Known by many names, Harlequin GDP is a CBD-dominant cross of Harlequin and Granddaddy Purple. This earthy, slightly sweet sativa-dominant hybrid has been seen with a 3:1 CBD/THC ratio, slotting it firmly as a medicinal strain while offering enough THC whizbang for recreational cannabis consumers. Harlequin GDP's effects are lucid, but not stimulating, as well as cozy, but not couch-locked, making it ideal for folks seeking to quash anxiety and minor physical pain.

I smoked this to help with my PTSD. I LOVE it. It's a low THC strand so I could sit and enjoy it for a while without getting fucked up. But once it hits you it will surprise you. It's a great high. I was laying in bed just feeling great. Good body buzz, positive and relaxed mindset and NO anxiety. Anxiety is a an ongoing challenge for me so I'm picky with my strands because some make me anxious. I'd use this one as my daily toke if my dispensary could keep it in stock. Give this one a try. Just don't expect it to take you to the moon. It will keep you here. The best place to be.
My tolerance is maybe kinda low so take my judgement with a grain of salt, but if you're anything like me, this strain will kick your ass. Don't discount it because of its low percentages.
I was recommended it because my dispensary was out of the Cannatonic I was hoping to get, which I use to manage my severe chronic pain. This variant had much less CBD (like 6:5 CBD:THC compared to 2:1 that I'm used to), but I said what the heck and decided to try it. It doesn't do very much for my pain (severe fibro as well as joint inflammation and pain from hyperextension and dislocations) and has a huge head high.
I vaped one cycle's worth (5min) last night, was hit almost immediately with the head high and a very little bit of pain relief, but felt like it was wearing off about half an hour later. Stupidly, I went to go vape another cycle. Two cycles isn't that unusual for me, it does get me pretty high but I've never had a *bad* (or stressful) experience until last night. I was pretty instantly zonked by this second cycle, and started dissociating pretty badly. I felt like nothing was real and my past self was present and a different person. To be fair, I do sometimes have psychotic episodes, so this may have just triggered that, but no other CBD strain I've tried has done that to me. I also got SUUUPER dizzy; I usually get dizzy when I get high but this was like, massive. I was falling all over the place.
I ended up having to sleep the high off and slept for a very long time. The bowl wasn't spent so I vaped another round on it like half an hour ago, I've got a huge head high and only a little pain relief, not like I get with other CBD strains. I'm not dissociating from just one cycle, but I'm still pretty out of it, but not really giggly like I've gotten with other strains, just kind-of introspective, I guess? And hyperfocused but not in a useful way (maybe because the pain isn't gone and that's clouding my mind).
All in all, it just wasn't what I was looking for in a supposedly CBD strain. If you're going for a contemplative head high, it might be more for you, but if you're looking for pain relief, I'd look elsewhere.
This is what Trulieve uses in their 1:1 vape cartridge. It's a good choice for daytime pain b/c it doesn't impede clarity. Eases muscle/fascia tension and joint pain. Relaxing but not couch-locking. Great for pain relief while maintaining concentration and focus.
