Featured MMJ Strain: J1
J1 is a hybrid strain dominated by sativa, and when grown properly, is a very high potency medical marijuana (medical cannabis) strain. J1 is known for providing a strong, uplifting, clear headed high while maintaining relaxation in the patient. The genetic sativa dominance makes J1 a perfect strain for any patient looking to medicate without impairing their levels of energy. However, J1, being a hybrid, has been reported to have the strong anxiolytic effects from its Indica genetics, alongside the prevalent energetic sativa buzz.
J1 buds are slender, yet dense and packed with resin glands. The bright orange and red hairs create a very noticeable contrast, adding to the visual pleasure of this great looking bud. J1 emits a pungent odor, comparable to Jack Herer’s piney flavor with citrusy terpene overtones and undertones of skunk.

Included below are three reviews of J1 which MMJ patients posted on Leafly, a marijuana strain network for patients..
If you suffer from anxiety, this is the strain for you. I suffer from acute anxiety due to a condition named Dystonia. I have a mild case which means that I have a slight muscle problem and facial ticks. When I hit this (only 2 hits from a piece) I thought I was cured. I like this strain because I can focus and get things done and for once, have a normal conversation with people. No memory loss, just an overall calming and happy sensation. I’ve been looking for anxiety calming strains and this and Strawberry cough are the best I’ve tried.” -Kinglui
“Really decent especially for $65 a quad at Bloom in Phx. Very happy. Don’t get me wrong I’ve had better but I was very pleased. Really nice bud structure and “weed” flavor. I like my weed to taste like weed. Nothing else. Not a blueberry fan or anything like that too much. Hits real smooth. Great for any type of smoking. Don’t know about vape. But imagine it would be better. I’m a long time smoker (19 yrs) but I smoke strictly medicinally now. I medicate for pain, anxiety and depression. I have fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease in my lower back, IBS, along with the depression and pretty severe anxiety at times. This work about as good as anything else in treating all of my symptoms. Very grateful for medical marijuana.” – vikingjosh
“Great strain, fun for hanging out with friends, food, music. I got the munchies big-time though, worse than with most sativas. I felt full and stuffed, yet still wanted more and more food. Usually I can placate the hunger, but not with this one, so be careful! 🙂 Was also fairly energetic and was able to stay awake and focused for longer. And then at the end, a nice slow dive into drowsiness. Really great strain and one I will return to often.” -PFFK
