Some episodes start with a plan.

This one absolutely did not.

In this episode of The Sesh, Brandon and Jesse light up a bowl of E85 and end up going everywhere. Money stress, bad jobs, business lessons, friendships, pain relief, and the strange way cannabis turns random conversations into meaningful ones.

Along the way they break down the strain they’re smoking, share a simple cannabis pain balm recipe, and get into a surprisingly deep conversation about trust, relationships, and why most successful businesses run on one thing: people.

Sometimes the best conversations are the ones you never planned to have.

And cannabis has a funny way of opening those doors.

Why it stood out in this episode:

E85 starts with a noticeable gassy kick but settles into a smooth, happy high that keeps the conversation flowing. It’s the kind of strain that doesn’t overpower the room but quietly elevates everything happening in it.

Perfect for long conversations and passing around a bowl with friends.
