Banjo, sometimes called the "champagne of weed," is a sativa-leaning hybrid bred and phenotyped by renowned breeder Parker Sullivan through crossing Boost with Tangelo. It earned critical acclaim as one of Leafly's five strains to be excited about in 2020, prized for its bright citrus character and frosty, resinous buds, which appear as small flat triangle-shaped neon green nugs with thin orange hairs and a thick coat of golden crystal trichomes. The strain carries a signature aromatic contradiction, opening with a musky tangerine and sour citrus punch layered over a funky grated-cheese skunkiness and an earthy pine backbone, while the flavor turns sweeter and pinier with a creamy cheese exhale. The high opens with a quick cerebral rush within minutes of the first exhale, shooting through the mind with a happy, tingly euphoria that erases negative thoughts and sparks creativity and focus, making it well suited for artistic work or conversation. As the euphoria settles, a slow, functional body melt begins, weighing just slightly on the eyelids and limbs without locking you to the couch. A versatile daytime strain for improving mood and easing chronic pain, migraines, appetite loss, nausea, depression, and ADD or ADHD. Worth noting some batches test quite high, so the effects can sneak up fast.
