his week on Thoughts Off The Stem Justin and Tyler are back with another epic Sesh! This weeks sesh focused on balance in smoking experiences as well as life and the paralell that connects the two. We light up a variety of strains through out the sesh, which, of course takes our discussion down a winding road of hillarity. Amazingly we were able to review a wide variety of strains while slipping in stories about pet gorillas, societal interactions, fanny packs, and some how, relating it all...

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem, I'm solo. Tyler couldn't make it this week, it's all good though. He'll be back next week. So this week is a bit of catch up. It's also quite the brain fart. I had an idea but i got high. I was trying to talk about the differences in generations and their work ethic, as well as their thought process and beliefs about what work really is. Ultimately i'm pretty sure I sounded like a grumpy old man who can't change with the times. There is some good...

Seshisode 134 This week on Thoughts Off The Stem... Justin and Tyler are sampling the Guava Lime Go-Time Thcv 510 vape cart from ShredX. While discussing what makes a good Budtender/Employee. The cannabis industry in Canada is still in it's infancy. It is our opinion that as Budtenders we have an obligation to represent cannabis in a more professional way. We really try to impart the idea that, even though the environment we have cultivated is relaxed and laid back. We are the educators of...

Seshisode 133 This week on Thoughts Off The Stem Tyler and I are back, talking about our top 5 stoner movies. Reviewing a brand new, 3 gram, diamond infused blunt from Kronic and doing a few flips of the Stundenglass. To start the show we're smoking Cherry AK live resin from Terra Labs. This is one of Tyler's favourites. It's an amazing hybrid with a calm, relaxing vibe and a smooth, light flavor. We got our hands on a brand new blunt! Well brand new to us. We decided this sesh would be...

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem we're talking about the fact that the Ontario Cannabis Store has a 500 million dollar stock pile of cash. What's concerning about this is, that when marijuana was legalized for recreational consumption, part of the deal was that in Ontario the OCS would give back a portion to the government in order to help fund government and city services in Ontario. Meaning that there could be an influx of cash injected into Ontarios economic infrastructure, education...

This week on Thoughts Off The Ste, I got glasses. That's right! It's official I'm old. For those that don't need glasses. You really don't know what you can't see until you can see. I know someone can relate to this. Now that I can see clearly. Lets talk about what makes a good producer. It isn't about who's got the best font or most noticeable packaging. It's not about how much shelf space you can get. Definitely don't dress it up with gimmicks. We're potheads, not dummies. We'll...

Seshisode 130 This week on Thoughts Off The Stem, Tyler and I continue testing the THCV pre rolls, keep taking turns flipping the Stundenglass and we try out a new product. The Pulsar DL 510 vape battery that looks like a Pipe. Between tokes and clouds we talk about the origin of humanity, how the earth was potentially populated and what the big bang may have really been. University was an awesome time and it really does allow people to explore their sexuality, personality and ambitions....

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem we try out smokeable THCV. We've tried it in gummies and it gave us the giggles. So we're super excited to try out the Trailblazers THCV pre rolls. Buckle up, it's quite the ride. Reviewing THCV in these pre rolls took us through a wide variety of topics. I don't know if you'll laugh, but we sure did. Our far reaching discussion covers people with high IQ's born in to bad circumstance and how that effects their ability to be highly successful. Whether or...

Seshisode 128 This week on Thoughts Off The Stem you get to experience the Justin and the Tyler in all their stoned glory.  We had shot this right after another seshisode so it's basically a double sesh! We had big plans for this sesh but alot of concentrates in a short amount of time put us in a completely different direction.  The one thing I can say is that you get a real solid understanding of how budtenders really view their interactions with customers.  It's basically a window behind...

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem we're starting the show off with more flips of the Stundenglass and a dab of Alaskan TF by Vortex. Apparently the relaxation and clearity of this concentrate motivated me to start strong with a rant about age gates, IDing customers and the attitudes of men in my generation and older. Honestly they whine like babies over having to produce a piece of plastic upon entry to the shop. Even thought it's the law they still pick fights with college kids who are...

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem we're having a proper sesh! It's been a while since our last sesh and Tyler and I are going all in with concentrates and a hash infused home roll, that Tyler brought over. You may have also noticed the new intro. Again, a big THANK YOU goes out to Tyler for hooking me up. Since this is the first sesh of the new year, I decided we needed to try out a few concentrates I was able to get my hands on. We're starting the podcast off with a few flips of the...

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem. I bought a puppy for the kids for Christmas. I know it's a little early but you know when things just work out and it seems like fate? Well that was kinda the deal with this. I'd been looking for a dog since the spring and dealt with a few scammers. Took a break from looking then a couple weeks a go the kids started pouring on "we want a puppy" talk. So I started looking again and lucked out. Now we're the proud owners of an American Bully...

