Harlequin reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Harlequin.
I love Harlequin! It’s the absolute perfect strain to start with when just beginning with MMJ/Medical Marijuana. I’m a middle aged woman and have spinal arthritis and am fused C3-C7 with continuing, underlying chronic pain from debilitating, at times, symptoms. I’m fairly healthy otherwise 🙄.
This Sativa/CBD dominated strain is perfect for when I need to get a few things done around the house and my body reminds me that I’m not in my 20’s anymore. It doesn’t make me feel goofy, giggly, lazy, hungry, tired or lightheaded from (I prefer vaping) using. It’s just the perfect amount to take the edge off and still be clear headed and productive without too much energy where I rebound later from overdoing it.
The only downside to this strain is that it’s quite difficult to find in the Phx, AZ area 🤷🏻♀️. But when I do get my hands on some more, I’ll be sure to grab what I can.
This is my favorite, light dosing during daytime helper. I highly recommend it to those new to using marijuana and in need of a lightweight strain.
This strain is absolutely a game changer. I have periods of time where I feel like I just need some relief from either physical or emotional pain and I like to use cannabis to handle that. The problem is that I can accidentally get too high and ultimately become unproductive and sluggish, increasingly so if I use pot for a few evenings in a row. The 15-20% THC strains I usually use can also result in a "smokeover" from time to time where I have a migraine all day the next day and sometimes yack if it gets bad. Discovering Harlequin recently has changed that. It is a strain that I could smoke a little or a lot and be totally fine. Never too high and constantly at physical and emotional ease. I also wake up feeling fine if not great every morning, it often feels like the relaxed effects of the CBD have carried over into the morning hours. This strain is fantastic if you are looking for some relief, it's fantastic for daily use and I would recommend it to anybody who is frightened by weed but curious to try it. I think if you kept it at a half gram or less, you will have a good time but still have your bearings.
The effects I felt were reduced inflamation (nasal congestion and muscle tension relieved), relaxation without being knocked out (though you very well COULD pass out depending on tolerance and dosage), and I experience a high in which I am still completely functional
After reading many, many reviews on Harlequin as a good flower for daily daytime use, I bought an 1/8 of it. I wish I had started with a smaller quantity because it doesn't do for me what I'd hoped it would. I had been using Strawberry Cough daily for daytime use to counteract the depressive/anxious effects of complex PTSD and ADD; and it was working well for me but I thought that Harlequin might work better based on all those reviews. I guess, for me, Harlequin might have worked differently than it does for others because I had a very intense "couch lock" sensation using it when I used it at the dose that many reviewers recommended (3 moderate inhalations with a vaporizer). After those 3 hits, I wasn't able to work and just went and took a 2 hour nap, which was hella refreshing but not what I was intending to do that afternoon. I tried just one hit the next day and it was less intense but I still didn't feel focused and able/enthusiastic about working either in an intellectual or physical mode; I just felt like I had "brain fog" and wanted to lie the heck down. On the third day, today, I tried a mix of Strawberry Cough and Harlequin, a 9/1 ratio about, and took one moderate hit. THAT is the sweet spot for me. The tiny amount of Harlequin adds just a nice bit of background body high that feels like a sense of wellbeing and balances well with the energy/optimism of the Strawberry Cough. I would definitely turn to Harlequin if I had body pain and wanted something to knock me out. But for daytime-working-focus use, so far the best strain for me has been Strawberry Cough.
Got it as a sativa but the cbd put me to sleep. Great sleeping strain though
my current go-to in vape form. gives a calm emotional effect while also working to keep me at a functional level.
Hi All
I've been growing, breeding and partaking of this magic plant for over 45 years now and this strain is one of my favourites. I agree strongly with others who have identified it as being a classic. It reminds me very much of the early, mid 70's grass I first encountered on this incredible journey. Doesn't blow you away, doesn't leave you wanting either. A fantastic socialiser and is a firm favourite amongst the crowd I hang with. I find I can party hearty, have a beverage or two and maintain my s__t together enough to be communicative and sensible. What more could you ask? I do also enjoy heavy Sativas and Indias for the special self-reflection periods when they present, but this is a strain I highly recommend.
Highly recommended!
Cheers
Great so far! Tastes like the tree I ate as a kid. (I was making tea)
Harlequin is absolutely amazing for people with anxiety. I have had awful experiences with marijuana in the past. Like I smoked too much and got REALLY paranoid. Because of that, I have been scared to smoke for awhile now. I got this cart at my local med dispensary and I am so happy that I did. It has changed my life. Made me happier, more productive, made my headaches go away, reduced my anxiety by A LOT, and helped me go back to sleep. THIS is the best medicine you could ever get. If you’re scared to smoke, start here. It’s wonderful.
