Jack Herer
A clear-headed, creative sativa named for the cannabis legalization activist, bred by Sensi Seeds in 1990s Amsterdam.
Jack Herer — named after the cannabis activist and author of "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" — was created by Sensi Seeds in the Netherlands in the mid-1990s by crossing a Haze hybrid with Northern Lights #5 and Shiva Skunk. The result is a clear, focused cerebral experience that has made it one of the most reliable sativas in the modern market.
Expect uplifted, creative energy without the racy edge of some other sativas. The terpinolene-forward profile gives it a distinctive fresh pine and floral aroma. Jack Herer has four phenotypes, so expression varies meaningfully between cultivators — worth sampling across farms.
