First Impressions
Just like the cannabis icon, the strain Jack Herer doesn't really need a formal introduction. It’s rooted in cannabis folklore and a favorite among anyone who's ever tried it. It’s a true testament to the strains' likability because it’s continued to stay so popular, which doesn't come as a surprise, just a reminder to respect the cannabis greats who paved the way in a much more difficult time of prohibition. I was excited to see this Jack Herer live resin sugar offered by Alchemist at Chesapeake Apothecary, a marijuana dispensary in White Plains, Maryland so I grabbed a gram to try it out…Cheers!
Genetics and Terpenes
The Jack Herer strain is a result of crossing Haze and (Northern Lights #5 and Shiva Skunk) strains that are 80/20 sativa dominant. The dominant terpenes are b-caryophyllene and limonene and this batch is 10.35% total terpenes.
Looks and Consistency
The consistency is perfect for live resin sugar which shimmers when it catches the light. The sugar itself is a beautiful amber orangeish color.
Scent
This Jack Herer live resin smells like citrus, is sweet and sour and has that lemon cleaner chemical scent.
Taste
The taste has a clean live resin flavor and is on the sweet and sour herbal side of the spectrum, it’s less lemony than the aroma lets on.
Effects
The effects of Jack Herer hit almost as soon as I exhaled, delivering an instant, exhilarating buzz. It filled my mind with a sense of clear-headed euphoria and a surge of motivation, making it a go-to strain for when I needed to stay productive and focused on tasks like work, exercise, or gaming. It provided a heady sensation that kept me alert and fine-tuned without making me sleepy or overly amped up.
Final Thoughts
Jack Herer remains a perfect daytime strain that truly lives up to its legendary status. I always like to have a great sativa concentrate in rotation with whatever else I’m dabbing on at the time, so this live resin sugar from Alchemist is going to be a jar I go back to whenever I’m getting low. It offers a consistent, high quality experience that balances a cerebral headspace with a functional energy, allowing me to get things done. This classic remains an essential choice in my rotation and for that reason it’s getting the Certified Stoner Stamp of Approval so be sure to check this out at either of Chesapeake Apothecary locations in Maryland!
