Description
This strain may sound familiar to seasoned stoners and newbie potheads alike. That’s because Jack Herer is one of the most famous strains in North America. Developed by Dutch breeders in the mid-1990s, this 55/45 Sativa-dominant hybrid is named after the esteemed American cannabis activist Jack Herer.
Herer, who went by the nickname “the Hemperor,” campaigned for the international acceptance of marijuana as a medicine. Herer passed away in 2010, but his legacy lives on in the strain. It’s a heavy-hitter, featuring a THC content that may reach 20 percent or more. which won the 7th Cannabis Cup and numerous other awards. It features a clear-headed Sativa high that can boost creativity and improve sociability.
Highlights:
- Balanced 55/45 Sativa-dominant hybrid
- High THC content: between 17 and 20 percent
- Rare terpene profile emphasizing tones of fruit and pepper
- High resin production
- Perfect wake-and-bake strain

Uses and Effects
This Sativa-dominant strain is notable for its clear-headed, cerebral high. Smokers can spark up Jack Herer at any time of day without having to worry about becoming too sedated. It offers fairly stimulating effects that can help inspire creativity and make smokers more social. Jack Herer’s warm, giggly high is perfect for a night out rather than staying in. This strain may be able to alleviate symptoms of issues like PTSD, migraines, and ADHD.
In addition, some of the possible benefits of Jack Herer may include:
- Energizing euphoria
- Relaxed and calming effects
- Reduced pain
- Manage swelling
- Banishing anxiety and depression
Aroma and Appearance
Jack Herer nugs are visually stunning. They’re hard, dense buds that hold up well in a container but readily crumble between the fingers. It’s completely coated in trichomes, looking like small crystals of sugar that glisten in any available light. Crops of orange-amber hairs sprout readily from between green buds, crowning the plant’s resinous surface.
This strain’s aroma is front-heavy with a bold, fruity aroma. Its loud smell will instantly fill a room with a sweet scent. After that smell registers in your nostrils, you’ll detect hints of herbs and pepper. It also features hints of pine and spices, which take a place front and centre as soon as you spark it up.

100% worth the price. Squished into rosin. Great results. Is one of my Greenz go to strains when in stock.
Cabi –
Worth the price when on sale. Nice buzz, although not as potent or uplifting as one would like. I guess this will vary between batches. Leaves a nice aftertaste.
Jess –
Disappointed with the lack of terps. Easy smoke for during the day, though.
shaw –
A reliable go to in my books. It is a great strain with a bit of a citrus flavour. I use this bud when I have to do work around the house. Good headrush without the lazy side effects. Great value as well
Mell –
Everytime i have gotten this strain it is dissapointing, i dont know if it lives up to its name at all. Everytime i smoke it i get a little baked for maybe 5 minutes then just makes me sleepy, really weak grow. I will never get this strain again.

For me this is the best wake n bake bud. I suffer from depression and find this a helpful push to get up and get going.
Also since it’s a milder high there seems to be little to no burnout.
GHGr –
Burned fairly well. Looked a bit rough and taste was similar. Left me feeling focused and at ease. Not bad for the price.

This batch was not as good as the first. gets too sticky towards the end

John –
Nice batch. Definitely a classic jack, big hairy buds with a nice thick tasty smoke. Energetic, sativa high. Great value. Only complaint is that my big beautiful buds were very squished.
kyle –
Classic sativa. Best price for the product. If you’re into sativa, you can’t go wrong.
Mela –
One of my favorite strains. Such an uplifting day time high. Gave me serious giggles and always such an amazing price. Anxiously waiting until I can buy again!
Lord –
It’s ok. Nice for the price, someone with low budget. Fluffy, not much trichomes, tastes average/bad, alright buzz….
I’d try to skip or try a few Gs maybe. Still, it’s quite alright really..
Quite different with different batches too…
Boba –
Great batch for the price. Always a pleasure. Thank you!
TSTS –
Very good Jack Herer
John –
For $5/g it’s decent value. I wouldn’t pay more though..

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jack! It is one of my favourites and as a day/creative smoke it’s the best. Get this product anytime you see it… love the service and products from Greenz!
Dawg –
I wish I could smoke this at work cause it keeps me very focused. I like to smoke it before I mow the lawn, or even just doing house chores. Great daytime smoke but I usually smoke it whenever.
Hope they get more in stock!
nati –
I enjoyed this a lot but the buds were kind of dry. It was a nice high though!
v_2c –
Nothing fancy, did the trick.
Hook –
Excellent ‘O’. This Jack is so fresh, I swear it’s straight off the plant. Not damp, burns slow, fires up all hybrid effects. We are very happy with this strain. May become a regular staple. Thanks again.
fufu –
I will never get tired of Jack. Consistently great and always a good deal!

Last batch didn’t smell or taste like any pot I’ve ever smoked. Mellow buzz.

Jack herer has become my favorite strain from Greenz. Lately every batch I’ve purchased from has been top notch, and the price is unbeatable. Just the right amount of stickyness, big buds, nice taste and smell, and great for day or night.

