Great high with out all the head high or pressure. Great pain relief. Nice taste and odor. One of my top 3 choices no matter what and above all others. Harliquin by Dama Review.
Harliquin- I had a thick head buzz with a slight headach, nothing like the Harlequin by Dama which I give a top review on.
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 : )
Rating this strain is difficult for me because I have heard nothing but good things about it; so I'm sure Harlequin is wonderful- however, for myself, I found that it brought about some intense anxiety and uncomfortable introspection. Physically, my heart was racing way too fast and all around I just felt BAD, and I was praying for the effects to wear off. Now, I suffer from PTSD, and certain strains are capable of throwing me into anxiety, paranoia, uncomfortable self-consciousness and hyper-vigilance. I have seen that after discussing with a budtender that I have PTSD and am prone to the symptoms mentioned above; alot of budtenders, in their recommendations, tend to gravitate towards high cbd strains- generally also low in thc. Well, what I have figured out about this is that a strain high in cbd low in thc does NOT automatically make it appropriate or compatible with someone suffering from PTSD and/or anxiety, hyper-vigilance, social-akwardness whatever etc. I hope more budtenders learn to identify compatible terpenes and cannabinoids and make recommendations that way. I have found high thc strains, sativas, and sativa dominant ones that do wonders for me,(Bruce Banner3) though indicas and indica dom. hybrids carry the majority of my favorites (Obama and Apple Kush, and GSC for example)and i believe its a matter of the particular strains having specific traits that complement my psychology and physiology and are just generally compatible. To be fair, though, everyone is different. Everyone's experience is different; so it's very difficult to guess what will happen between a specific strain and person. You've pretty much got to try it out... Hope this helps somebody out there! And again, I chose 3 stars because it didn't agree with ME, but I know that Harlequin deserves her 5 stars with other patients. Thanks!

I’ve never been a MMJ enjoyer but I have suffered from Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Arthritis, edema, migraines, cluster headaches and much more for a long time now. I was getting tired of all the medications that I was on and that they were constantly going up in dosage and I still wasn’t able to get under a 4-5 (on a good day) on the pain scale level.
So I began my research. I literally spent a day going through the strains, reviews, effects etc and writing down which ones were 1st or 2nd in the pain relief and low to none on the euphoria end (with Fibromyalgia and Lupus you already have a “foggy” head similar to being high and I didn’t want it worse).
The first one I decided to try was Harlequin. So, I purchased some that was produced by Fat Daddy Sacks. Has a CBD of 13.15 and THC of 11.19 (more THC than I originally wanted but the reviews made me try it).
So, I went home and my husband rolled me a joint (like I said I wasn’t a smoker). I had IMMEDIATE relief from the headache I had that was trying to go to a migraine, the Fibromyalgia pain, the arthritis pain and I was (for the first time in a LONG time) at a 2 on the pain scale (I was carefully smoking because I wasn’t sure about the effects it’d have on me).
The benefits of this strain is amazing for me. It doesn’t make me hungry, it is literally the ONLY thing that takes away the arthritis pain and I don’t have to take any pain meds while smoking this strain. It has made my life so much better.
It’s smooth to smoke, tastes good upon exhale, doesn’t give me cotton mouth, too much give me some euphoria but it’s not like you’d get couch locked and your mind is still clear. Well, as clear as us Fibro/Lupus peeps get.
I totally recommend this to all my friends who have chronic pain (and anyone else I come across).

This strain really is the pinnacle of medicinal cannabis right now, in terms of flower at least. If you're looking to just get as high as possible like from your college days then look for a different strain. But if you're looking to truly be using cannabis as a part of your wellness routine, then this is the #1 strain that you want to try. The unique almost 5:2 ratio of CBD:THC in this strain cannot be found anywhere else, and more and more research is showing the synergistic effects these two have together. They work much, much better together than when alone.
Most "normal" strains of cannabis these days are all THC, since everyone just wants to get high, and other CBD strains such as Cannotonic are pretty much all CBD with little to no THC.
Harlequin is a game changer, if you're hesitant at all and looking for medical relief, please, please try this!!
Harlequin is low THC at usually 7%, but very high in CBD's at around 13%, it's great for people for are in pain and for me I use it after going to the gym, it makes my muscles feel so free and legitimately feels good to move my body around, still get high but it's a lot more relaxing and not too incapacitating.
Acquired a cross of Harlequin and Very Berry done by Fire Bros. at Fremont Gardens in Seattle. 12% CBD/ 4% THC. Smells strongly of hazelnut, almost like Nutella, with a hint of strawberry jam. Like a PB&J sandwich. Looks very golden with ruddy orange hairs and moderate trichome coverage. Smoke from a bong is very smooth, no irritation in the throat. Tastes earthy, nutty, and woodsy, with strawberry coming through on the exhale. Has a super functional CBD high, lightly energizing with increased focus, great for starting your day. I have serious chronic pain due to repeated motion injuries, and about 10 minutes after consuming this, the pain is almost gone completely. I also suffer from severe anxiety and panic attacks, and this puts me in a very calm state, acts as a bufffer against things that would normally send me into a spiral of negative anxious thoughts. Being so naturally tightly wound, I can't enjoy many high THC/sativa leaning strains, but if I smoke this as a precursor, the CBD mellows out their high THC content without detracting from their unique effects. This is a valuable flower, truly medicinal. Big ups to Fremont Gardens for carrying this, you guys are the best!
What a find! This is the first strain I had ever tried. The high CBD allowed me to function during the day, and yet, allowed my severe Neuropathy to dissapear.
It gives a small, almost untraceable head high that basically leaves you feeling like you didn't smoke anything.
It made me extremely talkative, without physical pain, and allowed me to feel happy, and excited to be alive. I have PTSD, anxiety, and Panic disorder, which seemed to slip away amidst the use of Harlequin
I would suggest this to anyone who may be looking for a "Starter" for first time CBD use.
