I'm a beginner and tried out harlequin. I have muscle spasms, anxiety, and depression. First time I had tried this I felt dizzy, and felt my body was hot with ants crawling on me, then felt like I was gonna pass out, then I got really sick, like my body was rejecting it. I don't like it at all!
Greetings...worked well for my chronic muscle spazms!!!:)
Brief history of myself and marijuana before I begin with the review.
I started smoking cannabis Junior year in High School. We probably smoked every other day. This was with close friends. We smoked A LOT! Usually blunt size cigars filled with cannabis. We usually had a good time. Laughed, got hungry, socialized etc.
However, soon after high school was over, the high started effecting me differently. Unfortunately, in a bad way. I started getting anxiety, paranoia, sad thoughts about life changing, loosing friends etc. It didn't happen every time I smoked but started happening more regularly. Same with some of my closest friends. They started not enjoying the high. Would make them uneasy with themselves. Insecure, anti-social etc.
Long story short, I quit smoking weed because of this. Years went by. I would occasionally smoke when the opportunity prevented itself to give it another shot but it would always bring me back to the bad high.
I didn't understand what had happened. Was it the weed? Was it me? Was it just life? What was going on. I was almost certain it was the weed because a lot of my friends also gave up the habit because it gave the same effect on them.
I didn't want to give up. About the time I turned 25 I looked into getting a weed card. Because I have a history of right knee-pain, it was quite easy to get. After getting the card I hit up a couple dispensaries. Never before had I seen such a selection right before me. I was excited because I thought this will definitely help me track down the right stuff if anything would.
Well, unfortunately, the high on all the stuff I tried was again, the same. Gave me a super head high with unstoppable negative thoughts. You see, I kinda think too much as it is, so when I smoke weed that is highly psychoactive, it really puts me in hyper mode of thinking, which overwhelms me, them brings me to anxiety. I needed a weed that brought me down. I tested and smoked indica's, sativa's, hybrids. All with pretty much the same results.
I still like to go out and socialize at parties, bars etc. But I kinda want to get away from alcohol. It's really not good for you and always give me a hangover the next day. BLAHHHH
I'm 28 years old now. I started doing some research about marijuana and stumbled upon CBD's. Never heard of it before. I only knew of the main ingredient THC. I read that almost all the breeders that grow marijuana today, grow it for maximum THC. The problem is by doing this it almost eliminates all the CBD content. CBD's, I read, are responsible for cancelling out the negative effects of THC...like anxiety, paranoia etc. It's sort of a Yin Yang relationship. You kinda want a 50/50 match of both in your strains.
I read Harlequin was a good strain but very rare to find.
Even with my cannabis permit, I had to search many dispensaries up here in Seattle, until I found one that had it. I shot up there and bought a couple grams.
I rolled a couple small-medium size joints out of it. The joints were sitting in my house for a good couple weeks. I couldn't really develop enough courage to smoke them because I was afraid it would bring me right back to the unwanted feelings.
Well last night I met up with a close friend that I've known through the years since high school. He was actually one of my old pot smoking friends.
We went out to a bar in Des Moines, WA. After a couple drinks (beers) I asked if he wanted to try a rare strain that is suppose to not produce anxiety. He was a little reluctant but I talked him into it. We went out to my car and lit up the joint I had prepared. We smoked the whole thing. Probably got 5 good hits each.
Walking back into the bar I could feel a little bit of the unwanted feelings coming in, but it was different. It was easier for me to dismiss them. We went back to our seats at the bar top and started sipping the rest of our beer. Over the course of the next hour I must say we had quite the good time. We had some good laughs. Me, at times, came to tears with laughter. I'm pretty sure everyone at the bar top knew we were high. Actually, I know the bartenders did, because she said "you guys smell good" and gave us a little grin.
I can't say I really cared though. Like I said, I could feel a slight feeling of the bad side, but it was easy to push back. It must of been the high CBD content. I can't say I was overly open to strangers but I did engage with the bartenders and the few people I did talk to, I jived with.
At a couple times, I said a joke, and I guess I was either the only one that got it, or the only one that thought it was funny. I laughed...and I laughed HARD at my own joke. But other people didn't. But again, I didn't care. I was sorta in my own world and didn't get effected by outside input.
I am excited to try Harlequin again. Next time, I'm going to smoke maybe just 3 good hits without the alcohol before hand and see where it puts my head.
But for the time being, I like the results we got from Harlequin :-)
This is an interesting strain to say the least. It's difficult for me to rate because it deserves a bit more exploring due to its low THC - high CBD ratio and it functions a little differently. I want to rate it sort of lowly because it doesnt really do what I am usually on the lookout for, but I certainly want to rate it highly because I believe other patients might find it exceptional.
I would have to say that it does very little in terms of getting me high, which is perfectly okay with me. It seems to be intended as a functional daily use kind of marijuana that you can use all the time. Because of this I'd say most may find it to cause very little paranoia or anxiety. It is supposed to provide a lot of pain relief. I broke my wrist last year and I have some residual pain. This strain didnt particularly treat that any more than any other cannabis out there, but I'd have to say the pain relief effects lasted much longer than any other weed i've ingested. That's why i put 120 minutes on this review.. it would seem that the cbd in it lasts longer than thc? And it has a particular characteristic tingly feeling in the body and head that is unlike anything else, it's very interesting.
In terms of smokeability and how it looks, this may have been the most top shelf well cured bud I have gotten yet. Incredibly easy to pluck little bits.. grind up.. and just look at without bits getting everywhere. Snaps off stems with a satisfactory noise each time. I was impressed. Burns VERY cleanly and evenly. I found that the best way to use this strain is to grind it up and roll joints (or perhaps blunts!). I experimented with mixing other strains into my joints to boost whatever effects I wanted and that was awesome. My girlfriend also has tincture of this stuff and several dropperfulls of that was excellent for a day's relief of the "normally awful day that follows adderall use".
Well, I'm a newbie to weed so bare with me.
Got this for pain and muscle tension.
Got up with a stiff , hurting neck today and smoked a tiny bit of this and got a major migraine...
Don't know if it was the weed but that's my two cents for right now.
Will give it another try tomorrow hopefully without a headache and maybe I can write a better more objective review.
Migraine pain 7, nausea 6, dizzy 6 when I medicated round 2200? Bout 5 min to start kickin me is the @$$. Head high strong but very smooth/mellow/happy. Body high perfect, pain/nausea gone. Dizzier but ok. NO ANXIETY/PARNOIA (essential). I could clean my house, call a friend or paas out. Only worker AND sleepy bud to date. Highly recommend this strain! Love my CBDs! :-)
this bud is like the we queen of blowjobs! when she gets to your head your legs go numb, toes start tingling and then she blows your mind!