High doesn’t last that long, but good enough. Good for the price and handy to have around. I smoke this when I don’t want to get into a high daze

goul –
really good stuff for the price you can’t go wrong

rbou –
Very good deal for price and quality. Nice looking buds and good smoking
Serg –
Good product, delivers a great day time buzz, perfect for if you are looking for something to keep you going through out the day that won’t put you to bed
Anto –
Good price, good daytime strain!
trim –
This is a unique strain from a flavour/aroma profile standpoint, but besides that, it’s pretty good. It’s not going to blow your socks off, but it does happily get the job done. Nice uplifting effects; sort of a non-trippy sativa high. Burns, like I said, unlike most other strains I’ve had. Not unpleasant, though, but I do feel that this may be highly subjective.
Worth a try if you are looking for something a little different – grab it on sale for a great deal!
Stev –
My buddy ordered some of this last week. Different taste but definitely did the job
Dime –
I found this kinda harsh on my throat. Bit of a musty taste to it that corrects when it drys right out, but it makes it pretty harsh. Not a bad high but not great. For the price it’s a good bang for your buck. Great for homemade butter for baking.
luhu –
Great!!
Cali –
It gets me high, but it’s mostly seeds, and you shouldn’t smoke seeds. So when you pull the amount of seeds out, you dont have much weed left, and you still end up with seeds. Not ordering again
tige –
Always my favourite to order .. and awesome price
ramm –
at price a mellow excellent ,recommend
Memm –
Nice taste, gets me a nice head high that lasts, good stuff good price
Ciga –
Good bud, easy on the wallet.
ema7 –
Good smoke. Steady high and MUNCHIES!!
jsin –
Good bud for the price
hann –
Easily my new favourite daytime smoke. Light and uplifting, it’s the perfect strain for blue winter days. Highly recommend!
TSTS –
Nice buds good smoke a little stemmyy
Boba –
I like this strain! This batch was light and fluffy- it smoked well though. It is definitely a great deal for the price!
Mj82 –
It’s ok I’ve had better from here. Smoked well just didn’t get very high
kayo –
The buds were very leafy and the entire ounce I received was moist. The stems were all pliable and and could bend like lightly-cooked spaghetti. There was no density to the stems whatsoever… In fact, I had to fish them out of my grinder because they wouldn’t grind. The smoke was rather smooth, however, there was no discernable “wow” factor to the high, if I could even call it a high. This comes at a good value, but it’s really for those who prefer quantity to quality. Low quality buds at a great price.
dom5 –
Great Sativa strain for during the day and staying productive. A little harsh on the end and not the greatest taste, but for the price, I would casually smoke Jack Herer all the time!
Bren –
I think this strain is very good for the price. On the lighter side. Great for daytime.
Apro –
Great smell, taste and good buzz.. will order again
Chro –
Same consistency every time! A nice light daytime smoke that mixes very well with other strains! will continue to order, especially for $5 / gram !!
oliv –
Great quality for the price!
Drag –
Really impressed with this product! I wish I could post a picture as one of the buds stretched plum across my palm! After getting smalls with some of the other strains this is as good as it gets for $5 grams.
acre –
I loved it at first, a clean and happy high. But I had to rotate strains because of headaches
pres –
probably a classic for a lot of people, but that was the first time for me trying jack herer. and it become my new favorite. great for day time

Mais, pour buzzer, y buzz 😉
fufu –
This wasmy 3rd time buying Jack and by far the best batch yet. Not dry like previously, much bigger buds, stronger and nicer taste, and milder on the throat.
nikk –
Nice buds this time around. Great filler for the amazing price.
rlaj –
Didn’t seem very strong but the price is great. Decent all purpose weed.
aure –
dont like how it is bone dry it crumbles when u grab a bud of it, not a super potent taste or smell, but it gives a nice mellow buzz. definatley would not pay more than 5 a gram.
Taco –
Very good price and does the job but the taste is not very good
Kmat –

Smac –
Last batch had an amazing taste. Have reorder today.
burr –
You get what you pay for sometimes, kind of weak but nice to enjoy all day long.

Bought this because of its similarities with blue dream. I found I was a bit more anxious and was getting incredible headaches off of it. Tried a few times and same thing.
Race –
should have known by the price…not good at all
Mike –
Great bud for the price,burns nice with a tasty buzz

MzBl –
Last batch was super leafy and loose nugs, but still smoked great and had decent potency.
fufu –
Like user Kenz, I preferred the first batch I got of this strain. Second batch didn’t taste as good. Maybe the next batch will be better.
kcot –
One of the better strains I’ve personally tried. Gave me the best high.
Diam –
I’m not a big fan. I found it to be harsh ! Plus it had a lot of stems and loose leaf.
BenB –
Very good weed
Kris –
Love the nice euphoric, boosting high I got from this strain, perfect for day use but helped take the edge off my rheumatoid arthritis
XX –
Very disappointed, it didn’t even get me hi
rock –
I have to agree with lady. But I was not disappointed. it was just a longer smoke.
KatK –
I really like this one…. wish i bought more!!!!
Lady –
I love Jack but was super disappointed with my last order. It was beyond moist…. I understand with the way growers are pushing product out as fast as possible but this took over three days with the bag open to try and get it dry enough to smoke well and then the weight was significantly different. Very disappointed with this one order and I LOVE Greenz so it says a lot. It was just this one order and the Blue Rhino I got was just fine and it was ordered the same time. Probably just a fluke.
Wmok –
This strain is suprising nice. The taste was good but not near the best i’ve had. Great for price.
Mela –
Love this strain. Burns great, super smooth, great buzz for price. Will buy again
MzBl –
Fully decent buds, slightly unusual taste but burns nice and lasts decently
Bouw –

