With parent strains of Harlequin and Jack the Ripper, this goal was achieved and a unique medical cannabis strain was created.
This strain has equal amounts of THC and CBD that range between 12% to 15%, with average samples testing at 13%. This strain will rarely have high levels of THC and CBD will range from below 9% to over 15%.
