Harlequin reviews

This is an amazing strain if you suffer from chronic pain. The main purpose that I used this strain for is anxiety and PTSD. This strain is low in THC, however, you will steal a slight impairment if you smoke enough. I am kind of sensitive to high THC strains, so, this one is very controllable and isn’t going to get you too high for where you can’t function, have a conversation, etc. I am going to be back for a full 1g of this stuff ASAP! Bottom line, I full recommend for pain, anxiety, and PTSD AND need to be highly functional and alert.

I suffer from debilitating OCD/anxiety and chronic back pain. Most strains (even those around 1:1) usually make the OCD/anxiety worse...the obsessive thoughts bounce around like a pinball machine. Some of the other higher CBD:THC strains I've tried have not had much effect. Harlequin, on the other hand, seems to be the answer for me. It's just enough to take the edge off, but doesn't launch me into full blown paranoia. It is also excellent for treating the back pain!

Great strain I just tried the 3-1 alpine cartridge and I must say “wow”. The best CBD stain I have tried. I have been medicating with CBD for the past year and I must say that this is the best strain. I have spurs of anxiety and this strain has allowed me to relax and be myself.

Interesting smoke. Eventhough the thc content is much lower than some other medicines, It still alters your state. Relaxing, mellow, calming, very nice mild high with body relaxing tones. I had been medicating with mostly sativas, green crak, sour diesel, jack herrer , blue dream...harlequin wont get you HIgh like those, but it will mellow you and make your pain not seem so bad...

I consume bud at a rate of an eighth to a quad per month. In my college days that was a weekly rate. I by no means consider myself a big smoker, but I've certainly tried a lot of varieties. CBD strains like Harlequin took me out of a long, long break from smoking. I had become paranoid or anxious from basically any strain, indica or sativa, for something like 2 years. The CBD strains have eased me back into the joy of THC strains and let me experience the medicinal effects of marijuana. Harlequin is especially fun because it never makes me lazy (often yields productivity), promotes creativity (e.g. I produce music and technical knowledge seems to come out of me more freely), and makes sweet love making even sweeter : )

Look: Mid green color with tons of red hairs. It looked like herb. :) which is always good. Touch: Mid size buds, solid but not dense and fluffy but not too airy. Smell: Sweet and Fruity. Very pleasant. Smells like herb, which is good. Taste: Not the best tasting cannabis. First drag tasted good, the rest were a bit harsh. Decent taste off and on throughout the smoke. The Smoke: Grinder/Joint - semi- harsh smoke. The effects came on about 10-15 minutes after first drag. An hour later, I forget the semi-harsh smoke because the CBD kicked in. Effect: Happy, Euphoric, Laughing at the Bing Bang Theory and the Pete Holmes Show. I feel a bit more of the THC than I expected. Definitely felt the CBD. Started feeling relaxed and mentally stimulated at the same time. Before smoke: Tight neck and shoulders. Inflammation from Arthritis. Specifically back, ankles, hips, hands and fingers. Sore muscles from heavy walking. General surge of anxiety throughout my body. After smoke: I still felt tight in neck and shoulders. After 20 minutes the effects started to sink in. After an hour, my body felt very relaxed in an uncomfortable sitting position. Good sign. I would have been constantly adjusting my body to find comfort, if not for this flower. My pain is there but it's not there. I can be aware of it, but it doesn't bother me. When I laid down, I felt very relaxed. Conclusion: This strain was advertised as 8.12% CBD & 4.19% THC, I would say that is about right. I would prefer a 10% or more CBD and less that 4% THC. If I vaporized or smoked out of a bubbler or smoked more, I may of had more of a relief.

This strain is perfect for beginner smokers with a low tolerance. I bought a cartridge of this and it has met all my expectations! I wanted something I could easily dose. If i take one hit of my pen, I’m a good high for about two hours, able to perform duties like working and driving etc it immediately gives you this burst of energy and awareness. The highness is equivalent to taking two Xanax pills minus the drowsy feeling. If I take 2-3 hits I’m a goofy high with the munchies and probably should not be out in public lol! But overall it’s a nice controlled body high, nothing too heavy which is what I like! If you suffer from anxiety this is def a strain for you or also just stressed, it’s really makes you feel chill and content.

From my teens until my early twenties I was a daily smokers until something happened in my life resulting in my development of PTSD. My anxiety got worse and worse and I started having random panic attacks. My attacks got so bad that I had one which resulted in a complete change of my perception and mindset. I was completely messed up and had to go on medication. Fast forward 20 years and I’m still on the same medication and while my anxiety is greatly reduced, I developed a horrible depression. It got so bad that I had to quit my job, I can’t eat, I sleep like 12 hours a day and can’t even keep up my hygiene. I had been wanting to use Cannabis to help me but it would severely trigger my anxiety every time. I was so afraid to ever try again until I read a review here by someone in the exact same position as me and recommended Harlequin. I bless that person because they have turned my life around. Harlequin is a Sativa with (although they say 5:2 CBD:THC ) about a 2:1 CBD:THC ratio. At least this is the ratio I see it the most at. The flower I smoke is about 11% CBD to 5.5 THC. Anyway if you take 3 good hits you’ll notice a nice warmth in the back of the neck that moves to your forehead and the rest of the body. If you smoke enough there is a slight head change but even then it is completely calming and anxiety reducing. Being a Sativa it gives you a little boost of energy and motivation with any hint of paranoia or anxiety and makes want to get out and enjoy the beautiful day. I never thought I’d ever be able to smoke again let alone be on a path to getting off my medication very soon. So thank you to the person who wrote that review and thank you Harlequin!
