Headband (CAM)

Headband Medical Marijuana Strain Review

From:  Colorado Alternative Medicine (CAM)

Grade:  A-

Type:  Sativa-dominant hybrid, unknown lineage

Price: $50/8th

Appearance:  (7/10) Huge yellowish-green calyxes, packed with solid, sugar like crystals.  Breaks up real easy to the touch; exploding with keef throughout the nug.

Aroma:  (7/10) Diesel smell is very apparent, with a hint of a very fruity berry like scent.

Taste:  (6/10) Tastes earthy and piney (kush taste) on exhale.  The smoke is a bit spicy that is sure to make you choke.

Medicine Type:  The medicine is wonderful.  Very tranquil with an excellent blend of both Sativa and Indica.  Strong euphoric head buzz that is accompanied with a body blow.  Makes me feel very wobbly and places the familiar “headband” right around the top of the noggin’.

Medicine Length:  Long. 2 hours

Medicinal Use:  (We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY) Upper shoulder-neck feels almost an instant relaxation and feels almost like there is a heating pad on them.  No anxiety or nervousness, but a little trippy and potentially paranoia inducing.

Overall:  These keefy little nuggets will just crumble into glistening aromatic medicine when handled.  A perfect blend of both medicine types makes “Head Band” an instant favorite.  I really love the genetics of this strain.  Many breed with OG Kush x Sour Diesel and cross back to Sour Diesel, and others have included other genetics such as Master Kush.  I can really feel and taste the Sour Diesel from the real euphoric onset and strong smell, but also feel a deep relaxation throughout my body.  Tried a few other Head Bands, but this one is grown very proper, showing off its beautiful characteristics to the fullest.  Would absolutely pick this specimen up again.

    I have tried all but one or two of the strains you have reviewed from CAM, and have to say you are mostly spot on. You guys are super picky, but that’s what finding the absolute best is about. The golden goat you had sounded like it had gone a little too long, but I have never had that issue with the gg. Thanks a ton the reviews help a lot of people I’m sure.

    Hey SandwichMaster,

    Thank you for the comment! It’s always great to hear that our reviews are jiving with the experiences of our readers. We have a fairly difficult job trying to analyze strains/hash/edibles based on the individual experiences of multiple reviewers with different physiology, body size, medical needs, tastes, etc. Glad to hear that it’s mostly working, though we’re always trying to improve our methods and results to get the best information possible out to MMJ patients.

    Headband is a cross of OG Kush, Master Kush, and Sour Diesel. Technically indica dom.

    Actually, that’s the 707 Headband, which was created later. And though that one has more Indica genetics in it, it’s still not Indica-dominant… OG Kush and Sour Diesel are both Sativa-dominant, and the Diesel shines through most strongly in the 707, hence the aroma.
