's good for racing, but it's also good for introspection
25:30
and focus. Yeah, it.
25:32
Might be good for like a book if you were to sit down and read a
25:34
book. We could totally read a book on
25:35
this if you need to focus on something stationary.
25:39
I was watching a video and it was talking about the education
25:43
level, people in school and just humanity now the reading
25:46
comprehension level. That's what it was.
25:47
Oh, it's insanely low. And they were talking about even
25:50
students in Cambridge that were there, and they're like, oh,
25:53
it's typical for professors or like the assignment to be, hey,
25:56
you're reading a book a week. And the student was like, I've
25:59
never had to do that. I've never read a book.
26:01
I've never read an entire book. Like what the fuck?
26:04
How have you never read an entire book?
26:05
You're in college. You got that far without ever
26:08
reading an entire book. Well, you think about it and you
26:11
don't. We don't have where I remember
26:13
when I was researching for papers in college, I had to go
26:16
to the library. Really.
26:18
Like, I actually go to the library.
26:19
And this is when I was 31. This is fucking eight years ago.
26:24
No longer than you. It's like 8.
26:26
No, that's a long time ago. I was like I've been Googling
26:28
stuff for ages. No, it's like 18 years ago.
26:31
But The thing is I mean you can Google but you couldn't get all
26:34
the information plus the same. As library.
26:36
The only thing at that time was the only credible sources that
26:39
you could put on thereifitsaid.com or a.gov for
26:43
statisticalstuffifyouput.org or anything like that.
26:47
Incredible source. And then everybody used to go to
26:49
Wikipedia back. Then so weird like it was the
26:53
what is the URL ending is the credibility.
26:57
Well, because it did. It makes a lot of sense on that
27:00
because. A lot back then.
27:01
Well, yeah, becauseof.com and it's still seen that way now.
27:05
Like within the search worldisthat.com is one of the
27:09
it's the top because it's one of the oldest, it's the easiest to
27:13
understand, plus it's the most credible.
27:15
Like they know that it's a credible site and it can be, but
27:19
the other ones are like full of ads and stuff like that and
27:22
you're like, who the fuck is making money off of this thing?
27:25
But. Gotta love those.
27:27
But I don't know, man, it's, it's exactly that what you're
27:29
talking about, the comprehension level.
27:31
Like I actually saw something on that.
27:33
This is last week I was going to talk to you about.
27:34
It's crazy. Oh, but it was going into the
27:38
whole purpose of that one was because back in the 1800s they
27:41
were teaching phonic style reading.
27:44
So it would be sounding out the phonetics of the words and
27:46
trying to understand the bases and that.
27:48
And then later they introduced what was called like whole word
27:52
learning. So it was more of like they
27:54
figured that a kid could learn, could learn better reading if
27:59
they were to just gather the context as a whole without
28:02
having to go phonetically through each word and understand
28:05
the word and that. And that has actually supposedly
28:08
played a part in our bringing down the reading level and
28:11
comprehension level of people over time to where now we have a
28:16
lot less reading comprehension level where people aren't
28:19
reading at their grade levels and people aren't.
28:21
Well, they listen. They listen more than they they
28:24
read like you ask people like I listen to books, but I also read
28:27
books. But even then, I think listening
28:30
it's the book levels 'cause it was like, OK, the book 1984,
28:34
most of our country wouldn't actually be able to read and
28:37
comprehend it because of the words used.
28:39
And it was going through a bunch of other books and it was like
28:41
this one that's just a high school level.
28:44
Most of our country couldn't read it or comprehend it because
28:46
of where it's at. It's above their reading level.
28:48
And I'm like, that's really sad that these base level books that
28:51
I've, you know, I don't think as being this really high reading
28:55
level, a lot of our country can't even comprehend.
28:58
No, and that's sad. And well, and you got to look at
29:01
the amount of trash content that's being written too.
29:07
Oh yeah, because you've got, I mean, genres are genres.
29:10
But then you can tell, like one of my wife's favorite ones was
29:15
young adult fiction, right? And she liked a lot of that one.
29:18
But now they're all the same. It's the same feel, same flow,
29:23
same type of story arcs, same type of characters, just in
29:26
different time settings or fantasy areas.
29:29
Because even the writers are lazy enough they can't write
29:34
something new. They're like, well, what's
29:36
trending I. Like older books, I like going
29:41
back to older times and older things more.
29:44
Structured. Yeah, Better and.
29:45
There's more thought and depth and you're like flow makes you
29:49
think more and you're like, oh wow, that's a.
29:51
Yeah, reading modern books is kind of weird because they jump
29:53
all over the place. They're fine.
