Strain: Jack Herer
Category: Sativa
Genetics: Haze x Northern Lights #5 x Skunk #1
For any cultivator of medical cannabis, it is both a pleasure and a challenge to wisely select strains that stand out within the vast and ever-expanding scope of well-known medicinal genetics. To curate a complete menu of quality cannabis varieties with diverse symptomatic applications requires careful consideration and continued research. Thankfully, there exist a few strains of such distinction that to even consider an alternative would be all but unthinkable. The decision to feature Jack Herer as our premier sativa is one such example.
Named for the late author and cannabis advocate, Jack Herer is the product of professional strategic breeding at its very best. Dutch growers have long known that the combination of Haze and Northern Lights genetics frequently produces spectacular results. The Jack Herer strain is the product of great patience, as the perfect plants were selected by Sensi Seeds to parent this classic cross. So successful was the outcome that even Jack Herer himself spoke of enjoying it in his final interview before passing in 2010.
Our unique version of this impressive sativa expresses a buttery citrus aroma distinct from the menthol and pine notes found in many common phenotypes. Its flavor is smooth with hints of grapefruit, but is decidedly subtle when compared to the skunky punch of a Kush or Diesel. Flavor, however, is a secondary consideration for the many patients who swear by this strain. Its famously invigorating effects are known for providing stimulation along with symptom relief, and we routinely hear from patients who report powering through stress, depression, and fatigue with Jack Herer’s help.
This famously motivational and medicinal strain demonstrates that well-bred cannabis is more than the sum of its parts. Patients for whom productivity is a priority will find what they’re looking for in this superior plant and we’re proud to produce it to the highest possible standards.
