Modified Banana effects are mostly calming.
Modified Banana is a modern hybrid-indica cultivar created through the crossing of GMO Cookies and Gushers. This genetics-forward hybrid is suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments, where it demonstrates a moderate level of grower difficulty and provides a high yield within a 67-day flowering period. Its lineage has served as the foundation for an extensive list of notable offspring, including Gello Banana, Banana Squirts, Back To Banana, Banana Burger, Banana Dulce, Banana Rainbow, Big Papa, Dirty Buntz, Donny Bananas, Duel Dope Muffler, and others.
The sensory profile of this THC-dominant strain is defined by a complex terpene architecture led by myrcene, followed by limonene, caryophyllene, and beta-pinene. Linalool, pinene, humulene, and terpinolene contribute to its secondary profile, while the experience is completed by trace amounts of bisabolol and caryophyllene-oxide. This specific distribution of terpenes informs the distinct aromatic and flavor nuances observed in the harvested flower, reflecting the depth of its GMO Cookies and Gushers heritage.
Users typically report effects characterized by a sense of being relaxed and focused. Due to these properties, Modified Banana is frequently utilized to assist with the management of pain, stress, and sleep. Beyond its individual therapeutic utility, the strain remains a significant genetic contributor to the modern cannabis market, established by its prolific list of progeny that continue to carry its influence through various contemporary crosses.
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| myrcene | ~60% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
| caryophyllene | ~28% | spicy | relaxing · social |
| pinene | ~12% | pine | focus · creative |
Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.

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: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
Primary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
Linalool GABA-A modulation + caryophyllene CB2 agonism drive anxiolysis without heavy sedation; distinct from sleepy — supports sustained presence and mild focus.
Pinene acetylcholinesterase inhibition (IC50 0.44 mM per Russo 2011) sustains acetylcholine; counteracts THC-induced short-term memory deficits.
Primarily indica with sativa influence. Relaxing body with some cerebral lift.
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.

Seeds availableModified Banana is modeled here as a indica-dominant (primarily indica with sativa influence).
Myrcene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Caryophyllene follows as the secondary terpene.
Modified Banana is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
See the "Data confidence" card in the sidebar. Terpene profiles and effects are chemistry-informed estimates — individual responses depend on phenotype, source, and personal chemistry.
