Strawberry Banana

First impression was, "wow, this really smells like banana." As soon as my budtender came out with the jar, i could just smell the sweetness.. And the flavor is just as great. Very mellow smoke, nice banana taste. The flower i got was 24.6% THC and i gotta say, i was impressed by the effects. Nice mellow affects that lasted me all morning, very nice way to start your mornings. However, i missed that giggly and happy feeling. I got more of a calm, focused feeling from it. Still a great strain.

This strain is labeled Strawberry Banana OG and is reported to be a Banana Kush/Bubblegum cross. This is a true hybrid as I noticed both Indica and Sativa properties. The flowers are a light yellow/green mixed with medium green and light brown hairs. to me, it looks a lot like Pineapple Express. This sample from River City in PDX is sticky with resin and the smell is fantastic. Probably the sweetest and most reminiscent of fruit of any strain I've tried (out of dozens). The smell carries through to the taste. Vaping the flower produced several bags of thick vapor that made me cough a couple of times. The effects took about 10 minutes to be substantially noticeable for me, but when it hit, it was fairly intense euphoria mixed with calm. I was able to think clearly for the first half hour with this strain, then the munchies hit with a vengeance. I say vengeance, because I suffer with nausea problems, and too high a munchie factor can sometimes increase my nausea by kicking my stomach into overdrive. This is one of those strains. It would be great for someone who has appetite problems but doesn't deal with nausea issues. The kush effects kicked in after a snack and made me really sleepily and thick brained but really relaxed for about an hour. I was able to power through the grogginess and brain fog and am writing this review on the other side. Overall, this strain has several outstanding qualities. This smell and the favor alone make this a stand out. I recommend this strain if you want intense munchies, but you might want to get the munchies out first as there was a longish cough lock phase as well. No anxiety or paranoia for me with this strain. About a two hour migrating overall effect. Relaxing for both mind and body. I will definitely get this strain again when I can. -sy

This strain is perfect for relaxed days away from work. If my shoulders were more relaxed, they'd be on the ground. This is listed as a Sativa Hybrid at the CBCB in Berkeley, but it is most definitely an indica dominant hybrid. The scrolling marquee of thoughts completely stops with this one. It is not a strain that will send you into existential mind webs. It just makes you stop thinking altogether. For the creative type, it is extremely easy to achieve flow with this strain. It is also easy to take a little too much and need the bed. Think "stoner's high." That's this.
