I suffer from fibromyalgia - this strain should be given to all pain patients on the regular! I work in a sedantary position most of the day and I get squirmmy and restless; this strain keeps me on task for sure, with out a doubt. AKA if you work in white collar America, this is another perfect strain for you. You feel like you're on cloud 9 without the goofy high side effects.
The particular phenotype that I'm writing about here is 'Cannatonic #3', and the cannabinoid percentages are very similar to the original but the terpenenoid content is reported as being close to 4%, and I don't doubt that it is. It's definitely loud and the scent profile is not only strong but very pleasant and distinct as well. The sweet citrus smell dominates and hits your olfactory receptors first, followed by a more complex and hard to describe rich and earthy and possibly woody aroma. A gorgeous scent I've yet to see matched by any other flower I've tried, which is a lot. The taste is similar and the overpowering sharpness of the citrus smooths out the flavor, cutting any harshness and lingering in the back of the mouth and throat for a while after a hit.
As great as the flavor is on these magnificently bred and grown sticky green nuggets, it's the effect profile that really shines with this sympathetic strain. It seems to feel your pain and gives you exactly what you were looking for. Relief comes fast, releasing any tension and leaving the muscles limp and joints feeling new again thanks to the CBD and terpene profile's strong anti-inflammatory properties. The mind is left similarly at ease as the stress and anxiety quickly dissolve away, leaving you blissfully carefree and pain free but without the uncontrollable fixations and mind wandering caused by higher THC levels for many of us. I prefer using it at night due to the sedative effects I experience, but most report it to be a functional daytime flower due to the relatively lower THC content.
Cannatonic is the ultimate medicinal cultivar out of all I've sampled to date. The effects are everything I'm looking for and it checks all the boxes for smell, taste, and experience in a plant bred for medicinal use as a pain reliever, whether physical or emotional/cognitive. Perfect for a user with a lower tolerance looking for strong overall relief of any type of discomfort. Rarely do we encounter such a well rounded specimen of cannabis perfection that smells and tastes amazing, cures all that ails, and leaves you blissfully content with the world and yourself.
This is first time user review - as in first time using MMJ ever, and first strain.
Using an O.penvape 2.0, I started Cannatonic on orange setting (sort of medium, still mild): strong citrus notes, more towards grapefruit/bitter orange than sweet orange. Very pleasant. Tastes a little like a mild take on Citra hops. Recreational users will probably be craving a run to Treehouse for Julius after having some of this.
Interesting bit: I turned it down to purple/low, and it tasted more buttery. Also very pleasant. But doesn't draw as well on the low setting. Viscosity issue?
Sensation of using this strain, for me, is easier to describe in terms of absence of things.
I'm taking MMJ for psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis. The psoriasis always feels like a low grade hum of pain in the skin. The pain hum is G-O-N-E. I was sitting here thinking "something's changed, but I can't pinpoint what", and just realized that's what it was.
The second thing I noticed: omnipresent joint pain in small bones in my fingers: it faded. It is GONE. I don't remember the last time I did -not- feel pain in those parts of my hands. I'd literally forgotten what it felt like to type without my small bones hurting.
I was using hemp-based CBD lotion (Shikai, I recommend, it's odorless) on my hands before - which assisted with inflammation, but only dulled pain, didn't eliminate it.
The combo of the lotion and the vape? Yeah, we may be on to something here.
Head/Psychological effects: Feeling calm and relaxed - an absence of the hum of anxiety that accompanies my days. Again, noticing absence of "problem things". This could also be a reaction to the pain disappearing.
Around the time I noticed the joint pain had gone, I felt a sensation forward in the head, top of head just behind my forehead hairline, like a warm ball is forming there. The ball started out racquetball size, and feels like it's slowly expanding and melting. So that's nice. ;)
TL;DR - as a first time user with chronic inflammatory joint disease, this was a lovely introduction to a valuable medicine. It's a strain that can get me operational in the morning quickly, without leaving me feeling impaired. My head's clear and focused but I can still multitask (not hyper-focused). Emotionally I feel calm and chill, not giggly, and not ecstatic.
