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.
After years of taking antidepressants and all sorts of pharmaceutical medications I could not find the right fit. I stopped cold turkey the medicine my psychiatrist had prescribed and have been smoking Harlequin for about a week now. I have seen so many results such as less paranoia, anxiety, and depression. Please try this strain if you are struggling with anything you will not regret it!
It helped stop my lower back muscle spasms. Affects the body not the mind. I didn't feel paranoid just physically relaxed.
very underrated at anything under 4. never would have expected to even try a strain that did not brag of high THC levels, but was curious to see just how much "pain relief" a high CBD could offer. Happened to be a day of extreme lower back pain (more than the normal everyday pain) and was recommended by the tender to try this oil. Enjoyed a bit thru the day, chased it with Rare Darkness shatter, napped (after the darkness set in). When I woke after 45 minutes, my back felt better than it had it months. I will definitely buy this strain again. Very pleased with every aspect from taste, effect, and noticeable relief from pain. A winner in my opinion.
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.
Let me just begin by saying due to PTSD, I do not like being intoxicated. I have degenerative disc disease: 16 bulging discs, 11 dessicated discs, 5 torn discs leaking inflamatory protein throughout & wake up with a fever daily. I am a mom of 4 and when it comes to pain limiting..."if I feel like I can, I do". When I feel better I do more without thinking about it.
After research I knew I needed high CBD, Maryland is limited in CBD strains available, but I hunted down prerolls & vape cartridges in ACDC which helps me a good amount. I was doing a lot more...we are selling our house and a lot needs done before photographers come. I used a swiffer on my kitchen ceiling, washed the top half of a 18 foot chalkboard wall...couldn't do that before ACDC.
I over did it reaching for something 4 days ago & broke off a piece of disc and it is touching a nerve. My sterhoid injection is not for 5 more days & I'm in bad shape bed ridden. The slightest movement in my hips makes me scream in pain. ACDC wasn't doing much to help with the intensity. I have been in bed for 4 days, unable to stand from sitting without someone lifting me or rolling onto the floor to my knees and pulling myself to standing with a door frame.
With nothing else to do, I searched cbd strains on leafly and decided to try Harlequin. I called dispensaries starting with the closest to me and hunted down a Harlequin vape cartridge by PRIME.
I had a friend drive me to get it.
I took 4 draws of the Harlequin vape and 30 mins later I didn't feel like sitting down, I was up walking and made dinner for my husband and kids having my kids bend for me. After hour I found myself bending to get ice from my freezer drawer myself, felt pain if I moved to fast but I felt like I could do it myself, & did. I feelt motivated to get things done.
Like ACDC I will have to be really careful not to overdo it and injure myself because both kill pain and gives you more range of motion, Harlequin is definately good for more intense pain, gives you added motivation too.
I felt like I could clean the house & really wanted to.
I vaped Harlequin again before bed (pain usually keeps me up) and fell asleep fine.
I just woke up after sleeping 7 hours undisturbed, can barely move...I tried to roll over but it's not happening. Harlequin to the rescue.
I need to remind myself "even though you are feeling less pain, you still need to take it easy because you can reinjure yourself by doing to much".
Hope this helps others.
🎵..I was "Singin' in the Rain" after 2 HOOKA bowls of this Relaxing bud, surprised I Caught a nice Little Buzz + received Major Chronic Fatigue/Pain Relief in a jiffy!..Focused, Elevating, Positive Energy🤗..Happy Smiles with Greater Mobility, YES..Also gives the f'n Ortho-RA Pain a needed Break!! Effects last about an hour. Then I mixed some Acapulco Gold with & got HIGH!! I prefer Higher THC herb & consider this rather "lightweight". Good medicinal herb tho, for sure. Be Well, ✌& JAH🌴
