This week on Thoughts Off The Stem we're talking about what everyone is talking about. P Diddy and his recent indictment. From freak off parties, to racketeering, to murder plots, to human trafficking. This dude is insane. Since this is pretty heavy and we like to keep things light around here we're dabbing up 1964's Orange Juice cured resin. For a little extra pop, we mixed in a bit of Terra Labs Cherry Ak resin. Lets just say it added a nice little energized kicked to the sesh. I gotta ask though, did we really not see this coming? I mean the dude has been marred in controversy since the beginning of his career. It's alleged that he put out a hit on his own artist, Biggie Smalls. Not to mention his possible involvement in the shooting of Tupac in New York at a recording studio. This guy has always done whatever he can to maintain power over the music industry. His label is called Bad Boy records. He named himself Puff Daddy, then P. Diddy, then shortened it to Diddy. Started throwing Freak Off parties where almost immediately there were low level rumblings of nefarious on goings. Yet celebs and high powered people attended these parties and worked with the man because of the money he was pulling in and the power he held. Maybe I am naive but it's appalling to me that, as rumblings of Diddy's behaviour started to reach the public, those in the know protected this predator. I don't understand how these powerful people just sweep these kinds of things under the rug. What does this say about the psyche of people seeking fame and fortune? Does it suggest that the morals of the famous go to the highest bidder? Hope you enjoy the sesh!

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem Justin and Tyler are trying out Blue Dream from Space Race, a 30% hybrid pre roll. As always they start the show with a hit from the Stundenglass, this week they had a little Live resin Orange Juice by 1964, an 83% sativa. This week Justin and Tyler are discussing TikTok culture and work ethic. Each generation is obviously different from the one before it. With the constant need for technological advancement, human interaction suffers. Social awareness declines and interpersonal skills seem to meet an end similar to that of the do-do bird. The mentality of young people has been pressed and adapted to changing technologies that suck the life out of engagement. Leading to a work force that thinks swipe culture actually applies in the real world. As great as technology is, it seems to be diminishing our ability to interact, thus creating a disconnect between reality and the virtual world. All that applies online does not necessarily add to a functioning individual in the real world. Many kids are coming into the work force with impatiently short attention spans. Lacking the ability to work through real world problems in real time and not being able to adapt to issues that need progressive problem solving skills. A lot of these green individuals lack the ability to form their own opinions, discern between fake or bad information and complete tasks on their own. If you are given a problem to solve then figure it out. Don't walk around asking everyones input about the problem you are facing. Learn to solve the problem and find the answer. Basically put in the work, that's how you make yourself valuable in the workforce. Hope you enjoy the sesh! Like, Subscribe, Share and visit Tots420.com

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem, we're talking about being an adult. The balance between maturity and fun. As we age we forget what it's like to be a kid. we fall in to our responsibilities and we loose sight of what's important. Sure i understand that we have to take care of our obligations and be leaders to our children. I don't necessarily believe that we have to do it in a stuffy and so called proper manner. I think that we can have fun and take care of business. However I find myself in a pretty consistent debate about my level of fun and silliness. I have been dating a lovely woman who is definitely to good for me. She is very proper and particular about how she conducts herself and what she expects of those around her. I'm an anomaly to her, I think. Where I'm 80% silly and childish. She's 80% serious and mature. She believes there is a time and place for everything. Often that means I have to stop making silly voices or acting like a child. Though I don't disagree, I do think that most adults try to stifle their silly. When I was a kid I would imagine what it would be like, to be an adult. Now as an adult I find most are trying to find their childhood again. I vowed early on in life that I would make a conscious effort to maintain a sense of childish fun. As we get older we lose our wonder. Everything is new and exciting as a kid. There are many experiences that haven't been had and when they are the tastes, smells, feels of that experience stay with you and give you that warm and fuzzy feeling. I think that as an adult our goal should be to maintain that feeling. So instead of being 80% serious and 20% childish. That should be flipped. Besides what's the point of having adult money if you can't have kid fun? Hope you enjoy the Sesh! Don't forget to Subscribe, Like, Share and visit Tots420.com

