This week weāre rolling intoĀ Papaya Cake, a Colorado-grown indica-leaning hybrid that blendsĀ Papaya x Wedding Cake x White OGĀ genetics. This strain brings a sweet, tropical nose with smooth, floral undertones ā one of the most fragrant jars weāve cracked open in a while.

Feels like a mental āweighted blanketā: soothing without sedation

Welcome back toĀ The SeshĀ ā where conversations go sideways, strains spark stories, and nothing is off-limits.
This week, Brandon and Jesse light up some Papaya Cake (easily a top 5 strain in our book) and dive straight into one of those chatty highs where everything feels worth unpacking. From fake pee hacks for drug tests (yep, with a 25% off code just for our listeners) to run-ins with cops, car accidents mid-Zoom call, and why money doesnāt define you ā itās all on the table.
We talk about the ego as armor, letting people cut in on the freeway as a metaphor for life, and why human connection is worth more than any shiny label or paycheck. Itās raw, itās funny, and it gets unexpectedly deep in the wayĀ The Seshalways does.
So spark up, lean back, and letās get into it.
šØ Strain of the Week:Ā Papaya CakeĀ ā a chatty, uplifting hybrid that keeps the conversation rolling.

This week weāre cracking intoĀ Z-O-D, a powerful live resin sugar from Moxie. Built from the genetics of Viper City and Kryptonite, this indica-leaning concentrate delivers a clean, flavorful dab that shows why Moxie has earned its reputation for quality.
Z-O-D hits with a skunky, berry-diesel aroma layered with sour undertones and a smooth finish that doesnāt bring the harsh cough some concentrates do. The terpene profile is led by β-caryophyllene, with supporting notes ofĀ limoneneĀ andĀ linalool, giving it that mix of earthy spice, citrus brightness, and a subtle floral calm. At around 82% THC with additional cannabinoids like CBG and CBD, itās a balanced heavy-hitter that leaves you relaxed yet mentally awake.
We found Z-O-D to be surprisingly versatile: a āmental health dayā kind of strain that can help you unwind without shutting you down. Great for creative work, a late-night hike under the moon, or even a focused gym sessionāitās fuel for both the body and the brain.
You can findĀ Z-O-D by MoxieĀ atĀ Beehive FarmacyĀ in Utah.

What happens when the edibles hit harder than expected? From mistaking a ceiling fan for a UFO to showing up at Home Depot just to get unsolicited grow advice, this Sesh is all about the hilarious (and sometimes horrifying) stories of beingĀ wayĀ too high. Brandon and Jesse trade Reddit tales and personal slip-ups that prove everyoneās had that moment where reality gets a little⦠blurry.
Takeaways:
The edible delay is real ā sometimes shower water feels like salvation until you remember why youāre thirsty.
Munchies can escalate quickly: one minute youāre after a phone charger, the next youāve got a full pizza and chocolate milk.
Overdosing on a 1,000mg cookie? Not recommended. Ever.
Pets, parents, and delivery guys all become part of the comedy when youāre flying too close to the sun.
Everyoneās got a ātoo highā story ā the real fun is swapping them.

When a strain comes in hot from our friends atĀ San Juan Squish Co., you know itās worth talking about. This week, weāre cracking open someĀ Voodoo BurgerĀ ā a concentrate thatās equal parts smooth, peppery, and sneaky in its effects.
How Do I pass my drug test? save 25% with code cannabisschool25 at Synthetix5
Strain Breakdown:
Type:Ā Hybrid concentrate (live rosin batter)
THC:Ā ~75%
CBG:Ā ~5% (rare and worth noting)
Genetics:Ā Lineage not disclosed by grower ā crafted for concentrate form rather than classic flower breakdown
Terpenes:
LimoneneĀ (bright citrus uplift)
β-Caryophyllene (peppery spice, body balance)
α-Pinene & β-Myrcene (minor notes for focus and calm)
Flavor & Effects:
Flavor: Pepper-forward, with coffee-like undertones and a kick in the throat that makes you cough (in the best way).
Effects: Calm, happy, and productive ā hits the head first, then eases into a relaxed but clear state. A great starter concentrate for beginners thanks to its balance of CBG + THC.
Onset: Slower than flower, builds gently like a tide instead of a knockout punch.
Best For:
Midday focus without fog
Creative sessions or light productivity (even mowing the lawn feels good on this one)
Microdosing before work or keeping the vibe steady without getting glued to the couch
š Whether youāre new to concentrates or a seasoned dabber,Ā Voodoo BurgerĀ shows how the right mix of terps and cannabinoids can deliver a smooth, flavorful ride.

