Does Cannabis Give You Superpowers?

Ever feel like a few puffs turned you into a creative genius… then one more bowl sent you straight into “oh shit” territory? Yeah. We’ve been there.This week on Cannabis School, Jesse and Brandon explore those moments when cannabis makes you feel more focused, more present, and a little more like the superhero in your own movie. Jesse’s Tropicana Cherries story kicks things off with a twelve-page writing sprint—and a second bowl that took the experience in a very different direction.From there, we get into creativity, quieting the mental chaos, letting go of other people’s judgments, and finding joy without turning every damn hobby into work. There’s a giant bowl of Froot Loops analogy, a Ted Lasso moment, and enough gaming tangents to keep things interesting.The question underneath it all: does cannabis give us superpowers, or do we sometimes feel like we’re finally getting out of our own way?In this episode:Feeling locked in versus getting way too highCreativity, connection, and being presentJesse’s take on slowing down a brain full of ideasEgo, self-judgment, and learning without getting defensiveFinding joy in books, games, and everyday momentsPersonal experiences with strains, terpene profiles, and dry herb vaporizersChapters00:00 — Tropicana Cherries: superhero mode meets “oh shit”05:48 — Does cannabis actually give you superpowers?08:53 — Family conversations and cannabis stigma13:58 — Mental chaos, Froot Loops, and Quicksilver17:41 — Getting out of your head and into your life21:08 — Finding joy beyond money and possessions25:33 — Jesse’s experiences with terpenes and setting27:31 — Confidence, creativity, and needing approval31:41 — Hobbies, gaming, and letting fun stay fun35:16 — Judgment, Ted Lasso, and letting things go39:22 — Learning from others without an ego battle43:54 — Reflection, kindness, and everyday connection46:48 — Parenting, screens, and personal responsibility51:46 — A delivery disaster and accepting what you can’t control54:56 — Strain labels, personal preferences, and dosing58:39 — Dry herb vaporizers and the people around you Keep the conversation going: Have you ever had a cannabis experience that made you feel like a superhero—or humbled you real quick?
