Harlequin reviews

I am someone who frequently experiences anxiety and paranoia when using cannabis. Now that I live in a legal state I've been able to try many different strains to figure out which ones I can and can't tolerate. After much experimentation I've concluded that Harlequin is the ONLY one that I've had consistently positive experiences with. Some others are hit and miss and some induced such awful anxiety the first time that I never tried them again. I highly recommend this strain for anyone looking to relieve anxiety. It's amazing!

This was a very clear headed, warm and tingly sort of high. There was a little bit of disassociation but it was not that bad at all. I had a good time on it. The loss of pain is fantastic. I was able to pick up 24 packs of coke and puppy chow -something that would normally be excruciating. It lasted around 4 hours for me the first half hour was a bit hazy, the second half hour my heart rate was elevated, the next two hours were pain free and very clear headed, then it tapered off nicely over the next hour. Wouldn't exactly call it a creeper though. Really liked this.

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.

Easily in my top 3 favorites for high CBD strains. Hell, let me rephrase that... Top 3 strains period! I suffer from extreme anxiety/ paranoia and this is the best I've ever felt off of cannabis Rx . I was surprised to find this was more of a sativa base then Indica since most strong THC based sativa's just add to the paranoia. My particular lab tested batch is a whopping 18% CBD which was impressive to say the least. This stuff is insanely sticky! Nice earthy smell and taste with a hint of pine and citrus notes. The head high is mild yet powerful. Very creative thought process and happiness seems to be never ending. The body high is almost euphoric... My joints feel looser, Cramps and aches from work are diminished severely! Great for after a long day on the job or after a stressful day period. If you suffer from Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Stress, Paranoia and Pain, I would be a horrible person for not recommending this strain! Kinda hard to come by in my area but 1,000X's worth it!

First and foremost, Harlequin is a purely medicinal strain, so if you're wondering why you aren't getting high it's because there ain't no THC in them nugs. Now, for those of us who happen to enjoy high CBD to THC and have a little more feel for the highly complex interaction between these two principle cannabinoids and their effect on our personal endocannabinoid system – gotta say, Harlequin is pretty rad! While sharing subtle similarities, it is also much different than something like Cannatonic. Last night I had a full Arizer Air bowl of pure Harlequin turned to the 2'nd level heat setting of 374 degrees and noticed the muscle relaxation effects kick in almost immediately. Although, I will admit that knowing that I wouldn't get high whatsoever and not having a problem with that because I wasn't really in a getting-high kind of mood I started to feel bummed that I wasn't feeling high about halfway through the bowl. So, just now I mixed a half-and-half bowl of Harlequin and White Dawg and it was a whole different and very awesome experience culminating in the best of both worlds, high CDB - and high THC ratio! seriously, check out these test results from the labels on the bottles. Harlequin (Native Roots Edgewater): CBDA: 7.4% - 8.9% THCA: 4.43% -5.02% THC: 3.95% - 4.52% White Dawg (Lightshade 6'th Avenue): THC: 0.56% THCA: 29.11% CBDA 0.94% It is cool to feel how the high CBD has a regulatory checks and balances effect on THC. One minute you feel high, then the next you feel relaxed and completely sober; but still kinda high, but not high. It's a stoner's version of Schrodinger's cat, paradoxically you feel both high and not high. Oddly enough I'd say that the THC has the better general anesthetic properties while the CBD has the better muscle relaxant effects and that you notice with a strong Indica. Typically something like White Dawg leans towards the kind of awesome paranoid/racey/spacey/creative kind of high that people can find unpleasant. With the inclusion of Harlequin this mystical effect was almost completely blocked in favor of a completely lucid sober yet still relaxed and stoned sensation of the White Dawg subtly below the surface. What has sold me on the high CBD strains recently is for the past few years I've dealt with TMJ issues from getting socked in the jaw during various forms of MMA training, snowboarding, and longboarding; plus a whole long list of sports injuries going back to childhood. Long story short, sports beat the hell out of you and eventually you have a long list of kick-ass injuries. This is where high CBD strains happen to shine; old, nagging injuries tend to leave you in a state of constant tension and muscle guarding to avoid new injuries. CBD allows you to relax and let your muscles recuperate for a deliberately planned rest day and not another impromptu trail run or workout sesh.

Finally this wonderful strain showed up in the retail weed world in Washington state. The ratio was 5.75% thc and roughly 11% cbd. This particular cut did wonders on my knee and shoulder post op scar tissue, arthritis and general aches. It did possess a good enough sativa buzz to energize; which I assume is great for retail. All and all great strain!

I just finished my first turn of this high CBD strain and I could not be happier. I have buds that were harvested early, just as the trichomes were reaching full cloudiness and others that were harvested when the trichomes were 30% amber. The differences are noticeable, but less so than I expected them to be. The playful energy this strain exudes is absolutely amazing. As it finished [growing] the smell was light with citrus tones that, in it's last days turned devilishly sweet. A smell not unlike being in a white grape vineyard just before harvest. The lab results on the buds harvested earliest show a 2:1 CBD to THC ratio and I don't expect that to change too much when I get the mature buds tested, though they will likely be more potent. When smoking this strain I have had a tendency to do chore-like activities that I would normally put off and, as an extension of that, people have noticed that I have become more thoughtful of them. For someone who typically has to fight through social anxiety and other pitfalls that come with having an above average IQ I, so far, find these qualities to be extremely helpful in my daily routine. Add in the inherent clear-headedness of a strong Sativa, this strains energetic and playful buzz and a lower psychoactive (THC) content and I think I have found a great daily driver here. Something I have found interesting is the amount of arousal this strain/phenotype is causing. As a dude I have never previously experienced a strain that has made me so... horny (sorry, but I want to alleviate any possible misconception of what I am talking about). After smoking for years and reading about lowered 'swimmer' count and loss of desire I honestly didn't think marijuana was supposed to do that to guys.

First off almost no feeling of being high what so ever. Very focused and clean energy. Very high in cbd and you can feel it when consumed. Very beneficial for mental affects. I do feel this stain is a little harsh on the throat. Personally I feel best used to supplement a good THC strain.
