Headband Strain Overview

Headband, or “Sour Kush,” as it is also known, is a fairly balanced cultivar created by DNA Genetics. Its parents, OG Kush and Sour Diesel, give the Headband weed strain its citrus-earthy flavor. Many say it is named aptly after its most recognizable effect, a “headband” feeling around the head after consuming it.

Diesel and lemon flavors provide instant palatable pleasure, while the potent THC percentage, ranging from 17% to 27%, may provide a powerful cerebral and physical massage.

Headband Strain Effects & Common Usage

With an average THC between 17% and 27%, Headband is a popular choice among consumers who want to experience pain and stress relief with a dose of creativity.

Euphoric. THC may promote feelings of euphoria via dopamine production.

Creative. The citrus aroma of limonene may leave you feeling extra creative.

Uplifted. Some studies show that caryophyllene and limonene have demonstrated potential mood-enhancing qualities.

Anxiety. The stress-relieving potential of limonene may be attributed to its influence on mood disorders such as anxiety. Bisabolol may also produce anti-anxiety effects.

Depression. Terpenes like limonene and caryophyllene have the potential to boost mood, potentially improving symptoms of depression.

Pain. The terpenes caryophyllene, humulene, and limonene have potential anti-inflammatory properties and may help relieve pain.

Headband Strain Dosage Recommendations

Just 1 to 2 puffs of the Headband weed strain should do the trick for experienced consumers. Beginners should start with a single puff and work up to prevent dry eyes and mouth.

The right dosage can vary greatly from one user to the next. If you have questions about finding the right dosage or product type for your needs, consider consulting with a medical cannabis doctor, or you can request a consultation with NuggMD’s Cannabis Concierge.
