I love Harlequin! It’s the absolute perfect strain to start with when just beginning with MMJ/Medical Marijuana. I’m a middle aged woman and have spinal arthritis and am fused C3-C7 with continuing, underlying chronic pain from debilitating, at times, symptoms. I’m fairly healthy otherwise 🙄.
This Sativa/CBD dominated strain is perfect for when I need to get a few things done around the house and my body reminds me that I’m not in my 20’s anymore. It doesn’t make me feel goofy, giggly, lazy, hungry, tired or lightheaded from (I prefer vaping) using. It’s just the perfect amount to take the edge off and still be clear headed and productive without too much energy where I rebound later from overdoing it.
The only downside to this strain is that it’s quite difficult to find in the Phx, AZ area 🤷🏻♀️. But when I do get my hands on some more, I’ll be sure to grab what I can.
This is my favorite, light dosing during daytime helper. I highly recommend it to those new to using marijuana and in need of a lightweight strain.
I have metastatic breast cancer and totally found a great daytime smoke with Harlequin. Great pain relief from my mastectomy last week and some energy at the same time. I’ve been feeling like shit post cancer diagnosis and I feel so much better after a few rips of Harlequin. Not a heavy hitter just a legit nudge in the right direction.
Tested this before giving it to my daughter and was very happy that there were no psychotic effects. I haven't had any weed in years because I don't like the effects anymore. But I wasn't going to give any to my daughter before trying. I experienced just an overall relaxed feeling. I still felt like myself, just relaxed and my sore back suddenly melted away. I am comfortable making edibles for my little girl and that it will allow her to come off clonazepam.
High CBD strains are truly remarkable. They do a great job of alleviating my pain. They also deliver the nausea-killing effects of THC without the stony or racy side effects because the CBD is so effective at keeping your mind straight. There is a buzz, but it is very energetic and productive.
Perfect medical strain
I tried Harlequin again tonight as I really like the effects. This was the fourth time I've tried it. I have chronic pain from degenerative arthritis, along with muscle aches. The Harlequin totally wiped out every single ache. It also brightened my mood and gave me a nice burst of mellow, happy energy.
I will say, though, I haven't liked the taste of any Harlequin I've tried so far. Perhaps there's some out there that tastes better. The first buds I bought last week tasted like those green Japanese incense sticks, sort of perfumy. It also gave me a dry feeling in my sinuses. This batch tonight tasted kind of musty and dusty- I guess some people would call that "musk." I think I'll try mixing it with a bit of the strain that tastes better to me, like CBD Girl Scout Cookies or Cannatonic. Or I might make some glycerin tincture with it.
I’m someone who is hesitant to try new strains due to anxiety issues from PTSD. I’m glad I tried this one. It’s like a cup of coffee on a rainy afternoon. I’m productive, confident, and uplifted. No anxiety at all. Harlequin is my girl now.
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!
Let’s rename this housecleanin’! Wow. I was able to focus, pain free, on tasks I haven’t attended to in a long time - like reorganizing cabinets and vacuuming crevices under the couch cushions. Not too heady, just good. Any thought that came to my head, I just compartmentalized and said, “ It’s ok. Just let it go. It’s ok. Definitely going to be a wake and bake for me!
