Harlequin reviews

Wow no high feeling with all the pain relief! It's like the best ibuprofin ever. The heavy smoke leaves me with a hot chest and a little dry mouth afterwards.

A wonderful day-time bud, especially if you suffer from any kind of chronic pain yet need to get some creative/intellectual/physical work done. The variant I purchased was titled "Harly OG," and I don't know whether any of its characteristics differ from those with the more typical "Harlequin" labels out there, but it certainly gets the job done! I wouldn't call this strain a strict Sativa, though; it feels a lot more like a hybrid, given that its Sativa THC percentage is so low, and its high CBD content alleviates anxiety issues often caused by strong Sativa strains. My only gripe is that this strain does leave you a little foggy and head-heavy, so if you're planning to take Harlequin before work, it may slow you down bit ( this is the only reason I'm giving this strain 4 stars instead of 5). All in all, a great CBD-rich strain, either used alone or--my favorite--mixed with a pure night-time, pain-free, sleepyhead indica.

A friend of mine grew this for some cancer patients he knew. They unfortunately all died within months of each other and he had a few pounds left over so knowing I was suffering from poverty brought on by disability, spinal cord injuries, PTSD, clinical depression, and that never ending pain from my back he gifted me a sizable portion. It was such a blessing. It smokes smooth it doesn't smell up the place like a pine forest stuck in a skunks butt, and I can function on it. It gets me just high enough, smooths out the pain issues so I can function without aggravation and relaxes me when I start to have a panic attack. Truly a wonderful medicine. Not for stoner bros looking to chill and get wicked fried. This is an adult weed like a fine wine that is made to be savored and pleasing not a bottle of Ripple to get you ripped.

Harlequin is high in CBD which is fantastic, but I personally sometimes don't mix too well with sativa-dominant strains. For the first 30 minutes Harlequin has a head high that can sometimes spin me into my anxiety, but once it moves into the body high, it's actually great. I have also wondered if cannabis is sometimes meant to help us dive down into some of our fear/anxiety to heal it. In any case, there's always a little "processing" for me at the start with Harlequin. Not my first choice high CBD strain, but I'll smoke it if it's around.

This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for!!!! Excellent pain relief and a wonderful body high from the neck down! No couch-lock, no la-la land (although that's great sometimes), no paranoia. Great earthy flavor but not too strong. This is real medicine for people who want relief while keeping their head on straight and want to be productive or carry a lucid conversation without getting stuck on the amazing sound and meaning of the word "quench". Absolutely my new go-to!

I haven't been able to handle cannabis for a decade, as it makes me anxious, nauseous, paranoid, and gives me headaches (including CBD without THC.) Harlequin is my medicine. I never thought I would say that about cannabis or a Sativa. My symptoms: anxiety, depression, migraines, allergies, panic attacks, PTSD, neuropathic pain down my leg and foot from HSV, coccyx and pelvic pain. I recently followed inituition and asked a friend to smoke. Using muscle testing I picked out Harlequin. I've been smoking a hit or two each day since. It reduces my anxiety and pain, it relaxes my whole body and mind, I have energy to stretch and practice yoga. I don't feel high or lose track of time. I'm so excited about this medicine, and I look forward to acquiring a vape for this, to smoking before going running, and to see how my overall mind and body health is in a few months with daily use. Something interesting is that I lose my appetite with this.

To say this has changed my life is certainly a understatement. A little about me. I was a professional athlete for the first 15 years of my life. I had a total knee replacement at 15. I'm now 32 years old and my body feels all I put it through at a young age. I was not a smoker, I always had a bad reaction to pot and had decided it was not my thing. Then it became legal in Washington State and much more info came out. I learned about CBD and it's health benefits. I've tried a few CBD heavy strains and this is BY FAR THE BEST. My pain (nerve pain) has went down to the point I am able to do things I couldn't do in years. My stress and social anxiety has gotten so much better. I'm a extrovert, with social anxiety... do you have any idea how stressful that is!? I have currently only used the flower and smoked, but even a little bit and I'm so much better. I plan to get a cart for either my Peal or Pax Era Vape if I can find it. But honestly for me, the flower is more manageable, this is not a strain to "get high" on. So unless you are treating your pain and stress through out the day. I'd stick to this as more of your standard medicating. I use it in the mornings before work and then before bed. I keep a little one hitter in my back in a cig case for those "middle of the day pain break through" moments.

This is a hard strain to evaluate the strength of, because it isn't that conventionally stoney. Mentally, there's not that much of a sense of being 'high'. Coexisting with that, though there's some bodily sense of being completely blasted. It's like there's a CBD aspect of a conventional weed's effect, and a THC aspect. Harlequin has the CBD aspect beat all to hell, and is an utter wimp in the THC aspect. So smoking this for the first time might be a strange experience, like it was for me. The effect on pain is really remarkable for something that feels like weird junk weed. What's great about it is after the weenie little head high has petered out (maybe 15 minutes) the CBDs are still going strong for a couple more hours. Sometimes though I've had Harlequin not work on pain at all, until I have a whiff of something higher in THC. Then the pain relief will come in. That's worth trying if Harlequin isn't making it for you. I haven't had this as a medible, tincture, or topical (or better yet RSO), but I think it would be fabulous this way.
