Headband

Headband is an indica-dominant hybrid that is very popular on the West Coast. This popular strain can almost be found anywhere and is loved by many for its strong stoney effects and medicinal capabilities. It is the result of a triple cross involving the classic old school strains, OG Kush, Sour Diesel, and Master Kush. The name “Headband” comes from the effects of smoking this incredible strain. Many users report feeling a slight pressure around their head after smoking, similar to wearing a headband! All will enjoy its famed cerebral effects and health benefits.

Effects

The THC content of this strain averages from 16-20%, making it quite a potent strain and comparable to even top shelf strains! The catch with strain is that the effects will take some time to kick in. Therefore, it is best to take it slow on this strain as one can easily take too much. Headband induces a relaxed state of both body and mind. Physical relaxation will first be noticed as the body unwinds and laziness sets in. Soon after, the cerebral effects will begin and take you by surprise. You might be surprised at how hard it hits. Happiness and feelings of euphoria will produce an uplifted state of mind and mood. We recommend this strain for evening use as Headband will definitely couch-lock both your mind and body. Do not expect to do much as the heavy head high will leave your mind foggy and spacey.

This strain is great for treating a handful of medical conditions. With a strong mix of body and mind effects, it is an extremely versatile strain. Many use it to treat conditions such as:

1. Stress
2. Depression
3. Pain
4. Headaches and migraines
5. Nausea
6. Hyperactivity

For inexperienced users, the head high may be overwhelming, causing headaches and paranoia. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the main side effects otherwise.

Appearance, Aroma, and Taste

The buds of Headband are usually small and nugget shaped compared to the usual. The leaves are a pale-ish green and may include shades of purple depending on its growing environment. The trichomes are very visible on the surface and give a silver-white glisten to the nuggets. The initial smell of the flower is a moderate diesel and earth-like scent but upon closer inspection, the smell of lemons is very noticeable. The smoke is very smooth and is enhanced by hints of lemon and diesel. Overall, this strain is a top notch strain that should be on the top shelf collection but instead is accessible to all smokers.