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem, we're discussing implants, specifically Neuralink, conspiracy minded people and the irony that is their arguments and actions. Everyone know's someone that goes deep down the rabbit hole. You know the ones. They think everything the government does is evil and controlling. The type of person that thinks that, only the news they are privy to, is the right information. They spout off all day about how the government is trying to deceive you. How covid was a mass experiment designed to asses the worlds governments ability to control the population, on mass. This type of paranoia doesn't normally go hand in hand with the concept of inserting a chip in to your brain. In fact, having a Neuralink implanted pretty much voids all previous worry that the government is out to control you, doesn't it? With everything we know about media, propaganda and government influence. It doesn't concern you that one of, if not the, smartest people on the planet wants to chip us all. Sure you can say it's in an effort to progress humanity and develop a global consciousness. But if we've learned anything from any sci-fi movie ever. It should probably be that, the guy who wants to chip us may have some nefarious plans. Seriously this would potentially make us human puppets. I can't fathom the idea of someone influencing my decisions let alone having total control over my mind. The thought is seriously bananas. Hope you enjoy the Sesh!

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem Lets talk about the fact that Boeing has stranded 2 astronauts in space on the international space station. Could you imagine training all your life to be an astronaut and go into space. You finally get called up to the big leagues. They tell you, you're going to man this new space craft but it's just gonna be a quick trip out an back. Next thing you know you're barely out of the atmosphere and you start hearing some rattles and clanks. One of your engines goes and you all of a sudden have a structural problem. Now you have to doc at the international space station and try to fix it. You work on fixing and find out the problem can only be fixed back on earth. Ok cool. You figure no problem we'll hop back on this sardine can and ride it back to earth. Nope! Can't do that. The probability of this piece of junk getting humans back to earth is pretty slim. Now you find out the whole time you've been off the planet. Congress has been hard grilling Boeing on their inability to make a viable space craft. Even though this one took some where near 11 years longer and quite a bit more money than they anticipated. I guess my question is... As an astronaut would this be exciting or terrifying? Part of me thinks it would be exciting because you get to stay in space longer than expected. However the sane part of me thinks you might go a bit bonkers realizing you're trapped in space, with no way home and you can't rely on the people that got you there because, well, they didn't really know what they were doing in the first place. Did they? Hope you enjoy the Sesh! Don't forget to Share, Like, Subscribe and visit Tots420.com

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem, your friendly neighbourhood potheads, Justin and Tyler play "Would You Rather?". We acquired the help of our good friend Anna, to run the production side of the podcast and help out as host of our silliness. This sesh is all about the good times, giggles and creativity. Having a third person really helped us explore each topic and give some of the most ridiculous analysis possible. Whether it was choosing between walking on our hands, or eating with our feet. To risking it all on the flip of a coin, we had a really good time with this episode. If you're looking for a few laughs and absurd explanations this is where it's at. Get in on the fun and join the sesh. Smoke along, free up some head space and answer with us, as we go through these silly scenarios. Let's see if like Tyler and I, we all share a brain. It was surprising to all of us how similar we are. I mean we always had an idea that we shared the same brain, now I think we're convinced of that fact. Prepare for hilarity and start your weekend off with a few belly laughs! Hope you enjoy the sesh. Don't forget to Subscribe and check out Tots420.com

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem Tyler and I are back with our could have been Kind summer fair adventure. It basically turned into a Tuesday afternoon stoned bus ride/adventure.

Sure it wasn't what we expected or planned for, but if you are a fan of the podcast your know that Tyler and I can turn any experience in to a hilariously fun adventure.

One thing to note is that we were trying out some new Lavalier microphones on this sesh. We were hoping the sound quality would be a step up. I'm not sure if it's my inexperience them or if I just got really cheap ones. It's most likely the latter. But the sound did not come out as clear as I was hoping.

I want to take a second to apologize for the poor sound quality on this one. I thought I could clean it up in post production. I did my best but it's still not on par with previous episodes. Even though the beginning is a little rocky it does even out as we settle in to the sesh.

Provided you can grind through the opening you're in for a treat. This sesh is all the giggles and good feels you expect from Thoughts Off The Stem.

We've been gone for a bit because life gets in the way some times, but now we're back with a solid sesh full of fun stories and laughter. So join us, your friendly neighbourhood potheads to start your weekend off right.

Hope you enjoy the Sesh!
