Banana Kush is an indica dominant strain that smells and tastes like the name suggests - a smooth blend of bananas and good Kush. It is a cross between the widely known Ghost OG and Skunk Haze. 
 
This strain is known for its aroma and flavor. It tastes like tropical fruits and bananas. It has underlying notes of earth.
 
Providing a potent indica body high, which starts with laziness leading to complete sedation, this strain is almost always prescribed and recommended for nighttime use. Many will find it hard to stay awake after 2-3 hits taken an hour or two before bed.
Banana Kush contains some of the cerebral effects of a Sativa, including mood elevation and a powerful feeling of euphoria. However, it also comes with common minor side effects such as dry mouth and eyes, occasional dizziness, paranoia, and headaches.
As mentioned above, this strain should be relegated to evening or night time use. It is highly prescribed to people fighting sleep deprivation and insomnia. Banana Kush is often sought out by patients suffering from chronic aches and pains. Others use it for relief from stress and anxiety. To a lesser degree, it may help patients suffering from migraines, glaucoma, nausea, eating disorders, and muscle spasms.
