Jack Herer is a prized [[Cannabis sativa|sativa]]-dominant sativa/indica hybrid of [[Cannabis]] well known for both its cerebral high and its strong body high. The [[strain]] is a cross between [[Skunk]] #1, [[Haze (Cannabis)|Haze]], and [[Northern Lights (Cannabis)| Northern Lights]] #5. Jack Herer is the parent to many [[#Subset strains|subset strains]]. The goal was to make a 50 percent Haze cross that kept the properties of this top-rated sativa, while shortening the painful 6 month flowering time that a full-blooded Haze demands.

== Medical uses ==

Jack Herer being a [[Cannabis sativa|sativa]]-dominated strain can be effective in relieving stress and depression. It is also viewed as a motivational medicine, stimulating energy, creativity and concentration.

== Characteristics ==

Jack Herer is a hybrid strain that generally leans Sativa (usually consisting of 55-60% Sativa and 45-40% Indica).

Jack Herer produces earthy flavors and scents of spice and skunk combined with a signature haze accent. The dense, clustered buds often appear light green due to a frosty resin coating.

The strain contains between 15–20% of the active ingredient [[THC]] and as of late 2011 it sells for between 10 and 16 dollars a gram at medical dispensaries near Seattle, WA.
