Headband potency is higher THC than average.

Headband, also known as simply "HB," is a hybrid marijuana strain and love-child of cannabis’ power couple, OG Kush and Sour Diesel. The smooth, creamy smoke is accented by flavors of lemons and diesel while the long-lasting effects are great for pain relief, helping you to relax, and to combat elevated stress levels. Many report that the effects create a slight pressure around the crown of their head and feels as though they are wearing a headband. The effects have been known to come on slow, so pace yourself with this potent hybrid.

Very versatile strain. It really has two different highs to it; one is when it's consumed in low doses, and one is when it is in high doses. The most recent batch of this at Montana Buds is around ~22% THC and ~0.1% CBD, and it has an extremely prominent lemon scent, with a hint of diesel. The flavor was surprisingly more lemony, and the thick smoke gives it a creamy aftertaste. Really outstanding flavor. Now when this strain is taken in lower doses it's ideal for a morning/early afternoon smoke if you need to treat anxiety, depression, or appetite loss. Lower doses will make the high pleasant, but not overpowering. You'll probably feel a slightly tingly cerebral sensation, along with a nice calming body effect. Keep in mind, this strain is very potent, so low doses means only 1-3 small hits (4-5 in a vape). With that you'll still be able to be productive and get things done. Higher doses do indeed give you the headband sensation, just an extremely pleasant pressure all around the crown of your head. The indica side of this strain comes out in the higher doses as well, with a much more intense, melty body effect. Perfect for getting under a warm blanket and playing video games or watching tv, you'll melt into your hed/couch. Great for insomnia as well as anxiety/depression when used at night time. Overall: A+ strain, very diverse in the treatments and effects it can be used for, with a phenomenal smell and flavor to boot.

Unbelievable strain. Easily my favorite that I have ever smoked. Headband(sometimes known as 707headband) has you feeling uplifted and relaxed just after exhale, and after about 5 minutes feeling the head high coming on and relaxed. After 20 or so minutes later after slowly being lifted up, I usually get slammed almost out of nowhere with an extremely heavy head high and very noticeable calming and soothing body high that both last and keep building for another 40-60 min and then peak for about an hour before very slowly(and not noticeably for about another hour) coming down, all the while the high frequently changing. I always sleep great afterwards. I usually feel very social when I smoke this, I love to joke around or hang out with friends and do anything from sitting and talking to play fighting to crawling around the floor on an adventure. I highly recommend this strain for social events where you can be goofy and either energetic or laid back. Lovely smoke.