Frank shows up for a raw, real, and unfiltered sesh ā heavy on the laughs, heavy on the honesty. Dabbing live resin (Super Lemon Haze by Moxie) sets the tone for a conversation about addiction, recovery, and how the plant can walk you back home.
Takeaways:
Cannabis as a tool for clarity, healing, and reflection
How mixing humor with honesty can ease the toughest talks
Why Super Lemon Haze hits like a sigh of relief after chaos
Full Notes:
We set the vibe withĀ Moxieās Super Lemon Haze live resin badderĀ ā zesty citrus rip, high-THC punch (~57%), and the kind of energy you donāt just talk throughāyou feel it. Live resin badder is sticky focus fuel at low temps.Ā
Then Frank ā tosses out stories from addictionās edge, the sharp pivot to recovery, and how, in the quiet place between topics, the right dab can help you peel your walls back. Itās manic, itās reflective, and itās exactly our lane. This isnāt a lecture; itās a crank-up-the-volume healingāwhere gravity, green, and truth collide.

Why does one plant smell like citrus while another reeks of pine, spice, or straight-up funk? Itās all thanks toĀ terpenesā the aromatic compounds that donāt just shape the smell and taste, but actually steer the whole experience.
In this episode, Brandon and Jesse break down the most common terps youāll run into, what they do, and why chasing terps might be smarter than chasing THC:
šĀ LimoneneĀ ā zesty citrus vibes, known for lifting mood and calming stress
šæĀ MyrceneĀ ā earthy and herbal, often linked to relaxing, couch-lock effects
š²Ā PineneĀ ā smells like a pine forest, thought to boost focus and open up airflow
šøĀ LinaloolĀ ā floral lavender notes, often used for relaxation and easing anxiety
š§Ā CaryophylleneĀ ā spicy and peppery, unique for binding to CB2 receptors and soothing inflammation
Youāll also hear about:
How terpenes + cannabinoids create the entourage effect
Why your spice rack and garden are full of the same compounds shaping your high
How to pick strains based on terp profiles instead of just THC %
Whether youāre hunting for pain relief, creative sparks, or just a better-tasting sesh, understanding terps gives you the cheat code to tailor your experience.

Meet Grapes n Cream ā a balanced hybrid lovechild ofĀ Grape PieĀ (Grape Stomper Ć Cherry Pie) andĀ Cookies & CreamĀ (Girl Scout Cookies Ć Starfighter). This oneās grown to impress: dense buds, gorgeous purple flecks, and an aroma thatāll make you double-take the jar.

Sweet grapes up front, creamy vanilla in the middle, and a soft berry finish. Earthiness is faint ā just enough to ground it without tasting like youāre hitting potting soil.
Cannabinoids & Potency

TerpenesĀ (dominant first)
CaryophylleneĀ ā spicy/peppery notes, potential anti-inflammatory
LimoneneĀ ā citrus lift, mood boost
MyrceneĀ ā earthy/fruity, relaxation
Effects & Experience
First puff: a heady rush that sits right behind the eyes and along the jawline. The mental space? Clear but softened ā perfect for conversation, creative work, or winding down without total couch lock. As it settles, the body relaxes while your mind stays present. Possible sidekick effects: cottonmouth and snack raids.

Stress and anxiety
Mild depression
Nausea relief
Light inflammation
Social hangouts where you still want your words to come out in the right order
Growing Grapes n Cream
Difficulty: Moderate ā thrives with some TLC and training
Indoor flowering: ~8ā9 weeks

