FAQ Section
Is Banana Cream a strong THCA strain?
Yes, Banana Cream is a potent THCa strain, with lab tests showing almost 29% (28.7%). This is why it’s more suited to experienced users and those who don’t shy away from exploring strains with a noticeable character.
Is this strain Indica, Sativa, or Hybrid?
Banana Cream is a balanced hybrid that is slightly indica-dominant. Although it brings elements from both sativa and indica, the indica lean brings more calming, soothing, and relaxing effects suitable for situations that demand minimal focus, as well as a gentle uplift in mood.
Does THCA get you high when smoked?
No, you can’t get high from THCa, unless it’s heated. In its raw form, THCa doesn’t exhibit any psychoactive properties. However, everything changes once you heat it, through smoking or vaporizing it, and a process known as decarboxylation takes place. This converts THCa into THC, known for producing intoxicating effects. These are the effects associated with “feeling high”.
Is this strain beginner-friendly?
Although the experience with Banana Cream depends on the user, tolerance, and the amount used, the sessions are usually described as approachable and gentle. This could make the strain worth a try, including for those who’re trying it out for the first time. To reduce the risk of unpleasant effects, always begin with the smallest amount and check your tolerance first.
What does Banana Cream taste like?
Banana Cream’s flavor profile is abundant and dessert-like. In the first few inhales, users report a sweet and ripe banana with creamy vanilla, almost like of a banana pudding or a milkshake. The inhales are fruity and mellow, whereas the exhales leave a lingering vanilla-cream presence.
