Genetics & Background
Harlequin is a 75:25 sativa-dominant strain with unusual CBD:THC ratios that can reach 5:2. THC is a modest 4-10%, while CBD reaches 6-15%.
Terpenes
Harlequin's terpene profile: pinene (pine, mental clarity), myrcene (earthy, relaxing), and caryophyllene (spicy, anti-inflammatory).
Appearance
Tightly packed, forest-green buds with vibrant pistils and a moderate trichome coating.
Aroma & Flavor
Very pleasant aroma of wood and earth with mango, tropical fruit, and vanilla undertones.
Effects
Harlequin feels like weed "back in the day" — gentle, clear-headed, and functional. The CBD counteracts the THC's psychoactive potential, making paranoia virtually impossible.
Medicinal Benefits
- Anxiety — the high CBD-to-THC ratio creates the most anxiety-safe cannabis experience available
- Chronic pain & inflammation — high CBD with just enough THC triggers the entourage effect
- Depression — the gentle mood lift can help lift persistent low spirits
