Banana Hammock Adverse Reactions

The evolution of the Banana Hammock marijuana strain means it is almost impossible to guarantee you will get the same level of THC every time.

While this is a luck-of-the-draw an experienced toker will revel in, it can be a little too much if you are new on the scene.


The myrcene terpene is a powerful muscle relaxant and, when coupled with high levels of THC, can leave you couch-locked. Some users have also reported feeling levels of drowsiness, and even anxiety, especially when consuming the more potent strains.

This one is best taken at night, or on days when you haven’t got much else to do.

Other adverse reactions you can expect are dry eyes, cottonmouth, and hunger.

While there is no way to alleviate these symptoms completely, there are ways to make yourself more comfortable as you ride it out. A good bottle of eye drops, a jug of refreshing water, and a cupboard stocked with snacks will go a long way.