29:55
There are some that I've like, oh OK, that was that was crazy
29:58
or that's a wild story or shit like, but most of them I'm not
30:01
trying to read the fantasy side. I have done some though.
30:04
I read, I read Dune, I read ACOTAR which is the Court of
30:10
Thorns and Roses. I read the first two in that
30:13
series. I just had listened to 4th Wing,
30:17
the very first one of that one. Just, I don't know, there's a
30:20
lot of time and I have found that I'm trying not to listen to
30:24
as much music as often. I still love music and I listen
30:27
to it all the time, but I'm trying to incorporate more books
30:29
and that. So yeah, when I go out dashing
30:32
in that and I'm like, Oh well, listen to a book, go to that and
30:34
so. I just finished the book,
30:36
looking for another one. I've gotten to the point where
30:38
music isn't this is interesting. It's sometimes I'm just like,
30:41
you know, if I'm at the gym, yeah, listening to the book is
30:44
probably not the best for me unless I'm really into the book.
30:47
But even then, I'm like, you know, if I'm driving or
30:50
something like that, It doesn't always need to be just the same
30:53
songs that I like to listen to because I like the songs.
30:56
Like now I've been in and it just goes that way, dude.
30:59
Like I used to be really into my Switch.
31:01
Now I don't play my Switch. It used to be my PlayStation.
31:03
I play it every once in a while now.
31:05
I'm like looking for other things.
31:07
I'm, I'm constantly in search of a new idea of to learn something
31:12
that's and not necessarily to say, look at me, I'm fucking
31:14
learn it. It's just like, I want to learn
31:16
something. And that's the thing that I
31:17
don't see with a lot of younger people today is the desire to
31:20
learn anything. Yeah.
31:22
I wonder if it's how our education is structured.
31:24
Well, actually, let me ask you first.
31:27
Did you like learning growing up as a kid?
31:29
No, I didn't either as an adult. And I actually, it was funny.
31:33
I had an interview the other day yesterday and I was talking to
31:36
the lady and I was like, you know, growing up, I actually
31:38
hated school. And I didn't think that I wanted
31:41
to go into higher education, continue learning because after
31:44
I graduated, it was like I'm done.
31:46
And then the further I've gotten, I realized I truly love
31:50
learning. It was just the way I was
31:53
learning. I didn't enjoy and maybe the
31:55
things that I was required to learn that we're not necessarily
31:58
always in my wheelhouse of like this matters or will ever bring
32:01
value into my life where I love historical things, I love
32:05
science, I love interesting facts, I love shit like that.
32:08
I don't necessarily need to know what sqrt π times by 6 divided
32:12
by like XY squared. None of that shit is relevant in
32:16
my life. I can do basic math and
32:18
everything all I need to, but there's other things where I'm
32:21
like, I've just learned that I love learning and it I think
32:24
maybe it's just kids would love learning if it was things they
32:28
were really interested in. I agree with you the way I'll
32:31
push back on that though, it's a two way St.
32:34
You have to have a base level of.
32:35
Well, no, but the teachers need to be excited about learning.
32:38
But the only way teachers are going to be excited about
32:40
learning is that the kids are excited about learning.
32:42
And you? Yeah.
32:44
But how do you get the kids excited about?
32:45
Learning. Well, that's the thing.
32:46
Not everything has to have a candy coated shell.
32:49
No, you know, it's 100%. You need to have a desire to do
32:52
something other than just I didn't.
32:54
Whatever makes me feel good. Candy coated shells so.
32:57
No, I do. You definitely didn't.
32:59
You got. Thrust.
33:00
Totally understand that, but I'm.
33:01
Saying like, you know, there's. Some level of.
33:03
Well, it's, it's what I I loved about college is what I realized
33:07
about education was I love to learn and I wanted to learn how
33:11
to learn because what college taught me wasn't the classes I
33:15
took, It was the ability to be able to.
33:17
Learn maybe that is what we don't teach well, and that
33:19
should be the very first thing learn to learn kids is how to
33:22
learn how to study, how to like retain information or like
33:26
whatever it is that they teach in those things going yeah,
33:28
let's let's start you here so that when we start teaching all
33:32
this other shit, you understand how to imply that or like take
33:36
that into your life and and make sense of that moving forward
33:39
versus like just having it dumped into him going, ah, you
33:42
need this and this and this and this and this and they're like
33:44
what the fuck why, why, why, why do I need.
33:46
This you know what this sounds like it's going into a sesh.
33:48
So let's see that one guys. We'll catch you next Tuesday.
33:52
Pay attention to the sesh coming out on Thursday.
