Harlequin reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Harlequin.
Used the concentrate through a vape pen, I took a deep draw from the pen (mistake) I was extremely buzzed right away, couldn't focus for the first 30-40 minutes and was totally lost. Great buzz after about 2 hours didn't really feel the back pain I was experiencing any longer.
Haven't been of a partaker for close to 25 years so it was like hitting it for the first time all over again. So I would suggest that you
definitely be careful when using the concentrate.

A friend uses this for high-CBD medicine for himself and for hard-drug addicts in capsules. He batched some in coconut oil; I put residue on toast with honey and I was tripping as if on LSD. I was expecting something MUCH milder. Now, the literature is misleading at best, e.g., here it supposedly is 5:2 CBD:THC. Elsewhere, I read "The standard ratio of CBD to THC in Harlequin is 5:2. Cannabis lab Analytics 360 has measured samples of this strain at between 4% to 10% THC and 6% to 15% CBD." 6:4 - 15:10 show 5:2 to be misleading at best (I'd say fraudulent). It's high time for high science.
Really nice manageable strain for relieving stress, inflammation, and joint pain. I also enjoy the mellow high, and that it doesn't drive me to eat everything in the pantry.
Harlequin is THE strain everyone needs in their rotation(or on constant supply). Think of Harlequin as the "classic" pot. This is what 99% of the bands at woodstock would have picked.
IMO I feel Harlequin is closely related to "panama red", which is a very mellow, but uplifting and energetic high, and very happy as well. Your focus is on point with this strain.
Now, it's not what harlequin has that PR does have, it's what it DOESN'T have that makes it great. That annoying head pressure and "lightheaded" feeling that makes people nauseous when smoking a sativa. Instead, your whole body gets nice and high, with no negative effects, like paranoia or anxiety.
I feel that harlequin was bred as a perfect strain. I'm yet to meet a single person who doesn't love Harlequin. And it's as close to the original strains from back in the day, but with a little more bite in some parts, and less(pleasantly) in others.
I promise you won't dislike this strain at all. Great for just about anything!
One of my go to's for dealing with pain during the day. Not strong enough on its own for pain. I mix with Gsc and Yumm for best pain relief

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.
This is the first strain of Cannabis I've tried and I love it so far. Harlequin definitely helps ease my anxiety, depression, and insomnia.
It's a mellow strain, especially at low temperatures. It has a calming effect, followed by mild euphoria and tingling, then sleepiness.
Good for relaxation and productivity – I've taken some killer naps with this and woken up feeling happy and alert.
