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.

This strain is not for everyone. Best used in the morning or early afternoon. When using it in the evening, be prepared to be active until 02:00-03:00am. It is quite energetic but also relaxing. It generally improves mood and prompts conversation. It can also work well for housework when you need more energy but not that from caffeine. I'm not a sativa guy, more of an indica because of the relaxation and sleep aid.

So be careful if you have problrm with falling asleep or insomnia. Jack Herer can keep you active for hours. If you are looking for a daytime strain I think it has the potency.

I live at the 51rst. parallel and have grown JH for the last 15 years with two dozen other strains. Jack is everything that is advertized. I find that Jack Herer and one other strain, Durban Poison, are the only ones that stimulate the thinking process and increase creativity significantly without putting you to sleep. The energy level that the creativity causes can however be draining .

It is may go to strain if I have to think my way through some very big deals.

I do not claim to be a expert on the weed these days however I've been smoking Mother Natures gift for 58 years and I know great weed from good weed. So my opinion of the Jack Herer strain I have smoked is among my favorite strains

Auto-Flower variety: OMG, so quick and thick buds. Don't harvest too early, wait another two weeks, then pull the cork. Truly a classic, tasty, and healthy.

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

I’m usually an Indica or indica hybrid guy because I could never find a stativa that didn’t cause me to have racy thoughts and panaoia. This one works for me. No paranoia or racy thoughts. I feel focused on task. Tested yesterday and mowed the lawn. Today took a bike ride to the gym and had a great workout. This is highly recommended for anyone who wants a daytime strain and wants to get stuff done
