I have to say, I was completely blown away by Pennywise. It's a 1:1 cbd/thc coming in at around 7%, so I honestly wasn't expecting very much. I purchased it as a bit of an afterthought, wanting to sample a strain with high cbd content. Looks and smells great, and is really pleasant to smoke. The effects are really remarkable. It is energetic and uplifting in the manner of a lot of sativas, but whether it's due to the low thc content or the mitigating effect of cbd, it produced absolutely zero paranoia or anxiety. Quite the contrary in fact. I was happy, talkative and productive. Very social. Just a great strain for people that want to treat depression or fatigue, but are prone to anxiety. It's not intense, but for me that's not always a bad thing. I enjoyed that I was able to smoke quite a bit at a time and never feel too overwhelmed. Honestly, it's the sort of strain I'll probably buy in bulk to have on hand for everyday use. It's made me want to seek out other 1:1 ration strains.
I struggle with anxiety and panic attacks so I have to be super careful with THC cuz it usually it just makes me go mental. Pennywise makes me feel relaxed without racing thoughts, and a heavy head. I can still process thoughts and focus. Very good strain.
I get the worst menstrual cramps at night. 1-2 hits of pennywise helps me relax with a great night sleep. Wicked dry mouth tho.

Alert, Silly, but Tired. Functional, but smooth. Like a warm, babbling brook through an ice cold valley.
Floating like a single happy little cloud, in a wide blue sky.
Words: Chill turtle. Wide lense. Earhole stretch.
Scent: Spicy Woody Pine.

This is a wonderful strain and depending on where you get it from, is a beautiful flower... the source that I received my Pennywise from I consider a lower quality source (you get what you pay for) The taste of this flower is woody and deep with hints of pepper... slightly harsh on the soft palate (mine was dry) coughing(coughy):5/10....This flower gives an almost instantaneous indica "slump" feeling.. Great for just chilling or doing repetitive and light study type tasks... as long as you don't have a deadline😉

I hesitated on the 4 star review. It could have been 3, 4 or 5. The pain relief was instant, easing my muscle pain and giving me overall more mobility in a positive way (I have EDS type III hypermobility, but can't walk correctly most days). The problem was that my heart rate spiked from 65 to 120 and my BP dropped from 105/72 to 94/60 within a few minutes. That eased over time, but I have IST and my heart doesn't need any extra stress. On top of that, I had some brain fog. So you see my conundrum. Pain relief: 5 star, added brain fog now drops to 4 star, with the HR and BP issues, it's a 3 star (much to my dismay).
Great for pain and chilling. Very active with it and helps me sleep at the end of the high.
I found the second time very similar to the first time. I found myself relaxed and with less pain, but wanting the effects to be a bit more THC. I was almost going to reduce my review to 3.5 stars. Why didn't I? Today I blended about 30% Island Sweet Skunk into the Pennywise, loaded a pipe and vaped it. The skunk offered a bit of flavour and softened the vapor. Just what I wanted, a bit of head effects. The strain can be used to dump a big hit of CBD into whatever else you have, giving it tremendous value as a mixer. I am going back to get an eighth just for that purpose.
