About Jack Herer Strain:

Jack Herer is a sativa dominant strain best known for its stress-relieving and relaxation-promoting effects. To commemorate Jack Herer‘s fight for cannabis decriminalization and legalization, Sensi Seeds developed this invigorating strain in the 1990s. Jack Herer is a result of crossing three classics, Northern Lights, Haze, and Shiva Skunk – it’s no surprise that it has clocked many first-place High Cannabis Cup awards.

The entire Jack Herer plant is a beauty, from its structure to its buds. Most users notice its natural green hue and shimmering, diamond-like aesthetics even before the aroma hits. Its bright, light green buds also don’t disappoint in any way. They are dense and extremely sticky, blanketed with frosty resin and clear trichomes.

Its bold aesthetics are complemented by its delicate flavor and robust aroma. Jack Herer is said to have a piney and woody flavor with a kick of citrus aroma. This weed strain is your best choice if you want something to kick out stress, anxiety, or depression. It is also reported to relieve migraines and promote deep relaxation while still allowing you to be attentive and conversant.  

Smell/Flavor:

Jack Herer is the most famous sativa strain in cannabis history for a reason. Once you break open the densely-packed buds, you’re instantly hit by an intense citrus smell accompanied by a peppery kick. Upon burning the flower, however, the citrus aroma is quickly replaced by a clean and herbal smell. Cured properly, the sticky buds offer an orange-lemon zest and often leave behind a spicy-floral smell lingering in the room.

The taste of Jack Herer is slightly similar to its smell. Its smooth and easy smoke possesses an earthy, woody flavor thanks to its complex terpene profile. According to Leafly, this unique-tasting strain has Linalool, Myrcene, Pinene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene, from where it gets its woody, piney taste with an appealing peppery aftertaste.

High/Effects:

Jack Herer has been well received by recreational and medical marijuana users thanks to its unmatched effects. This fast-acting strain offers a euphoric high with a perfect balance between cerebral and physical effects. It leaves you deeply relaxed but not too overwhelmed as to not be attentive or conversant.

The first toke of Jack Herer hits you with a potent and energizing headrush that gradually spreads down throughout your body, leaving you in a state of bliss and relaxation. These effects are then followed by an alert and awe-inspiring high that spins and twists your imagination and visualization. Not only does Jack Herer allow you to stretch your creative muscles, but it also gives you a sense of ease, ideal for facilitating conversations and keeping them kindled for hours.

People with low-grade stress, anxiety, and depression can benefit from the mellow high of Jack Herer. Those experiencing chronic pain, aches, and migraines may also find relief from this strain’s soothing effects. High doses have also been reported to help with loss of appetite, nausea, and stomach upset. But it’s important to avoid consuming too much as overconsumption of THC can lead to paranoia and anxiety.
