Cannatonic reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Cannatonic.
This is the best strain I have ever found for pain. It just melts away! If I want to have the psychoactive effect I do a 50/50 mix with another strain (usually indica). I've never found anything that compares. I recommend this strain to anyone in pain.
I’ve been having lots of anxiety around work, and this let me chill out without making me feel too high to do anything. It’s not the typical THC strain but it might be the first weed I smoke before work!
I tried Cannatonic by Tantalus Labs. I like how Tantalus Labs grows their cannabis using recycled rainwater, sungrown in environmentally controlled greenhouses, and based in B.C.. I hope that in the future their products will be hand trimmed and not irradiated. I found the flavour to be very, very spicy, but the smoke was smooth. I did notice peppery, citrusy, and earthy notes. The high was gradual and very mild. It just made the day a little bit brighter, more colourful, and relaxing. I would not smoke this in the evening because it does keep me up! Great for midday.
Felt great

Very good weed
Fuck yes
This is first time user review - as in first time using MMJ ever, and first strain.
Using an O.penvape 2.0, I started Cannatonic on orange setting (sort of medium, still mild): strong citrus notes, more towards grapefruit/bitter orange than sweet orange. Very pleasant. Tastes a little like a mild take on Citra hops. Recreational users will probably be craving a run to Treehouse for Julius after having some of this.
Interesting bit: I turned it down to purple/low, and it tasted more buttery. Also very pleasant. But doesn't draw as well on the low setting. Viscosity issue?
Sensation of using this strain, for me, is easier to describe in terms of absence of things.
I'm taking MMJ for psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis. The psoriasis always feels like a low grade hum of pain in the skin. The pain hum is G-O-N-E. I was sitting here thinking "something's changed, but I can't pinpoint what", and just realized that's what it was.
The second thing I noticed: omnipresent joint pain in small bones in my fingers: it faded. It is GONE. I don't remember the last time I did -not- feel pain in those parts of my hands. I'd literally forgotten what it felt like to type without my small bones hurting.
I was using hemp-based CBD lotion (Shikai, I recommend, it's odorless) on my hands before - which assisted with inflammation, but only dulled pain, didn't eliminate it.
The combo of the lotion and the vape? Yeah, we may be on to something here.
Head/Psychological effects: Feeling calm and relaxed - an absence of the hum of anxiety that accompanies my days. Again, noticing absence of "problem things". This could also be a reaction to the pain disappearing.
Around the time I noticed the joint pain had gone, I felt a sensation forward in the head, top of head just behind my forehead hairline, like a warm ball is forming there. The ball started out racquetball size, and feels like it's slowly expanding and melting. So that's nice. ;)
TL;DR - as a first time user with chronic inflammatory joint disease, this was a lovely introduction to a valuable medicine. It's a strain that can get me operational in the morning quickly, without leaving me feeling impaired. My head's clear and focused but I can still multitask (not hyper-focused). Emotionally I feel calm and chill, not giggly, and not ecstatic.
One thing to be aware of: dry eye. I have another medication that has a side effect of dry eyes, in addition to this. If you're in a similar situation, get yourself a gel lubricant eye drop, like Genteal. CVS carries a generic version. Look for the orange or the red strengths. Use the orange one during the day, and red at night. And don't skimp on drinking water!
This strain was definitely a life changer. I'd give it a 10/10. I suffer extreme panic disorder, ocd, anxiety, anxiety attacks, ocd, and ptsd. It's hard for me to find a strain that actually works. Cannatonic is one of them. It helped me through my benzo withdrawal. Very manageable high. Very calming and relaxing. I normally have thoughts that race 1000 miles per minute but with each exhale the more clear headed and focused I become. This strain also helps with muscle and joint pain. I can smoke it day or night. definitely give it a try. this is true medical cannabis.
