Jack Herer, also known as "JH," "The Jack," "Premium Jack," and "Platinum Jack" is a sativa-dominant marijuana strain that has gained as much renown as its namesake, the marijuana activist and author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes. Combining a Haze hybrid with a Northern Lights #5 and Shiva Skunk cross, Sensi Seeds created Jack Herer hoping to capture both cerebral elevation and heavy resin production. Its rich genetic background gives rise to several different variations of Jack Herer, each phenotype bearing its own unique features and effects. Leafly reviewers tell us that Jack Herer’s effects include feeling energetic, creative, and uplifted. However, consumers typically describe this 55% sativa hybrid as blissful, clear-headed, and creative. Jack Herer was created in the Netherlands in the mid-1990s, where it was later distributed by Dutch pharmacies as a recognized medical-grade strain. Since then, this spicy, pine-scented strain has taken home numerous awards for its quality and potency.

We have the 'love & hate' relationship, me and Jack. It's a legendary strain and when you smoke it, you just know this is some oldschool, powerful stuff. The era of weed when each strain had it's own, unique effects. But let's start with it's smell and taste. The smell is and always will be an absolute abomination. It smells like old rotting herbs lying in Skunk's funk. It makes you almost dizzy how powerful is that smell. The taste is not THAT horrible... but it's still not very good hahah let's be honest. It tastes like if someone made a joint of earth, herbs and skunk's musk. Now the effects! Jack is very "sunshine-y" you feel like your mind is opened to some greater knowledge. Very cerebral. Like the windows to your head would be opened after some long time. Could be almost psychedelic, unique and I really wouldn't recommend it to newbies. It makes your eyes and throat extremely dry and is not usable for pain-relieving purposes. It's an oldschool, powerful and UNIQUE strain which if you try once, you remember it forever. It's a window to a different times of weed.

I tried this strain as everyone was recommending it for chronic migraine and I’m glad I did. I use this to keep the constant pain under wraps a little bit. Then when it is really bad I use Grandi guava too which is a god send at reducing severe migraine pain. The bonus with Jack is that it also does wonders for my mental health, I have BPD, chronic anxiety and autism and this strain makes me feel almost “free”, I feel light and happy and giggly and relaxed which is a nice break from my chaotic mind

One of my favorites. Cartridge from Redbud Roots. Very good for focus and socializing. I have adhd which makes it super hard to just sit down and watch a show or movie or play a game without checking my phone/doing something with my hands but this strain gets me locked in. Helps with anxiety and overthinking.
