Humboldt Headband Marijuana Strain

Humboldt Headband’s a pretty heavy-hitting hybrid that leans a bit indica. It comes out of Humboldt County and it’s a local twist on the classic Headband strain — that’s OG Kush crossed with Sour Diesel. Most batches test around 20% THC, so it’s on the stronger side. The smell hits first — loud diesel and citrus, with a bit of earthy spice underneath. When you smoke it, you taste that same lemon-fuel flavor, but it smooths out on the exhale into something kind of creamy and kushy. The buds look tight and frosty, sometimes with a little purple if it’s grown right. The high creeps in with that classic “headband” pressure around your temples — not uncomfortable, just noticeable. The first wave is pretty cerebral and uplifting, kind of makes you chatty or creative. After a bit, it drifts into a mellow body relaxation that doesn’t knock you out unless you overdo it. At higher doses, yeah, it’ll put you on the couch. Most people say it’s good for stress, pain, or winding down without crashing. But it’s potent, so if you’re new to high-THC strains, it’s easy to overdo it. You’ll get dry mouth and eyes for sure, and maybe a little dizziness if you hit it too hard. Growing-wise, it’s a strong, aromatic plant — big trichome production, solid yields, and it does great outdoors in the right climate.

I've had psoriatic arthritis since I was five yrs old and migraines since 17. My migraines became chronic and daily at 42. There is not a day that goes by that I"m not in pain 24/7. When my migraines are really bad I go to headband for relief. I don't know if it's like this in the rest of the country but in New York the strains are cyclic so when the Headband strain is gone I'm at a loss for pain relief when the migraines are severe.. I've tried 707 Headband but it doesn't help as much. I tried Humboldt headband for the first time today and holy crap and thank you Jesus! Not only did it get rid of my migraine within minutes it also got rid of 97% of my body pain. That has never happened before. Very euphoric with a happy, upbeat feeling along with nice body relaxation. I didn't find couch lock or super sleepiness. This train came in at 25% Strong strain so if you are a newbie take it slow. I'm a daily medical smoker for chronic pain fibromyalgia and chronic migraines. 10 out of 10!
