I have to admit, as far as strain names go, this is a pretty peculiar one. But there’s nothing wrong with this strain, let me tell you. You’re sure to have a high you’ll never forget as soon you start toking with good old Donny around.
This hybrid strain crosses the Hans-Solo Burger strain with the GMO Cookies strains to achieve this powerful, potent, indica-dominant high. And it’s currently taking the US by storm. It continues to increase in popularity, and it’s really not hard to see why.
With its THC content levels coming in at a minimum of the high twenties and its maximum being within the low 30s, you can expect it to knock your socks off. If you’re new to the THC world, you might want to avoid this one for now as it’ll probably be a little overwhelming.
And to my veteran smokers who are sure they can conquer any strain, let this be your warning to take it easy too. Don’t overestimate its power, it’s stronger than you think.
Donny Burger’s Background
While this strain is a hybrid, it actually only has a 10% ratio of sativa with the following 90% being indica. In terms of THC, it usually ranges between 27-32% so it’s incredibly strong. So start off slow and build yourself up with this bad boy.
As I mentioned above, the parent strains of Donny Burger are GMO and Han-Solo Burger. GMO is very well renowned for its euphoric highs along with its very positive mood-boosting properties.
It is also known for its pungent aromas and its ability to sedate when taken in large doses. You can expect to see all of these properties in your Donny Burger strain too.
Han-Solo Burger is also known for its great scent and taste. It also tends to trap its smokers onto the couch for the duration of the high.
Appearance, Aroma, & Flavor
The smell and taste of this strain are really unlike any other. It’s quite hard to describe unless you’ve got it right there in front of you. But I’ll try to paint the picture.
The aroma is pungent, skunky, sweet, and earthy all at the same time. I think you’ll be hard-pressed to actually find another strain with as many different scents coming off it at once.
You can tell where the burger name comes from once you spark up as you also get hints of sweet cheese, lemon pepper, spice, and a fruity flavor too. Now, this sounds quite overbearing and not all that enjoyable but I promise that it does smell better than it sounds.
The taste is also pretty complex and hard to describe. It’s a little bit sweet, kind of sour, and also has an underlying hint of diesel to it too. It’s definitely a unique combination that you can’t truly comprehend unless you try it for yourself.
Keep in mind though, that as soon as you spark up, everyone around you will well and truly know that you’re smoking it thanks to its distinct and unique aroma. The bud itself is drop-dead gorgeous. It’s so pretty that you won’t want to grind it up.
Almost. The buds themselves tend to be thick, dense, and are covered in sparkly trichome crystals when grown correctly. They tend to mostly range in different shades of green in color, but sometimes they’ll also contain the most stunning royal purple hue.
How You’ll Feel After Smoking?
So, the question that everybody wants the answer to…what does the high feel like? Well, it’s truly a full-body high, right from the very top of your head, all the way through to the tip of your toes you will feel the high waves of intoxication roll through you.
The head high is very intense, so be prepared for that. And the body high isn’t much different. In your mind, you’ll be in a totally euphoric state, while your body slowly and steadily sinks into the couch.
Don’t expect to have an all-nighter either if you’re smoking this strain because it has a pretty strong sedation effect to it, especially when it is smoked in large quantities.
The reported effects of the high can differ somewhat from person to person, but it is often reported that you’ll have quite a body-numbing feeling as your body hits full relaxation mode. This is probably one of the reasons why it is so popular among those with chronic pain ailments.
The high amounts of Beta-Caryophyllene contained within the strain have been known to really effectively battle inflammation, all kinds of pain management, and is also great for those with sleep disorders such as insomnia.
Sufferers of anxiety, stress, and depression also often turn to this strain for some much-needed relief. Other smokers have reported that the euphoric head high can give you a serious case of the giggles so it’s perfectly paired with a comfy couch and a great comedy.
It’s also a great strain to smoke with your partner as many have noted its highly arousing and fulfilling properties. Due to its potent relaxation and couch-locking effect, it is best to smoke this strain during the evening.
I can promise you won’t get anything done once this high gets a hold of you. So wait until all your responsibilities for the day are over and then reward yourself with that heavy body high that will keep you feeling great right up until bedtime.
Adverse Side Effects
As with any strain, you’ll have the usual side effects that tend to occur such as dry eyes and that hardcore cottonmouth feeling. So you’ll want to ensure that you keep yourself nice and hydrated throughout your time smoking.
For those who don’t smoke very often, you’ll experience quite a few not-so-nice side effects too. This is why I recommend leaving this strain alone unless you’re a frequent and constant smoker.
For those with a low-THC tolerance, you can expect to also feel quite anxious, perhaps even paranoid, and experience strong dizzy spells. The side effects will probably overpower any positive parts of the high for a new smoker.
Growing Donny Burger
Donny Burger is a great grow option because it produces very large and incredibly dense buds in a high yield. You’ll definitely need to ensure that you’ve got the space to grow Donny inside though, as the plant tends to grow quite high and also has very large branches.
The plant fairs better overall from an inside grow, but it can be grown outside too providing that your climate is sunny and temperate. However, if you’re hoping to achieve that beautiful royal purple hue that some buds can possess then you’ll need to opt for indoor growing.
You can expect to wait around 9-10 weeks for this plant to start flowering, and I would only really recommend it to experienced growers due to its high maintenance needs.
This strain will need your full and undivided attention. So, much like when smoking, it’s really only suitable for those with a little more knowledge and understanding.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Donny Burger A Sativa Or Indica?
This hybrid strain is predominantly indica despite having both sativa and indica genetics (see also “Sativa Strains: A Comprehensive Breakdown“). This is because both parent hybrids are also indica-dominant. So you can expect a more relaxed and sedated high than an energetic buzz.
Is Donny Burger Top-Shelf?
Both of Donny Burger’s parent strains are top-shelf, and their child follows right behind in their footsteps. This strain is very powerful and potent and comes in with that super unique aroma and flavor.
I can’t imagine any cannabis enthusiast not instantly falling in love with the Donny Burger strain.
Is Donny Burger Strong?
Yes, it is definitely not an option for the faint-hearted. The Donny Burger strain comes in with a whopping 28-32% THC content which is up there with one of the highest THC concentrations on the market.
This is certainly only an option for those that are well experienced and used to the effects of THC.
Final Thoughts
Donny Burger is one of my absolute favorite strains out there. Its taste, aroma, and high are so unique that there isn’t much on the market that compares to it.
As I have mentioned in this article, I would really only encourage those that are used to smoking regularly to give this strain a go. Riding a high this powerful and strong takes practice.
But if you are used to smoking, then you’re sure to be blown away by this bud. It’ll give you a euphoric head high that will have you feeling super happy and giggling like a little kid at basically anything and everything.
And the all-consuming body high will soon have sucked into the couch and stuck there like super glue. And then finally, once the high starts to wear off, you’ll feel well and truly sedated and will easily and effortlessly drift off into a deep sleep. I’ll see you in the morning!
