Your Brain on Weird

The brain child of Mothman and the Devil’s Lettuce, Your Brain On Weird is about weird stuff and weed. We take turns telling each other stories about ghosts, cryptids, conspiracies, myths, legends, dreams, synchronicities… While smoking in the comfort of our own homes! We’ll dive deep into the history and people involved in each of our stories and discuss our relation to them, while also finding reasons to laugh.

You can join us each week for some wacky stories, scary tales, and cannabis education. Each episode features a “Meducation” section where we share some knowledge about cannabis and discuss all of the reasons why it’s our go-to for nearly everything.

We do our best to create a safe space that is welcoming for all of our listeners.

Sage
