Episode Description from the Publisher

This sesh starts with dispensaries, sticky flower, budtenders, and our plans for Cannabis School........and somehow ends with us examining our emotional baggage. You know, the usual.We talk about why cannabis is better as a shared experience, the difference between reacting and responding, and what happens when your intentions collide with somebody else’s perception. Sometimes the person in front of you isn’t the enemy. Sometimes you need to back the fuck up, look at the whole situation, and get curious about what is actually happening.We also get into:The good, bad, and frustrating parts of Utah dispensariesWhy knowledgeable budtenders make such a differenceSupporting more strain and product reviews through PatreonThe upcoming Cannabis School courses and student experienceOur completely necessary “Brandon the Medicine Man” gameCannabis as a tool for slowing down and becoming more presentMental-health medication, side effects, and our personal experiencesSleep, food, routines, therapy, and building better habitsUsing “detach” as a safe word when an argument gets heatedThe gap between perception and intentionLooking at yourself objectively without turning reflection into shameCarrying old trauma into new relationshipsNeil Strauss, The Truth, and the three-second ruleWhy curiosity can teach you more than judgment ever willThe big takeaway: you are the common factor everywhere you go. When something triggers a reaction, pause before deciding who is right or wrong. Step outside yourself, look at the situation from a wider perspective, and ask why you responded that way. You may not like every answer—but at least now you can do something with it.Thank you to everyone supporting Cannabis School on Patreon.
