GREAT for a functional high if you have shit to do, I can't pin-point the taste but its soft and sweeter. I vape on a portable one, it burns REALLY fast so maybe lower the temp, if you can. Its nothing out of this world if you're looking for your mood or perception to be altered too much, but again, great functional high, still able to focus and everything. Mood was uplifted but not happy, I also have depression though so it basically made my mood feel more of a normal zero, than a negative.

Using Harliquin for one time or many days in a row to keep a migraine at bay, this usually does the trick. This is a good daytime Sativa that is high in CBD's and low THC. If you have to stay alert during the day get things done and need migraine relief this is my go to green. I hope it works for you too!

So I picked up some Harlequin and Cannatonic from SCMN in Aptos, CA. to do a little research on the High CBD strains. The Harlequin tested at 9% THC and 8% CBD, The Cannatonic tested at 6%THC and 15%+CBD. I definitely like Harlequin a whole lot more. I smoked some before bed, and I was able to get that really nice numbing effect in the body. I was watching some Netflix and I was able to focus on the shows that I was watching. I didn't feel too high. This is a great strain to just relax and chill out at home. Very good if you're trying to function. Very different experience smoking Harlequin. I love the feeling and I love the pain relief. *I recommend to try and get this strain at a 1:1 ratio (THC: CBD), like I did (or as close to it).

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.

Easily in my top 3 favorites for high CBD strains. Hell, let me rephrase that... Top 3 strains period! I suffer from extreme anxiety/ paranoia and this is the best I've ever felt off of cannabis Rx . I was surprised to find this was more of a sativa base then Indica since most strong THC based sativa's just add to the paranoia. My particular lab tested batch is a whopping 18% CBD which was impressive to say the least. This stuff is insanely sticky! Nice earthy smell and taste with a hint of pine and citrus notes. The head high is mild yet powerful. Very creative thought process and happiness seems to be never ending. The body high is almost euphoric... My joints feel looser, Cramps and aches from work are diminished severely! Great for after a long day on the job or after a stressful day period. If you suffer from Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Stress, Paranoia and Pain, I would be a horrible person for not recommending this strain! Kinda hard to come by in my area but 1,000X's worth it!

Having several dx causing severe chronic cervical pain, including pinched nerves, herniated C6, degenerative disc disease, cervical spinal stenosis and arthritis, I have been taking opioids for 2 years to control the pain. Currently on a 100mcg/hour Fentanyl transdermal patch and 20mg oxycodone for breakthrough, I really needed to find something safer that also worked. I researched for a week before deciding which strains to try and was very happy to find that Mother Earth carried the high CBD strain Harlequin. This plant is almost a perfect match to my ideal. Having very low THC content, I felt the tiniest bit in my head after smoking, but experienced a significant reduction in pain originating from my neck (at C6), through my shoulder, into my elbow and hand. It bears noting that I have not smoked marijuana in 20 years so all strains effect me pretty strongly. However, Harlequin was very smooth and, while it didn't effect my head too much, it also didn't cause me to drift off to sleep. I was able to just relax without being distracted by pain. This will be a very nice strain to smoke during the day because it allows me to have pain relief without fogging my brain. There are two things that I wasn't too happy with, but they are not deal breakers for me. I normally require 2 medium hits and Harlequin required 4 to achieve pain relief. Also, it only lasted about an hour and a half. Since it worked so well, this will be my go to herb until I find something that might last a little longer.

I consume bud at a rate of an eighth to a quad per month. In my college days that was a weekly rate. I by no means consider myself a big smoker, but I've certainly tried a lot of varieties. CBD strains like Harlequin took me out of a long, long break from smoking. I had become paranoid or anxious from basically any strain, indica or sativa, for something like 2 years. The CBD strains have eased me back into the joy of THC strains and let me experience the medicinal effects of marijuana. Harlequin is especially fun because it never makes me lazy (often yields productivity), promotes creativity (e.g. I produce music and technical knowledge seems to come out of me more freely), and makes sweet love making even sweeter : )