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem, Tyler joins me again for another one of our super awesome cloud filled seshisodes. Starting off the show with some CBG drinks and a hit of Msiku's Frozen Lemons in the Stundenglass we cover a few different topics but mostly spend the time remembering what we were talking about and having all the laughs possible. Tyler cleared the air from a previous sesh and clarified what he forgot he was going to say on the sesh with Ewa and Nathan. He also wanted to...

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem I'm talking about quitting smoking cigarettes. I have tried for years to stop smoking. The last couple months I actually have a handle on it and haven't had a cigarette in over 40 days now. In this sesh I detail what it was like to quit, how I prepared to quit, some tips I used to quit cigarettes and some of the tools I used to prepare myself for success. When you're quitting smoking cigarettes, although it's a physical addiction you must prepare mentally...

This weeks Thoughts Off The Stem are infused with Nugz Pheno Hunter Pixie Stikz a 27% THC Sativa. For the Prer-Roll I'm smoking the Recliner, Movie Night hash infused blunt, a 29% THC hybrid. These were supposed to help me focus. They did not. They basically turned me into one giant brain fart for the show.Since I was all on my high horse about road rage last Sesh. It got me thinking about all the times us dudes get all agro and like to profess our our ability to kick butt and fight man...

This weeks thoughts off the stem are infused with a bong hit full of 5 Loco from General Admission and Snoop Dogg's Lodi Dodi OG Blunt. I think I said the blunt was a sativa during the sesh it is not it's a Hybrid Leaning Indica. The 5 Loco is actually an infused pre-roll I disassembled and put in the bong. It was super tasty and great hit to start the show. Let's discuss the city planners of Guelph and their inability to schedule construction and road maintenance without pushing a city into...

This weeks Thoughts Off The Stem, infused with a few shots of 1800 Agave Tequila and Pheno Hunter Pixie Sticks, a 27% thc Sativa by Nugz for the pre-roll and bowl.  I'm also trying out a new toy!  The Divinci Artiq. A vape battery that conceals your cartridge in the casing.  That way they never know what your smoking. Did you know marijuana makes you gay?  Yup there's a resurgence of this backwards way of thinking.  Granted alot of cannabis accessories are fallic in design,  tasting the...

This week's thoughts off the stem are inspired by mystery weed. It's a home grown sample I was given by a co-worker. It was surprisingly nice. I have no idea what the thc content was. Maybe low 20's. It might have been an indica, but it definitely hyped me up so maybe hybrid? I'm not sure. I can tell you it was a nice dense nug that had a sweeter flavour. It was trimmed well and smoked smooth. I ended up smoking that in the bong, the whole episode. A side from home grown I'm also...

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem I'm opening the show with a hit of Nugz Pheno Hunter a sativa at 27.5% thc, with a terp profile of 2.3%. This weeks thoughts revolve around an instagram post I found. A wife was upset because she caught her man taking care of himself to a video that involved cake farts and twerking. She took her anger out on the content creator, The question I have is, shouldn't she be taking out her anger on her partner? I get you're upset, but really does the content...

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem, I have a new toy! The Stundenglass! Guess what I'm doing? That's right podcasting while attempting as many flips as possible, while reviewing a variety of concentrates. Starting off the show with Msiku's Frozen Lemons shatter. Moving on to Nugz Terple Hash Rosin, mixed with a little Galactic Runtz by Tribal, and finally rounded out with a Cold Cured Rosin by Astro Labs. While we flip the stundenglass and review these concentrates, lets discuss the...

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem we're smoking Sour OG by Broken Coast and amazing sativa, coming in at 22%. Lets talk about the AGCO and the regulations that retail cannabis stores need to follow in order to stay compliant. It all starts with an ID check at the door and you'd be surprised at how many middle aged men think they don't apply to the rules. It's really just an undeserved sense of self importance really. Age gates suck, we get it. We don't want it to be there either but we...

This sesh we are going intergalactic. Lets talk about the alien mummies they found down in Mexico, while I flip this stunden glass full of galactic runtz and Terple by Tribal and Nugz. These are both intense and delicious concentrates. When you add them together you get a whole different view of the world. It's kinda like being shot in to outer space. So with that in mind I figured it would be fun to talk about the Aliens found in Mexico. Keep in mind they are over 1000 years old and...

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem. I'm smoking some Cookie Cake by Green Seal. The pre-roll is Cherry AK by 1964 and a couple mini blunts by BoonDocks. I hope you're ready for some awesome! It's been a while since I've been around, so let me catch you up. I ate edibles with my mom, while out west. It was awesome. If you get the opportunity, I highly recommend getting high with your mom. As a man, a dad and the go to guy for all things responsible. I learned my lesson in August about...

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem we are joined by Tyler and we are finishing out explaining our Kind experience. This sesh we smoked a couple new things that came to the shop on our last order. A new infused pre roll by Carmel, who we saw at the Kind summer fair. We sipped on some Mollo 10 beer flavoured beverages. Near the end of the sesh we break out a new kind of Mollo 10 as well. Their new Cider. which was not from the Kind summer fair, but in our last delivery. While we work...
