What is the best textbook or what have you to unbrainlet myself on QM?

Do you mean you barely meet prerequisites and just want to get your feet wet? Then whatever, something like Griffiths would do, although if you can you should go for a bit more rigorous text like Cohen-Tannoudji or Sakurai.
If you already know QM and want to know more, get an advanced book like "Foundations and Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics" by Auletta that covers things like Gleason's theorem, decoherence, C*-formulation and GNS construction, etc.

I am switching unis, going from an undergrad program with almost no QM to grad program that assumes I did that uni's QM-heavy undergrad course.
I have good general maths/physics already but complete QM illiterate.

Sakurai for undergrad level, Landau for grad level.

Read Yudkowsky's sequences on Quantum Physics and Many Worlds.
