Effects

Banana OG is a deceiving strain in that its effects are mellow and takes the time to creep in. It starts with a gentle buzz on the body and the back of your head. Does anyone smoke weed to feel agitated? No. Rather, what you start to experience is the polar opposite.

As the buzz spreads to your head and the rest of the body, you find yourself relaxed. For most people who are unfamiliar with this strain, there is an urge to consume a tad bit more. BUT hold on and wait. We did say it takes its sweet time, and besides, it’s not done yet.

The gentle buzz soon gives way to a feeling of euphoria. Total body relaxation and euphoric feeling, who doesn’t want that? But that’s not when this hybrid strain stops. It continues to bring you to a state of relaxation that may now border on making you wanting to stay seated or lying down.

Meanwhile, your mind is buzzing, not a lot, as you are still functional and may, in fact, talk too much with open honesty. Call it a truth serum, if you will. Kidding aside, some users have described the experience as more like being comatose as you literally feel your body feeling heavy, which is why you don’t feel like moving at all.

After a couple of hours, when the effect starts to wear off, that’s when you abruptly feel hungry, and at the same time, sleepy.

Banana OG is a great strain if you use it at the end of the day.

Fragrance

Seasoned cannabis users who are familiar with the OG Kush will probably not detect much of it in this strain. Aptly named, Banana OG does carry the skunky aroma of banana peels. For some people, the fragrance is associated with rotten bananas. In spite of how it sounds, the actual smell is not as bad as it is made out to be. It does have a sweet undertone of cinnamon, which makes it pleasant enough for most people.

Flavors

The best way to describe its flavor is this. “I have blind tested it with my homies,” says one Banana OG user. “And each one said it tasted like bananas.” Apparently, it tastes better than how it smells.

Adverse reactions

Banana OG, like almost all strains of cannabis, may result in dry mouth. But it’s not only feeling mouth dry that may be a concern, it also has a potential to cause dry eyes. As usual, keeping yourself hydrated helps ease or minimize such symptoms.
