Frequently Asked Questions

The Bruce Banner weed strain, often called Banner or OG Banner, is a hybrid cannabis strain (60% Sativa and 40% Indica). As a result, the strain offers a potent high with creative, relaxing, and euphoric side effects.


You can expect speedy side effects because of the high THC levels before settling into a head high with potential full-body relaxation.


The original cultivators—Dark Horse Genetics—bred the strain with OG Kush x Strawberry Diesel. Likewise, they named the cannabis strain after Bruce Banner, the fictional Hulk character from Marvel Universe.


Users often report a diesel aroma with sweet undertones, and the strain’s dominant terpene is myrcene. In addition, the Bruce Banner weed strain is often used for treating depression, anxiety, and nausea.

This weed strain is a potent Sativa-dominant hybrid strain with high THC levels. Therefore, the Bruce Banner strain effects are ideal for classic Sativa side effects, including:

  • increased happiness

  • boosted energy levels

  • improved creativity

This cannabis provides a fantastic buzz if you’re an artistic soul. The Bruce Banner strain effects are also ideal during the day or before work. If you’re battling any chronic conditions—such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, and nausea—the Bruce Banner strain effects are great in a high dose. It can also be a valuable strain for inflammation and chronic pain due to its 40% Indica properties.


The Bruce Banner weed strain does have high THC levels, so it’s a suitable strain for experienced marijuana users that are comfortable with strong head highs. Beginner smokers should start with less potent cannabis. Potential adverse side effects include dry mouth and dizziness, but you can prevent these with a careful dosage.

Strain Genetics: OG Kush x Strawberry Diesel

The famous OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel strains make up the Bruce Banner weed strain. Both strains are popular for relieving stress, anxiety, and depression; they’re also prevalent in veterans battling PTSD.


Here’s a breakdown of the two Bruce Banner weed strain’s parent strains:


1. OG Kush

OG Kush—commonly called Premium OG Kush—first began in the early 90s in Florida when cultivators crossed a cannabis strain from California with Lemon Thai, Chemdawg, and Hindu Kush from Amsterdam.


The mixture resulted in a hybrid strain with a complex aroma, a unique terpene profile, and a strong head high. OG Kush is superb for alleviating stress in the second half of the day.


2. Strawberry Diesel Strain

The Strawberry Diesel strain is a mixture of NYC Diesel and Strawberry Cough, resulting in a genuine hybrid with truly balanced side effects. If you’d like to complete daily activities but reduce insomnia, the Strawberry Diesel strain could be your strain.


The strain is also incredibly versatile; you can use it during the day or night. It's also a terrific strain for any sweet-toothed user because of its fruity aroma and flavor.