One thing to be aware of: dry eye. I have another medication that has a side effect of dry eyes, in addition to this. If you're in a similar situation, get yourself a gel lubricant eye drop, like Genteal. CVS carries a generic version. Look for the orange or the red strengths. Use the orange one during the day, and red at night. And don't skimp on drinking water!

I got this strain in tincture form from trumeds in phoenix. Tasted horrible with overpowering taste of alcohol. No medical properties what so ever. I do not recommend this stain.
I original grew this one at home for my wife, since she enjoys more of the low THC strains with CBD…her tolerance is pretty low and she prefers a milder high.
Cannatonic was easy to grow and a single plant yielded about 4 ounces of dry weight bud. I processed most of it into a cannabis oil using Dr. Bronners coconut oil. Tried it a couple of times and this stuff is anything but weak. Based on my calculations, a teaspoon of this stuff should be about 11 mg of THC and 20 mg of CBD. I consume it at night, with a teaspoon or more dissolved in herbal tea, and it knocks me out. At first, I get a nice head high that lasts about an hour, and then a nice body buzz sets in that out a me to sleep. No negative effects in the morning…a cup of green tea and I’m ready to go with no residual buzz. This is an excellent, mild, and strain that produces a mellow, relaxed high. Perfect for a weekday night when you’re stressed and need to sleep.
I started smoking for my Tourettes and my pain, along with other things. I smoked it the same day I bought it when I was in a lot of pain and having continuous tics. Within the first 30 minutes the tics calmed down and I was in less pain, still a lot but I noticed it wasn't as bad. I smoked that before bed. The next day I smoked a little more before work, I smoked it at about 7:45 in the morning, it kicked in around 8:00 then worked up until 1:30/1:45 in the afternoon. Which I know is different for everyone, but it's still nice. so if you're looking for a staring for TOURETTES, this is the one.
Not sure if anyone else out there with Tourettes has a constant vibration going on, no matter what. but that went away for a good 2-3 hours for me after smoking this. It's definitely helpful, but not a Lifesaver.
Tried this as a cart from PTS. 2:1 CBD:THC. Was expecting to not get any psychoactive effects but it definitely does give you a short mild high. When consumed in higher doses you will be much more high for a longer period of time. I purchased for day time use for back pain but I get kind of spacey from it so not the best strain for trying to be work productive. Can definitely use for weekend tasks when looking for back pain or inflammation. Would buy it again. I love the lemon-lime sprite flavor with some earthy exhale notes. Solid CBD strain but you will get “high” and I think those with low tolerances will definitely feel more than a mild high. Solid medicine. Thank you PTS
I don't know what you guys are talking bout "it doesn't get you High" If you smoke enough of it, it will get you high but the CBD will keep you grounded where 's you won't trip hard. Oh but you will know your buzzin. I got my order in today and as soon as the mail lady drop it off. I proceeded to open my package stick my nose in and the familiar essence of woody forest on a humid day hit me. I knew it was my Cannatonic she has that distinguished aroma. I rolled a fat joint and smoked about three quarters before i was like " whoa this shit hittin hard" must be higher in THC than usual. Euphoria just ringing out my brain cells but a calm stomach and chest. Muscles and joints released the pains and inflammation out of my fingers, hip, knees, and kneck. I am fasting so it took my hunger headache away fast. Its not a sleeping kinda buzz trust you'll have too much thinking going on but not out of control like a hard Sativa. More like you took a valium and then smoke a Strong joint. it remains under control and if you are a newbie and your feeling a little anxious, losing a little control just repeat to your self "its only bud it's not a heart attack. I can't die from this no one has ever Everr" and you'll be Okay. If you're new just take a couple of hits and work your way up till you hit your sweet spot.
