Headband reviews
Had an unopened eighth that was 1.5 years old. Was skeptical that it would still be good. Opened the well-sealed package to find the nugs looking as good as if they were harvested yesterday. Took 2 hits with my dry herb vape and within minutes I felt the "headband effect" of slight tightness around my forehead. At first I thought I was too high, but within 10 minutes it settled down into a nice, relaxing buzz that enabled me to focus on my work and get things done. Didn't make me tired or hungry. Going to try it in my volcano to see what happens. A good strain for anxiety, muscular pain and relaxation.

Really nice texture with little over bite. Stoney balconie my bromide. High resolution buzz, go get some.
I don’t usually write reviews, but after trying Headband for the first time, I felt compelled to. The cerebral high hits fast and strong, followed by a smooth, full-body sensation that had me impressed from the very first moment. This strain truly delivers when it comes to relieving pain and easing anxiety. While it didn’t leave me couch-locked, it had me chill as f—yet still clear-headed and ready to take on anything if needed. Safe to say, I’ll definitely be picking this one up again.
This is the first, and so far, only strain I've grown myself and smoked after harvesting. The high is overall quite pleasant. You feel out of it and a little discombobulated, but you don't feel like you are having too many uncomfortable thoughts or feelings in my experience. Definitely feels like you are wearing a headband when you smoke this strain. I recommend smoking this strain with friends as I've only had fun experiences when doing so.
I had never tried it but was at the green door in seattle and needed some more flower at a better price point and the owner suggested it. Mine says 29% total cannibinoids
I really like it. Recovering from spinal surgery and it is the best pain relief yet. Made tea out of some as well.
I miss it so much. Can't get it anymore. Best I ever had - no contest
no anxiety, just pure vibes. good any time you need a boost and want a novel body high (tingly headband)
pretty good for the cold I currently have, cleared my nose up
I was advised to try this strain after visiting the dispensary in search of something else. They suggested it as an alternative, but once I got home, I quickly realized it was nothing like what I had been smoking before. Headband is quite an unusual strain for me. After using it, all I wanted to do was relax on my couch, watch a movie, and remain perfectly still. It doesn’t induce sleepiness but rather creates a sensation that makes you want to just soak in music, enjoy a film, and let the high wash over you.
I didn’t experience any complex layers to the high; it felt more like a subdued, low-key effect. The Headband strain definitely left a noticeable tightness around my forehead. It’s a heavy high that makes it clear you’re not going to be tackling any chores anytime soon. I wouldn’t recommend this strain to anyone who prefers a more uplifting sativa-dominant hybrid or who likes to socialize while smoking. Additionally, I found the smoke to be quite harsh on my lungs, at least with the flower I had. I personally didn't find this strain particularly ground breaking, so I don’t think I would choose it again. There are other strains that deliver a better experience, both in terms of clarity and overall quality. While it does promote better sleep and vivid dreams, many strains offer similar effects. Headband isn't bad, but... isn't shining either.
