Jack Herer is a Sativa-dominant hybrid strain, which received its name after a famous cannabis-legalization activist Jack Herer. It is a nine-time winner of the Cannabis Cup that is also known for its bizarre and remarkable effects. Jack Herrer strain owes the creation to famous Sensi Seeds from the Netherlands back in the mid-80s or early 90s. Unfortunately, the exact genetics are kept in secret, but it is considered to be a cross between Northern Lights, Haze, and Shiva Skunk.
Absolutely agree with Steven, Jack Herer is my mood uplifter anyday anytime baby.

All About Jack Herer Cannabis Strain
This cannabis strain contains an average THC level that ranges between 17%-20% and a small CBD level of about 0.9%-1.4%. Jack Herer strain can become a sensible option for novices due to its lack of severe negative effects. It is a wake and bake strain, which is the best for morning and daytime consumption. But it is a poor choice to smoke it before bed, as it just won’t let one fall asleep.
Usually, the flowers emit citrus and lemon scent with peppery tones. Another property of Jack Herer weed strain is an unusual flavor. The pungent herbal taste delivers a chilly, refreshing feeling to the throat, in addition to a durable presence of citrusy hints. When the buds are burnt, they release a distinct floral aroma, which reminds of sage.
Jack Herer Strain Typical Effects
Right with the first puff, a potent head buzz provides an energizing, mind-clearing influence. The high increases focus, creativity and purifies from unnecessary thoughts. After some time, the body will also catch up with a calming sensation without affecting its functionality. On top of that, a feeling of euphoria and ease can result in an engaging conversation or meditations.
At the same time, this weed can alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression. It is also known to have relieving effects when dealing with migraines and body pains. The side effects are mostly similar to other strains, so the only thing to avoid is overconsumption. But some reviewers state that it is possible to feel an increased frequency of heartbeats. Again, it is important to mention that it is a bad idea to treat insomnia with this marijuana.

Absolutely agree with Steven, Jack Herer is my mood uplifter anyday anytime baby.
Climate wise I had the growing part hacked, but the constant pruning was so tedious.
i've struggled with couch locking cramps for over five years now and i refuse refuse to rely on painkillers. Luckily a roommate got me on this bad boy and guess who can walk around pain free on her periods? Me Suckers!
Unless you are planting it indoors the bugger needs plenty of sunlight. Mediterranean kind.
wouldn't believe my eyes when I saw a flower start blooming at week 9. Thought it was all a farce when they told me by week 10 the flowers would be maturing. But now I see. It must have been cause of the fertilizer i put in. Can't wait to try again.
Hands down my to go to strain for when I am feeling down. It gets me all happy go lucky and giggly. sometimes i be giggling at nothing. Like this one time I packed a bpwl with it and sprinkled some hash, I was laughing at clouds. Literal ordinary clouds.
Felt very uplifted the whole day, my depression went away and i definitely had a feeling of nostalgia and calmness. Almost like i was outside talking to my grandparents and the sun was going down. Highly would recommend this in Flower form.
The high is super awesome. It makes me feel calm then the relaxation begins to set in. The high does not render me useless or unconscious. Instead it makes my mind clear and allows me to make open-minded decisions.
A perfect sativa dominant breed. The taste is great- it has this blend of pine, earthly and woody taste that makes it all natural. Don’t even get me started on the flavor, it is f**king lush. The after taste is to live for.
It is very good at reducing chronic pain. This is one of the traits listed on allbud. It works for all level of pain. It may be general body pain due to a long and stressful day. It may also be a chronic pain such as cancer pain. It interacts with pain receptors and blocks its pathway , therefore alleviating pain.
I am a very sensitive person so, I usually feel nauseated. Sometime, it could be several weeks after taking a prescribed medication and the horrible taste still lingers at the back of my throat. This dope rids me of nausea. The sweet and lemon scent leaves a refreshing aftertaste in my mouth.
This is a very useful sativa breed especially medically. It addresses a lot of medical problems that science has not been able to thoroughly provide answers for. ADH is taken care of with minimal to zero side effects.
This strain is the go-to for me because it has a lot of benefits. It meets my daily needs in a few puffs. Wakes me up properly and keeps me motivated to keep pushing on. On top of all these, it keeps me in a good mood.
I never had a kush which delivers an euphoric feeling like this sativa. It makes it very good in dealing with depression as listed on leafly. The woody flavor makes the whole experience better.
Just one puff is enough to make me relaxed, calm and clear minded at any time of the day.
migraines have made life miserable for me. But, this kush has helped me live comfortably without the pain.
I stumbled upon Jack Herer concentrate and I absolutely loved every bit of this pot.
I am not a morning person, always grumpy in the morning. This mj turns me into a happy morning person.
The flavor is unquestionably unique. It smells like sage. it is refreshing and waoow
I think that this pot makes me anxious which increases my heart beat and maybe blood pressure too.
The flavor and aroma is dope but it is not as potent as it is beefed up to be.
Never had a weed that tasted this great!
the aroma is soooo nice
helps me focus
Makes me unable to fall asleep.
one of a kind
MY morning wake up call
Helps clear migraines and lifting moods. It has a nice head buzz too.
What suprises me most with this cannabis is it power to cure asthma. When a friend mentioned this I was in doubt and I had to try it. Worked more than I thought and am still amazed by that effect. Its offers more than just getting high and happy.
Made me feel dizzy and moments later I blacked out, didn’t like this.
Has a high cerebral impulse that greatly reduces stress and anxiety, I love it.
Super cool weed! So much motivation and energy on one little pack.
Been on it for almost 10 years and still is my favorite ganja. No severe side effects whatsover.
Has a sweet aftertaste and leaves me feeling so high. Great for morning use before heading to wor.
My nightshifts used to be so hectic but not until I tried this pot. I actually look forward to them now!
Every drag is filled with happiness and a boost of energy. I really enjoy the high from this MF!
Took a few puffs before bedtime and I barely closed my eyes. Strictly not suitable for use before bedtime.
Great weed to relax and unwind.
This shit is my all time choice.
Increases my concentration in class.
Clears the head with just one puff.
My favorite kush, very potent.
A-W-E-S-O-M-E mmj
