Okay, first… I just want to say that a local dispo here had a FIRE sale, and I was able to pick up an entire ounce of Pennywise for $75, which is absolutely absurd. And amazing.
That being said, I think this might be my new favorite strain. As someone with hyper-sensitivity to basically everything, I’m very picky about what I smoke. I’m prone to crippling anxiety and panic attacks, so I try to stay away from anything that will “f*** me up.” This strain is perfection. The flower I purchased is 1:1 at 11% and 11% (obvs). I really can’t say enough good things about Pennywise. Stress relief. Anxiety relief. Pain relief. I feel like the Universe has me wrapped in a protective blanket. Everything just melts away, and you’re left with an ocean of calm while retaining the ability to focus. I honestly don’t ever want to run out of this stuff. Plant medicine has a special place in my life, and I hope this particular strain has helped others the way it’s helped me.
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.
Great for pain and chilling. Very active with it and helps me sleep at the end of the high.

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).

Pennywise is awesome at reliving pain and inflammation. With two hits from my pen and 10 minutes, i start feeling the relief. It can cause a little headache but only if you do too much at one time.
The taste is a little like what I think liquid soap would taste like. A little harsh on the back of the throat if the hit is too big. Pennywise is my first high cbd indica and I really like it for the pain relief. I don't want the head high, I mostly want to relax my aching muscles (I have RA) and chill so I am looking forward to trying another high cbd indica like AC/DC.
Bro I’m so baked on this shit rn the pop I’m drinking rn just turned into a milk shake
Procured this in pre-roll at Theory Wellness Dispensary in Bridgewater, MA. I purchased this strain to try a lower thc percentage. Holy Toledo! I feel tingly, soft and fuzzy sensations through my eyes and forehead. A moderately heavy body feel. I am noticing a little dry mouth and eyes. This strain doesn't make me feel lazy. This strain seems to be effective in managing pain, as well. My back and shoulder feel more at ease, I'm definitely not uncomfortable.
Thanks for reading!
My dog wants to play and I'm going to enjoy that!
I’ve been a fairly heavy cannabis user for over 20 years and unfortunately developed an anxiety/panic issue and I’m very sensitive to thc. I’ve joined the cbd group currently using vape and I’ve been able to enjoy cannabis again without a guaranteed panic attack. With that being said...Pennywise is a 1:1 and a indica dominant strain and I personally found it to be a little too much for me in terms of regular every day use. ACDC at 20:1 sativa dominant usually treats me right and it’s completely functional and I do get a mild to moderate buzz. It’s also not quite enough so I’m trying Alien Moonshine at 5:1 trying to find that perfect balance. Pennywise is good for those times where your comfortable and want to trip a little bit but not too much but I would use it with a little caution especially during the day or when your a little on edge. I will be cautiously using Pennywise on occasion but I would recommend something wish a little less head trip for a beginner or anxiety sufferer.
