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!
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.
Nice high CBD strain that provided long pain relief and great body high.

A great happy, clean high that melts away pain and anxiety.
My wife and I fired this up after a trip to the Denver Zoo. We're still getting used to the altitude, so we were pretty exhausted after a full day of walking around. We picked up an 1/8th from Good Chemistry and went home.
The first few hits from a bowl produced a quick relief to our minor aches and fatigue. Further hits increased euphoria, as well as made me more and more focused (tunnel vision).
We kept smoking all night while watching Amadeus. It made a 2 hour movie engaging and relaxing.
Definitely recommended for a social experience and for pain relief.
Ok. medical marijuana is the best for pain and depression. But I ALWAYS get extreme paranoid. I just took a few hits of HQ and I'm floored!! This is the most amazing strain out there. The high CBD counteracts the paranoid 100%. I have a very bad back and suffer from bipolar. This strain is the best for both issues. I've had 3 back operations and live on pain meds and this strain works better than any of them. And again....... anyone who really needs medical marijuana but doesn't due to paranoia do yourself a favor and get some of this. I am using a vape cartrage and took two nice hits and I'm perfect!!! YOU MUST TRY THIS STRAIN!.
super relaxing and pleasant! my brain feels quite clear which is a huge plus for me. my muscles feel relaxed while i still am able to get up and do day to day things with ease. perfect for me to be hanging out, whether it’s getting ready for bed or just going about my day.
Been looking all over for this strain and I finally found it! I wanted to try a strain that has a higher Cbd ratio and this one was perfect. It has a super calming and relaxing effect and I can smoke a bowl of it without being zoinked out of my gourd.
