Description
Named in honor of the renowned Cannabis activist and author, Jack Herer, this strain has solidified its place as one of the most iconic in the Cannabis world. A frequent winner of the High Times Cannabis Cups, Jack Herer stands alongside legendary strains like Haze and Skunk, which defined the scene in the ’80s and ’90s. Known for its complex flavor profile and potent effects, it has become a staple in both Amsterdam and the USA.
Jack Herer is a strikingly tall plant, showcasing the classic Christmas tree structure characteristic of Haze strains. Its robust branches support long, resin-coated colas. While the flowers may not be the densest, they flourish throughout the plant, with trichomes extending even to the stems under optimal conditions, delivering an intense psychoactive experience.
The aroma is a sophisticated blend of woody and pine notes from its Haze lineage, reminiscent of incense or church, combined with the sweet undertones of Skunk. On exhale, a subtle metallic hint adds depth to the experience. This strain’s intricate flavor profile makes it a pleasure to consume, offering powerful, long-lasting effects on both the body and mind. The dominant terpenes include Terpinolene, α-Pinene, and β-Caryophyllene.
