Harlequin

I’ll admit, I used to be a bit skeptical of high-CBD strains. I mean, who wants to feel like they just crawled out of a pillow fort at noon? But Harlequin is something else entirely. It delivers a calm that’s focused, not foggy. No couch-lock, no droopy eyelids. Just a gentle hum of relaxation that lets me tackle my to-do list without the anxiety gremlins. It gets bonus points for being an effective pain relief strain, used by people fighting inflammation related issues.

Choose Harlequin if you’re looking for a true harbinger of fall aromas and flavors. The first whiff is like a stroll through an autumn orchard – earthy, with a hint of sweetness and maybe a touch of mango. The taste is just as delightful, smooth and mellow, leaving a lingering warmth on your tongue.
