Pennywise takes hold relatively quickly, stimulating the smoker’s mind before going to work on the body. External stimulation like certain sights or sounds may take on a new dimension or intensity. Thanks to this strain’s indica influence and CBD content, though, its head high is not overly cerebral or disorienting. Instead, consumers are able to maintain lucid conversation or to execute complicated, detail-oriented tasks. Pennywise may also be helpful for opening up creative avenues for projects like brainstorming or crafting. Fairly soon, users are immersed in the strain’s soothing physical properties. Progressive waves of relaxation roll down through the neck and core, relieving and spots of lingering muscular tension and helping to facilitate deep and easy breathing. At this point, energy levels begin to dip and the average consumer may not want to do much more than lounge on the closes comfortable surface.

Atmospheric media like a moody movie or playlist can help to enhance this strain’s relaxation even further. Since it mostly allows smokers to keep their wits about them, Pennywise can also be a fun bud for social situations, stoking free-flowing conversation and camaraderie. If the dosage is increased, beware that this very relaxing strain comes with the possibility of intractable couchlock and may even lull users to sleep in the right set and setting. Because of its mostly kicked-back vibes, Pennywise is recommended for consumption starting in the late afternoon, when its eventually sedative mood can be fully appreciated.

Pennywise also has significant medical uses that flow from its high 1:1 ratio of THC to the more therapeutic cannabinoid CBD. High CBD strains have shown potential in alleviating the effects of PTSD, arthritis, epilepsy and various neurological disorders. These kinds of strains have also been observed to have neuroprotective properties. Pennywise’s generally sedate mood can even help relieve stress and calm anxiety.