heat –
Surprisingly nice flavor, very clean smoke! A nice buzz for a good price.
jame –
Great high, bad taste tho(or at least the multiple batch I got), I find this one to be a bit harsh on the throat but when I still recommend whenever its on sale.
tige –
All time fave for the price
Kitt –
Very surprised! This was my first order and I figured I’d take the chance seeing the price, wow! I am a seasoned chronic and this stuff was a very pleasant high! Nancy was wonderful online helping me through the process and even surprised me with a free gram! Good burn, good high!
Jenn –
This is one of my favs. Great buzz and nice taste to it. Can’t wait to buy again.
Corb –
Don’t judge a book by its cover…. it ain’t pretty but it works !!! great for day time and long car rides !!
Feen –
This is my Go-To morning smoke, I love rolling a joint of JH with my coffee.
gives you an uplifting, energetic high.
Zent –
Not a good batch I received. Burned buds with a bad leafy taste. At least no mold and the buzz is okay.
nerc –
Go to daily smoke, great for work!
Jame –
Tried this stuff and wasn’t really pleased. Smoked alright, but not much of a buzz. Price was good, but probably won’t order again
Kate –
Didnt look good but it tasted and smoked great
bam6 –
decent enough but the price was right
Patm –
Was fine for a while but seemed to loose some of it’s potency after a while offering smoking it
odre –
Bon pot de jour, te permet de rester actif et happy
Bon gout fume bien au joint
Jord –
Uplifting without ensuing fatigue. The high is there, but bag appeal, smell, and taste are very poor. I don’t regret buying it, but I won’t re-purchase.
Ozzi –
Interesting strain with a different appearance but don’t be fool by it’s look, very potent uplifting weed, easy to grind and burn. Become one on my classic, enjoy.
shaw –
Good buzz
JEO –
Very surprised with this one. Buds were very fluffy not the usual tight nugs. Advantage not a lot of stems. The high was very energetic. Was a nice smoke to get ready hockey. Thanks Greenz, always delivered on time and great products!!

Andr –
Classic jack look and bag smell. Looks a bit week bag appeal wise but this is a great clean smoke . Very good sativa high
Lord –
Huge buds, very fluffy (too much). Does the job as a sativa, it just tastes and smell bad…
Cmof –
great for the price! No complaints!
nell –
Meh. Not that good. Priced well.
dyla –
great morning bud, aaa+
Bass –
Big Buds….super buzzy sativa energy high. Definitely a day dose. Enjoy!
Orca –
This is incredibly rare of me. I love Greenz and I find their product to be of the highest quality. Then I ordered this. It was in a fairly large order, not that this is any excuse, but it was mushed into the box like it was closing time. I tried to “fluff” it up as much as I can but I am more than disappointed. It is a terrible smoke; cant get the consistency right. The effect is very good! It ALMOST offset the aggravation I feel trying to prepare it for anything. Might make cookies, stay posted!
Judd –
Nice big buds….great energy boost for daytime.
alis –
Not as great as it sounds in the comment section, just saying.
Kenz –
The first time I got this I loved it. Second time, I did not. Extremely stemmy, burns unevenly, taste isn’t anywhere near as good as the first time I got it. I’m not real happy with this stuff.
john –
Came as a GIANT bud, good smel, good taste. Very good bang for your buck
Robe –
Wayyy better than the last time I ordered, fluffy but if u dry it just a little the buds are rock hard and have a lot of substance. Nice Sativa for cheap.
shaw –
Very nice buzz
dyla –
great burn great high
Bass –
Great feeling, wide awake and able to get stuff done. Does provide a bidy buzz though….nothing to crazy.
gala –
Great day time smoke, gave me more of a body high than expected. I would recommend this to anyone.
too4 –
Mine came today and smoke a bowl right away. It’s very leafy with a lot of hair .and a bit sticky. Great smell and burn. Light daytime weed in my opinion.Great for first time users.
BigJ –
Good smoke, good taste. All around, above average flower. Would order again. Cant beat the price.

Spog –
excellent stuff for the price!
Anto –
I appreciate this strain, really good deal at this price!
coha –
The buds are great, nice and big and full. Burnt nice and clean , and the taste was decent. It was also decently trimmed. The potency is very nice as well and has a nice initial impact and lasting effects.
Eizn –
Great stuff. Really big buds and busted up very fluffy. Had some issues getting it to smoke evenly without a filter but not a big issue.
Cann –
Big buds, great smoke and a buzz that’s confused but energized
