The late Jack Herer — the legendary hemp activist, agitator, and author of hemp legalization bible The Emperor Wears No Clothes — enjoys a permanent high perch in the legal cannabis world, even among youngins who have no idea who he is. This is the status you enjoy when one of the best known and most popular sativa strains is named after you.
But straight Jack Herer — roaring, soaring, and fruity — isn’t for everybody. Like its outspoken namesake, Jack needs to chill out sometimes.
Black Jack is such a mellowing-out attempt. Here, a cut of Jack Herer is crossed with Black Domina, a dark-and-musty indica dominant strain that over the last six years has mostly disappeared from Northern California dispensary menus. That’s too bad, as Black Domina has an unique earthy funk reminiscent of skunky strains from Prohibition days — in a good way — and a relaxing, mellow buzz.
So what happens when you combine the high with the low?

APPEARANCE
A yellow green nug that seemed almost dusty as it broke apart easily in my fingertips — which were then covered in trichomes. (Jack Herer is known for long, spindly, hard-to-grow plants, so that trait is definitely dominant.)
AROMA

You get that tangerine and fruity nose from the Jack, but there’s a savory meatiness to it — a funk or a musk, you could say, that’s attributable to the earthier, indica-dominant Domina.
TASTE
It’s all fruit on the dry hit from a freshly-rolled joint, with the slightly acidic sweetness of tangerine. The taste hits the back of your mouth with other juicy fruit notes on a hit. It’s almost lip-smackingly sweet. After a few hits, some more piquant notes of pepper and limonene started to appear. More complex than it seemed at first blush.
EFFECTS
