Banana Tooth
Banana Tooth is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the genetic lineage of Snaggle Tooth. This cultivar is categorized by a 60-day flowering period and is considered to be of moderate difficulty regarding cultivation. It is well-suited for growth in both indoor and outdoor environments and offers a high yield to the producer. Its role as a foundational genetic influence is evidenced by its notable offspring, which include the strains Lace Cake and Meraki.
The terpene profile of Banana Tooth is complex and diverse, led by a dominant presence of caryophyllene followed by limonene and humulene. The secondary and tertiary tiers of its aromatic chemistry include terpinolene, linalool, myrcene, and bisabolol. Completing its chemical composition are beta-pinene, pinene, nerolidol, ocimene, and valencene, with minor contributions from guaiol, alpha-terpinene, gamma-terpinene, and terpinene. This wide spectrum of compounds informs the specific sensory experience characteristic of the strain.
As a THC-dominant variety, Banana Tooth produces effects defined primarily by sensations of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These therapeutic profiles make it a frequent choice for individuals seeking relief from stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. Beyond its immediate effects on the user, the strain maintains a significant genetic legacy within the modern cannabis market through its direct contribution to established progeny such as Lace Cake and Meraki.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
