A beautiful specimen of medical marijuana! -Mrs. Chubbs
Submitted by: Ghost Guy (Member)
Name: Jack Herer
From: Long Beach Organics (Dispensary – Long Beach)
Grade: A+
Type: Sativa
Price: $20/G
Looks: You can tell just by looking at it that this is something special. Nicely colored hairs, nooks and crannies are full of trichomes. Very pretty.
Smell: This smells like my default scent of marijuana. What I always thought it should smell like. Green, earthy with a nice hint of pine.
Taste: Absolutely delicious. Earthy and piney, with a distinct sweetness to it out of my Vapor Genie. Out of a pipe, it loses a lot of the sweetness, but it still has a strong, pleasant flavor.
Smokeability: Vapor Genie – Flawless. Tasty, smooth, etc. Pipe – Still very tasty, but there’s a tiny bit of harshness to it. Not enough to make me cough, even with a large toke, but I could feel it in there.
Buzz Type: Very high. Extreme positive moodshift, great mental clarity, not a hint of paranoia. Happy, almost giddy – though I did pass the line way into giddy after watching a video of a cute kitten. Very energetic, almost speedy. There is absolutely no heaviness in this.
Buzz Length: Moderate-long. An average sized bowl lasted a couple hours, maybe a bit more.
Overall: EXTREMELY nice bud. It has everything. This is my first A+ smoke. It really does everything right. This is, in my opinion, an EXCELLENT strain for those (like me) suffering from depression, loss of motivation, fatigue, etc. I also suffer from anxiety, and I don’t get the paranoid sketchy feeling that some of the really high energy sativas give me.
Buzz Report: I bought a Vapor Genie recently, and I wanted a really top notch strain to try in it. I’ve been hearing rave reviews about Jack Herer, so I figured I’d give it a shot. I also smoked it out of my regular pipe, so I’m covering both aspects in this review.
Had a moderate onset. Took a couple of minutes after my first toke to start feeling it. But when I felt it, I definitely felt it. I was first hit by a positive wave. My mindset instantly flipped to “YAY!”. After that, I was hit by a smooth rush of energy. I love that speedy feeling, and this was as smooth and as clear as I’ve felt it. It wasn’t an obnoxious energy that’s uncomfortable until you jog around to wear it off a bit, but it’s definitely there.
This is an absolutely amazing strain. If you get a chance, check it out. Unless it’s poorly grown, you’re sure to be in for a treat

looks nice always enjoy some jack. mrs chubbs you should post the dank jack i sent it

I love me some Jack Herer! I can’t believe that kind of quality came from LBO. As much as I used to love that place I wound up constantly disappointed by the quality, but this stuff looks fantastic! Nice review
This is a timely review, Jack Herer suffered a heart attack in September at Hempstalk in Oregon. Have a smoke for Jack and his wife, they need it right now. Check jackherer com for news.
I passed this one up because I have J1 which I really love but wanted to try somnething new. In fact J1 is my favorite of all the strains I have tried. I decieded to go with a white widow/trainwreck cross (Whitewreck) that turned out to be a total flop a B or C class. I’m really kicking myself for not going with this one. Does Jack Herer vary that greatly from J1 and if so how? I love the energy I get from J1 without the burnout. Also, I live up North in Sacramento can I write a review?
Jack Herer is some damn good bud! I rolled up a 1.2 gram joint this morning around 830 still high. Im glad theres some still really good sativas out there im getting tired of all the kush in LongBeach (aka. bongleach!)haha. Gotta love this strain.
Jack Herer has been an excellent anti-convulsant, anti-seizure medication in treating my epilepsy and a terrific antidepressant and anti-nausea and pain medication for me. I have epilepsy and also chronic pain from cancer (for which i was prescribed a lot of narcotic pain killers – dilaudid, morphine, which i just stopped taking by choice because i really felt they could NOT be good for me and that I’d rather have the pain than be on those drugs every day of my life. The epilepsy medication has put me into first stage liver and kidney failure and now all epilepsy medication comes with a required FDA warning that it may increase your risk of attempting suicide (which is already increased if you are epileptic).
So, Jack Herer is as one reviewer wrote, a really good strain because there is a really great mental clarity here: it is very bright. You are not out of it or whatever. I go about my work every day and so on and use just enough medication so that I do not have seizures and am not in pain.
As for nausea, I have true dystonia (life threatening allergic reaction) to all anti-nausea drugs in the phenothiazine family which is pretty much all of them that they can give you for cancer, except Zofran, which never worked for me. Two puffs of Jack and my pain is gone and I stop vomiting right away.
I cannot recommend this strain highly enough for its medicinal uses alone, let alone the rest. For me, the decision to cut back or stop using narcotic pain killers and drugs that have caused permanent damage to my internal organs versus Jack Herer which has the side effect of giving me perhaps the giggles or, gosh, maybe even euphoria (!), it’s not such a hard decision.
I would like to know if anyone has any knowledge of any other strains of Sativa (i cannot use indica at all really) that have a similar effect as Jack: that is to say, that are bright and light and clear and have a very uplifting positive feeling to them. Obviously, only trial and error would show whether or not the other strain would help with my epilepsy and cancer pain and etc but I would be interested. I tried some other strains but so far, only Jack seems to work for me.
Any ideas? Please let me know – it’s not always easy to find Jack and I need an alternate or two.
Thanks for writing about this fine bud = i’m glad to see it here and glad to have a chance to say how much it has helped me. After so many years of being so sick and in and out (mostly in: i just got home again – today – from the hospital) of the hospital, i can tell you that before i used this medicine I had status epilepticus (that’s back to back seizures for hours at a time and a life-threatening emergency), three times in the year before i decided to start using sativa and cut back on the other anticonvulsant which contributed in part to my kidney failure (stage one).
Since that time, I have not had any seizures. I have, however, had the giggles – how awful for an epileptic cancer patient to actually laugh and smile as a side-effect from a drug that is actually also helping treat and heal.
Would love to know of other strains and also others who may be using Jack or other strain for epilepsy or pain.
thanks, apologies for length.