This week we cracked open some Red Pop. A sticky hybrid with a sweet skunky nose and a terp profile that reads like a botanical cocktail menu. Grown by Dragonfly Wellness, this flower had one of us ready to go chop wood⦠and the other questioning reality from the couch.
Whatās Inside This Strain?
Red Pop (this version) is a hybrid leaning indica, clocking in at a boldĀ 28.4% THCĀ with a wild mix of cannabinoids:
⢠THC-A, Delta-9 THC, CBD-A, CBC, CBG-A
⢠And a terpene list longer than your last text from mom:
Limonene, Pinene, Beta-Caryophyllene, Linalool, Humulene, Terpinolene, Camphene, Eucalyptol, and more.
Lineage:
Strawberry x Cookies & Cream x Pave
(Some genetics list Afghani instead. Which oneās your Red Pop?)
Flavor + Effects:
⢠Sweet, creamy strawberry vibes with a skunky twist
⢠Very cerebral for one of us, heavy and heady for the other
⢠One co-host got chill and chatty. The other felt a creeping vortex in his chest
⢠Could bring focus and mood elevation or anxiety and pressure if youāre sensitive to pinenes
Notable Use Cases:
⢠Mood lift
⢠Light body relaxation
⢠Midday boost (for some)
⢠Anxiety relief (or trigger ā test your tolerance)
Would We Smoke It Again?

This week, weāre breaking down the true cost of cannabisāfrom the price per ounce to the price of setting up your own grow. Whether youāre shopping at a dispensary, dealing with your plug, or thinking about opening a grow op, the numbers might shock you. We compare cannabis pricing across the U.S., discuss the impact of oversupply, dive into operating costs, and challenge whether lower prices really mean better value. Spoiler: that $600 pound might not be the deal you think it is.
š Key Topics Covered:
Dispensary vs Plug: cost, quality, and consistency
Wild price drops in states like California and Michigan
Why East Coast markets are still paying $300+ per ounce
Dragonfly as a case study: pricing, transparency, and trust
Breakdown of commercial grow costsāfrom 500 sq ft ops to home grows
Cannabis extraction: equipment costs, product types, and market demand
Black/gray markets: oversupply and interstate effects
Waste in dispensaries and how some states give back to vets
Regulatory impacts on pricing, especially in Utah
Why ācheaperā weed might cost you more in the long run
The case for cannabis brands and product consistency
MSOs vs craft grows: scale, quality control, and consumer choice
Why educating consumers could shift the entire market
š¬ Favorite Quotes:
š± Takeaway:
Understanding cannabis pricing means looking beyond the price tag. True cost includes grow operations, extraction, state regulation, and even consumer education. Sometimes you really do get what you pay forāand that cheap ounce might be a hamster-powered engine.
āThat ounce you paid $100 for might drive like a ā65 pickup with a torn speakerāsounds cool but barely gets you there.āāYouāre not buying potato chips. Youāre buying a cannabis experience.āāWould you rather smoke an ounce of gas station boof or take one puff of Lamborghini weed?ā

Tropical Runtz: Sweet, Sticky, and Just a Little Unpredictable
This week onĀ The Sesh, we cracked open a fresh jar ofĀ Tropical RuntzĀ ā a sticky indoor-grown hybrid thatās basically a fruity love child ofĀ RuntsĀ andĀ Tropical Truffle. If that sounds delicious, it is. If it sounds like it hits hard, well⦠clear your afternoon.
We didnāt stop at flower. We gave it a proper test drive in theĀ Verb dry herb vaporizer by RiotĀ ā shoutout to Riot and Santa Cruz Shredder for keeping our gear game strong. Smooth grinders, slick rolling trays, and joint tubes youāll actually want to show off? Yes please.
Flavor & Smell:
Think sweet citrus, dried fruit, and a deep, aromatic swirl that sits somewhere between tropical punch and fancy incense. Not skunky, not earthy ā just bright, sticky, and surprisingly smooth.
Terpenes:
Myrcene:Ā sets the mellow baseline
Limonene:Ā lifts you up with zesty citrus vibes
Linalool:Ā sneaks in a floral calm
How It Hits:
The head high shows up early ā youāll feel it tickle your forehead before sliding into a clear, talkative buzz. Expect random giggles, deep thoughts, and maybe a sudden interest in reorganizing your living room. Pro tip: hydrate before you hit it ā trust us.
The Gear:
We tested the Verb by Riot and put it through its paces. Sleek rubberized body, wide bowl, and smart airflow design. A couple hiccups with missing filters (oops), but once dialed in, it hits like a dream. If youāre hunting a pocket-friendly dry herb vape, give it a look.
Final Word:
Tropical Runtz is one of those strains thatās equally chill and lively ā fruity enough for flavor chasers, potent enough for seasoned stoners. Whether you roll it, vape it, or spark it up the old-school way, youāre in for a bright, sticky ride.
Light it. Vape it. Let it take you somewhere tropical ā no passport required.
