Like some other reviewers, I used to smoke regularly in college until I started getting anxiety attacks. That was many years ago and I hadn't smoked since because I was so afraid of having another bad experience. Since pot became legal where I live, I started thinking about it and remembering how before I got the panic attacks, I had so many pleasant and positive experiences with pot. I wondered if I could experiment with small doses and get back to those wonderful warm feelings that I used to have when I first started smoking back in college. I was also experimenting with high dose CBD tinctures and found that it helped me with sleep and any anxious feelings I was having about work or just a tough day. I did some research on strains and read reviews of Harlequin and found that a recreational dispensary near me carried it, so I bought some. Wow. All I can say is I am so happy to have found this strain. Just a couple of puffs and I was actually laughing at my husband's bad jokes! General feelings of well being, relaxation, and happiness. Kind of a "the rest of the world needs to chill out" vibe. Like someone wrapped a warm blanket around me and I had positive feelings about people and things around me. Enjoyed watching a sports game. I actually got teary eyed thinking about how one guy on the team was such an asset! Haha... I also found myself noticing visuals more in a movie and thinking "wow" when I'd see an especially good shot. I've now been smoking Harlequin at night for the past month -- just maybe half a joint over the course of the evening. While it doesn't knock me out or make me feel tired at all, when I do go to bed I sleep like a baby. The munchie affect is not too strong either, cause that worried me that I'd be eating candy and pizza at night but it hasn't had that affect on me. I also find myself less talkative, and noticing that I need to listen more. I think the CBD in this has a more potent effect than the tinctures I was taking. I even have a more chilled out attitude about things when I'm NOT high, because it gets my mind into a zone where I realize things. It's been sort of like therapy! Or meditation. Anyway I just ran out and I need some more of this stuff. Haha... HIGHLY RECOMMEND, especially for people who aren't looking to get super stoned, but just kind of elevated and relaxed. The only thing is it seems like it doesn't last too long (maybe 40 minutes before I want to have another puff) and it does seem a little harsh with the smoke.
