Strawberry Banana

Besides my son, this is the greatest thing on planet earth!! I have severe musculoskeletal damage including a broken back, neck and torn rotator cuff. I also suffer from severe anxiety and PTSD from combat. I’ve taken Sleeping pills and pain pills in such high doses and, for so long, that it would alarm you. I no longer take any prescription pain medication (down from 300 oxycodone/month), muscle relaxers, sleeping pills.... NOTHING!! Strawberry Banana, in just a couple of hits, not only replaces all of those medications.... It is infinitely more effective. It’s a magical, euphoric, relaxing, pain relieving strain that, to me, is everything GOOD about Cannabis for medical use. It’s an answer to prayer!

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
