This review is actually for 818 Headband. Taste isn't super-diesel oriented, but this batch is leaning toward the sativa side like a champ. In fact, this is one of my go-to "get shit done" strains.
made me very aroused and very euphoric. at time was crying tears of joy. literally
I suffer from migraine headaches and this gets rid off them!
Since my prescription medicine typically costs me 40 dollars per pill, This is a miracle for me.
This gets rid of my pain, gives me lots of energy. It is not great for people who get paranoia or anxiety when they smoke (which I do)
I can deal with this though because it gets rid of my pain. :-)
STRONG. Not for beginners. It's an intense, almost trippy high with legs - so you keep going for hours. It can give you a serious next-day fog, so keep that in mind.
It's very potent, almost too potent for many people I know. Again, not for the newbie.
Initial impression: I stuck my head into the gigantic glass container, took a big whiff and sighed with relief. The pungent, citrus earthy aroma was strong and inviting. I purchased this pre-rolled joint from Medicine Man Medical Market in Glendale, CO. Was just looking for a strain that would give me a decent buzz. Fell a little short, and here is why--->
I use a scale of 10 points, 10 being the highest possible score in any category, with 3 total categories, Taste / Aroma / Potency.
Aroma: 8.0
As stated above, this is one of the more pleasant cannabis aromas I have smelled. It has an earthy base to it, with rather pungent overtones of skunk and mild citrus tang to it. Aesthetically, I liked the compact tight buds, had an almost crystal sheen to the buds, pretty neat to look at.
Taste: 6.5
It definitely did not taste like it smelled. Not to say that the cannabis tasted bad, or funky. It was really quite pleasant, just not the tastiest I have ever had. Lets put it this way, I'd hit it if someone passed it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it. The taste had lemon/ citrus undertones, a an earthy/skunky overtone and an earthy waft; again a pleasant strain, but certainly not the best or my favorite. I will however give this strain a another try, maybe I got a weak plant, who knows. This strain is worth another try, after all some of the best shatter I have ever had is Headband.
Potency: 7.5
The high was mellow and easy going, not like some of the other strains where I felt like my head is in the clouds. It was nice, put me in the zone for a little Play Station Gran Turismo 5 work, not bragging, just a fact, took 2nd overall in the GT world A-Spec Champion. That should give you a sufficient description on how focused I was.
Final opinion: This strain was grown very well, I will definitely look for this strain again for one more try, my fingers are crosses for hopeful improvement.
Total points awarded: 22 out of 30, definitely a middle of the road strain.

What we have in Illinois(Chicago-land area) is strawberry headband or 707 headband. This is the review for strawberry headband which comes in at 18.95% TCH. This strain definitely lives up to the status of hybrid . The first 30-45 mins is a sativa feeling uplifting and after that the sinking couch feeling of the indica sets in. A perfect strain for just before bed , when you have a few things to finish up, but then want to relax and be pain free

I've giggled one to many times on the many marijuana strains I've smoked but never, I repeat, NEVER have I laughed like I did this particular night. I couldn't look people in the eyes because of I did I would burst into such tremendous laughter you'd think I was, well, high. This isn't a good strain to smoke if you want to concentrate on something in particular and it hardly makes your mind wander to much but you are filled with such euphoric energy that it does wonders for depression! I tested something out while feeling the effects of this strain. Now it might be a little strange but I'll let you know anyway because I believe it might be important to some: I had a raw cut on my lip and I bit down on it, I bit harder and harder until I finally felt the pain and it took a while to get to that point. I woke up the next day with a pretty bad cut on the same spot that was the previous day just a little patch of raw skin. Needless to say, it works wonders on pain. I mean, who needs Vicodin when you can get so much more out this natural strain right? Loved it! Definitely gonna go hunting for this strain again soon!
One of the strongest hybrid strains in existence, headband will leave you DESTROYED. In small doses it can leave you feeling uplifted and energetic, but in larger doses couch-lock will take effect. It's usually a very dense and great smelling bud, and if you haven't tried it, you need to get with the program.
