So I've been doing research lately on marijuana in general to help pain as well as help with motivation. I have 2 severely herniated discs in my lower spine and at time the pain becomes unbearable. I'm 26 and wanted to avoid narcotics/prescription meds for pain (I haven't found one that helps at this time). The first hit I had off the cartridge the only way I can explain it is it's as if it just got full and disappeared after years of pain and losing the ability to do simple tasks to have something so simple change that in a matter a mear minutes almost had me in tears as well as the pain relief i experienced instant clear mindedness and "oomph". My husband also tried this after 15 years of not smoking due to extreme paranoia and depersonalization he tried this after seeing the effects on me and he had instant results that once again had me almost in tears. My husband has struggled with extreme lack of motivation and took a year off work to focus on finding a medication that helped. I counted 25 different prescriptions he tried that had little to no effect on him. He has been so frustrated and depressed over the lack of help from prescriptions he's tried over the last year especially... he said it seemed like nothing would help and was losing help until yesterday. I had purchased this carriage after doing some research on higher CBD lower THC carriages and he bit the bullet and tried it. After one little puff it was like my old husband was back just like that . We were just getting home from a grocery run and he noticed our mini fridge in our room could use cleaning and he just started it. This may seem simple but especially the last year I've witnessed him struggle to just get out of bed,to shower,brush his teeth etc. the mini fridge was just the start he started a new job today and was actually excited about it instead of laying in bed wanting to call in and say forget it. He was up and ready to go before I came back in with breakfast before he left. As a wife watching my husband struggle so much with this with little to no hope of any answers of help anytime soon... To see this change after using it once... Just once has me so happy beyond words. This could change everything for him.. for us and our future. I highly recommend this strain to those who have chronic pain like me (it's also helped my mood I have multiple mental diagnosis and it's stabilized my mood more then my prescriptions ive been on for years) and those who struggle with motivation to do anything. This has changed our lives for the better already after just one day.

This is, for me, a nearly perfect strain. The main issue for which I medicate with cannabis is chronic pain. A lot of strains, especially heavy indicas, will help me ignore the pain. Some other strains will transmute some of the pain, making me sense it as more of a tingling sensation. Very few strains actually get rid of the pain altogether. Harlequin is one of those strains. Using surprisingly little, my neck, back, joint, and arthritic pain just melt away for a bit. My muscles relax more than with harlequin they ever do when I take my prescribed muscle relaxant every night. As a high-CBD strain and a sativa-dominant hybrid, the head high, if there is any (more likely with concentrates than flower, in my experience) is light, clear, and energetic - I can still work without feeling at all impaired. Between the relaxed muscles and the reduced pain, I'm much more flexible and mobile than usual. It makes it easier to do chores around the house and work on various physically-intensive projects. While I'm loose, limber, and not hurting, my body tends to naturally re-align itself a bit better. By halfway through my high, my I'll often notice that my posture has gotten a bit better and my spine a bit straighter than is usually possible given how tense and spastic my muscles can get. Doing some stretching or yoga helps enhances this re-alignment (for lack of a better term). And the positive changes carry on for a few hours to a day after my high ends, before things start tensing up again. This is a medicinal strain. I'd say it definitely has some recreational value, especially if you're sensitive to THC and tend to get anxious on cannabis (like me), if you use enough of it, but with all the CBD, it'd probably take some work to get blasted from this stuff. But mostly, it just does a remarkably job of making me and those I've shared it with functional and pain-free for a little while. If I'm using it at night for whatever reason, it'll absolutely mess with my sleep if I've used it within a couple hours of going to bed. So that's maybe something to watch out for. If only I could find a sleepy indica that worked this well for my pain. My one "complaint" is that this stuff is ridiculously difficult to find, at least out where I live.

O my, Harlequin may be my fav strain to date. Burning migraine pain; mostly facial involvment. Not too dizzy. Pain scale 6-7; nausea 4-5 when I medicated @ 1530 or so. Hits ya hard & doesn't take too long to start working (bout 5 min). Pain/nausea gone. Dizzy bout a 5-6 bu totally ok. Heavy head buzz but not a couch planter. NO ANXIETY PARANOIA. Body high dang near pefect. Relaxed to where I don't wanna do a whole lot but totally awake. Could probably be an awesome worker bud if I had something I needed to do. Will have to try this one again to gauge how this' gonna affect me over a longer period of time.

If anyone ever tells you that this plant is not a true medicine, have them try some of this one. I have chronic shoulder right pain and chronic pancreatitis (also on the upper right of the abdomen) and when they flare up, especially at the same time, the pain can be absolutely depressing and day-ruining. distracting. horrible. i also have PTSD and generalized anxiety and a lot of strains give me panic attacks. i have to be careful about what I pick out but I know what to look for after much trial and error. This strain just melts it all away but also allows me to work and conversate with customers and coworkers (I'm a barber) in a far more fluid manner. multi-tasking becomes a breeze. i swear i get bigger tips when I have just taken a couple of rips off this strain. i bought two more carts after trying two puffs off my pen. I'd like to shake the hands of the fine folks who created this one. God bless. 👊

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.

Let me just begin by saying due to PTSD, I do not like being intoxicated. I have degenerative disc disease: 16 bulging discs, 11 dessicated discs, 5 torn discs leaking inflamatory protein throughout & wake up with a fever daily. I am a mom of 4 and when it comes to pain limiting..."if I feel like I can, I do". When I feel better I do more without thinking about it. After research I knew I needed high CBD, Maryland is limited in CBD strains available, but I hunted down prerolls & vape cartridges in ACDC which helps me a good amount. I was doing a lot more...we are selling our house and a lot needs done before photographers come. I used a swiffer on my kitchen ceiling, washed the top half of a 18 foot chalkboard wall...couldn't do that before ACDC. I over did it reaching for something 4 days ago & broke off a piece of disc and it is touching a nerve. My sterhoid injection is not for 5 more days & I'm in bad shape bed ridden. The slightest movement in my hips makes me scream in pain. ACDC wasn't doing much to help with the intensity. I have been in bed for 4 days, unable to stand from sitting without someone lifting me or rolling onto the floor to my knees and pulling myself to standing with a door frame. With nothing else to do, I searched cbd strains on leafly and decided to try Harlequin. I called dispensaries starting with the closest to me and hunted down a Harlequin vape cartridge by PRIME. I had a friend drive me to get it. I took 4 draws of the Harlequin vape and 30 mins later I didn't feel like sitting down, I was up walking and made dinner for my husband and kids having my kids bend for me. After hour I found myself bending to get ice from my freezer drawer myself, felt pain if I moved to fast but I felt like I could do it myself, & did. I feelt motivated to get things done. Like ACDC I will have to be really careful not to overdo it and injure myself because both kill pain and gives you more range of motion, Harlequin is definately good for more intense pain, gives you added motivation too. I felt like I could clean the house & really wanted to. I vaped Harlequin again before bed (pain usually keeps me up) and fell asleep fine. I just woke up after sleeping 7 hours undisturbed, can barely move...I tried to roll over but it's not happening. Harlequin to the rescue. I need to remind myself "even though you are feeling less pain, you still need to take it easy because you can reinjure yourself by doing to much". Hope this helps others.
