I recently purchased 7 grams of this "Jefe OG." It came in a red bag that said cookies on the back, I was very intrigued when I opened it as I smelled alot of fruity/earthy terps. I couldn't wait to smoke it. The people I heard that tried this strain said its a good one. I got home and rolled a joint, maybe 0.9 grams. I smoked it and I realized it wasnt gonna get the job done. You see i have a high tolerance so I have to smoke a lot. I decided to grab my pipe and pack some bowls. "Jefe OG" got me so high. It had been about 8 hours since I smoked. As soon as I packed my second bowl listening to music, I was floating. This is most definitely a strong strain, and if beginners smoked this I don't know how high they'd be honestly. It gave me some munchies, however it wasn't like a NEED to get food it was more like... whatever's there is there and that's what ill eat. Its more of a relaxing strain, it doesn't put you to sleep, it relaxes you. However if you are using this as a bedtime strain, you will definitely get good sleep. So all in all, "Jefe OG" is one of my new favorite strains. Along with Lemoncello 10, and Blue Dream. These are now my top 3.

I didn't love this strain. I smoke predominately for insomnia related to PTSD. If I was upset and smoked, this strain would make me paranoid and anxious. If I wasn't upset and smoked, it was a decent high but I found the high was more of a mental high than a body high. If you're someone who struggles with insomnia, I found this strain actually kept me awake instead of putting me to sleep. It's not a heavy hitting Indica.

I smoke a decent amount and this strain locked me to my lawn chair after 2 bong rips. This is certainly a nighttime or evening strain. The nugs are beautiful in structure and completely caked in trichomes. The bag smells like a dirty pinecone and hits harsh on the initial inhale but tastes amazing with a somewhat fruity exhale. The body high takes a little to hit but I currently feel like butter melting between a nice warm biscuit in my blanket. 9.6/10

I never had a strain make me feel as tranquil and at peace with myself. Each time I use it, I feel as if I go on an introspective journey, and come out the other side a better person. It makes you understand why psychedelics help with PTSD and depression. The buds are dense, and loaded with trichomes one on top of the other. Dark and light green and earth tones patterned like textile. The flavor starts with a sweetness that is hard to describe until lemon bursts forward and has you fixate on it because it is so spectacular. Truly a magical strain, El Jefe is underated here. I truly hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy the real thing, especially if you need peace of mind.
