Headband: A Powerful Indica-Dominant Hybrid

Headband is an indica-dominant hybrid that is very popular on the West Coast. Created from a triple cross of OG Kush, Sour Diesel, and Master Kush, it has become a go-to strain for many for its potent effects and medicinal properties. The name “Headband” comes from the feeling of a light pressure around the head, much like wearing a headband, which is the most common reported effect of smoking this strain.

Effects

Headband packs a punch with its average THC level of 16-20%. Be sure to take it slow with this strain, as it can take some time for the effects to kick in, and it is easy to take too much. The effects are a powerful combination of body and mind relaxation, with strong cerebral effects and a feeling of euphoria. You may find yourself feeling a bit couch-locked with this strain, so it’s best to enjoy it in the evening.

Medical Benefits

Headband is great for treating a variety of medical conditions. Many users report relief from stress, depression, pain, headaches and migraines, nausea, and hyperactivity. It’s important to note that inexperienced users may find the head high to be overwhelming, causing headaches and paranoia.

Appearance, Aroma, and Taste

Headband buds are small and nugget-shaped, with pale-green leaves that may include shades of purple. The trichomes on the surface give the buds a silver-white glisten. Its scent is a pleasant mix of diesel and earth, with hints of lemon. When smoked, it is smooth and enhanced by the sweet taste of lemon and diesel. Head
