Purple Headband

Purple Headband, also known as Royal Purple Headband, is a hybrid strain that leans slightly towards indica. This strain is a cross between two potent strains, Headband and an unknown purple variety, which gives it its unique color and name. Purple Headband has a moderate THC content, averaging around 20%, but it can sometimes reach up to 24%. The strain is approximately 60% indica and 40% sativa, making it a balanced hybrid that offers the best of both worlds.

It is also known to stimulate appetite, making it potentially beneficial for those dealing with appetite loss. The flavor profile of Purple Headband is a delightful mix of sweet, berry, and earthy tones, with a hint of spice on the exhale.

Chronic Pain, Muscle Pain and Other Types of Pain

Cannabis contains compounds known as cannabinoids, with the most well-known being delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). These compounds interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating pain.

THC has analgesic properties that can help reduce pain, while CBD can help reduce inflammation, a common cause of many types of pain. Additionally, cannabis can help improve sleep, which can, in turn, help manage chronic pain conditions. Some studies have shown that medical cannabis can help replace or reduce the use of opioids for pain management.
