Farmaceutical RX grows legal, organic cannabis in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Not unlike Galenas, FRX flower is Certified Kind. This means FRX pays a third-party company to inspect their grow operation to ensure the flower is grown to “organic” standards using no harmful pesticides, fungicides, growth accelerators or plant growth regulators (PGRs).
It is surprising how many chemicals are allowed to be used on legal cannabis crops in Ohio, both medical and recreational. Check it out for yourself on the Ohio.gov website. To view a cultivator-specific list of pesticides used on Ohio cannabis, read this document created by Pure Ohio Wellness. Not all cultivators are listed, such as Ritegene (Wondergrove).

When reading the cultivator list, keep in mind a level 1 license allows a cultivator to produce more cannabis than those that hold a level 2 license. Smaller, level 3 grow farms were approved by Ohio voters back in 2023 but there has been significant pushback and it has yet to materialize.
Banana Kush from Farmaceutical RX is an indica cross between Ghost OG and Skunk Haze. It came packaged in a glass jar with a plain black label that featured a Certified Kind logo. When I opened the container I was hit with a bold scent that undoubtedly gave me sweet banana vibes. I could smell the terpinolene and looked forward to finding out if this pot tasted like it smelled.
My tenth of FRX Banana Kush weighed 2.93 grams, which was exactly one tenth of a gram over weight. This was refreshing given the fact that a lot of my recent tenth purchases have weighed under 2.83 grams.

The Banana Kush flower had a real nice, trichome-laden look to it. The stems were snipped and the leaves were left behind. All that remained was premium, smokable pot that made my lungs leap with excitement in anticipation of combustion. The buds were not dry and they gave a nice squish when squeezed.
When broken down through my grinder, the Banana Kush did not turn to bone dust like Pure Ohio’s Locally Grown cannabis. The Banana Kush broke down like you’d expect and appreciate. When broken apart by finger, the trichomes remained on the buds and the flower cooperated in becoming nice little chunks.

The Banana Kush burned at about a medium speed and produced mostly light ash color. I sampled this strain in both joint and glass bowl.


I didn’t get much throat harshness while burning the Banana Kush, which was welcomed. It didn’t make me phlegmy and didn’t leave a bad aftertaste in my mouth.
The flavor of the flower was just as I had hoped for upon my first whiff. It had a sweet terpinolene tang that absolutely reminded me of bananas. I recently had a half ounce of Banana Skunkberry from Certified, and compared to that strain, I’d say the FRX Banana Kush had much more of a banana-y flavor.
A friend recently told me they didn’t think the FRX Banana Kush had a whole lot of banana taste to it, but that’s not quite the vibe I got. While I will agree with them in that I have tried bud with even more of a banana taste, like some homegrown Apples and Bananas flower given to me by a friend, I still thought the FRX Banana Kush had a real nice banana-y scent and flavor. It tasted terpinolene-heavy, which is a terpene that has always reminded me of bananas going back to when I first started smoking.
Back in the day, once in a while I’d acquire a bag of weed that just smelled and tasted like bananas, and I could never figure out why. The Jack Herer strain was always one that gave me those vibes. It wasn’t until years later when I started learning about terpenes that I realized terpinolene was responsible for that signature smell I always associated with bananas.
The FRX Banana Kush had calming, pain-punting effects. It was soothing, yet not sedative. I maintained a high level of focus and could totally feel the terpinolene head buzz.
Typically, terpinolene is associated with sativa-like effects, so I was surprised to see this strain listed as an indica. However, it does seem that banana strains are usually indica-leaning.
Does FRX determine indica or sativa by plant structure, and not terpenes? Someone told me that’s how Klutch determines their indica/sativa labeling. Who am I to know? I just smoke the medicine and appreciate the effects.
I gave the Banana Kush from Farmaceutical RX an 8 out of 10 for taste, 3 out of 10 for harshness, 8 out of 10 for strength, 7 out of 10 for smell strength, and 60 minutes for length of medical effects.
