I like to consume Headband on the walk home from work through the blooming flower-lined sidewalks of Berkeley neighborhoods. This has been my regular lately and I look forward to coming back to it in the future to see if I feel the same.

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.

Ive always wanted to try this strain because of the supposed "Headband effect". I popped into Rogue Valley Cannabis looking for some edibles when I noticed they had headband in stock grown by "The Cannabis Farm" @ 23% Thc. Being someone who would stop in the middle of a freeway to pick up a penny I hesitated because I thought 10 bucks a gram was steep. But I was assured I would not be dissapointed by the budtenders. Painfully my cheap a** shelled out the cash. Upon inspection I noticed it was expertly manicured. Medium density. Sour diesel like aroma and with a unique appearance (Different shades of light and dark green with some blue in the mix) Once the bud was broken a classic og kush odor wafted through the air which assured me its genetics were true. A rich creamy smoke which was surprsingly smooth and just a classic weed flavor (No fruitiness or any other exotic flavor to it) Despite not being too dense I got 4 good rips out of my one hitter bong which is actually a two hitter. The buzz sets in subtle at first but then after about 5 minutes of uplifting refreshment a satisfying and balanced head and body high take hold. No paranoia or anxiety, mild appetite stimulation and no crash or any other adverse or undesireable effects. This is what a true balanced hybrid represents to me. Much praise to "The Cannabis Farm" for such a great product and praise to Rogue Valley Cannabis for the knowledgeable staff.

A bit slow creeping high that after a bit left me completely high. Head high, body high. Smell was different and had a good taste at the end that I can't say I've had before. The flavor and smells from this strain just add to appeal. Gave it a 4 rather than a 5 because honestly it was a bit too high. Paranoid feelings for a bit after feeling the effects, felt racy. I would not suggest for those looking to take an edge of anxiety. Probably a better pain relief strain or if you are really looking for a completely high feeling. It's a great strain but just didn't fit my needs of easing anxiety.

This specific batch was soaked in yellow trichomes with ripe hearty florets. Visually, O.G. Kush can be noted with Sour Diesel, 'edges'. Aroma: chocolate, earthy, lemon, piney, moss. Liken to Gorilla Glue. Taste: 'alpha-limonene emphasized Gorilla Glue'. Smooth initially followed by TRPV- and the like-; chocolate moss exhale. Results: starting with mild relaxation, then an uplift [≈ 0.5 - 0.667 cups of standard coffee/3 combust inhalations]. Progressive increase in efficacy ['happy', 'relaxed', 'euphoric', 'numb', 'calm'] is slow; wait 30 minutes after to assess. Good duration [≈1 hour +/combust inhalation when guaged and paced]. The head, 'band': post-wait and with increased intake. *Note: avoid for headaches [migraine and tension specifically]; tension headaches can go without the help of a, 'headband'. Vascular dyssynergies and dissonance with nerve firings [as in migraines] may fare better without a, 'headband'. *WARNING: increased intracranial pressure is a, 'relative' or, 'full' contraindication? Mainstay for rec. in the midst. Overall: 7.5+/10. Would I purchase again: by ounces. Recommend to Connoisseurs and Sommeliers: some possibility [common, known]; more for lineage. Recommend to first-time and inexperienced-consumers? Yes: extended duration and gradual progression.

Cresco's Headband carts are definitely the love child of 2 potent parent strains. CO2 extracted oil. You got Sour D and OG Kush which themselves are pretty tasty and effective. Idk about the 'Headband' feeling tho. I guess I'm a little to experienced for that type of Headband feeling but nonetheless I'd recommend this strain to anyone looking for some relief during day and still be fully functional and active. You'll be more likely to turn some music on and volume up and jam out to your faves. If anyone can get their hands on this it's definitely a must try strain.
