Hy Hybrid THC 16-27% CBD 0-0.1%

Banana Kush

Overview:

Banana Kush is one of the more potent strains of weed. It is an Indica-dominated cross of Ghost OG and Skunk Haze. With a THC content of between 18% and 20%, Banana Kush not only offers a powerful experience, but is also considered by many to be one of the best tasting varieties of California cannabis available. When it comes to the smell and taste, the name Banana Kush is self-explanatory: a great smooth blend of banana and Kush. It is also sometimes described as a bit musky and earthy. The Banana Kush strain most commonly provides a strong Indica body high, accompanied by a feeling of laziness and finishing up with complete sedation. It also has some of the typical Sativa cerebral effects, like mood elevation and euphoria. Possible side-effects of Banana Kush include dryness of mouth and eyes, and rare instances of dizziness and headaches. As a medical aid, Banana Kush is most commonly used for treating acute sleep deprivation and insomnia. Because of its strength, it is highly recommended for evening and nighttime use. It has also been found to be quite effective in stress and anxiety relief, as well as in chronic pain and ache reduction.

Turning THC Dominant Cannabis Strains into CBD Strains

In the recent past, most growers concentrated on cultivating strains that were high in THC. In fact, over the years they kept getting higher and higher. Most marijuana strains carry around a 18 percent THC to 1 percent CBD ratio (sometimes THC is even higher at 20 percent and beyond). But due to the popularity of CBD skyrocketing in recent years, the demand for strains that provide more of the health benefits associated with CBD has grown exponentially. As such, many growers have turned to breeding THC strains into CBD strains to keep up with what people want and provide them with a wide variety of options.

Is Reefer Really Getting Stronger?

In other words, more potent weed means less consumption of the plant. You don’t need to smoke as much to get the same effect.

Why do Some Athletes Perform Better When They are Stoned?

As the legal climate of medicinal and recreational cannabis begins to change, so are the days of athletes who need to wring their hands in contrition and seek penance after failing a piss test for smoking the “devil’s lettuce.” Cannabis culture in sports has long carried within it the old school stigma of reefer madness and athletes throwing their careers away, but to be blunt, the reality of it all is this: lots of athletes use cannabis, and these days professional athletes across the country are speaking out in favor of the discredited herb.
