Boreal Gas Banana 7g Bag Dried Flower Review - Ontario Recreational Market
I have had my eye on this brand and been anxiously waiting to get my hands on a bag for a while. Every drop so far has gotten rave reviews on Reddit and as Northwestern Territories only Licensed Producer (LP), I was very intrigued and I had HIGH hopes for this bag of Gas Banana. After a stressful week at work, all of my hopes and dreams were riding on this bag (lol). But boy did it ever DELIVER….(drool face) #LFG SPOILER ALERT!
As fate would have it, I was able to get my hands on the first unit out of the case that had just rolled off the Ontario Cannabis Store delivery truck. When my budtender handed me the bag, I felt an electricity…I felt like a hero and champion returning home to my remote village with a hidden treasure only I knew about. With its perfectly sized bag yellow bag looking back at me, I squeezed the buds through the packaging(they felt big and hearty in my grasp). Boy did I haul ass on my drive home, only stopping briefly to pick my order of wings and fries, and snagging a lottery ticket and kombucha from the nearby plaza….. the essentials!
Stocked with food and fun, I was ready to embark and descend down the rabbit hole.

First Impressions
Firstly, I swear to God the bag was exuding a delectable aroma THROUGH the packaging. As I excitedly ripped the top off the packaging, I was immediately slapped across the face with a sweet, gassy and powerful smell. The aroma had a ton of depth, with that familiar gelato scent, but also almost followed by a freshly baked and scalding cookie right out of the oven type of smell.
As I placed the gorgeous NUGS on the packaging, I could feel the flower communicating and speaking directly to me. When something is healthy and vibrant and exuding life, you innately know that it is HIGH quality and my body was calling me to consume this weed. It was as if my INNER THIRD EYE took over and guided me to this very place and time.
This cannabis sparkled and glistened in the light. It beckoned me to roll it up, and in TRUE Highbrow fashion, I went to work and prepared a huge FATTY fit for a king. The weed handled beautifully and was covered in trichomes. It was sticky and had just the right amount of squish factor.
I am normally a pretty chill and patient guy. In this instance I wasn’t as I was too hyped to smoke the Gas Banana. In hindsight, I do wish that I took the time to put this weed under the scope and get a closer look under magnification and get a truly beautiful macro view.
Nonetheless, I will procure another bag of this in the future and appreciate these trichomes up close and personal…..
Down the Rabbit Hole - A Date with Wonderland
As I sat on my back deck, I looked around and noticed the green in the tree leaves looked a little ever so brighter than normal. I picked up on the birds chirping and chatting amongst themselves, with me as the honoured guest and being officially welcomed by them. Suddenly I felt my eyes burning and my skull tingling. I was officially back home and in my special place. I felt a warm embrace as the HIGH enveloped me, the body high was tantric and I was now ready to tackle anything the world could throw at me.
As a veteran cannabis smoker, I love when I can achieve a breakthrough high and recapture that magic that only top quality cannabis can deliver.
Whatever they are doing at Boreal Cultivation, Keep up the good work guys! You are doing the Lord’s work and really knocked this one out of the park. I don’t normally get the pleasure of writing such a glowing review, but this cannabis won me over and it compelled to write this article to share the glory and good news! Until we meet again and I have my next religious experience (LOL)!
Verdict: Must Smoke Again! This batch that I smoked is Highbrow CERTIFIED!
