Pennywise is a high-CBD indica cross between Harlequin and Jack the Ripper, a combination that lends this strain its killer clown name. Four phenotypes of this Stephen King-inspired strain exist, some of which have fingerlike buds while others appear more round. Notes of coffee and pepper lift from the purple-fringed flowers with undertones of lemon and bubblegum. Rich in the therapeutic compound CBD, Pennywise is especially effective in treating arthritis, PTSD, epilepsy, neurological disorders, and cancer symptoms. It contains a 1:1 ratio of CBD and THC, so the psychoactive effects are milder and more relaxing. Jack the Ripper’s cerebrally focused effects are detectable in Pennywise’s genes as euphoria and mental clarity take over with an invigorating buzz. Pennywise flowers in 60 to 67 days and is suitable for either indoor or outdoor gardens.

Super nice balanced strain. Helps a bunch, I don’t feel high in the slightest, just regulated. I roll up one joint and smoke half in the morning and half and night and it mellows me out. I can tell it works because I can tell when it’s wore off for the night. The terpinolene does aggravate the anxiety for me just a bit, but this is def in my top 5 fav strains. Helps with my medication induced nausea a bunch too. Probably would be careful; stinks like hell and doesn’t taste great, and if you get easily set off migraines, it does give you a headache really easy with even just a BITTTTT too much.

Wasn't sure what to expect with this one but not having as much THC in it and equal with CBD you still have a nice time and the CBD helps with other medical issues like back pain and just all around relaxation, it certainly helps you get to sleep, very surprised but will get again in the near future

This is a delightful, very medical strain. High peaked at about an hour after my dab with a gentle drawn out end. I feel focused, I don’t feel out of my right mind, but my pain is gone. I like medical cannabis for my arthritis because it lets me stay aware of how my joints are doing without suffering. The only negative side effect is some dry mouth, but as a smoker/dabber you should always have water at your station anyway.

Great strain! Doesn’t make you anxious or anything like this.. if you smoke too much you might have a bit anxiety but it’s far from full blown panic attack when you smoke high thc strains

I can't handle high THC strains because otherwise I get panic attacks, so I asked my budtender for recommendations and he gave me this. It's probably the best strain I've ever smoked. It's a very mellow high, intense enough that you definitely feel it but not debilitating by any means. It's also helped tremendously with my chronic pain (EDS and endometriosis), and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a chill high and numbed pain :))

This is one strain I will NEVER smoke again ! Lol it’s not for the faint heart. I feel this is for medicinal use, like if you were on your death bed and didn’t want to feel anything on your way out. My partner and I at the time still til this day say hell nah on this one. If you wanna be slumped SLUMPED and faded, in a mannequin like state smoke this. It’s potent & extremely heavy. If you’re like me and love something light and uplifting this ain’t it !!! It’s good ish, I just won’t fw it ever again

As someone that gets severe anxiety, paranoia, and panic from most strains, this was the worst of them all. I got it because of the good reviews, but I immediately had horrible racing thoughts and mild paranoia after this. Afterwards I had a bad headache (I never get headaches) and felt generally unwell. I'm not sure why I'm incompatible with this strain, but anyone that suffers from the same issues as me should probably consider passing on this one.

AMAZING!! Words can’t even begin to describe what I want to say because there isn’t really a feeling to describe but what I want to say is I suffer from severe depression like to the point of times where I think about hurting myself or wanting to hurt others and I was at the point with a firearm in my hand and alls I did was smoke one bowl and everything just disappeared in seconds. I originally bought to see if it would help with my little syncopal episodes I have once in a while but I also suffer from ptsd and depression and this magically bag tricks all in one 😂so for a light smoker or someone not really having a lot going on I wouldn’t say this would be helpful or noticeable but for someone who’s having some severe issues and there day to day life is truly effected I would give this strain a try and see how it goes, always start small and work your way up because you can always take more but can’t un-take anything lol
