Full of crystals, smells and smokes piney. When I first tried this it did give headband pressure and made my vision blurry, it was my first smoke of the day at around 9:30 PM, maybe I was tired already? I did try it the next morning before my coffee, again with the headband feeling even after my coffee which usually relieves any of my headaches. Made me feel lazy and unmotivated when I took my dog for a walk, it wasn't a long walk, vision hazy, maybe it was too early? Maybe it was humid out? Third time trying it still have pressure and still blurry and i'm not a headache prone person. It's more of mellow indica dominated for me I think this would be useful for bedtime and pain definitely helps with my joint pain as I suffer from chronic Lyme disease. MY thoughts on Headband: Not for the daytime Definitely feel headband pressure Blurry vision Good for joint inflammation, stomach pain, depression. Great for insomnia I'm a sativa lover so I rank this lower, I mostly use cannabis during my waking hours.

I am just trying this strain for the first time, in wax form, for use with a vape pen, from FLAVRX.. I am a combat vet.. I look for strains that help me get through my day.. Mainly that help me forget everything and be lost somewhere else out there in la la land.. And this strain definitely does the trick for me.. I have never thought to use the term "headband" before, I always described the head band feeling to be a "frontal-lobe high" and I have always like strains that give that feeling.. The taste is great, very earthy, it seems to be felt almost immediately.. And has a good "creeping" effect.. I think this would be good for depression, anxiety, to increase appetite, and help with pain.. I dont think it would be to good for helping someone sleep.. Overall I am very pleased, and would reccommend this strain, and I will personally order more of it myself..

The healing feeling came on slow. I like that; in that being aware something is changing. Same road, new sites. This strain; in it's own: lets you know and, enjoy the getting there. Moreover; leads one to wonder: how far does the road go. The rush was more snail mail. I did enjoy the getting there. Why rush a good thing; moreover, it was worth the wait. Good all around feeling. Had a great day that was not planned. ( They are the best) I have read the reviews since then. What I have not read in the strain attributes which is in fact, to myself. It made me so fucking horny, that much of my day was given to thought of you know what. It got to the point; on the second night. I hesitated taking a shower alone for fear what I might do to myself. You cannot sneak out of your own house at 3 A.M out of guilt

The cocaine of weed. This thing just makes me wanna go fast and just be a hooligan. Definitely don't recommend mixing this with Adderal or Vyvanse. Made the mistake a few times and it was just overwhelming. Very citrus forward flavor and aroma. Best enjoyed in low doses in my opinion. Too much and you're just bouncing off the wall. Definitely has its time and place.

Can't go wrong with a cross of og and sour diesel honestly. Smoked a percy of this at Independence Grove and wow what a high. My buddies and I walked around the photogenic landscape, enjoying the simple pleasures life has to offer.

I've had this before but wasn't interested in doing my own review, but here we go. The bowl on my bong holds somewhere around 1/4 of a gram, and I usually fill it about halfway up, so a fully cleared rip is about .125 gram (an eighth) if done properly, give or take. I ground up a decent-sized nug and filled the bowl. First hit was surprisingly harsh, so I choked pretty hard and didn't clear the bong or cash the bowl. I pulled and exhaled the stale smoke and re-lit the bowl. Smoother this time, maybe because I was expecting it. I waited about 4-5 minutes and deciding I wasn't feeling anything and packed another bowl. Full again, but I went it it a little more cautiously, inhaling more slowly, and it reduced the harshness and I didn't choke. After that large hit, I began to feel my eyelids relaxing and I knew the ride had begun. I remember why it's called "Headband", because of the feeling of something resting on the crown of your head. To me, it feels like a 3-pound donut that is pressing my skull, but not in a bad way, just like I need to keep my head up and balanced to keep it from falling off. Anyway, dry mouth came on pretty quickly, but not as bad as I get it from Girl Scout Cookies or some other Kush varieties. I always drink mango juice when I'm smoking, so I don't mind feeling thirsty. My lower-back pain went away pretty quickly, and all my joint pain melted after that. Not terribly couchlocked, but I definitely feel like staying in this chair for a bit. Definitely no munchies, although my stomach feels calmer than usual, which is nice. Everything is visually stimulating, especially bright colors. My third bowl has been 4 hits over about an hour, and I'm feeling great. Watching TV with my wife should always be this awesome. Finally, my eyes aren't really dry at all, whereas some strains leave me hitting the eyedrops right after exhaling. I'm rating Headband as a 4 simply because of its heavy, thick, rough smoke. Everything else is great; pain relief, relaxation, de-stress/anxiety relief, and only minor dry mouth and eyes. If you mentally prepare to take long, slow rips, you'll be happy with Headband. Keep your head up straight or you'll drop the donut thingy!

Smoked this in my pipe one day and OMG. I know why they call it headband. Your head will be spinning but In a good way. In a backwoods headbuzz way. Stoners should know what I mean
