Here we go. So this Pennywise was a 1:1 ratio of THC and CBD (9% of each to be exact) so then. Very cautious about taking anything with THC in it, or high amounts for sure, so Pennywise seemed like a good alternative to some others out there. It was a very mellow feeling....no racing heart just calm. No heavy headed feeling either. What a bonus there. Definitely will use again.

This is easily the best strain I've ever smoked, medicinally or recreationally, and I've smoked for 10 years. In terms of my conditions, I find this strain eliminates my chronic nerve pain, especially the breakthrough pain, and does absolute wonders on my anxiety. The 1:1 THC:CBD content really makes it the most effective for both of my conditions. It improves my mood dramatically and leaves me with a lot more cognitive function than any other strain I've tried. It tastes absolutely great; I remarked to my partner while I was smoking it, "It tastes like herbal candy!" Great stuff, I'd recommend it to anyone who needs a good indica.

My favorite strain so far. I suffer from depression and an anxiety disorder, and this strain treats both. Made me feel very relaxed with just a little head buzz. High in CBD is the way to go for me. Definitely recommend for anxiety and depression.

Pennywise is the strain that changed my life. It's the first cannabis I've used in four years. I stopped because I had started having anxiety attacks every time I was high. It didn't take many times for that to scare me off. I have anxiety and depression, and it's such a relief to have found Pennywise. I felt nothing but positive impact on my chemicals after sipping vapor for a steady two hours. I paced myself and found that it was easy to get uplifting and relaxing effects without getting too stoned. That made it perfect for me to ease into being high again without the risk of an anxiety reaction. I did up the pace after a while, and found that it didn't have any sativa "racy" effects. It is definitely an indica in the way it mellowed me, but with the twist of being uplifting that would make it a great social strain. It isn't sedative. I'd definitely need something stronger for sleep. It's perfect for all my other needs though.

My favorite strain so far. I suffer from depression and anxiety, which quadruples with PMDD (a severe form of PMS) every month. This strain helps with all three. Felt very relaxed with very little head buzz. I highly recommend this strain for those who prefer the medical benefits this strain provides and still have a clear head.

Pennywise has been my go-to strain for Cluster Headache pain management. I have debilitating headaches that come on within minutes, or wake me from a deep sleep, and reach a pain level of around 8 to 10 very rapidly. The extreme pain can make me very nauseous, restless, and anxious if left untreated. At the first sign of a headache, I vaporize about 200mg of finely ground bud, and within seconds I am feeling real pain relief. With every toke, the pain in my head is reduced by about one point value. After 10 tokes and about 15 minutes later, I have no headache pain and I am able to get back to sleep. This strain is definitely a super heavy indica. I am left feeling very mellow, relaxed, sleepy, slightly euphoric and it does give me the munchies. I may or may not have had 15 tacos from del taco.

KILLS PAIN. I got some Pennywise BHO on 4/20/15 and it showed me nature put a safe painkiller in a flower — and it's called Cannabis, not Opium Poppy! I'd just been diagnosed with shoulder tendinitis, and that's on top of widespread pain from fibromyalgia and TMJ issues with muscular pain in face/jaw/neck and occasional tension headaches. This is the first high-CBD strain I've tried and I was floored! Pennywise literally killed my pain after two big hits of my vape. This was maybe late-afternoon or early evening. And shockingly, the pain was still gone when I got up the next day, an effect that only started to fade later that day. I was conserving my BHO, not sure when I'd be able to get more. I didn't "need" more for a few days. The pain continued to be decreased. This (and hopefully other high-CBD strains) is nothing short of a miracle in my mind and I think (and hope) it will be a game changer in the world of those suffering from severe pain.

I discovered PennyWise at the Downtown Dispensary in Tucson. What a find! I deal with degenerative joint disease, degenerative disc disease, and PTSD. Pharmaceutical medicines often don't agree with me (and usually don't work, and have awful side effects). When I whiffed this excellent medicine, the aroma reached out and sucked me right into the jar. I bought an ounce. In six weeks, I've gone from taking three different kinds of sleeping pills to...NONE. After literally 40 years of night terrors I can finally go to bed like a normal person and fall asleep and sleep through the night. The anti-inflammatory medicine I've been dutifully swallowing for years and years...I've tapered off that. My joint pain is no worse, and is getting steadily better, the longer I use my PennyWise. My stomach is much happier, too! This is beautiful weed, people. Whether you suffer from bodily pain, life trauma, or both, I hope you can find some of this healing medicine.
