Harlequin reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Harlequin.
Really good for fibromyalgia. Deals with pain and helps focus. Pura Earth's concentrate is very good, but I've tried flower as well and it's very helpful for generalized pain. It kicked a migraine down by 2 points on the pain scale, which is impressive.

Great for pain
our number one pick when it comes to comnbating depression; we have a very famous and potent cannabis strain; Harlequin. Harlequin is a seventy-five, to twenty-five Sativa dominant strain. What this means, is that it has a very strong CBD to THC ratio. As we discussed, it is the presence of CBD that creates the effects we are looking for. Harlequin is a decadent of a strain called Columbiana Gold, a Nepali indica, as well as Thai and Swiss landrace strains. With a ratio of 5:2, CBD to THC, this strain provides relaxation, and relief from pain, stress, and anxiety. With an earthy smell and a mango like the taste, Harlequin is a favorite of many, and for good reason. Taking the number one spot on our list for a reason, this strain will help relieve depression and anxiety-like no other. Let’s continue on!
This was my first time dabbing a CBD focused product. The consistency was noticeably more stringy and soft compared to a typical high-THC product from West Edison Concentrates. Flavor was noticeably different in that the typical dryness that THC seems to provide was replaced with a much more 'fruity' and 'salivating' characteristic. The high of a CBD product is different than that from a high THC product. This shatter was in a ratio of about 1:1.25 of THC:CBD. I would describe the high as being similar in character to a typical stone but without any distraction or intoxication. It makes you high without being high. The nature of it is a little paradoxical and hard to describe. It's there, but you don't ever notice it. You can't find it if you go looking for it. The end result of this is a high that feels much more controllable. The only strongly defining characteristic is a relatively deep sense of relaxation. It's the most gentle high you can get. There's a thought in my mind that these kinds of products maybe more suitable for regular consumption than whats currently sought after in the market. While many claim cannabis can be used as a medicine only strains like these should be seriously considered.
My all-time favorite for helping ease back pain/muscle tension. Lifts your mind up as it lightens your bodily aches. I've tried it in both 1:1 and 2:1 CBD:THC levels and found little difference in the high, but the physical relief of the higher CBD is noticeable. Worth saying that I have only vaped Harlequin, both flower and concentrate.
First and foremost, Harlequin is a purely medicinal strain, so if you're wondering why you aren't getting high it's because there ain't no THC in them nugs. Now, for those of us who happen to enjoy high CBD to THC and have a little more feel for the highly complex interaction between these two principle cannabinoids and their effect on our personal endocannabinoid system – gotta say, Harlequin is pretty rad! While sharing subtle similarities, it is also much different than something like Cannatonic. Last night I had a full Arizer Air bowl of pure Harlequin turned to the 2'nd level heat setting of 374 degrees and noticed the muscle relaxation effects kick in almost immediately. Although, I will admit that knowing that I wouldn't get high whatsoever and not having a problem with that because I wasn't really in a getting-high kind of mood I started to feel bummed that I wasn't feeling high about halfway through the bowl. So, just now I mixed a half-and-half bowl of Harlequin and White Dawg and it was a whole different and very awesome experience culminating in the best of both worlds, high CDB - and high THC ratio! seriously, check out these test results from the labels on the bottles.
Harlequin (Native Roots Edgewater): CBDA: 7.4% - 8.9% THCA: 4.43% -5.02% THC: 3.95% - 4.52%
White Dawg (Lightshade 6'th Avenue): THC: 0.56% THCA: 29.11% CBDA 0.94%
It is cool to feel how the high CBD has a regulatory checks and balances effect on THC. One minute you feel high, then the next you feel relaxed and completely sober; but still kinda high, but not high. It's a stoner's version of Schrodinger's cat, paradoxically you feel both high and not high. Oddly enough I'd say that the THC has the better general anesthetic properties while the CBD has the better muscle relaxant effects and that you notice with a strong Indica. Typically something like White Dawg leans towards the kind of awesome paranoid/racey/spacey/creative kind of high that people can find unpleasant. With the inclusion of Harlequin this mystical effect was almost completely blocked in favor of a completely lucid sober yet still relaxed and stoned sensation of the White Dawg subtly below the surface. What has sold me on the high CBD strains recently is for the past few years I've dealt with TMJ issues from getting socked in the jaw during various forms of MMA training, snowboarding, and longboarding; plus a whole long list of sports injuries going back to childhood. Long story short, sports beat the hell out of you and eventually you have a long list of kick-ass injuries. This is where high CBD strains happen to shine; old, nagging injuries tend to leave you in a state of constant tension and muscle guarding to avoid new injuries. CBD allows you to relax and let your muscles recuperate for a deliberately planned rest day and not another impromptu trail run or workout sesh.
My go to for chronic pain and anxiety. Helps great with Fibromyalgia nerve pain as well. Great daytime medicine!!
Looking for reviews so I can see if it’s right for me. After scrolling through 5 pages of Buy My Bud ads BS, I gave up. Wonder if the dispos know about these crap ads? Does Leafly?
