Donny Burger strain: cannabis that belongs between buns
There are some wild strain names in the weed world dating way back to the days of Cat Piss–and the Donny Burger strain fits the bill. Interesting names aside, this indica hybrid is worth a bite. Anyone seeking an ever-so-slightly mind-numbing relaxation should consider sinking their teeth into Donny Burger.
Donny Burger strain history
This cannabis strain was created by Skunk House Genetics, “Home of the Burger.” The well-known seed company crossed a clone-only GMO plant with the Han Solo Burger strain. Enter the first Donny Burger seeds.
The cross heightened the flavor, aromatic profile, and potency of the parent genetics–facts I tested out after picking up a Donny Burger strain grown by Soulshine Cannabis in Washington state.

Look, smell, and taste of Donny Burger
There is an intricate lemon scent and flavor coming off of Donny Burger, which grows chunky deep green nugs.
Open a jar of this indica hybrid to be greeted by the smell of a wicked-good burger, truly. The flower has a lemon scent joined by zesty pepper and garlic. Garlic is a member of the lily family, lending to the floral tones of the strain.
This flavor profile earned Donny Burger (and its parent Han Solo Burger) its name, proving that stoners are silly with purpose–sometimes. Other times outlandish strain names are given just for fun; let’s hope that’s the case with Cat Piss.
Anyways, the flavor of Donny Burger is similar, though I won’t promise you’ll feel like you bit into a juicy hamburger. To me, the flavor translated into citrus with a sweet but harsh floral undertone. It was pleasant and complicated in a way that had me pondering the aroma and flavor well after experiencing them.
Donny Burger offers a unique aromatic profile, which is unsurprising since its parents are both oddballs in the world of weed smells. The effects, however, are right on par with its mates in the indica hybrid realm.

Donny Burger strain effects
After puffing on some Donny Burger, I felt relaxed. The strain took my energy down, so it might not be a wise choice for a productive day. The effects took hold immediately with a full-body relaxation that I had no choice but to succumb to.
Donny Burger chills out the mind as well, almost too much depending on the person, time, and situation. Those trying to get a little relief with cannabis and get back to a task that requires mental fortitude may opt for a different indica hybrid like Pure Michigan strain or Ice Cream Cake.
Donny Burger is strong, at least the batch I smoked from Soulshine was, and it may have you researching a tangential thought for an hour or zoning into a TV show. I snapped out of my haze about one to two hours after consuming, though this will vary for everyone. Either way, choose the time to consume wisely with this potent indica strain.

Donny Burger is a cannabis strain that I wouldn’t have necessarily chosen based solely on the name. Looking deeper, it’s clear that would have been a mistake.
