Featured MMJ Strain: Jack Flash
Jack flash, a cerebral hybrid strain, is known for its quick onset, hence the “Flash” in its name. Jack Flash has an extremely fast onset, and the high is energetic with high levels of body euphoria, as well as potent anxiolytic effects. The cerebral sativa in Jack Flash combines perfectly with the anxiolytic effects to create a high with mood-elevating effects. Because of the faster-than-average onset, Jack Flash is a perfect strain for any medical marijuana patient who has an illness that requires quick symptom relief.
A cross between Jack Herer, Haze, and high yielding Skunk, Sensi Seeds bred Jack Flash to be a high yielding and easy to grow sativa dominant hybrid, and a useful medicinal strain. The fast onset alongside the anxiolytic properties of the strain allow it to be used as a great anti-anxiety strain, potentially saving medical cannabis patients from experiencing anxiety attacks by relieving symptoms quickly after medicating.
Jack Flash is typically grown in a medium to large garden. Sensi Seeds, the originator of the strain, grows plants to a minimum of one meter before finishing, as they are sativa dominant and have the potential to grow very large. The buds have big beautiful calyxes, bright hairs, and, when grown properly, are extremely resinous.
Included below are three reviews of Jack Flash which MMJ patients posted on Leafly, a marijuana strain network for patients..
“Went in to pick up Jack Herer and came out with Jack Flash. It gives a productive high. Nice in the morning with your coffee. Energy, focus, lots of smiling and laughing…I’ve heard there’s two versions. This is the sativa dominant strain and it’s wonderful. I’m actually glad they were out of Jack Herer. Jack Flash has made my top 10. I’ll be taking him to the beach next week. He’ll make fun….funner.” –Hi2
Wow. Top 10 contender for sure. Bright, fresh lime green buds like its jack herer mother but with the fuck me high of its super skunk x haze father. Absolutely amazing pungent fruity tropical smell and flavour. The high hits you instantly with a nice even cerebral buzz, very euphoric and uplifting as with any well grown skunk variety. This cross is from Sensi Seeds and I’ve gotta give them props they’ve really outdone themselves this time. The only reason I didn’t give it a 10 was the high wasn’t quite as strong as straight haze, but its really just splitting hairs at this point.” –TokinJ
“Very sweet and strong strain. The bud is dense, but not enough to make it too easily crumbled. The high takes very little time to kick in, smoked it an entire afternoon, the high can get really intense as you smoke more. I recommend if you don’t want to get really backed you smoke this strain, because at first it is euphoric and fairly uplifting. As you get higher, the high gets fairly different, I got pretty tired, and had a bit of a headache. Definitely not a strain you need to smoke a lot of in order to get a nice relaxing high, but still a pretty great, dank, bud to smoke.” –Ghostly
