I’ve done a strain review on Dirty Banana before, and I certainly liked it back then. Well, it looks like nothing’s changed. This time I come to you with Paislafarian’s crop of this powerful strain, and with interesting things to report….

As expected from this particular hybrid, it smells strongly of overripe nanners, but also slightly of marshmallow (which is an excellent combination); I also picked up something faintly herbal, both in the aroma and the fruity taste. This Dirty Banana is highly pleasant on the nose and tongue, but its high quality can be seen simply by looking at the bud—its super densely packed flowers are wrapped in the sugariest sugar leaves, giving you lots of yield for your bowl. A little goes a long way too as it’s quite potent, so you’ll be sorted for a while. All of this is coated in mats of deep amber trichomes absolutely bursting with resin crystals.

The last time I had this strain, albeit from a different grower, I reported feeling euphoric and social; both of these effects carried through in Paislafarian’s version, but theirs had much more of a mellow quality than last. It’s pretty relaxing stuff—on one occasion I had an extra helping and promptly felt ready for bed. I’ve also been dealing with rather intense pain for the last month thanks to an injury, and Dirty Banana was an absolute blessing when it came to relief. In sum, this is a great strain for dealing with both mental and physical stress, and though it relaxes and sedates in higher quantities, your mind remains receptive; a great strain especially for socials, nature trails, and relaxing after work.

Like I said in the last strain review, Dirty Banana is for taking it slow and going far. Just remember that recipe I linked to earlier, you might find yourself craving a tasty snack.
