I’ve reviewed this headband before but I wanted to give a fresh take since it’s a different batch. This is not like any other Headband floating around Canada. This one is essentially a very uplifting pure OG Kush cutting with a tumultuous past hence her history is somewhat shrouded. I’ve heard it called 56 day OG and No-Name-OG but it’s been referred to as Headband for many years. This one was very well grown by Poncho Farms.
As this is my third time trying this cutting, I feel I have some authority in saying it’s absolutely something special. The flowers may have been smaller this round (my heaviest bud was about 2 grams) but her size was reconciled with other high qualities. The buds were dense but not rock hard, sticky when broken down, and shaped like classic OG.
When I say this weed smells good, I’m not really doing it justice. The nose is earthy, sweet and almost candied at times. Think rotten lemons as well as lemon pledge, with a tail end of OG gas. As it cured out, it developed all sorts of lovely little sub-smells such as ginger ale, mint, skunky hops and peaches. I found the taste similar to the smell. Mouth coating earthy lemon funk with OG gas at the end. This is extremely delicious and clean burning cannabis.
When I say this weed is potent, I don’t say that lightly. Massive expansion with a hard hit to the solar plexus can be expected. I felt this one in my ears, jaw, arms and legs within a few minutes. It can definitely induce anxiety and heart palpitations during the “coming up phase” but as the experience transitions into the “plateau phase”, there is a very noticeable shift in the buzz. While confusing, intense and disorienting at first, the feeling morphs into something more euphoric and relaxing over the course of 20-30 minutes. As time passes, she gets more and more narcotic all the while seeming to last forever. When I started smoking this one, I was getting high for 3 hours easy. After a bit of tolerance build up (strong emphasis on A BIT), the buzz lasts closer to 2.5 hours.
I feel it deeper in the body this round vs a more punchy head high when taken earlier. One effect I love is my mouth feels like it’s being stretched into a perma-smile. The buzz is extremely good as a depression killer and an appetite stimulator. I also personally find it good for sleep but I know it keeps some people awake. The high can be thought provoking, especially if overdone. It would be great for treating, muscle spasms, pain, nausea, MS and other majorly disruptive disorders. For these reasons, this lady should be thought of as more of a potent daytime hybrid than a night time knockout.
This batch of Headband comes with a warning, just like all batches before her. I have been seriously reviewing cannabis for the past 14 years and this is the most potent hybrid I’ve come across. If you have a low tolerance, be very careful. I heard about a friend of the grower greening out just from smoking the shake. As far as pure OG Kush cuttings go, this one is more on the sativa end of the spectrum. It’s not the best for getting knocked out but for getting high as all get-out, you needn’t look no further.
