AMAZING!! Words can’t even begin to describe what I want to say because there isn’t really a feeling to describe but what I want to say is I suffer from severe depression like to the point of times where I think about hurting myself or wanting to hurt others and I was at the point with a firearm in my hand and alls I did was smoke one bowl and everything just disappeared in seconds. I originally bought to see if it would help with my little syncopal episodes I have once in a while but I also suffer from ptsd and depression and this magically bag tricks all in one 😂so for a light smoker or someone not really having a lot going on I wouldn’t say this would be helpful or noticeable but for someone who’s having some severe issues and there day to day life is truly effected I would give this strain a try and see how it goes, always start small and work your way up because you can always take more but can’t un-take anything lol
As a Crohn's Disease patient, I've experienced more than my share of pain and discomfort in my 20 year diagnosis. I'm a newly prescribed cannabis user and this particular strain changes my life on a daily basis. I was told 1:1 ratio is essential for Crohn's relief and this is dead on truth.
With Pennywise I experience less pain, less digestive symptoms, more clarity than other strains. This is the only one that makes me feel better without being out-of-it like other strains. The lady on the phone at my dispensery nailed it with her description: "a comfortable body-high with a clear head". Despite being afraid of clowns, I'm glad I tried Pennywise ;)

Pennywise is an amazing strain to help with inducing munchies, relieving body aches, headaches, and over all the sense of feeling ill. Nice, and relaxing body high, with a clarifying mind high. I would really recommend Pennywise if you have the flu, food poisoning, a cold or just anything causing you to feel blue.
Great strain w/ some unusual characteristics: comes on like a sativa (bright, smoothly upbeat lift), nicely mitigated by the CBD, so there's no anxiousness. A few hours later the indica aspects kicked in and found myself happily lulled into the best, coziest sleep I've had in ages. This might be a new nighttime go-to. Ideal for evenings when you want to unwind at a steady pace
I new to using marijuana and this strain was just what I was looking for to help my PTSD, anxiety, and depression. No racing heart, slight head high, and feel total relaxed. For me it’s not something I could smoke then want to go out it’s definitely a sit on the couch and scroll through Pinterest. I didn’t have any negative effects which I am prone to, usually any change in the way I feel freaks me out but this was great. Usually I struggle with nightmares to the point where I cry in my sleep and since starting to experiment with marijuana I haven’t had a single nightmare. Before using pennywise I used Cannatonic with a very little bit of blueberry but pennywise is way better.
Perhaps Illinois strand is stronger than most because my bottle comes in at 17% THC. These nugs are thick and heavy, Breaking down almost into a powder. Perfect for joint rolling. The Effects I have experienced are that of a very mild Indica. It's definitely not a strand that you want to use if you have an active day ahead of you. However I'm not so couch lock that I can't get up. Perfect for "chilling" all day , laying down without having to do much.
Pennywise is THE ideal strain for managing day time pain. It's CBD to THC ratio is more balanced that other strains with a slightly higher CBD%. By itself, PW will gently ease low to moderate pain levels of 1 to maybe 5, if you're familiar with the happy/sad pain chart. Combine a high CBD editable, like the gold foiled taffy with upwards of 80mg CBD, to help severe or chronic pain levels of 6 or higher . If your goal is pain management without lethargy, Pennywise may just be your marijuana soul mate, too.
P.S. Figuring out what about Pennywise works for me has increased my understanding of my own chemistry and how to identify other strains to try. I now know to look for strains with similar 1:1 ratios if I don't want to feel sleepy. If this sounds like something you want to try there are two other strains I've tried with similar ratios: Charlotte's Web and Nebula. Though I find Pennywise to be the most effective with the least amount of crash.
Thank you to the growers of this awesome strain!
