Apples and Bananas reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Apples and Bananas.
Lovely strain. Taste was a bit bitter, but I dry vaped at low temp. High was crisp and clear. No agitation, mild euphoria and energy to do some things. Buzz went into my body after 30 mins or so, at which point I got a bit tired. I really like this for a daytime strain when you need to do something tedious but don’t want to be an Energizer Bunny.
Great taste mellow buzz
This is my #1 top favorite strain and I am an “experienced” consumer. Tried lots of strains that I had high hopes for but ended up putting me over the edge with paranoia, anxiety, racing heart, all that other junk. But this A&B is different.
I purchase my A&B from VidaCann (now known as Planet 13). I only use distillate vapes or distillate oil as an edible. Their website claims it is a cross between Platinum Cookies, Granddaddy Purp, Blue Power and Gelatti. It’s classified as an indica leaning hybrid, but I feel personally that it is quite balanced. I don’t feel like going to the gym after using this strain, but I definitely don’t feel sleepy either. It’s not the *best* strain for work related focus, but it doesn’t make me feel too out of it to not focus on work. It REALLY helps with creativity though! This is my favorite strain to smoke/eat and then just write for hours. Helps with stress, definitely helps with depression too. I do get hungry, but not really *too* hungry unless I take an edible lol. I am content just snacking on some fresh fruit and really savoring the flavors.
Typically, the only time I get too high with this strain is when I take it as an edible (I put the distillate into a capsule and eat it). *To clarify: it is not the strain’s fault that I am getting too high, I just sometimes put too much in there lol. A short grain of rice sized amount is good.* Even when I DO get too high with this strain, it doesn’t make me feel like I am dying like some other strains have made me feel before. It doesn’t make me feel paranoid, maybe a little bit anxious, but it’s easy to steer my headspace into knowing it is just the physiological effects of the cannabis. With other strains, it is a lot more difficult.
Even though this strain can be a bit strong, I highly recommend it to anybody who is interested in trying. If you are a beginner, maybe take it easy and don’t smoke a whole joint. You don’t need a lot. Take your time and you will really really enjoy the effects of it.

Possibly my favorite strain now. It's relaxing but leaves me happy, the perfect way to wind day after a stressful day. I can feel the tension leave my muscles super quick too which is great for someone with chronic pain. Perfect strain for couples, too 💕
I am using this strain to make butter and then into cookies.
I am also using it to make a tincture and use it topically for pain relief. The results have been amazing!!!! 🥰
I have been blessed with trimmings so there is a little of all the plant in the trimmings.
One of Cookies classic strains. Lately I've had the Cookies cut which is always good and a cut from my friendly neighborhood club grower. His has far , far more purple than the Cookies cut and more of a nose on it compared to the Cookies version. Either way you cannot go wrong for this strain. Perfect for washing away troubles of the day. He pressed some rosin from his and it really makes me wish Cookies would do the same. He also extracted some terpenes from distillate made from the smalls and sugar trim and infused them into some diamonds. The apples really shined through in both exracts and took it to the next level. I rolled my first hash hole cone with the Cookies cut and a nice stick of his rosin and a sprinkle of the diamonds and I was in hog heaven. Currently waiting on him to restock on his cut but if he doesn't hurry up I'll be buying an ounce of the Cookies cut and doping it with his rosin and diamonds.
Great for : sedation , relaxation , nausea , anxietyf5
Bad for : dry mouth and eyes when already dehydrated , restless leg syndrome - seems to be exacerbated by this strain sometimes if I skip my Valium which I use for anxiety and skeletal muscle relaxation.
I decided to try this for the first time due to the terpene profile. I got the Cookies cartridge. The high is absolutely perfect, reminds me of Hawaiian rain. I mostly smoke for PMDD and migraines. This relieved all the pressure in my head and I I felt so relaxed. I hadn’t slept in a week due to a migraine attack. Right after I hit this, I crashed out. Amazing. Later on, I was able to draw for a couple of hours due to the pain relief and just vibing. The only thing is that it tastes AWFUL. It reminds me of artificial banana flavor, but it tastes like burned candy bananas in the worst way. I usually get Hawaiian Rain, but they were out. I will probably never buy this again because the flavor is so bad. But I’m def going to use the rest of this and enjoy tf out of the high.
If you're into a heavy indica like me, this is your strain! It gives a strong body high, and will have your mind at ease.
