33 Bananas

33 Bananas is the balanced hybrid child of the Bananas and OG Kush (50% indica, 50% sativa) strains. For the most part, 33 Bananas is one of the fairly potent strains with THC content at 15%-27% and less than 1% CBD. The strain (cultivar) is named after its rich, fruity, sweet banana aroma and tastes like overripe bananas. The high it creates has refreshing, soothing, and energizing cerebral effects. It is a popular strain worth trying because of its delightful euphoric effects and novelty flavor combination. Its effects suggest that 33 Bananas may help manage anxiety, depression, chronic pain, ADHD, and stress.

This cannabis strain is available from cultivator Kings Garden and was created by crossing Bananas and OG Kush strains. Like its parent strains, 33 Bananas has a pleasant fruity taste shockingly similar to bananas and reportedly provides a happy, relaxed high.

In comparison to the Bananas strain, 33 Bananas has higher levels of sativa, making it evenly balanced genetically rather than an indica-dominant hybrid.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder/Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD/ADD)

Utilizing CBD and other phytocannabinoids and terpenes in cannabis may help replace the lost endocannabinoids, helping treat pain and mood disorders associated with NF1 gene mutations. Using THC may help boost dopamine levels in the brain.

Medical cannabis may also help reduce the intake of stimulant medications. Terpenes like beta-caryophyllene and limonene may be beneficial for reducing the intake of stimulants and addiction in general.

Dosing

33 Bananas strain has potent levels of THC, which means effects can hit you overwhelmingly. You may want to start with a smaller dose if you are inexperienced, as its high levels of THC compared to other strains make it more likely to cause dizziness.

Everybody has an individual “therapeutic window,” where the dose will allow you to enjoy a relaxing and beneficial high. Still, at a higher dosage than this, you may start to experience negative effects, and the therapeutic effects will plateau. Starting with a low dose will allow you to work up to this window without surpassing it.
