We grew out Harlequin and the effects were nothing like any other strain we have tried. There is no buzz. You get a feeling in your body but it's hard to explain. Pain goes away with it but like yoss said, there are no mental effects. No anxiety killing properties and definitely not a heavy sleepy effect either. It seems its the weed for people that wanna smoke, get the taste and not get high...
I know the person who ran the analytics for the CBD crew, and saw his methodology in play, and held the results (TLC plates) from the CBD Crew test grow in my own hands, and can confirm 100% that the CBD crew seeds are all CBD enriched and show the desired THC:CBD ratio in the desired 1:1 ratio. In practice, you may find plants that are 1:2 or 2:1 but they are all cannabinoid type II plants with both significant amounts of both THC and CBD.
From the result of 100 plants I saw that were tested, they all showed the desired Chemotype II profile consistently. You might find a 7%:7% plant or a 12%:12%, but they will all be CBD rich and in a roughly 1:1 ratio.
Hope that answers your question.

Absolutely CBD is for real in terms of valuable medicine. I am using Cannatonic for chronic arthritis pain and it's excellent. I think Project CBD's plants may be crosses of Cannatonic.
Not all of Cannatonic was supposed to have CBD, but both of the two females I got have it - one seems to be all CBD, the other a split of THC/CBD. It gives me the same feeling as the CBD plant when mixed with other strains.
I am interested in trying project CBD some time down the road, I don't buy seeds often though. I would highly recommend Cannatonic, not only does it have CBD but it's hardy and an oustanding yielder. I'm wondering why they haven't done another run, perhaps the original clones are not available anymore. That would be a shame.
I have their Z7 (tested at 10%THC and 15%CBD) and I love it. Good smoke, with very complex flavor, and a nice calming & relaxing high.
I've been on darn pain-killers since quite a few years and am currently in the last days of my shifting from codein to cannabis (oh boy did the Cup help for that!).
For pain management, I prefer to ingest it so I have to find the right dose, but this morning I brew a tea with 0.3gr. The flavour was insane strong and had me drink only half the cup. Felt no pain during the day, being from the last twitches of withdrawal or from my back itself, just a light & warm buzz wrapping the whole body with clear & relaxed mind.
And this IQ thing.. It's rather the society they grow in that makes them IQ go backward, certainly not the Healer of Nations !

I picked up a Harlequin clone a few weeks ago at Harborside. I plan on flowering it sometime this year. I've never tried a high CBD strain, but I'm interested in the medicinal properties. It would be nice to have a strain that works well for pain (if I ever need it) without getting me too high to do my job effectively. I'm interested in the cancer fighting properties too, just in case I or someone close to me needs it.
Keeping a high CBD mother plant just seems like a good idea for the long term. I have other strains when I want something more spiritual or recreational.
yes very interesting cbd crew is I believe the only seedbank with stable seeds and really does sell what they say they are selling
Is the Z6/Z7 lemony/citrusy as the main aroma?
I'd recommend CBD strains to kids under 16 due to the fact that it doesn't get you "high" it gets your equalized. I did feel a slight effect in the Nordle but by no means pain relieving or anxiety relieving. Infact I had troubles with insomnia after smoking the nordle. That's my 2 cents there on the medi benifits.
