What is the Jack Herer strain?

Jack Herer is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its uplifted effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Jack Herer is a legendary sativa-dominant hybrid strain named after the renowned cannabis rights activist and author of 'The Emperor Wears No Clothes,' Jack Herer, who passed away in 2010. Originally created by Sensi Seeds in the Netherlands in the mid-1990s, the strain was developed to capture both cerebral elevation and heavy resin production. The true genetics of Jack Herer consist of (Northern Lights #5 x Haze A) x (Skunk #1 x Haze C), though it is commonly described as a three-way cross of Haze, Northern Lights #5, and Shiva Skunk (though this is disputed by breeders). This strain has gained recognition as a medical-grade cannabis variety, distributed by Dutch pharmacies, and has won numerous awards including multiple High Times Cannabis Cup victories.

Jack Herer is a balanced hybrid with approximately 55-60% sativa and 40-45% indica genetics, providing users with the best of both worlds - energizing cerebral effects combined with mild body relaxation. The strain produces dense, resin-covered buds with a sparkling crystalline appearance, featuring bright green hues accented by rusty orange pistils and abundant trichomes that give it a frosty, sticky texture. Jack Herer exhibits a complex aromatic profile with herbal spice, sweet pine, citrus, and woody notes, creating an inviting fragrance that signals its top-shelf quality.
