High IQ / Low IQ

​

Logline

Two cannabis decisions, side-by-side. One is the High IQ move. One is the Low IQ move. Professor High shows you which is which, and the data on the panel proves it.

​

Concept

High IQ / Low IQ is the most repeatable show in the library. Every episode is one comparison. “High IQ: Checking the terpene percentage before the THC percentage. Low IQ: Asking the budtender for the strongest one.” That is the entire format. Two columns, one verdict, one piece of data on the lower-third. It works because the cannabis category is full of decisions that look harmless but actually leave money, experience, or tolerance on the table. Most consumers do not know there is a smarter option, because nobody at the counter is teaching them. Professor High pulls the comparison out of the 19,000-strain database and shows the gap, episode after episode, until the audience starts thinking in those two columns themselves. The catchphrase is the long game. “High IQ move” should leak out of the videos and into the audience’s own captions, comments, and dispensary group chats. When that happens we own the language.

​

Why It Works

​

Format

15 to 25 seconds. Vertical. Always split-screen.

​

Platforms

​

Cadence

Three to five per week. The format is engineered for volume. If we run dry on comparisons, the audience will supply the next 200.

​

Example Episodes

1. High IQ: Reading the COA. Low IQ: Reading the strain name. A walk through one real lab certificate. The strain name says one thing, the cannabinoid and terpene panel say something completely different. The COA wins, every time.
2. High IQ: Buying 1g of 4 strains to compare. Low IQ: Buying an 8th of one and hoping. Pure dosing-and-discovery math. Same dollar amount, four times the data on what your body actually likes.
3. High IQ: Asking what’s the dominant terpene. Low IQ: Asking is it strong. Roleplay both questions at the counter. Show what each answer actually tells you about the experience you are about to have.
4. High IQ: Tracking your stash. Low IQ: I’ll remember which jar is which. Two weeks later, the High IQ consumer knows which strain hit and at what dose. The Low IQ consumer is guessing. App tie-in is implicit, not pitched.
5. High IQ: Letting your tolerance reset. Low IQ: Increasing the dose every week. The CB1 receptor explanation in plain English. Why the High IQ move costs you 48 hours and saves you a month of diminishing returns.
6. High IQ: Photographing the label before you leave the store. Low IQ: Trusting your memory after the first session. A photo is a free lab notebook.

Production Notes

• Always split-screen. Never single-frame. The visual grammar is the show.
• Green checkmark on the High IQ side, red X on the Low IQ side. Same position every episode.
• “VERDICT” lower-third is a recurring asset. Color-coded data point, never more than one stat.
• Professor High overlay sits centered between the two panels during the verdict beat.
• Outro is identical every time: “What’s your IQ on this?” Said out loud, written on screen.
• Set discipline: lab background only. No kitchens, no bedrooms.

Hashtags & Discovery

Discovery tactics: pin the catchphrase comment (“What’s your IQ on this?”) on every post. Reply to audience-submitted comparisons by stitching them into the next week’s slate, with credit.

​

Success Metrics

• Average 75,000+ views per episode within 30 days across the slate.
• Save rate above 5% on TikTok. The format should function as a checklist for the next dispensary trip.
• Comments using the phrase “High IQ move” without us prompting it. That is the cultural-currency signal.
• Submission rate of audience-proposed comparisons. If the audience starts feeding us pairs, the show has captured the language.

Pillar

Maps to Community & Engagement, with strong crossover into Myth Busting. The verdict is always evidence-based.
