Who is Jack Herer?
Jack Herer was an activist and marijuana crusader and writer.
He often advocated the benefits of the cannabis plant in all aspects of society from a fuel source and clothing to medicinal use.
Ironically in his earlier years, he was military police during the Korean War and was totally against marijuana.
It wasn’t until the mid-sixties did Jack get turned on to cannabis.
About twenty years later in 1985 he wrote the famous book called “The Emperor Wears No Clothes”.
He gathered as much information he could find from history to industrial use, medical benefits to backup the claims.
The book is a great read if you are interested in Marijuana. I highly recommend it. Its available here for free.
Jack continued to be a great advocate for the cause of legalization and use.
He ran for President of the United States 2 times once in 1988 and then in 1992. According to Presidents USA .
Jack passed away in 2010, but his memory will live on forever.
I hope this Jack Herer review will give you a better understanding of this type of strain and help you make a decision when looking for it.
Have you tried Jack Herer?
What are your experiences and thoughts on herb?
Let me know in the comments.
Today I received 7 Jack Herer Autoflower seeds from CK seeds. That’s 2 first for me in one day : #1: 1st time using CK seeds. ( used msnl my first grow of auto bluetooth). I’m very pleased with both CK and msnl.
#2: 1st time growing JH autos. (This will be my 2nd grow).
My 1st grow was 3 auto Bluetooth. I netted approx 8 ounces….very good smoke but Bluetooth seems to be too much indica dominant. Therefore; I’m really hoping that JH auto’s sativa dominant trait of being uplifting suits me better.
I really enjoyed your review…great job! Putting you on favorites list.

Thanks Larry really appreciate the kind words!
Just had my first out door grow. Jack plants were photoperiod and grew to 12 feet tall. One plant gave a pound. It is really smooth smoke and a really nice buz that isn’t overwhelming. The indica takes over after the evening is over and a really nice sleep helper it is. Love this strain, would grow again. Buds were humongous. Sticky. Lemony pine scent.
Got to hear Jack speak on tour at Antioch College in the early 90’s. His flower lives on.
Hi I’m late to the party as I’m in my early 60’s and just started to grow my own Jack Herer. Looking forward to the grow. I’ve just got into my first harvest of blueberry and it is nice…brother in law said I’ve found my calling lol only took me 60 years oh well let’s party…GOD BLESS EVERYONE AND BE KIND ALWAYS TO EACH OTHER.
Right on Barry , keep growing!
